Playing an Airsoft Game using the Honor System means that the players have to rely on everyone being completely honest once a hit is made.

The Honor System is vital when playing an Airsoft game. Since Airsoft pellets do not give evidence or leave a visible mark when a player is hit, the honor system must be fully obeyed. Of course is is not only up to the person being hit to be truthful. A player who has witnessed the hit can also verify a hit. Even the person doing the shooting can determine his own hits. The Honor System is there for when uncertain occasions arise. For example, it is possible for a person to be hit and not feel anything. This can be tricky and is usually then judged by witnesses and the shooter. Players are usually deterred from calling their own hits. With this said, All Airsoft gamers are expected to admit being hit, even if unsure. They can make this known by shouting out "I'm Hit" while raising their hand or gun high into the air. All Airsoft gamers must refrain from shooting a player who has already admitted to being shot. Keep all these rules in mind at your next Airsoft game and you'll be keeping true to the Airsoft Honor System.
