Benefits of Airsoft The game of Airsoft is much like paintball. The difference between them is the kind of ammo that the guns shoot, and the player’s honesty and integrity more greatly tested in Airsoft, because it doesn’t leave a colorful mess. Many Airsoft guns are replicas made by real rifle manufacture companies, so Airsoft guns look like the real deal compared to paintball. Also the plastic pellet ammunition for Airsoft is much cheaper and less messy than paintball’s paint filled balls which some people will freeze to cause their opponent pain, which can be much more dangerous. Some Airsoft replicas have the same weight and function of a real firearm, specifically gas blowback Airsoft pistols, so it can be used to help a person build …show more content…
Most people feel pretty tired after a few hours of play. After awhile, endurance will increase, making it easier for people to last much longer. Some events can last over the course of two days through the night much like some of the military simulation games, or MilSim for short. Video gamers can no longer use the excuse that the games help their hand-eye coordination to avoid getting outside and being physical. With Airsoft we have to really coordinate our body movement to return fire and stay in cover at the same time. Shooting at a range or even hunting is quite different than shooting from cover . Airsoft can offer a conditioning workout, but it doesn’t take much to gain the benefits that come with it. Just a few times a week can offer improved self-esteem and self-satisfaction. Increased feelings of energy and confidence. As well as decreases symptoms associated with depression. All these good feelings give us more motivation to keep exercising, especially if it’s fun. It improves the ability to think faster on our feet. Increased awareness of how other people think. Airsoft also gives people a chance to learn how to sneak around better and hide from an actively searching group. This can become useful in a dangerous situation along the lines of a house break
“Off we go into the wild blue yonder, Climbing high into the sun, Here they come zooming to meet our thunder, at em’ boys give er’ the gun, Give er’ the gun.” The previous lines are the first part to the official United States Air Force song. The Air Force has played a huge role in all of our wars past, and current. But World War two was by far one of the first shining moments in Air Force history. The effect the Air Force had on the war was great, “The Navy can lose us the war, but only the Air Force can win it.” (Winston Churchill)
The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines an assault rifle as any various automatic or semiautomatic rifles with large capacity magazines designed for military use. An assault weapon might have characteristics like a pistol grip, a silencer, a bayonet mount, a grenade launcher or a flash suppressor. The Violence Policy Center, a non-profit organization based in Washington D.C., provided a study that listed the top ten points about what assault weapons are and why they are so deadly. This document stated, “semiautomatic assault rifles (like AK-47 and AR-15 assault rifles) are civilian versions of military assault rifles and there are virtually no significant differences between the two.” Machine guns or military style assault rifles are fully automatic, which means as long as you ho...
World War II was one of the deadliest military conflicts in history. There were many different battles that took place within this war; some more important than others. World War II began once Germany’s new dictator, Adolf Hitler, decided that he wanted to gain power for Germany and for himself. One of Hitler’s first moves in power was invading Poland on September 1, 1939. Many other countries became involved in this war because of the alliance system. The two sides during this war were the Allies and Axis powers. German, Italy and Japan were on the Axis powers; France, Britain, and the United States were on the Allies. Germany first began with the Blitzkrieg tactic meaning “lightning war”. This tactic is based on speed, surprise and was the most popular tactic. It is set up with military forces based around tanks which are supported by planes and infantry. The Blitzkrieg tactic lead to air wars with airplanes between countries. All of the countries were allowed to participate in the air wars but the four main countries were United States, Japan, Britain, and Germany. During the 1920’s and 1930’s airplanes grew in size and structure giving them more power, and making planes more effective. Planes made it easier to drop bombs, or plan attacks. All of these countries fought over air superiority. Air superiority is the position in which the air force has control over all of the air warfare and air power of the opposing forces. Germany began with air superiority but they lost it when Britain defeated them at the Battle of Britain. Gaining control over the air is a very big advantage because it is easier to plan an attack on an opposing country. All of the countries relied on their aircrafts during this war. The issue about the use of...
The first point that needs to be addressed is how video games are used for training purposes. Video games are used by the United States Army to train soldiers (Suellentrop). America’s Army helps the soldiers develop their fighting skills (Suellentrop). This video game also helps to teach soldiers how to learn to function as a team (Suellentrop). Along with the Army, video games train individuals how to respond in emergency situations (Issitt). Video games train people in many ways, even if it is unknown to many people how important they can be to society.
...aming microphone. Moreover, being physically imbalanced can lead to depression, which may play with one’s emotions as well as keep them from interacting with others in a positive way. With all the fowl language, one can easily pick up the lingo and express their feelings in the wrong way to others, as well as in an unprofessional and inappropriate manner. Furthermore, many studies find that by being physically active, it assures and enhances the well performance of the brain, which is closely linked to the endocrine system which is responsible for releasing hormones. Without proper exercise, one may be depressed or cranky, and may have hormonal imbalance. Many video gamers tend to stay late playing, which may cause fatigue and crankiness. In conclusion, video games in general can affect ones physical health, causing a downfall to all other aspects of that person.
Videogames are amazing they promote creativity, team-work and social interaction. Video games actually work to increase how good your eyesight is. One study done by scientist’s Daphne Bavelier and her team found that playing five to fifteen hours of action games (e.g., Call of Duty) a week increased how good the participants vision was in two ways "The first way is that they 're actually able to resolve small detail in the context of clutter… The other way that they are better is actually being able to resolve different levels of grey”. Sure games have violence in them but honestly what doesn’t, films and TV are chock full of it, heck even Tom and Jerry promote violence and animal abuse plus there is a reason that those big shiny red “18” stickers are put on games so that it is clearly shown that children aren 't supposed to be given access to these specific types of game. As for the “waste of time” nothing is really a waste of time if you gain something from it such as
Pang! Pang! Pang! Hit! Pang! Pang! Pang! Hit! That’s the sound of fun. That is the sound of shooting people in a game of airsoft. Airsoft is a daily thing for me. It is almost like an exercise. It gets your heart rate going. You have to sprint at times, duck behind cover and dodge bb’s. I love it; it is exciting and fun but sometimes painful. If you are going to get started, I will help you out.
The trials and tribulations of flight have had their ups and downs over the course of history. From the many who failed to the few that conquered; the thought of flight has always astonished us all. The Wright brothers were the first to sustain flight and therefore are credited with the invention of the airplane. John Allen who wrote Aerodynamics: The Science of Air in Motion says, “The Wright Brothers were the supreme example of their time of men gifted with practical skill, theoretical knowledge and insight” (6). As we all know, the airplane has had thousands of designs since then, but for the most part the physics of flight has remained the same. As you can see, the failures that occurred while trying to fly only prove that flight is truly remarkable.
The first thing you need to do to begin playing paintball is find a paintball gun and some paintballs. Since the sport of paintball has risen dramatically over the past few years finding these essentials for the game is easy. If you are playing for an extended amount of time and will be using a large amount of paintballs, then a half of a case will be a good amount of paint to begin with. An average case contains approximately two thousand rounds, or paintballs. Essentially a paintball is a ball with the diameter of a dime that contains paint. The paintballs come in various colors and hold many colors of paint. The outside is ...
Every so often there comes a book that really changes and changes the way that you look at things. While Traveller has often been compared to Firefly or Shotguns in Space, it never quite had the same feel of a Space Western that say Star Trek did. It had a more investigation and good people called to do sometimes bad things mood. But, what it kept coming back to was a sort of Western (genre) sensibility where players do form posses and go after bad guys. Which is as much a product of the Western, as it is out the experience of many servicemen/women returning from the theater of war – whether it was Vietnam or some of the more recent wars.
Studies have shown that there is a wide variety of physical and behavioral effects that video games can have on their players.
Video games can give players experience and knowledge, but they can also, at the same time, drain energy from a player by taking away vital sleep the night before a game . Video games can be a great source of basic athletic skills, improving hand eye coordination and visual search skills. Young athletes, who have been playing and practicing with sports video games have a greater understanding than older sports stars did when they first began playing a sport, but video games cannot create an athlete. Video games help athletes become better at their sport, but the video games cannot help a person become an athlete. "A better analogy for virtual training [sports video games] could be weight lifting: It’s an activity that won’t turn you into a professional athlete, but if you are one, it will make you better at your sport" (Suellentrop 20). Sports video games impact sports performance positively, but a balance must be found between video games and real life practicing, as video games can cause harm just as much as improvement for and athletes sports performance
Gaming provides more advantages than it does disadvantages. Playing video games is good for you. There are many game genres out there in the world, you just have to choose the right ones to benefit you. For example, if you pick a strategy game, it would help you in critical thinking and benefit you by helping to make good decisions. A great strategy game called Starcraft was inspected in an experiment. It was found that Starcraft helped increased brain flexibility. Brain flexibility is the ability to switch between tasks and look at things from a different point of view. Higher brain flexibility allows you to comprehend multiple concepts at the same time. Brain flexibility allows you to switch between thoughts based on certain conditions and helps you adjust to your situation. For example if I were thinking about playing a video game and end up seeing the word “homework” I would instantly think about whether I have homework or not, and if I do, I would stop thinking about playing gam...

Video game have been claimed as addictive, a waste of time, and a distraction. While this does apply to some people, others have found the benefits to playing video games. These benefits include simulating working environments, helping people escape working environments, and giving great experiences.
