Periodically we will be highlighting players and teams that catch our attention because of their play style or uniqueness in the Sport of Airsoft. Today's team is The Pink Rangers located out of the San Francisco Bay area of California.
So let's start this out by telling a little bit of general information about the team.
The team was created in fall of 2014, The PinkRangers is an all girls airsoft team in the bay area of California. We currently have four members, with ages ranging from 17-24. Our home field is ARC
airsoft, but we play at all fields in California, most frequently ARC, GamepodCombatzone, and Fort Ord. The team was founded on the idea that girls can kick
ass while maintaining our femininity.
So "Boss" (Aldina), how did you all come together as a team?
I had been playing airsoft for a
few months and really liked the idea of an all girls team, and I know all of
the girls either from school, or through friends, and they all expressed an
interest in the team so I just kind of group messaged them all like “hey what’s
up you want to do an all girls airsoft team with me?” and they all said heck
yeah and it’s worked out pretty well. We actually have recruitment procedures
from now on though.
What reactions do you get from other teams?
It’s all been really positive;
mostly guys at fields are astounded to see so many girls, and girls are like oh
hi more girls to kick ass with.
Do guys take it easy on you?
I think 1/3 of the guys we play
take it easy on us, 1/3 go harder on us because we are girls, and then the
other 1/3 just keeping playing normally.
How do guys handle it when a bunch of girls kick their butts?
We’ve never had a guy or team of
guys get mad at us, in fact we’ve had a lot of hand shakes and congrats from people
we’ve killed or beat.
How did you come up with the Team Name?
I wanted something girly for the
Team but not overly girly, so I just kind of brainstormed and came up with it.
Other options were The She-Wolves, and Vixen Airsoft.
What about your call-signs how did they come about?
 |
| Anarchy |
When we gave each other call-signs, we kind of picked ones that were easy to say, and remember. We also
picked them so that they actually had something to do with the person. Hence,
I’m Boss cause I’m team leader. Red because Tanya is strawberry blond. Anarchy
because she’s crazy and her cat is named anarchy. And Blaze because she’s a
redhead and can have feistiness to her.
What are your recruitment requirements?
- Multicams
- Your own Airsoft Rifle
- A good Attitude
- Willingness to Kick Ass and Take Names
- Be a girl (we’ve actually had guys ask to join knowing we are girls only)
