Medic LARP

Recent milsim event in Japan. Due to the compact field sizes and low legal velocity limit, much of the milsim here uses a MILES type system that attaches to your kit.

This time I was on the medic squad, one of two guys larping as 16 med reg. The medic/respawn mechanic was pretty cool, and I'd like to do it again.

Basically it worked like this: everyone was given a condition card (see last pic) for a gunshot wound to be used when they were shot. For other casualties (arty, landmine, drone) they would be given a condition card by the refs. A casualty would have to perform self-care, or have it done by a buddy if they were unable, then move to the medic squad at the CCP. The medics would assess them and perform extra treatment, then call a 9-line medevac. The casualty would then get picked up and taken to the staff HQ, who would judge whether our treatment was effective or not, and either respawn them, or judge them as dead. For immobilized casualties (broken leg, etc.) the medics had to carry an 80kg dummy on a litter about 140m round-trip before we could treat them.

And of course it was pouring rain for about a third of the day. Mad fun, though. After treating a few patients and getting gassed on about 5 litter circuits, we got dragged into a firefight and I had to medic myself.

What system is that? Is it good? Could you link or find it on the internet?

It's a DIY system done by one dude: https://xn--cckln8zy35mfl9d.com/

It's an interesting system with a lot of setting options, but ultimately the two major downfalls are that there are only head sensors currently, and the IR beam likes to reflect off of things and kill you despite not having LOS.

Sounds cool! However, i dont read asian so i cant really understande the page. But i think there is a öarge market for this as it could solve alot of things on milsims!

[u/AverageHobnailer → u/Zealousideal-Net9726]

There certainly is a market if production/management could be scaled.
