Camping: A general airsoft definition of camping would be staying in one place, or hiding untill an unaware enemy wanders by and you shoot him/her from a concealed position.


I started CALS because I am tired of people saying camping is stupid and getting mad at inncocent campers.

Even though I don't often take part in this 'strategy,' I believe that everyone has the right to camp. If you agree and want to join CALS or just want to suport CALS you can...

A. Make a sig with atleast one tent in the picture and a person (or people) the person can be doing what ever you want him/her to be doing but it has to be airsoft or camping related and the person has to be wearing bdus doesn matter what scheme

or B. Put something sayin you support CALS or that you are a member of CALS in you signiture.

There are many different ways to camp you can be the more hiding (scared of getting shot camper) or you can be the camp the flag/base and not go and hunt down the enemy or the enemy flag.

a camper generally stays near an objective if there is a flag a camper will have a position to view the flag but no one else will be able to see the camper. the great thing about camping is even if you have a lesser gun you can take out people with guns a million times better than your own. because all it takes is one good shot.

a well trained camper can find spots all over in thick bushes, rooms with only one or 2 doors, under cars, under or behind logs, and sometimes in the most obvious places like a big box near the flag.

now it is possible to camp in death matches or team death matches but it is slightly different because you don't lose if the enemy completes some objective. so if there is a flow spot that people like to go to, find a good spot to camp from and you want to face the way people will be moving and place your camping spot near a solid object like a big wall but make sure you have an escape route. in a dm/tdm the way you want to camp is wait until someone walks or runs by hold your fire until you know you can hit them and make sure your aim is good especially if you are out gunned.

the best armament for camping is a gas pistol they are small and easy to move around and aim through small spots. also having a pistol for camping is good because you can run to a camping spot faster than you could with a rifle. (Make sure when you run to a spot to control your breath while camping hard breathing can often expose your location!) if you are not a very good shot try getting an auto pistol like many of the kwa g series or a compact aeg : ,mp5k, uzi, or any of the new tm compact smgs.

I will think up more tactics soon.

Of course camping is a legit strategy, but IMO, should only be used situationally. That being said, it isn't the greatest tactic. You should only stay in the same spot if you absolutely need to be there.
Then again, I am a more offensive player, so I prefer to be always moving.
To each their own I suppose.
