Just a short reaction for your email and some notes.
AIRSOFT is one type of spare-time activities or else one type of training the warriors in the army. (Sometimes some regural used to practice with us too.) So everything is realistic, the only one difference is that the guns use a non-metallic pellets the so called BB. So when you wrote this: "even if they would allow the registered guns to be used for this" I had to answer that these arent a registered guns, but the absolutely similar ones; for example my MP5 looks like a realistic gun just launches a BB. No need to worry about a lot of guns at the residents, bcz these launch only a BB. Perhaps the problem can be the widespread knowledges about fighting, but as I know this is a fact in Nepal. So we had better worry about not to let these combatants go to the gangland.
In a game the needed number of the organizers are about 10% of the participants, they look after the correct style of the war-game. (If more than 10%, its no probs.) Some games are played by some hundreds participants. Guns: we buy them from China, almost all of us in Hungary. Nepal is closer to this country, it will be cheaper component … or else why dont try to make an own factory? If its a good business for China and has costumers from Europe too, it will be a good business to Nepal too. Of course all the project needs a good PR, and the finding of the special components of Nepal which make a cause for ppl to come here. (For example 1.real warriors are the organizers, swamp-hill-river opportunities.)
So, the exwarriors can work as an organizers of the games, can work in the factories but staying close to their earlier life-subject or any other part of the project. Furthermore they can play it too as a therapy, I think it helps them to transform the experiences, behaviour and attitude of mind into a healthy „kshatriya-system".

ps.: I put some pics on my profile - for a few days I'll keep them there-, so you can see some arms and protections of the body. (perhaps you dont think, but footwear is a really important component of this life; I learnt it on my own leg :D)
last but not least: I'd like to give an exposition about my motivation on this subject, what will be such as a personal invocation to ancestry at the same time. In my country, after the II.WW the situation was the similar to present Nepal. My grandfather was a warrior in the "Hunyadi panzer regiment", which tried to secure the german countermarch and was in the firing-line from Russia to Germany. So they were an extremely hard defenders but not other bad ppl, the name of this armoured troop sounds good in our days too. My grandpa was captured only at the last station, in Germany and was a prisoner of war in a soviet lager. Here he had time for other than fight, so he got acquainted with the theory of communism on closer examination. When he came back to Hungary, became a little part of the comm. party in the countryside and was respect from outsiders too. (I think this because the villagers protected his life and all his family (mine) from criminal offenders, those who were set free at 1956.) But my grandpa wasnt able to adapt himself to a normal civil life again, moreover this problem made wrong the family's life too. [ ... and as i know it wasnt easy to be his companion or child ... speaking for myself i was his favourite grandchildren :) . ... for example in my childhood if I wanted to sledge around the village in the summertime :) he trailed my sled and me :D. He liked kids and their funny ideas too :). ... ] So coming back to my subject, I dont like to make any classification among different types of combatants but it will be my gladness if these my efforts will be a helping hand for anyone. Furthermore this work will be the sign of my reverence to my Grandpa. Peace in remembrance of my Grandpa.
Hi Kristin,
Its sounds a new idea for a post war country like nepal, and especially, when the country has so much 'need' of cash. However, there are some problems. For the Maoists, they dont have anything to amuse the tourists with. Some guns is what they have as registered. However, if they use their big sophisticated arms for the sake of amusing the tourists, they would need to expose it, which they would not do now atleast. And even if they would allow the registered guns to be used for this, why would the govt. need so much of army for this amusement?
Best,
Balkrishna

Hi Sujit,i read your recent article and i have a good idea for this problem, just no time to collect my thoughts in English if its not needed. You wrote:Then question arises "How to Manage Maoists militia". It is a genuine question and ha to be resolved wisely. There can be rehabilitation programs to consume them in mainstream, they can be given vocational trainings to make them competent to earn their bread and butter, the authority in Nepal should take a bold step in creating job opportunities which will not only lower the burden of Government but also will help in economic revolution.My answer is military tourism; bcz one who have a gun once, wont do simple job. If you are really interested in it, i will explain this or else just search on the net for: airsoft. I do this sport too a little, just for the first hand experiences about this side of the life.Or else perhaps there is an ongoing project, than I'm really interested in the solution.Kristin
