Hello Airsofters I’m Nehemiah Varnell and I am going to be talking about why you have to get hit to get better at Airsoft. 

Alright, I know there’s a lot of you who just sit in respawn and shoot at people and never get any kills. Because I was that way once. I mean just look at my video of my first public match: Playing With a T-Rex at Airsoft Tactical. I was terrible, but because of a comment on that video by Jacobpz28 about the guy at the 13 minutes and 42 seconds into that video I am so much better and so much more fun. The first part of the comment was: “Heck yea. The guy is right about getting out there and getting shot. You will become more confident…”. 

So I took this advice to heart and when I went to South Carolina and played Airsoft I got 6 kills and I only played two matches (Airsoft in South Carolina (Black Ops Paintball and Airsoft)). Then I went back to Airsoft Tactical and got only 1 kill out of my 8 welts, but I had an amazing time. Then I continued to do this and in my latest video I got 13 kills on camera, which isn’t the highest number but it is pretty good (My Camera Lens Broke At Airsoft Tactical).

But getting hit a lot isn’t exactly what will make you better. It will help you a lot because you won’t feel as much pain because you’re used to it. But what will help the most is moving out. Also getting kills helps too because your being rewarded for playing and moving out will help you get more kills. But I will always know that I owe my Airsoft career to Jacobpz28 and that guy at the 13 minute and 42 second mark of my airsoft video.

But anyway in the second part of Jacobpz28’s comment he says “… play how you want to because it’s your money and if you wanna be more realistic and not run and gun then play it like that. It’s all about fun at the end of it all.” So I would encourage movement as you might enjoy it more but it’s all up to you. So maybe try it and have a good time and goodbye.
