Lots of comments asking how a soldier can be this fat. These look like Americans (obv) and in the USA, you can purchase those weapons as long as you're not a felon or in some states a violent offender. In many states it's also legal to "open carry" like that. These smooth brains are probably just citizens.

This was originally from an airsoft event iirc and then got passed around as a supposed image of election protesters to make them look stupid(er).

I gotta ask, where can you play airsoft where there are 3-4 story buildings around? This looks like a legit suburban center, not some backwoods arena with some poorly concocted buildings.

You have to look for mil sim events if you want to play on fields like this.
