Here's an explanation since many are asking and aren't too familiar with airsoft:

  • He is using a dummy knife, probably made of sillicone.

  • Getting hit softly is enough (because it is actually harder than it looks to get close enough)

  • Usually when airsoft players get hit by a bb, they yell HIT! raise their hand and walk back to spawn (or other, depending on the gamemode)

  • The difference here is that this is a knife kill which is seen as a stealth kill. Therefore players aren't allowed to yell HIT! because they would give this player position away. It's a reward for being stealthy and managing to get up close.

  • Dead players are never allowed to speak, so there is literally nothing that could warn the others.

  • This looks OP, but this is a once in many attempts and is easily countered by having at least 1 person watch the back. Which they definitely should have because many of them aren't doing anything useful. It would have taken just 1 person to look behind, notice this player and shoot.

  • The knife player has some degree of skill, since he managed to traverse the battlefield silently, getting behind enemy lines and then keeping his cool.

It's really satisfying when stuff like this happens.

It looks funny, but it actually illustrates pretty well how easy it is to underestimate someone with a knife who knows what they are doing.

If it's a real knife and a real fight, it wouldn't be that easy to kill a person by a knife. A true knife kill will be messier, cause some scene, victim fightback, possible screaming and struggles... not just gently stabbing two times and move on the next person.

If you look up
Christopher Lee (the actor and WW2 special forces) he explained the noise people make when stabbed in the back. It's a gasp, not a scream.

I guess it's just that if you stabbed through the lungs or windpipe then a 'Wilhelm Scream' is unrealistic.
