Calling all International Airsoft Players
 
AN INVITATION TO JOIN UAA

The United Airsoft Alliance (UAA), an international organization of brotherhood and camaraderie among airsoft players and teams, cordially invites all international teams and players the world over to join our organization.

Currently our international members hail from Abu Dhabi, Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore, United Arab Emirates, and the United States.

Our principles are stated in our Manifesto and Code of Ethics for playing, which are posted in the opening page of this web site.

We welcome all international players and teams to join in solidarity with our vision of worlwide friendship among all airsoft players.

hmmm....reading..the word Gospel scares me...hmmm

this rule for Knife kills is interesting
Quote:

9.2 A knife kill occurs when a player “taps” the opponent on any part of his body. When that happens the opponent is considered “dead”.
so you don't need a knife for a knife kill..
Quote:

9.3 A “knife killed” opponent does not announce that he/she is “hit”, but raises his/her weapon over his/her head and proceeds out of the play area like any “hit” player.
and this keeps it silent..hmm

Quote:

13.2 No swearing (There are kids in the area!)
say what?!?!

-=]MH[=-RaiDen August 24th, 2006 15:33

O.o what what what!?!? Kids!!?!?

Houston August 24th, 2006 16:42

Yeah because kids play in the U.S. and the Phillipines.. I guess Hong Kong too..

They probably just don't understand the rules around here. I'm pretty sure Canada is the only country that has the rule 18+ to play..? I may be wrong though.

Ahhh.....I hope they are referring to civi that were hired to be in the airsoft milsim.

in the us (as far as i know i herd this from us players) an 8 year old can walk into an airsoft gun shop with there parent and get one at 10 they can do it themselves

and yes they have whole stores dedicated to airsoft or so i am told

cry cry sob sob were forced to order online

side note i dont know how accurate the information actually is but i know its dam close i may be off by no more then 5 years

but lets also not forget this is the country that its there constitutional right to bear arms (they can legally make it so that americans have to register and get permits but above all its there right to own a gun) that's kinda scary but i rather live in i think its switzerland there you can play airsoft in the streets lol and no orange tips

yeah i went on a vacation a few years ago with my friends to Hong Kong and you see all these kids running around in malls, streets, subway, with no-name brand BB guns, kids like 12+ usually get marui springers/GBBs. you see BBs all over the ground in hong kong. Kind of scares me. I think HK allows kids to get guns and its ok to publically bring it out is because its impossible for citizens to get real firearms (only if your are terrorist and you smuggle it in which again is impossible) and so the police there are used to kids with crappy springers....

my 2 cents :-D

Yeah, I knew they played in public, I just didn't know if they allowed kids.

Guess they do.

I read that they play in parks, streets, and basically anywhere in an open place, which is a really stupid idea, what if a random person walked thru a couple of people shooting at each other, not knowing of what is going on, and got hit in the eye?

Another reason why I don't want to go to Hong Kong.

Scary thought, but I doubt there is so little control.

I come from Hong Kong, and actually am living in HK for the summer... It's kindda true that kids can get bb guns when they are like 12... but i have never see kids shooting each other in malls, streets, subway. Although they are not strict about the purchase of airsoft guns, i am pretty sure everyone in hk are pretty strict about playing in public. As for bringing it out to public, ya everyone is fine with a 12 year old kid runnin around with a toy pistol yelling "bang bang".

Chinese parents are pretty strict about public display.... shootin someone in a mall will rarely happen. i cant say 100% percent, cause i dont know everything, and its bound to happen once or twice, even in canada.

Gun purchase is like imposible in HK... i dont even know if there is a real steel gun store in hk. i think we are a lot safer even compared to canada. At least we havnt had a gang war with ppl gettin shot while they shop outside eaton mall.

so u dont have to be afraid to come to HK. i've never heard of anyone gettin shot while they take a stroll at the mall, or takin the subway to work! :grin:

MercedeSChink August 24th, 2006 22:09

Wow... I'm from hong kong, and i go to hong kong at least twice a year, but i have never seen people in the streets with bb guns, and i have never spotted BBs in public (like on the ground and stuff). Even in Mongkok (where most bb gun shops are) i have never seen a kid, or even an adult walk around with a BB gun before.

Edit: just to clear things up, i have never seen a person in hong kong with a BB gun in their hands. All i see is that they carry it in boxes, so they can get from point A to point B. Us Asians aren't THAT crazy... :-D

What kinda fucked up neighbourhood did you live in??? And you seem to have no idea what you're talking about, you sure you went to HK and not to Texas?

I lived in HK for like 10 years, and still go back every few years to visit. Yeah you can get airsoft at a lot of places, most toy store carry some cheap springers, but you certainly don't see a lot of kids running around with their springers or AEG in public. That's just over-exageration. At most, I see kids running around with super fake plastic guns that shoots out red plastic suction darts. (The ones you get for a dollar at the dollar store and break after 20 shots)

The furthest public kids will go with a real airsoft gun is inside the apartment conplex, ie running around the floor they live on with other kids. Even then, I can't say I've seen one and I lived at quite a few places. HK is a city where majority parents actually stand at the playground and watch their kids play, you think they'll let their kids run around with a BB gun? They are scared shitless when the kid got a tiny scrap on knee let alone having their kids getting potentially shot in the eye. And they won't bring it to school to show off either because their backpack at literally packed with books since grade 1!!!

There are plenty of airsoft fields in HK, indoor and outdoor! They even have one in the basement of a mall, so it's easily accessible for most.

So who ever says people in HK play airsoft in public, take some pictures, prove me wrong. Until then, do use your "I heard from this guy", "I heard from a friend", "I read about it". :smack:

There are gun clubs that are mostly pistol based, can't say I've seen or heard about a gun club with shotguns or rifles. But then again, you can play with real steel in a lot of places in China.

I remember going as a kid, my uncles got to fire maybe a mag off an AK and a few pistol mags. (They could be blanks, but I was too young to remember)

Ya... i know about gun clubs in china, someone invited me once but never got the chance to go. Never really hear about gun clubs in HK.

Hong Kong is the airsoft mecca.... i think its fine if we dont have any real steels roaming the streets.

And might I add that I've never hear/read about arm robbery with an airsoft.

Prowler August 25th, 2006 00:35

a big WTF on my part, if your going to create a GLOBAL airsoft community do it RIGHT at least. jesus. Don't fuck it up.

Prowler,

We are inviting you to join. Now, where did we FUCK UP? It is an invitation, most of the comments here are even out of topic. If you dont want to join then fine, dont.
But to swear on a thread like this and comment that we are fucking up - makes me think you are not a gentleman, perhaps barbaric, I use to look up to guys being refined, but you destroyed all that notion. leaves a bad taste in the mouth.
Or are you trying to prove to everyone here that you're one macho guy, big shot, a super strong Mr. KNOW EVERYTHING A**H*LE.
then if thats how you feel of yourself, fine I respect you for thinking you are such. But geesss, swearing like that and commenting as if you know everything there is about airsoft, looks to me you're one A**H*LE trying to push your way, thinking your way IS THE WAY

lt_poncho August 25th, 2006 11:41

Ginson - Pare, try to remember you are speaking to a bunch of ignorant fucktard noobs which populate most of this board. They couldn't even begin to conceptualize the Airsoft environment in the Philippines, the history involved, the fact that Canada represents a sliver of the international community and how far out in space that community is compared to the rest of the world.

So don't take comments here the wrong way - instead feel sorry for the short sighted poster whom most likely will fall into the 85% demographic of Canadian Airsofters who get in and out of the sport like they change their underwear/go thru a revolving door/change sex partners like Lindsay Lohan. Some of the PARE's here might understand your point of view, as I am sure a lot of HK players - unfortunately these players who have this knowledge and insight have stepped back from this forum a LONG time ago.

It's kind of like making the mistake that the solar system we inhabit is in/close to the CENTER of the known galaxy. Imagine their surprise when they stick their fucking head out the window!!

Prowler - smarten up.

MMMiles! August 25th, 2006 11:52

Cleaned, let's stay on topic and...

it's easier to report a post than bitch someone out and spoil your own thread.

You can feel even sorrier for those pinoys who became ASC moderators and havn't found a way to step back from the forums ;) (I just try to stay in the shadows a bit hehehe)

Check your PM's Ginson

Prowler August 25th, 2006 14:32

Appologies to all, just realized i posted the other night when i shouldn't have, drunk no less. Much shame on my part, and I guess my mind was somewhere else completely when I was typing. Again Sorry. Won't happen again.

Now for my actual thought on this. I do like the idea of a global network of airsofters and would be more then happy to join your forums. I like how ASC is a close knit bunch of people and enjoy the fact that Canada is very close to the UK players. Seeing other players from other countries would be an awsome thing to experience.

ginson August 25th, 2006 14:32

Lt Poncho and Arnisador,

Thanks. I will stand down. This punk think he knows everything about everything.

In Denmark, you have to be 18 years to buy and own an airsoftgun, but if you are 16+, you can play, if you got a written permission from your parents/legal guardian.

Not to add feul to the fire, but Prowler did apologise, to call him a 'punk' after that isn't very tactful. Prowlers a good guy, and he did say he was sorry.

As for the purpose of the UAA, intresting idea, it can't hurt. Im not quite sure if we need such a thing here in Canada. Airsoft in other parts of the world is definetly different then airsoft here (the age limit for example). Even the different provences here in Canada sport different rules based on slightly different codes of ethics. To each their own I guess, but airsoft is about good clean fun, and (at least here in Montreal) we don't really have a problem keeping it clean, we know the rules, we know what we value and know how to behave.

Prowler August 26th, 2006 00:51

hawk, its all over and done with, dont worry about it :P

Hawkzor,

My apologies too, I got caught up writing the post and did not realized that Prowler was also writing, he may have been the first to submit the reply. I do not intend to add fuel, Prowler and I have PMed each other and made amends of the misunderstanding. All is fine now.
You are very right, our vision about airsoft is about fun too, enjoying the passion and want to share them with the rest of the world. Who knows, maybe in the future we might be able to organize an event that would call all softers to meet and share the same passion. To quote Lt Poncho, "we understand how strong a community stands when borders are broken"

Again, my sincere apologies to Prowler too for the misunderstanding.

Prowler August 26th, 2006 01:53

It has always been a dream of mine to see a convention for airsoft in canada. If someone could organize this here in Canada that would be awsome. Not to deter you from making a global one which would be better of course but I know it would not be here in Canada. Our community is not as large as other countries but we do stay very connected with each other.

Quote:

Kawkzor,
lol, I'm sorry but I'm going to have to call him that from now on.

Hawkzor August 26th, 2006 07:52

Prowline weve been over this, you can't have me im taken. :borg:

well where i think this organization would be really useful would be if/when we are ever allowed to bring our gear across borders. Say im in Canada and im spending a few weeks in the states, through the UAA it would be easier to find people to play with and make contacts in my new neighbourhood.

Ominae September 8th, 2006 16:17

May be an old revival, but some airsoft groups back home in Manila are seriously trying to sell airguns to people who are 18 and above due to crimes involving bystanders being attacked by kids with BB guns (China-made ones).

I wouldn't be a member of any organization that would take someone like me as a member. It would just be demonstrative of their low standards.

karbon September 8th, 2006 17:15

I fail to see a reason to join.

Kuraitenshi September 9th, 2006 14:38

While we may not be able to bring out favorite gun to the feild outside canada, but this org at least provides the oppertunity to find others out ther and borrow / rent a gun from the players wherever it happens to be. I think itsa good thing.
