In related news to our new line of mini mines, we are working on prototypes for airsoft "IED's" for airsoft opfor's and as challenges/objectives for airsoft forces.
What is an airsoft IED? Well, it's a spring powered "claymore" or mine disguised as some everyday object that you might find on the airsoft field, or other improvised munitions. For example, we have a "wing bomb" from a plane, about 3 feet long complete with fins and a nose cone that has to be "disarmed" as part of an objective for airsoft scenarios or wars. How do you disarm it? It is pretty much like playing the old game "operation", while taking fire from your opponents. And if you screw up taking out the funny bone? Instead of a light and a buzzer, the mine pops open throwing a large number of bbs in all directions.
These airsoft "IED's" are intended to give players more options in their scenarios, and increase the level of intensity on the field. Of course, we are striving for safety first, so there will be a long testing process to make sure these are as safe or safer than many other commercially available devices on the market today. As with any airsoft device, goggles will be required and we recommend you wear goggles while loading any airsoft mine or even grenade shells, just in case.
Stay safe, keep your eyes open out there!
The Roadcrew is an airsoft group based in West Michigan. We are a casual group who also play with other local groups as time permits. This review is intended for new and intermediate players, to give them another perspective along with a good dose of weird humor on airsoft gear and tactics.
