If you're in Alberta you already have access to some of the best airsoft in Canada. The issue you'll mostly run into is what I'd call "specialty groups". 80% of airsoft seems to be one variant or another of "modern warfare style". So here's the issue; most people consider that demographic to be the "except everyone" group. So if you're a part of a specialty group like Vietnam interest/reinactors, etc then that's great and all, as long as you have some numbers. If I went to a WWII game wearing a Halo outfit, Vietnam garb, or whatever I'd kind of feel like a goof. For some reason though people don't feel that way showing up to a modern warfare event dressed like Lara Croft or like they're about to invade Poland. I went to an event once that was about 150 strong. Everyone was dressed up for a modern warfare style event except one guy, whom was carrying a 4-5 foot broadsword. Really!? If you're are a part of a group that is that off the chain then you likely won't find enough like-minded players to play with. So you outsource to the mainstream stuff (modern warfare style), and invade their games. You wouldn't dream of dropping into a WWII game dressed like the Master Chief, so why is it okay to do it to a modern warfare game? So when these events start having gear requirements or kit restrictions they are called elitist assholes.
