How long can you go for?

[C3 Tactical]

What do you think, realistically, is the longest you could airsoft non stop for? Assuming ammo, food, shelter etc is all taken care of whats the longest you could actually play airsoft for before going either mental or dieing from exhaustion?

I think I could manage about a week before wanting to cry/kill someone! If there were night ops included then if they were managed correctly you wouldn't burn out too fast. It would definitely come down to decent command and control.

Pretty interesting question.

Are we talking 24/7 or with the standard stops for re arming and taking a break etc?

Last week I played a game that lasted over 2 hours and that wasn't a problem... I really don't know tbh. I guess indefinitely, as it would end up like being at war for real in terms of how much time you spend playing.

hmm a week if im not constantly in a firefight or more

3 days in a constant firefight

but i know if the story or setting is relly interesting or sounds fun then we will just have to wait lol

Not the question i was expecting with that title...

I reckon I could go ~a week

 

[Hudson]

Longest I've personally done is 4 days (Out of a 5 day event; had to leave during day 4), but that was almost 9 years ago, not sure if my out of shape self could cope with that now, though!

I can only play for up to 2 days (with no night game), I would love to do more but my ankles slowly dislocate as I walk/run/stand

*EDIT* The longest I have played with no break was 5hours at NAE but then I had to go back to the camp-site for my other gun

i burst out laughing when i read the title

Yep, same.

I could go all night baby, but you might struggle to keep up, I closely resemble a blue whale in the pants depar-...Oh. Wait, this isn't that valentines match making service for those into ritual sacrifice! Oops.

Seriously though, I could live airsoft, I dunno why I never considered joining the forces sooner tbh.

you do know it's not plastic coming out the end of the tube bit don't you?

 

[Doombull3t]

give me 7 days, then i'd need some R&R i can do 18 hour's playing, with 6 hours to eatandsleep, im always into that sorta stuff, thatswhy i joined the army

 

[Rock-climby-Dave]

theoretically infinitely, I simply don't stop working untill I'm too cold. - I lasted the england scotland game on nothing more than a single mince pie and 6 hours sleep overnight.

It also would depend on how far you take 'airsofting'

Speedball - an hour tops (before break)

open day skirmishing - 3 days in a row

low end Mil-sim (england scotland game stirling run) 4-5 days

High end Mil-sim 2-3 weeks providing the story keeps it active.

something I have just invented called 'Dave-sim' in which everyone goes about their everyday lives, but is constantly armed to some extent (airsoft) and fire fights could break out at any stage, also there are small street gangs thrown in with larger weapons just to harrass everyone - Infinate

Dave-sim sounds like a cracking idea.

 

[Governor]

I would pay £200 to enter a Dave-sim

 

[M_P]

I would pay £200 to enter Dave

You disgust me.

 

[Governor]

You disgust me.

It sounds good, full of surprises and would be awesome

 

[Governor]

You disgust me.

Oh... I see what you did -_-

Sorry for Double post

 

[M_P]

My genius knows no bounds :lol:

 

[magicaldr]

Well my unfit self finds six hours skirmishing (multiple games) enough, but I suspect I could go longer on a milsim style event. My challenge would become time from work / wife not just playing, but recovering the other side...

 

[G-Force]

It sounds good, full of surprises and would be awesome

That just made it even worse :lol:

Reckon I could go on a continous week of airsoft so long as I got a couple of hours of sleep each night.

Also Dave-sim needs acctualy happen now!
