Rummbolt shows you how to use a Bluetooth headset for a wireless connection to your PMR radio, avoiding tangles on your gear... "Good communications is one of the key factors for your success as a team in airsoft. The most important tool for staying in contact with your mates on longer distances is the handheld radio, usually combined with a push to talk unit and a headset, so you don't give away your position when receiving a call.
If you are putting together your comms for use in a milsim event, check this video by Verage Airsoft showing his setup for you to get an idea or two for yours... "Communication is important but finding the system that works is not easy with all the different systems out there.
That is why I created this video to go over the full setup:
Airsoft Cesar discusses an important aspect of teamwork in airsoft --- comms. He covers basic to advanced setups. He recommends Midland G7 radios for beginners, noting their simplicity but also the fragility of their PTT systems. For more advanced users, Baufeng UV5R and R152 radios are suggested, with the latter offering more power.
CY Wang conducts a blindfolded shooting test comparing the 3M ComTac VII (C7) and the Ops-Core AMP NFMI tactical headsets. The test aims to assess the headphones' sound localization and spatial positioning abilities in a combat-like scenario. Tactical headphones suppress loud noises and enhance subtle sounds for better situational awareness. Participants were blindfolded and disoriented before locating and shooting targets. The 3M ComTac VII won, but the Ops-Core AMP performed closely.
Lock N Load Radio talk about the Zohan Walkie Talkie from Pro Hear that can be found on Amazon.com. The ZOHAN RH07 Walkie Talkie Adapter is designed to transform Walker's hearing protection earmuffs into wireless communication headsets, eliminating the need to shout on the shooting range. Unlike Walker's Razor Walkie Talkie, the RH07 features a user-friendly design with spring clips and an integrated microphone, ensuring easy and secure installation.
Blue Jean Operator shows his low-cost tactical comms setup... "Historically, active hearing protection with the ability to run comms has been an expensive affair with headsets costing $700 - $1200.
While these military style headsets are nice, do you really need to spend that much money to run a basic Baofeng radio? No, you do not.
Spiritus Systems feature the MPU5 radio and what it promises to deliver in the field of tactical communications... "In this video Adam is joined by Kyle from Persistent Systems to talk about the MPU5 Radio and the Wave Relay Network. We've gotten a lot of questions about "the radio with three antennas" and this video is a good introduction to what Persistent Systems has to offer."
Cannon Flannel posted a video on basic radio communications for airsoft players when they plan to use radio for coordination in a game. Roger! Roger!... "Comms are a great tool to up your chances on airsoft games and on milsim events. I’m gonna go over 3 tiers of setups and give you a basic rundown of how to setup your radio after you buy it."
Well, what is covered here are some comms that the Russian soldiers are even using in Ukraine. Tactical Dads Airsoft talk about affordable 2-way radios made by Baofeng which affordable radios that airsoft players use in milsim events.
