This Saturday I took part in a local IDPA style airsoft event. Basically running against the clock and shooting at targets in pre-established drills, but with airsoft pistols. Because of that and being known to the organizers I was able to take some interesting pics, exploiting my newly acquired Samyang 8mm Fish-eye:

the guy in the last picture needs to practice some more trigger discipline. His finger is still partly on the trigger as he's waving it about. The gun is also close to, if not over, the safety line (usually 90 degrees to each side).

But nice pictures! smile

Doesn't look like he's on the trigger atall. His finger is well out of the cage.

I used to shoot IDPA stock service revolver (and I'm getting back into it at some point in the not too distant future) and this is exactly what the matches look like. Interesting.

Yes, the match organizer is actually a local LEO and IDPA SO and he's really passionate about this stuff. And the premises and most of the logistics were property of the local IDPA Romania startup. We just didn't use their actual firing range since for airsoft you don't need the same safety backdrops and all.

In Romania firearms are pretty much restricted to MIL / LEO so if this competition would have been a Real Steel one, the costs for renting firearms would have added for everyone.
