The story of "Cobalt" team
This is a story about oldest airsoft team of our city, let me entroduce the "Cobalt".
This is to hard to find any man who is not feel anything when he look at gun. All of us eventime were a boys. All of us very liked to play war with a toy guns, and a lot of us very like to play any computer games like CS Battlefield and etc. But now ve have a great alternave to computer games, thats adrenalin u can get in reality. It's name Airsoft, or strikeball..
If a building becomes architecture, then it is art
Strikeball is a team tactic game where u take an almost real gun and going to shoot your enemy.
U have real amunation and that game is very close to real war, but u shoot 6mm balls.

"According to legend, airsoft was born in Japan after World War II. Japan, as a defeated country
has not an army, but they decided to train with electrical guns. A lot of people liked this idea
and millitary training became a hobby."

Well, when i firstly heard about this passion i wanted to try, and i had to find the same people.
I found them very soon, because I have a collegue who is too long in the subject. He told me about city airsoft team and invited me to try.

But lets start the story, the begining of our airsoft team started in 2013, when 4 people firstly heard about thats unusual passion and bought the electrical gun, but initially, no one had an idea of how and what to do, but read on the Internet, watched videos on youtube. Gradually, an understanding of how the airsoft team should look.
As a team Cobalt formed, probably, by 2016. This is normal, someone comes, someone leaves, and the best remain. This is a hobby, a game of like-minded people, a game of friends. Moreover, people of completely different professions: teachers, engineers, machine operators, taxi drivers, nuclear scientists, policeman, and we have 3 soldiers in our team.
Imp, now he is one of leaders our team
Hard and strong, he controls the troops with an iron hand. In usual times, he dilutes the team with a sparkling sense of humor.

Axe, once young, now one of the most experienced team members. Often takes control of the detachment itself. He is very hot, ready to rush into battle with only a knife !!!.
Gagarin, a man with ease wielding both a knife and a sniper rifle. Prefers a single fight. Rumor has it that wears an incredible big weapon !!!!;).

Three now have a contract in the Armed Forces. There are also a couple of people who have been to "hot spots" in the North Caucasus. But in general it doesn't matter if the person was good!.
The Cobalt team uses the collective image of the MVD fighters, which are now the Rosguard. Something like the TsNS Vityaz and the like - Kalashnikov assault rifles, Lynx and Altan helmets, the same camouflage and unloading sistems.
