Grown Men & Nerf Guns? Competitive Foam Blasting In Singapore | On The Red Dot | Full Episode

You might think of foam blasting as children’s Nerf games, but in Singapore, many adults gather every week to battle it out with their fancy blaster toys.
Rozz joins one of the games and is immediately struck by how these toys fire at impressive speed and power. She discovers it is quite an engineering feat to achieve such velocity, according to a blaster designer. After playing with a predominantly male hobbyist crowd, Rozz finally meets some female fans at a family game: enthused mothers who stick to playing with children. What keeps the females fans from joining the advanced game crowd? Can Rozz convince them to form an all-female team to compete against the experienced male enthusiasts?

Most laws only regulate what blasters are put on store shelves. The Aussies are known for having some of the most insane FPS games despite that fact that they're on shelf blasters are literally weaker (known as grey trigger variants) to meet a Jule based regulation.

If you ask me, airsoft arenas should be legal in Singapore. As in, you can only use them inside the arenas, but you can't own them privately for safety issues(and also so you can't go about robbing places). Not only that, I think that gun ranges should also be legal in Singapore for the populace rather than just limited to the rich as hell donors in the Singapore Rifle Association. Again, not advocating for private ownership of guns, just sayin' folks should be able to experience it properly in a controlled and regulated location.

Airsoft will be more challenging but sadly due to Singapore's strict firearms regulations, we can only settle for Nerf.😮‍💨 Hope authorities can seriously reconsider lightening the regulations on Airsoft, so even those who had already MR and miss the NS days still can reminisce the trill of Chiong-sua, teamwork and brotherhood in a game of Airsoft.

overall good video always nice to have more eyes on the hobby. my only gripe with this is the whole "oh why isnt their more women in the sport/hobby" thing. sure its a minor thing overall but not everything needs to have a crap ton of women in it. let women and men enjoy their own things but dont disallow women (or men) from joining. let it be natural. I'm all for women playing but this is a more physically engaging activity and on average that is a turn off so if they want to join then that should be by their interest and not by some outside or semi outside group trying to make a statement for "muh representation". that and the "but which is more powerful" of springer vs flywheel/motorized. both can reach the same level of performance but this is extremely minor.

@scottjs5207 9 ай бұрын

I don't think that was the intent with this video to push the modern take on inclusion. This seemed like a very old school, "we can't let the boys have all the fun" type of mindset. That's why the one mother was likely included because she very much broke the stereotype being the influence for her sons into Nerfing.

@melntess 4 ай бұрын

If you find enjoyment doing this, by all means, join in. There isnt any male advantage in Nerf like there is in most other sports. You can see how much the other women enjoyed it! Kudos to Erika for the run. She figured it out. It's about speed and tactics. If she had some support, it would've worked. I applaud the host for participating, but she was quite obviously out of shape and was happy to just camp and snipe. I guarantee you that if she just let go and used a flywheel and ran around, she'd have more fun.

basically its all just a copy of tournament paintball without the firearms license nonsense... so sad to have Malaysia be the best developing country for tournament paintball in SEA

@RevBDes 4 ай бұрын

What is the firearm license nonsense? In my opinion, paintball, airsoft, and nerf are _very_ different from one another. Each one has a difference in fire rate, FPS, ammunition capacity, accuracy, and a few other smaller characteristics like popular arena setup. Nerf has the best accuracy, but the lowest fire rate and FPS. Paintball and Airsoft have the highest FPS, but paintball has less fire rate, accuracy, and ammunition capacity than airsoft. In my opinion, Nerf requires the most strength and sometimes skill (for priming heavy springs and landing precise single shots due to the rarity of automatic blasters), but is usually played more casually and is harder to get into due to less people being involved.
