the airsoft is a game of consent part of the argument people are making is ridiculous. Your consent and willingness to be shot only extends to the live field of play DURING a game, between game whistles. Standing around waiting for a game to start and being lit up from behind is not an action that there was consent given.

I don't stand in a safezone or a parking lot expecting to be shot. I don't stand around the spawn before the game having a gunfight with someone, least of which expect to be lit the fuck up while I'm minding my own business.

You can argue this aspect if this happened during a live game, then you could argue the kid was overshot, but the fact this asshat put up the video and outright admitted it was an intentional action makes this a premeditated assault.
