  • MilSim, an abbreviation of military simulation, refers to live-acted simulation of armed conflict scenarios conducted by civilians for entertainment, sporting or nostalgic purposes. It has been described as both a form of "extreme sport" and as historical reenactment. MilSim includes activities that strive to provide an experience of combat, simulate battlefield missions, or replicate military service-style training. The training is simulated because participants engage in mock scenarios and do not actually engage in real conflicts or use real weaponry. There are several forms of MilSim: physical shooting sports (e.g. airsoft, paintball, or laser tag) with an emphasis on realism based on military scenarios and team tactics; historical reenactment of famous battles; stylistic imitations of a specific military era or focus, such as cosplaying; and military-themed e-sports (e.g. video games). Airsoft guns are used commonly in MilSim due to their cosmetic realism, satisfactory external ballistics, compatibility with genuine firearm accessories, and inexpensive ammunition. Alternatively, mock weapons which fire blanks and blank guns may be used to add immersion in events such as MilSim West. Gel ball blasters are also used by MilSim players who live in countries where airsoft guns are either restricted or banned by law. Events can span between historical or imaginary battles, law enforcement-style CQC engagements, or freestyle urban/jungle warfare-themed light infantry skirmishes. Large events usually have rigid requirements for entry, and can last several days without leaving the playfield. The experience often includes camping, food preparation, transportation, and other military logistics. MilSim differs from the sports of airsoft or paintball - though all rely on tactics and marksmanship, MilSim has a focus on authenticity to real-world military doctrines. There are often fireteams with designated roles, such as simulated combat medics and support gunners. Loosely originating in Japan in the 1980s, MilSim events are now bolstered by an active Internet scene. An American presenter, MSATO, claims that MilSim is the "fastest-growing extreme sport worldwide." The largest events can attract thousands of attendees, though players must often source their own equipment, such as specific uniforms, radios, and weapons. Attendees are diverse, consisting of hobbyists, military veterans, or enthusiasts as young as 13. In the United Kingdom, airsoft organizers run in conjunction with Live Action Role-Players (LARP) at British Army training facilities, such as Copehill Down and Catterick Garrison. Elsewhere, combat stages are often salvaged from abandoned buildings and private woodland. Many of the larger playfields are leased to ROTC groups or civilian first-responders for their own simulation training. (en)

Elle tient son origine des anciennes civilisations grecques, ce terme fut employé à une époque où les enfants de la garde royale s'entrainaient à imiter les soldats sous une forme de jeux qu'ils appelaient Militum Simulatio. Le terme Milsim est aussi utilisé pour décrire certaines formes de jeux représentant la reproduction de films de guerre ou exercices tactiques lors de joutes de paintball ou airsoft Milsim. * Portail des jeux * Portail du sport * Portail de l’histoire militaire (fr)
  • MilSim (ang. military simulation) – termin oznaczający symulacje działań wojskowych organizowane przez osoby cywilne jako forma rekreacji w terenie. Najbardziej rozpowszechnione w Polsce formy milsimu to rozszerzone odmiany rozgrywek paintballa leśnego i airsoftu. Podczas ich rozgrywania używa się replik broni, najczęściej Air Soft Gun lub (rzadziej) broni do paintball-a czy LaserTaga (szczególnie w krajach, gdzie prawo zabrania użycia replik airsoftowych).
