Milsim

Short for Military Simulation. It is usually a type of airsoft game often consisting of several hundred players, usually wearing a standardized loadout for whichever side in the game they are playing on so they will be recognizable to their teammates and add to the realism of the event. They can sometimes last several days, and are often very expensive to get ready for depending on what kind of gear you need for the event and what kind of gear you already have. Milsim games are typically more organized than a standard pickup game at a local airsoft field, being that squads often communicate with radios, and different squads have different objectives. Milsim games can vary in realism quite substantially, some even going all the way through the night, using pyrotechnics to increase the effect, and sometimes even using real guns firing blank rounds.
