TKOverKill

Inviting all interested hardcore airsofters to a park for open FPS games. every friday night from late winter until next early winter.
crawl like a real sniper.

And if you get caught by the police in a public area with a weapon over the legal limit of 0.98 joules you will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law under the Japanese sword and firearms act.

People that play at such events are retards, the exact same people that got the Japanese Law makers to sit up and actually change the law.

I suggest anyone affiliated with TK Overkill avoids such games.

Actually I've been -told- (not 1st hand info too) that those guys have an agreement with the local police. I dunno how solid that is will currently reserve my comments until someone can give me more info. About playing though, I'm gonna be in Hong Kong most of next year anyway so would probably just play there.

To be honest I don't beleive a word of it, the law is the law regardless. They might have permission to play there but with no FPS restriction would require authorisation from the lower house.

Its about acting smart as well. The UK had a near miss with the VCR bill and the US is currently bouncing ideas around of the same view, all it would take is some one to walk through the park and be mistaken as a player and all hell will break lose, lets see if the local Koban will back up the claim then.

Echigoya had the same kind of deal over near Disney Land..... I was actually at the game with Pstok another member of Arnies when around 20 policemen turned up and took us down the local station all our guns where taken and checked. Needless to say Echigoya changed thier venue from a public park in the middle of nowhere to private land.

gentlemen we are fully aware of Japan's rules and laws. ramifications of such actions would mean unimaginable consequences. for our invitation comes with no harm as reiteratedly written, it is for hardcore airsofters.

we have been playing at this site for over 2 years and it has been granted to us by some local authorities but it could only go so far. the game starts at 12midnight im sure you would understand why. people who have been playing at this site knows all the consequences that goes with it. it is truly play at your own risk. we have prefered that this game should only be exclusive to brazilians and other foreigners to avoid leakage.

our location is in the countryside and you may not believe but leniency is practiced in some occasions. ever since ive started playing out here never have we heard of someone getting fully punished for not following the legal limmit. i think that would go for the whole japan but thats just me and if you have more information of such incident i would be all ears.

there are no marshal no fees. only the team leaders have the responsibility for keeping the peace.

again we are just inviting those who are open minded enough for there is such an exhilerating game in japan. thank you in advance for keeping this information to yourselves and disregarding the authorities.

more information will be given to those who are interested. thank you very much for your time reading this.

So, let me get this straight...

- You play without rules or limits whatsoever.
- You don't care about what injury your weapons will cause at close range.
Have you ever seen something like this happen to any of your players? Well I have. It isn't nice.

- You play at night increasing the risk of such injuries.
- You break the law knowingly.
- You encourage other people to do the same.

I enjoy higher velocity games, but that is on two premises;

1:It has to be legal. It isn't "cool" to break the law, if you think so I suggest you grow up. This is ESPECIALLY important in the airsoft hobby which deals with real-looking firearms and equipment. It is people like you who will eventually make the entire hobby illegal.

2: There has to be strict rules, for safety distances and other aspects. These rules in turn have to be enforced by a strong game supervision. If you want to go out and shoot other people bloody, go to a real war and see how fun it is.

I know I'm not alone in turning my back against people who do these kind of games. Not only do you give the airsoft hobby a bad reputation; since you are all foreigners you will give foreigners a bad reputation as well. What do you think will happen when (not if; WHEN) you get caught? Don't expect to be able stay in Japan much longer.

And no, your games are not for hardcore airsofters. They are for juvenile people who think that breaking the law is cool but have no idea of the consequences of their actions.

All, everyone is entitled to their own opinions, however please keep responses to a less confrontational tone.

Ok as some of you know I work with the police from time to time and what I have posted is fact not opinion.

Guns that are over the 0.98 Joule rate are illegal: Fact
Guns found to fire over the new regulation will be prosecuted under the Japanese sword and fire arms act: Fact...see below!

Quote:Airsoft guns subject to the revision are those with pellets measuring at least six millimetres in diameter and can penetrate an aluminium can when fired from a distance of one meter. Those found in possession of such weapons are subject to a prison sentence of up to one year or a fine of up to 300,000 yen.

Look at how they test it.....with a coke can....you might want to take a legal gun and try it out on one....you'll be surprised that it WILL go through! So you might want to think about this, because I will put money on it your local Koban police officer won't have a clue what he's doing and you'll end up down the station.

Playing Airsoft in a public place is illegal: Fact
You will be prosecuted under anti-social behaviour in a public place laws, thats if they don't shot you first for brandishing a weapon!

Are site organisers asked to report illegal/hot guns to the police: Yes! Apparently according to a Sergeant in the Riot Police that i work with, you have a +20 fps margin over the 0.98 rule. The guy below was reported at the "All STARS" field out near Atsugi City

Quote:On March 20, the Metropolitan Police Department sent papers to prosecutors on a 28-year-old man of Kanagawa Prefecture on suspicion of possessing two remodelled airsoft guns.

Now we are all pretty much visitors to this country, and these are the laws of the land. Owning a gun over 0.98 Joule is illegal and we all know this.....yes it sucks but its there because people got hurt...in fact killed by Airsoft replicas that have been modified and by reckless use.

So openly admitting that they are breaking the law and DON'T have permission to play in a public park is just asking for trouble.

To be honest I don't think this is something you should allow to be advertised here on the forums as it seems you are endorsing and promoting such activities.

We have a moral obligation to be ambassadors for the sport, which includes educating people on the legal issues of the sport as well.

At the end of the day, those wishing to play it’s your visa that’s on the line, and also your clean record. But remember this will go on your record as a “Gun/Firearm’s”. Which will pretty much prevent you from entering any country or visa.

i think we have heard enough skepticsm and ive already explained myself clear enough there is nothing more i can say about this. thank you for your comments and i would like to apologize any nuisance i have cost you. its been interesting reading your comments.

I'm referring to the generalisation and branding of people as the opinions stated, not the joule limits which I'm sure everyone here knows the legal limits in Japan.

Hereafter I'm locking this thread.
