# About
Hello!
The airsoft group I play with never seems to have enough whistles (we usually only had one), and I wanted one that I could share with other players. These could act as game or emergency whistles if need be. I only had a few criteria:
- _Easy to Blow_ (little back pressure)
- _Loud + Good Sound Signature_ (little hissing, wasted air, and is consistent tone/behavior from mid to high volume)
- _Simple + Small_ (minimalistic)
- _Durable + Hole_ (for Paracord)
- _Easy to Print_ (no supports, little material, & high success rate)
## Whistle Designs
Besides the criteria above, I wanted two whistle designs:
- Simple & Small Emergency Whistle (_S1_)
- Oscillating Game Whistle ("we-yu-we-yu-we-yu") (_D2_)
I really wanted a small whistle that could be printed in mass numbers. That was my first priority. This would allow me to more easily print more whistles (faster & cheaper) to share them with more people. I figured this would also make it a better event whistle. The second whistle would have an oscillating…
