OptimusPrime

If you are going to use vehicles in an airsoft milsim event, please take a moment to watch this video by MilSim West on vehicles rules which you can adopt for your event. You can modify it to fit local laws especially in terms of allowed drivers... "Interested in what the vehicle rules are at MilSim West? Check out this video! Special thanks to Tactical Tailor for letting us use their vehicle.

Participant and Team vehicles are not authorized for use at MSW events unless cleared by the staff prior to arrival at the event. PM the staff on the MSW Facebook page for requests. Before you contact MSW to request approval to bring your vehicle, ensure you are willing to follow these rules:

  • You must be willing to transport any and all passengers as directed by your faction commander and first sergeant. Your vehicle is not for the sole use of your personal airsoft team. Team work is the key to success at MSW events.
  • You must follow the orders of your faction commander and first sergeant. This means returning to base when directed or moving to an area of tactical importance to ensure the initiative is seized and exploited. There is zero tolerance for rogue vehicles crews. Poor comms is not an excuse for failing to maintain communication with your leadership. If you have the money to bring a vehicle for airsoft use, then you have the money to invest in a high quality high wattage radio.
  • Failure to follow these rules will result in you being denied to use your vehicle at MSW events.
  • All vehicle crews must follow the eyepro rules listed on page 7 of this TACSOP.
  • All vehicle Drivers and Truck Commanders (TCs) must be at least 21 years of age. No exceptions.
  • All vehicles must observe the posted or event directed speed limit.
  • All vehicles must have a driver and TC at all times.
  • The TC is accountable for the actions and safety of the driver, the gunner and the passengers. It is the TC’s responsibility to ensure all rules are
  • followed by both the vehicle crew and it’s passengers.
  • A vehicle may be destroyed by shooting a rocket or 40mm TAGs grenade at it from an approved device. 1 shot = 1 kill. If hit the vehicle is considered destroyed, the driver and truck commander (TC) are considered 'killed', and all passengers are considered 'wounded'. When hit all passengers must exit the vehicle and follow the 'Wounded' rules in place. The vehicle along with the driver and TC must be driven back to their respective company HQ for regenning.
  • Participants may fire BBs at vehicles to wound the driver, TC, or passengers. If the driver is 'wounded' the vehicle must stop in place and participants must follow the 'Wounded' rules to get the driver back in the event and therefore making the vehicle usable again. An alternative can be for another participant, 21 years or older, to remove the driver and take over as the driver. This must be cleared with the vehicle owner prior to doing so."
