"Should we stop publicising cheating in airsoft?" That's the question posted by the Surplus Store as they write about this scourge of airsoft games... "Unfortunately, like many other sports, cheating occurs in airsoft. As much as it pains us to admit, players, both new and experienced, bend, ignore, and break the rules of gameplay for their or their team’s benefit. Thankfully, and we’d like to make this clear, it is a meagre amount of people that commit these crimes, and the sport is certainly not ‘rife’ with cheating. That being said, it is a frequently talked about topic of conversation within the community. Rather than shying away from this topic, we’d like to open up the conversation and present our own opinion.

This particular article focuses on the filming and publishing of content that shows cheating players in the sport. Typically, this kind of content can be found on YouTube, along with airsoft groups and forums on social media. To clarify, when we say ‘cheater’, typically we mean someone that isn’t calling their hits. There are other ways for players to cheat the game and the system, but we think this is the most commonly experienced and talked about."
