Muzzle Awareness

One thing I see all the time (and I'm not exaggerating to say 'all the time') at airsoft ops is people who have no concept of where their muzzle is pointing. If one of the key rules of firearm safety is that we don't point at our weapon at anything we don't want to kill or destroy, well then a lot of destroying would be happening in the parking lot of the ops I often attend.

This video gives you some insight into why muzzle awareness is vital. Of course in real steel, it's important to know that where your optic is looking might not be the same as where your muzzle is pointing. But in airsoft, that might mean shooting a wall or a bunker or a tree instead of at the opfor. And if you are using airsoft as a training tool for real steel - well, I think it's clear that you need to train like you mean it. Check out this short vid.
