Playing Night Games Is Fun And Airsoft Gun Torches Are Dispensable For Cqb
Night games are popular. Unlike partying or playing video games, here you get to participate physically. Moreover, there is camaraderie as well as risk and thrill of outwitting the enemy or shooting a target. For a few moments, you feel like a real commando. The most exhilarating games are those played in the dark. Along with physical activity, one needs to use mental capabilities too to do well in popular airsoft based games.
Medic is one such popular team game usually played in the dark. The medic is central to the game and needs to move fast in the dark to revive “downed” players and he is the target of the opposition as well. If he is hit he cannot be revived. Carrying a torch is essential for spotting the opposition and “downing” them. Team Deathmatch is another popular airsoft game as is Capture the Flag. Close quarter battle or combat is just as popular and is played indoors or outdoors in wooded areas with handguns and gun torches.
Close quarter battle (CQB)
Close quarter battle emphasises personal skills as well as team play and players usually outfit themselves ...
... with guns with a maximum rating of 350 fps. Apart from gun, other main requirements are a torch and a red glow stick with tracer rounds and thunder bees as optionals. Night vision devices, smokes and sniper rifles are not permitted in CQB games but a torch, as one can see, is essential. Apart from the gun, an airsoft gun torch is a prime accessory for players of such games.
Torches
Torches or tactical lights are absolutely essential for night games and you can pick LED based lights or lasers to illuminate targets and find your way about. Gun mounted torches are a prime requirement for these games, and you can pick from a variety of tactical lights suitable for fitting on pistols, rifles or carbines. It is important for the bream of light to be focused and bright enough to acquire targets with speed in dark conditions and also leave your hands free to work the rifle or pistol. The torch also needs to be rugged, made of alloy and a rear mounted toggle switch for ease of operation.
The amount of light the torch emits is also important. The normal illumination level is 300 lumens but higher-powered versions may emit 400 lumens. Advanced torches may incorporate front lens element that can be positioned to narrow or widen the beam of light. Additionally, a laser may be incorporated along with high-powered LED. A more advanced 500 lumen CREE LED based torch may have a quick detach grip, laser included and a cover to prevent accidental activation or a twist type switch at the rear to keep the torch switched on. Apart from being compact and lightweight while emitting a powerful beam of light, the torch needs to be ergonomic for quick operation. Since one is operating in the dark, each type of control should preferably be of different shape to be identifiable by touch.
A gun by itself is useless if you cannot see and acquire the target in the dark. Lasers are useful up to a point but because of the small spot of light and the camouflage the opposition wears, it may take some time for you to recognise a target by which time you may have become a target. A torch is indispensable in CQB situations where you sense movement, activate the torch with the flick of a finger, acquire the target and shoot to have a confirmed “kill”. There is no time to hesitate or fumble. You are as good as dead if you have a torch that does not respond or fails at a crucial moment.
If you love to play night games and engage in CQB, you must outfit yourself with a full kit including camouflage, guns and holsters. Do not forget a torch that fits right below the gun. Pick the right size and type and you are better equipped than the “enemy”. Your chances of scoring hits increase. Your team depends on you and you depend on the torch.
