Gunteams

Gunteams is a plural term used to describe organized groups that coordinate firearms-related activities. The usage spans real-world sport and hobby contexts—such as airsoft, paintball, and historical reenactment—as well as fictional or online communities where players or fans form teams that emphasize firearms-themed play or branding. There is no single universal organization called Gunteams; the term is descriptive rather than formal.

In airsoft and paintball, gunteams are teams that select and standardize equipment, develop tactics, and train together. They compete in tournaments and leagues, and may schedule drills, scrimmages, and team-building events. In historical reenactment or living-history groups, "gun teams" might refer to units that portray muskets, rifles, or artillery crews, aligning with period-appropriate gear and drill.

In video games and online media, gunteams can refer to clans or squads that specialize in gun-based mechanics, share common strategies, and coordinate with sponsors or community groups. Such teams may use monikers or branding around firearms themes but operate within the rules of the platform or game.

Organizationally, gunteams range from informal friend groups to formally registered clubs, often supported by equipment vendors, sponsors, or leagues. Safety is a primary concern in physical activities, with protective gear, event rules, and age or eligibility requirements governing participation.
