SANDMEN Airsoft Club - Hand Signals

Airsoft is a strategy game. Players develop plans and strategies to defeat the opposing team, with organized attacks or playing a very good defense tactics. In many cases, they will have to approach the opponent without getting noticed and in some cases in radio silent. But what happens when you have to talk to your team without being heard?
