Born from a love of sport and friendship in one of the most beautiful regions of Turkey, this team has grown into an active community that brings together people through tactics, teamwork, and of course, fun.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1530\" data-end=\"1943\">It\u2019s a story that began with a simple message between friends and evolved into one of the region\u2019s most organized and active teams. Fair play, safety, and creative scenarios are non-negotiables for them. <strong data-start=\"1734\" data-end=\"1751\">Karia Airsoft<\/strong> plays every second Sunday, usually in forested areas, and prefers long, <strong data-start=\"1824\" data-end=\"1840\">milsim-style<\/strong> missions. Their scenarios include technological devices, multiple objectives, and lots of imagination.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1945\" data-end=\"1998\">The team\u2019s motto is clear: <strong data-start=\"1972\" data-end=\"1998\">\u201cWe are here for fun.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2000\" data-end=\"2162\">In the interview below, you\u2019ll learn more about the heart of this unique group, its fun-loving members, and why they\u2019re so well-loved in the Aegean airsoft scene.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<hr \/>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"text-align: center;\" data-start=\"150\" data-end=\"585\"><strong data-start=\"150\" data-end=\"192\">1. When and how was your team founded?<\/strong><br data-start=\"192\" data-end=\"195\" \/>It all started when a friend sent me a picture of an airsoft gun. Since 2010, I had been buying airsoft guns, but I couldn\u2019t convince anyone to form a team. I had just sold my G&amp;G AR15 and bought a PCP rifle. When that message came, I said, \u201cOkay, let\u2019s play.\u201d As new friends joined, we came up with the name: <strong data-start=\"505\" data-end=\"522\">KARIA AIRSOFT<\/strong>, to show that our doors are open to everyone on the peninsula.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"text-align: center;\" data-start=\"587\" data-end=\"668\"><strong data-start=\"587\" data-end=\"640\">2. How many active members do you currently have?<\/strong><br data-start=\"640\" data-end=\"643\" \/>Around 35 active members.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"text-align: center;\" data-start=\"670\" data-end=\"926\"><strong data-start=\"670\" data-end=\"718\">3. What is your team\u2019s philosophy or vision?<\/strong><br data-start=\"718\" data-end=\"721\" \/>Since the founding members are old friends, our philosophy is to have fun and enjoy time together. Like our first season patch says: \u201cWe are here for fun.\u201d But that doesn\u2019t mean we don\u2019t care about losing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"text-align: center;\" data-start=\"928\" data-end=\"1062\"><strong data-start=\"928\" data-end=\"998\">4. How do you organize your games? Do you have a regular schedule?<\/strong><br data-start=\"998\" data-end=\"1001\" \/>Depending on the weather, we try to play every second Sunday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"text-align: center;\" data-start=\"1064\" data-end=\"1302\"><strong data-start=\"1064\" data-end=\"1139\">5. What kind of scenarios do you prefer? (e.g., milsim, skirmish, etc.)<\/strong><br data-start=\"1139\" data-end=\"1142\" \/>We usually prefer milsim scenarios that last at least 4 hours. We include multiple objectives and use electronic or analog devices to keep the excitement alive.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"text-align: center;\" data-start=\"1304\" data-end=\"1481\"><strong data-start=\"1304\" data-end=\"1347\">6. What kind of gear do you mostly use?<\/strong><br data-start=\"1347\" data-end=\"1350\" \/>Mainly assault-type equipment. Snipers tend to get bored in our terrain, and the legal engagement distances are usually not enough.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"text-align: center;\" data-start=\"1483\" data-end=\"1632\"><strong data-start=\"1483\" data-end=\"1543\">7. Are there any special requirements to join your team?<\/strong><br data-start=\"1543\" data-end=\"1546\" \/>Yes. Be honest, play fair, attend at least 2 games, and pay the annual membership fee.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"One Man Show Airsoft in Bodrum\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GzuFHzxvIRY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"text-align: center;\" data-start=\"1634\" data-end=\"1883\"><strong data-start=\"1634\" data-end=\"1709\">8. Have you participated in international events or organized your own?<\/strong><br data-start=\"1709\" data-end=\"1712\" \/>Unfortunately, no. But a former member of ours attended Berget twice. Three years ago, we organized our own event with camping \u2014 it was tough but led to great friendships.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"text-align: center;\" data-start=\"1885\" data-end=\"2050\"><strong data-start=\"1885\" data-end=\"1930\">9. How do you handle safety during games?<\/strong><br data-start=\"1930\" data-end=\"1933\" \/>Safety is our top priority. Eye protection is especially important. We don\u2019t play night games in dangerous CQB areas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"text-align: center;\" data-start=\"2052\" data-end=\"2218\"><strong data-start=\"2052\" data-end=\"2108\">10. What are the biggest challenges your team faces?<\/strong><br data-start=\"2108\" data-end=\"2111\" \/>Finding a proper field. There\u2019s no CQB site nearby, and Bodrum\u2019s growth makes it harder to find new places.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"text-align: center;\" data-start=\"2220\" data-end=\"2415\"><strong data-start=\"2220\" data-end=\"2282\">11. How do you view the airsoft community in Turkey today?<\/strong><br data-start=\"2282\" data-end=\"2285\" \/>It\u2019s growing. New teams are forming, more national events are happening, and even international players are joining our games now<\/p>\n<p>[supsystic-gallery id=&#8217;11&#8217;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"text-align: center;\" data-start=\"2417\" data-end=\"2717\"><strong data-start=\"2417\" data-end=\"2507\">12. Do you collaborate with other teams? Do you have good relations with nearby teams?<\/strong><br data-start=\"2507\" data-end=\"2510\" \/>Yes. With friends from Izmir and Antalya, we formed \u201cCamptical Inc.\u201d with teams like Antalya Airsoft and UMT Izmir \u2014 they\u2019re our brother teams. We also maintain good relations with other teams across Turkey.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"text-align: center;\" data-start=\"2719\" data-end=\"2865\"><strong data-start=\"2719\" data-end=\"2796\">13. Do you have a fixed training field or use different places each time?<\/strong><br data-start=\"2796\" data-end=\"2799\" \/>We have two fields, both in forested areas \u2014 one main, one backup.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"text-align: center;\" data-start=\"2867\" data-end=\"3047\"><strong data-start=\"2867\" data-end=\"2936\">14. Is there a special memory or team member you\u2019d like to share?<\/strong><br data-start=\"2936\" data-end=\"2939\" \/>Every year we hold a \u201cseniors vs. youngsters\u201d match. Of course, the seniors always win \u2014 and we laugh a lot.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Airsoft Pump Action Shotgun m870 Gameplay\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0gzLW56moJs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"text-align: center;\" data-start=\"3049\" data-end=\"3180\"><strong data-start=\"3049\" data-end=\"3102\">15.

If you had the chance, would you join an event in Greece?<\/strong><br data-start=\"3247\" data-end=\"3250\" \/>Yes. But transporting airsoft guns and customs issues make it hard. I\u2019m trying to find a solution with the authorities. We want to go to Kos Island.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"text-align: center;\" data-start=\"3400\" data-end=\"3579\"><strong data-start=\"3400\" data-end=\"3462\">17.

Who is the best sniper in your team?<\/strong><br data-start=\"3713\" data-end=\"3716\" \/>Turhan, who comes from Marmaris for every game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"text-align: center;\" data-start=\"3765\" data-end=\"3877\"><strong data-start=\"3765\" data-end=\"3809\">20. Who gets lost the most during games?<\/strong><br data-start=\"3809\" data-end=\"3812\" \/>Everyone has gotten lost once or twice, but probably me the most.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"text-align: center;\" data-start=\"4205\" data-end=\"4343\"><em data-start=\"4317\" data-end=\"4343\">The forest is a mystery.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Karia Tactical Airsoft - Obruk TDM\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ViycMKZvVJ4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"text-align: center;\" data-start=\"3879\" data-end=\"3950\"><strong data-start=\"3879\" data-end=\"3929\">21.
