Before we start explaining what airsoft really is, we would like to say a few things about GoB.
First of all, we are an airsoft team excisting of dutch and german players. We are still searching for new players to enlargen our team.
Are you interested in joining us? Please post a message on the forum, or go to the Contact page and send us an e-mail!
People from every country are welcome as long as they speak German, Dutch, Italian or English. Language is of course important to communicate so do you speak one of the languages mentioned above then you are welcome to join our team.
GoB has some different locations to play. In Belgium and in Germany we know some good places where we try to go as much as possible. Now we still go skirm with other teams but when our team has become larger we can also go with the team alone. We are an enthousiastic team and we try to have as much fun as possible and to play as much as possible! So if you have some airsoft equipment and want to join our team just mail us! (info´at´gangofbrothers.com)
We allow all airsoft guns unless they shoot as hard as a real gun (Don’t think so  ). So snipers, rifles and every other gun like an M4 are allowed in our team. We have our own team-clothes which you can ask us to get for you but your own outfit is of course also ok.
We also have Patches to attach to our jacket on our right arm. (The Patch can be seen on this site if you go to Gallery and then look at the galleries there are and click on Other Pictures you will see our patch)
So this was enough information about us. Still can’t get enough of us and want more information? Go to Contact page or send an e-mail to info'at'gangofbrothers.com

Now something about the game itself.
Before you continue exploring our site we would like to give an explanation of what the AIRSOFT Community is all about.
In general, you could compare Airsoft to paintball. (Since paintball is more common than Airsoft this may ring a bell with people who don’t know our sport) However there are two very important differences between these two sports:
First of all, the guns used in the Airsoft game are 1:1 replica’s of the real guns, whilst paintball guns have their own design, and do not match a real gun in appearance or size. This is the main advantage, there’s a big diversity in Airsoft guns that you are able to use, from the basic handgun to the Support Weapon. This fact brings us to the disadvantage of Airsoft. Since it’s very difficult to tell which gun is a real one and which one’s to play Airsoft with, in most country’s the Gun Law, Gun Bill or Gun Act applies to the Airsoft guns as well. So you’d better check what laws apply to Airsoft in your country before getting involved with this sport. Therefore transport of the guns from our homes to the skirmish sites happens in boxes or bags. Low profile is advised.
The consequence of the high realism is that Airsoft, even more than paintball, is being looked at as Military Simulation.
Secondly, there’s the ammo: Airsoft guns fire 6mm balls (called BBs). They come in different weights and materials, depending on their purpose. The heavier BBs, which are more effective over longer ranges, are for sniper use (e.g. 0.4 g Teflon coated BB’s, but the standard weights are 0.20 or 0.25g. Since a hit doesn’t leave any visual trace, as it does in paintball, unless it’s from close range  .
Fair play and team spirit are necessary requirements for a good Airsofter. Games are always played in teams.
The game itself can be played in various ways (indoor, outdoor, defense, offense, recon, search and destroy, last man standing, capture the flag,etc) and the possibilities are unlimited. If you’re hit in a game, you return to the safe zone with your gun above your head. This way the remaining players can clearly see that you’re “dead”. Once arrived there you either have to wait for the next game or you can reenter the game depending on the rules of the game. Never remove your protective mask while returning to the safety zone! Someone could think you’re still alive and fire some BB’s in your direction.
Finally one more important advice for all wants to be Air-softers. The hardest thing is to find a suitable location; therefore you should make sure this is settled before you spend your money on a gun and gear, either by finding some terrain yourself or by joining an existing team who have a Skirmish Site.
