NOVRITSCH - TACTICAL biggest pros of airsoft
NOVRITSCH - TACTICAL airsoft in publick
Prices of good guns and bad guns
Is airsoft in public safe?
NOVRITSCH - TACTICAL how much do you upgrade and what does it cost! Also customisation.
For me, the only bad thing about playing Airsoft is NOT being able to play...
same, fields are far away
Alessandro Feijo I feel so bad for y'all
Im in straya
In Malaysia no Airsoft Vry sad
I am still to young and it sucks, need to wait 2 more years, but then, my friend and I are going to start
I think as a beginner it's all about the costs
True!
der NaruTo yup
Yes. You can easily spend 400-600 USD on gear just to get started.
@@SwitchingRooskies yea but most Hobbies arent cheap at start
@@SwitchingRooskies I spent as much starting airsoft as i did when i started bouldering
I think most players don't that much to prepare though. People stuff all their gear in 1 bag. After playing they leave it in there until the next play day. Wash clothes in between (which everybody does anyway, I hope). We have to prepare all our damn cameras. Make sure they are all sighted in still (bumping around wacks them out of alignment sometimes). Clear SD cards. Charge powerbanks and then make sure everything works. Granted a lot of people also tech on their guns and even without teching they break down on the field. It's not the easiest sport to do but it's worth it because it's the coolest sport.
I don't even remember how it would be without cameras anymore. You're switching guns quite often, how much time do you spend on them? I suppose most of them don't work properly when you get them?
@@airsoft-explained-novritsch Most of them need some cleaning and sighting in. Making all the mounts seperately for every gun is quite an undertaking. Takes atleast a full day or 2 to get everything working properly and prepare. Then a day of playing and praying everything worked and then I just wash my clothes and leave the rest in the bag. I haven't played without cameras for atleast 4 years.
Silo Entertainment - you should try running an ex- demo gun which eats batteries and stays together for about 90 mins . Then I’m down to my MK 23 for the rest of the day🤨🤯(ps love your vids👍)
... and having my new gun stuck at the shop for 2months until it reopens🤞🤞🙄
Yo Nov , ...
Long time player here, I started airsoft in 2000. Been in sniping role/sharpshooter role for around 10+ years.
I had never been a fan on "airsoft celebrities" , or products endorsed by them before.
Mostly because, for the longest run of them, one month said "youtube personality" would say, oh yes buy this gun, it's what I use, the KWA M4 Tacticool 2 . The next month, Oh I just got the straight pull SRS boo-galoo special edition, it's the best of the best, once you spend another 1000 dollars upgrading it.
Some we've had in the USA here, you see the content they make, you think hey these guys are cool, then you meet them or play with or against them in real life , same place, and find out what you see isn't how they really are.
Before the ssg10 , I can't stress how many years I asked why don't companies just make an out of the box bolt rifle that's any good, already upgraded ?
You did though. I'm impressed, and I'm not all that easy to impress because I've been around a long time, seen to much to not be jaded to a lot of things in our hobby.
I don't have the ssg10 yet. But gonna pick one up soon.
As far as community goes, yeah there's loads of haters out there.
But we should all be focusing more on supporting each other , because without people to play, it'd be rather boring hobby/sport right?
Keep up the good work, please.
Have you bought it yet? If so is it as good as everyone is saying?
@@tylerbelin8356 no, i have not. I have injured my back again, and won't be able to do much for half a year. So not spending on hobby stuff I can't do ATM.
Anthony Frailey thank you, and I hope you get better!
Yes, one of my biggest problems except lack of games. So much airsoft gear, weapons that dosent even work.
Much airsoft reveiws channels on youtube are very disshonest. I have bought many 100-400 euro products that breaks whithin a week. Ads to the problem how addicting it can be to keep buying new stuff.
The phrase "do you know airsoft?" ... no... "Paintball? well airsoft is similar but better" ... damn i so relate to that! it reached my soul haha!
What bothers me with airsoft is how other airsoft players Bash other airsoft players by what brand they like. Its bad enough we gotta fight the world with this now we fight each other like how you guys said it at the end of this video. It's when people take airsoft to seriously and not have fun with it anymore and get tunnel vision. Airsoft can be anything and anything can be airsoft. Swamp sniper is proof of this. With his zombie and cowboy videos. And every brand of airsoft is good. Nothing is a bad brand. If you bash certain brand you are basically bashing them all and basically bashing airsoft as a whole in my opinion. We as airsofters need to be more unified and not hate on each other. That pisses me off. Sorry for the rant. But it's TRUE. Its bullshit. And f$#@ing unnecessary. I've done airsoft since the days of spring pistols were big and the introduction of aeg guns. I've seen it all in my 12 years or so of airsofting.
Sorry again for the rant that frickin triggers me real bad. We need to be more accepting and more open to new ideas and ways of airsoft. Milsim speedsoft rifleman sniper. Whatever it is we need to be more helpful with one another and strengthen the "spirit of airsoft " if you will.
..... yeah I better stop with this rant lol
Here in Arizona there's tons of people that has goofy loadout but will show you up. I lm that type of player who loves being intimidated because all I could do is embarrass you lol
But aye Dusty, we need more ppl like you
you are absolutly correct, i wont make fun of someone for using UKARMS, its just that i know that the gun wont last long.
wow this is very good i agree but if your just messing around like i play with a bunch of friends and we kind argue a little about what airsoft brand is the best but we aren't super ticked off by them using different brands
@@the-wisconsin-farmer giving close friends crap is one thing. Completely throwing hate on someone is uncalled for. Airsoft is escapism, therapeutic from reality. Away to chill with buds you haven't seen in weeks months or years. It what connects us people. Especially with people we don't normally connect with outside of airsoft. The community is stronger then any community from let's say football to target shooting. I've never seen a community so strong and enjoying a hobby such as this in my entire life. Airsoft is the only and ultimately the best hobby to get into. You can do be or create anything you want airsoft to be. It's even potentially life changing in many ways. So to see more people being unified and having fun and helping others along the way makes me more dam passionate about this hobby then ever before. One of the many life decisions I'm glad I made was to get into airsoft.
The fact that in many countries, despite airsoft being a popular sport for years, it's still not an officially "legal" sport, due to gray zones in the countries' legislation.
Exactly, that is a big part of the airsoft popularity not being far greater than it is. In my country you need a special permit from the ministry if you want to import an airsoft gun. Sure there are shops that do that but the choice is so miserable compared to the US that I get depressed. Airsoft will achieve a new level when countries around the world actually start looking at it as a sport.
Airsoft is the most beautiful bottomless moneypit out there.. its just fascinating, the one day I'm 100% convinced I have everything I need and one day later I'm buying oakley glasses for 300$... not talking about the new p* kythera coming out... it never ends
true, it never ends.
Last time i was early he has no beard and mustache
Im being serious.
Ah, the good days when he sold only 1 rifle and 1 pistol. And he was known only as Novritsch.
@@Ricky-ce3jo What is he know as now?
@@themixer5029 Chris
I am also bothered by the lack of scientific information there is available for airsoft. I think it would absolutely awesome if you guys (especially your engineers) would make some well prepared videos about how airsoft guns work, what's essential for upgrading, why a part behaves better or worse. I'm thinking about cylinder-barrel-ratio for example. You most certainly have the capacities to compare different ratios in terms of accuracy, power etc.. This is something I'm very interested in and would like to know, but cannot buy all the equipment to test it. Like a series of mythbusting and giving proper explanations.
You should talk about convincing beginners not to buy all this gear before trying out airsoft. After a year of playing, I now know the gear I ACTUALLY need for a typical 20 minute game and it’s 20% of what I bought at the beginning
When yall were talking about explaining your job and hobbies, I laughed my ass off. Really recognizable to explain a hobby to someone I don't know.
Airsoft is Pleasure ! I Dont see negative side :D as a sniper I can just wear shoes, camouflage, glasses and gun. At the beginning I need everything but thanks to experience I learn what is necessary... it is Good quality product - Tadaaa 🎉 thx Chris ;)
04:52 I belive that cheaters are found in a balance between "how much pain I can withstand" and "how much I want to keep playing". Shots fired from a sniper 30m away are spicy. You don't get cheaters getting shot at 30-50m with a sniper because it hurts too much. In my field here in Spain we have a 2-shot rule, where only torso and headshots count for a kill (two shots for the torso, one for the head, legs and arms don't count). We barely have cheaters, and that's because the enemy keeps firing merciless in order to get at least two shots at the enemy... people rather shout "hit" than withstand 3-6 leg shots... It is a rule I made up and so far it's proven to be effective, and we've been playing for 10 years now.
I quit playing airsoft about 4 years ago. Mainly because it was a waste of money. I spent hundred, probably thousands of dollars to just play a few hours during sundays
That’s a huge issue that’s off putting for me. Here in my family, we can’t spend much at all, and my entire list goes up to about £270, including 2 guns and gear. But a huge issue is the nearest field is about an hour away, and it’s about £34 to go. I doubt I’ll be going much, so I’m stuck between thinking if it’s a waste of money or not
@@David-ds4mt distance was a huge problem for me too. For me, the nearest field was about an hour and a half away. It was super fun while I played, but I don't play anymore. Sometimes I miss it, but I rather sleep, play online, play guitar or be with my family during weekends
One thing I hate- Get up at 8am, get to field at 10am don't start playing until 1pm, then take an hour between each game. Then its time to go. Lots of places operate like that in US. Spend more time in the pits than on the field.
Christoph the Warlord xDDD nice Video guys, keep it up!
Worst thing is the divide in airsoft between speed soft and milsim we cant we all just like both
I'm apart of a speedqb team but started on milsim. A lot of it comes down to one is more fast paced and the other is slower but. But then again here in aus pretty much everyone gets along here as far as I know
Airsoft preperation is hard but its worth it !
Totally worth it.
Imagine having bright Sponsor logos on your ghillie
FeRsSeRkeR ...with a strobe effect🤣
The thumbnail looks like you are high, on lSD, 7 years sleep deprived, and 60 unfinished essays are due tomorrow
Are you ok?
yes everything's fine
NOVRITSCH - TACTICAL lmao love your vids dude 😂
For another debate, could be the quality of gear. What do you guys think it is enough level for gear quality for regular players, that goes to 3 events / year for 72 hours each, and twice a month for Sunday play. What are your opinions on NVGs? Is any of you using NVGs? Which kind? Why?
you are so right....there is an evolution in airsoft. You start out light...then you start to gear up...you change roles...your guns and gear change. then you finally figure out that you dont need all this stuff hanging off you and you start to lighten up. i did the same thing as a sniper. I went from a huge L96 now Im down to 2 go to guns..my striker and my srs. but during this evolution i have amassed a very unique armory. I do have an M4 but I havent used it in 2 years after abandoning the DM role.
the traveling problem only applies to certian people i live 20 minutes from my closes feild and i can play 8 hours a day not alot of preparing is needed depending where you live
Hey Novritsch, I’ve been watching you since you had 1 million subs; I have subscribed to all three of your channels, you are my favourite RUclipsr and I love your videos, they are fireeee🔥🔥🔥🔥. I own an ssp1 and an ssg10, they are the best guns ever. I hope you have a great day
Thanks for the support. I really appreciate it! :)
Takes me 30 minutes to prepare my kit the day before. I don't need the 3000 cameras on me.
Finally some smart comment)
Problem with wasting money and time is the problem of people, not airsoft))
lol, im actually saving up money to buy the 3000$ pvs14 night vision when i couldve gotten a car. my first milsim experience lacked something and it was definetly nightvision, i was trippin and fallin during night patrols. lol
Novritsch, please make a video about what you think about Speedsofters and the Speedsoft culture.
@11:28 THIS! THANK YOU. As a very logic based person, doing research on guns for what I want to buy or to suggest to someone, this is infuriating. My friend's AEG ate itself and he asked me for a suggestion on what would be good replacement since I usually do a lot of research on whatever I want to buy. I spent DAYS digging through looking for more and more information about different AEGs at different price ranges for him. At the end of the day I came up with; "wellllll.. these big name players (youtubers) use these... soo I'm assuming that they have to be good right out of the box."
Maybe if I had the funding I would do something like that myself, but like mentioned during this part of the video, there just really isn't the funding/interest to make that a worthwhile venture. As well, I'm also new to Airsoft, in fact it was Watching Novritsch and Silo's videos that first got me interested alongside stories from my friend who used to play when he was a kid. So it's not like I really have the resources or the history with airsoft to have the comprehensive knowledge needed.
I know someone else mentioned in the comments here about wanting to see a series from some techs about how/why things work. I would love to see this. I would love to be able to really jump into teching on my gun, but since its currently the only one I own, outside of a EliteForce 1911 tac (who doesn't own one at this point?) I don't want to ruin the only access I have to sport. Eventually the Coronavirus will be settled down enough that we'll be allowed to play again, and I don't want to be without my AEG when that comes. My problem with some of the videos about Shimming and upgrades that are currently on youtube, is either they're not voiced or they're kinda low quality and don't really explain WHAT they're doing or WHY they're doing it. Just that they are. Sure, common sense tells me that properly shimming my gears means that I'll have less wear and tear on my gears plus a more responsive and effecient gearbox.. But what else does that do for me? Or show me the before and after of a good tech session on a gun and show the difference in performance. These just don't seem to exist for Airsoft and its easily been one of the most frustrating things for me getting into the sport.
I love your humor and laugh Novritsch
What are your views on the ‘bang bang’ rule? At my outdoor field they completely removed it, but at my indoor field they are very strict on safety kills within 2 meters.
I haven't played airsoft since I was a kid, but I don't understand this rule. We used to shoot each other pretty much point blank with 330fps guns and it was fine. With thick clothing you don't even get bad marks on your skin. Is shooting at close range with light plastic pellets really an issue?
@@boiledelephant it’s because a lot of people don’t wear think clothes bc it can get to hot
i've been playing for 3 years and only have one upgraded hi capa
13:05 here we see novritsch doing the big *think* for a solid few seconds and making the SSF15. Can't wait for final release!
When are the upgrades for the magazines for the SSG 10 A2 coming out . On your website it said by mid-march and they're still nothing there.
Lol chill. The world is going to shit right now
The locality of the sport... I have to travel in excess of 3 hours to play. worth every bit of it though. Oh and thank you, your videos inspired me to get back into the sport after 7 long years.
Bem me pareceu que a havia mais do que uma cara conhecida no video.
Boa sorte na tua nova carreira :)
A lot of people have stuff where they don’t feel getting hit, they think it’s friendly fire, or they want to make sure someone else is out
Good video and so true
For me the worst about airsoft is the quality the stock guns are shipped in. Even if you pay a lot of money for "top tier" guns you still often need to put a lot of work into it until things are properly sealed. And i dont even want to mention the quality control or fitment! Aftermarketparts sepcially designed for that gun and still you need file some stuff off...just makes me mad how they abuse the small market like that
i have 3 and thats enough, m14 dmr, simple m4 for fun and cqb for the rainy days or for a friend if he wants to tag along and a g17 sidearm for my dmr build. I have no clue what all these people want with 5 +?
MTB Downhill was like this 10/15 years ago. Keep promoting the sport and you will get there. It's not about competition is about having fun. Just received my first airsoft ever (SSP18). Amazing shooting until the Mag was almost frozen and gas was pissing all over the place with ice built up on the Mag seal. Maybe you consider adding my input to the academy. Otherwise with .32 BBs piercing a Wieselburger can from ~10 meters was not an issue. (I am a pacifist and have a clear distinction between a GUN and a Marker)
Worst thing about airsoft ? ‘Celebrity’ airsofters who started out started out great but then bought in to there own popularity and turn in to right up there own arse big heads .
Nice!
I think its fun to prepare en clean its part of the hobby
What bothers me is not having enough fields or players.
Bro pls do more ssp1 it's my favorite thing you make and thanks for keeping me entertained
could someone help me what kind of suppressor can i buy to a cyma cm.121 deagle?
Those lights on the wall behind novritsch look like huge airsoft bullets
One of the biggest cons in airsoft is stocks on certain items like discontinued parts like Troy's trx handguard there is a bitxh to find and especially the rail pieces as there really old and there not being made anymore
Novritsch is there a possibility of having a sales outlet for your products for the Philippine market?
In 2 years I have bought 5 guns. 1911 handgun, H8R revolver, MP5 SD6, SCAR-H, and a UMP gas blowback. Saving for a sniper rifle so I have a weapon for every situation.
I dont really mind cheaters, i might get irritated but will just shoot some more. What I dont like is people that bash on others for making misstakes or just for being new/less “skilled”.
Hey man keep up the good work like if you love novritsch
There was a time where I had no less than *SEVEN FUCKIN' GUNS* with me when I went to play airsoft coz I couldn't quite decide or simply wasn't sure which ones to use for the day. I had a wooden crate on 2 wheels with a removable drawbar to tow it behind me. In it were 2 KWA Glock19s, a KWC Desert Eagle, a Galaxy MP5K, a GHK G5, a KJW M700P and an A&K M60. Some of the stuff needed to run those guns was scattered inbetween them and strapped to the lid of that crate was a bag with all my gear. I'm guessing that the weight of the crate with all the stuff in and on it easily exceeded the 40 kilo mark. The guns by themselves already weighed more than 14 kilos in total, then another 5 or so for the stuff needed to run them, my gear was somewhere around 10 and then the craste itself, made from pine wood planks with a thickness of 18 mm and all the hardware on it, probably weighing another 15 kilos.
How I managed to not forget anything of all the crap I had to transport to and from the airsoft field is anyone's guess, now that I have trouble overseeing the stuff I need to take with me with just 2 guns I use of the field.
any update on the SSR 15?
Most of my friends really only got one or two guns, like one AR and one Sniper. Most of them only buy new stuff when something breaks. And yea.. then there is me :D
One of the worst thing is that you have none of the critical spare parts on stock...
If there's one thing I absolutely despise it's the milsim vs speedsoft the debate. I also hate how what speeds doctors are often called cheaters because the they have polar stars or or high cabins with hair triggers in all this other stuff to circumvent the no full auto rules in CQB arenas. That's how it's being safe is speed talk to the police style or you run around with the the last step you can have and traded to the objective as fast as possible and shooting everyone along the way.
i know what you mean about buying guns..i have 10 pistols including my new SSE18, 4 aeg, 2 bolt snipers and 2 shotguns.....im already planning my ssx23 and ssg10 purchases lol..cant stop buying lol
Solution is local indoor fields ..we have siege here in Toronto and you can drop in for 1 - 5 hours during the week ..on the days that there open ..even longer on weekends ..you get ur fix for sure untill you get to go outdoors...Damn this Corona ..
Would love to play and so is my 2 kuds, but its the cost
Personally i just go to my brother's grandparents because they own some land an play with a group of friends. We typically play capture the flag or TDM some times FFA
2 Meter safety 😂
🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃
They are living together
One thing that somewhat bothers me is that i kinda wish that stuff was more streamlined. What i mean by that is, Lets say i bought a Cyma plat, and did not like the aluminum upper/lower receivers, or handguard, i wish i could just easily buy one online, and just use it. Dunno if im that weird, but i just like when airsoft gun actually feels right not like a super light toy gun. Basicly that you could more easily modify the outside of the gun to your hearts content. Right now as far as im aware there are small differences where not every AR15 is the same and fitting different outter parts for it from other brands may prove difficult.
I have found that all the guns are crap when you buy them but you can make them nice 👍🏻 if you put the right parts into them. Finding the right parts is a whole other beast ! This coming from an automation mechanic so take it with a grain of salt 😜
Novritsch looks high af in the thumbnail lol
please talk about what spring and bbs to use on that spring(ssg10) if i live in america
Trimeric Silver It depends on the field I bought 2 the m220 with the gun and a m160
And use novritschs 0.46 gram bio BBS from his website
It's essencial to go to Forums to evaluate wich gun is good and wich not. Everybody said, the ICS BLE is exeptionally good. So i bought aaaand it was shit. It rattles like an half full Hi-Cap mag and if you didn't use Red Gas or stronger, it wouldn't feed after the thirt shot ect. Than everyone said WE is Shit, now i hav an G18c and an AK PMC from this Brand and im impressed from the build quality and it worked out to be fairly reliable...
Do you have a dlq333 sniper by any chance

@@airsoft-explained-novritsch i am watching you from 3 years and my single desire is to meet you and maybe play a airsoft game 😉
Gun and money? I get the gun but like...
Worst thing is manufacturer's. There is no such thing as quality internals and externals in one gun, unless you want to pay £2000 +
okay, have to say, funny to hear other perspectives on firearms and airsoft. I open carry my 357 around town and no one bat's an eye here(insert American joke?). have never thought how something like airsoft could be seen as someone being dangerous lol
Dean's connectors!!!
I literally filmed a podcast about this last night lmaooo
Epic
Just my two cents... You should get a boom pole and get that mic closer so there's less echo! Also the contrast is way to high and it looks a little odd color wise.
I only play airsoft once or twice in a year, the thing that pisses me off about airsoft is when you buy a gun for $600 Canadian it doesn’t perform accordingly to what it says on the box so I’m waiting for you to make a gun like M4 base or somewhat like it.
There should be more bio bbs and should be mandatory for outdoor fields.
they also should be made and sold for cheaper
I bought a SSP it took a very long time to get I really enjoyed the gun but all of my CO2 mags leak and my front sight went missing I dislike leakey mags and sights that fall off
I just have two ways to play airsoft. Stealth and aggressive play. In stealth i have ssx23 and sniper rifle and on aggressive i have M4 and ssp1. And no more
2:30 just bought a new M4 an M1911 and an Acetec tracer xD
Goodbye Love
Goodbye Couch
Goodbye Money!
novritsch what is your first airsoft gun????
The Money aspect is a thing with EVERY Hobby.... Airsoft is not just sport, it is also a Hobby.
You take apart the guns out of fun.
You tune the guns out of fun.
You Train to use those guns tacticaly.
And once you are enthusiastic about something you will get into it bigtime
The same thing with shoes, Motorbikes, bicycle, Cars and more
Thats just how humans work and how companys get their profit

TOP 1 AIRSOFT PROBLEM!!
***BUDGET***
yo whats
What what??? 😂
Bruh, I carry a massive shit ton of stuff at all times to any Milsim. I frequently have to loan out guns and safety gear to people all the damn time.
BUT for day games? I have guns for outdoor fields, and indoor. I only have 2 types of guns ready to play at the moment. Shit that takes a stanag, and AK's. And like, if I really want to lazy soft I'll just bring like..m a single high Cap. And just have fun going lightweight. My rig has stayed the same for 4 years. Only thing I do ocasionally is swap out the mag pouches for diffrent colors and camo's like. Once a year. This year is UCP and it's a ranger green carrier meme. But I still have the cheap little condor in atacs FG from my first vest buy ever in 2015. Little tiny chest rig is for the more accurate guns that I don't need to carry as many mags with. Combine it with a duty belt that Carry's the dump pouch, first aid kit, and if necessary Radio. And BOOM it works well enough for me playing medic or anything that's halfway accurate at 200ft
Yes very epic
how tf is paintball so much more popular than this?

As an Australian the worst thing about airsoft is the fact that it’s illegal in my country....
The absolute worst is foggy glasses
This is why I Play CQB
i hate the fact that everyone gets so pissed ya know
The masks just disappeared...
airoft waists time also due to engagement distances. tere is more walking around than actually fighting. thus tournament paintball being much more eficient.
Tactical airsoft? (Milsim style) or weekend skirmish?....
There.is a topic.
