Airsoft as a sport

[darkshark]

i airsoft all the time, im actually part of Team Syphon at the vallejo airsoft arena, i have a lorcin well G3, with red dot laser scope, and laser projectile mount, 450 round clip, 410 fps with 12 gram bbs and 345 fps with 20 grams, then i have 2 G-18 gas powered pistols with 4 spare high capacity clips, 50 rounds each, 360fps with 20 gram bbs all of them are fully automatic of course , thats right, this chick is packin' lol

I have a Tokyo Marui M4A1 and I love it. I'm thinking about getting an AUG that Classic Army just put onto the market.

[Sniper911]

I believe airsoft and paintball are simillar. a bb gun just got no paint thats all.

[darkshark]

no, paint = expensive.....airsoft = not.....lol, and ya tokyo marui's are very nice, i like the m4a1 too, i was thinking about getting the P90, its only like $400 and fires 20 rounds a sec at close to 400 fps, need something to replace my G3, its getting worn out.

[FluorescentArmy]

Sniper. If you get me a decent avatar. I will remove it.

Hey Mal check this out: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/cost

I believe at the bottom it has costed, or perhaps I am mistaken?

I still used it in the wrong tense, but oh well. I would have had to change it to: it only had a purchase price of $150 for me.

[SethSquall]

Tis my gun. Well I say its mine its not. Its my older brothers. My older bro lets me borrow it sometimes. Its a nice gun. Batterys abit crap though.

I play ever now and then. When I used to play every week, we liked to draw names from a hat and whoever gets there name drawn has to make it on his own for 5 minutes in just a face mask, shorts and T- shirt. I had mine drawn once. It was hell.

[sertman]

That's a FAMAS (lol rainbow six 3)... nice gun

Paintballs may be expensive, but it's fun to go to a paintball field and just play all day

Sure you can do that with airsoft, right

oh wait

nope

[emccky]

oh wait, yes you can

theres 2 airsoft close quarter combat fields around my house. 15$ waiver field fee.

[sertman]

Yeah, but nobody plays airsoft around here. There are a million paintball fields, but no airsoft fields.

How the hell can you tell if you get shot by an airsoft gun?

[emccky]

hear, see, feel.

people aren't bitches like in paintball. If they get shot, they call it. And, chances are they are getting shot by about 20 bb's in the span of .5 seconds, so they won't have anytime to react any other way then yelling HIT. Honestly, if you are trying to act like you didnt get hit, it's impossible.

[FluorescentArmy]

BB's are a noticable annoyance. As in paintball you have 3 inches of **** all around you and you dont know when you get hit. I've seen it. Airsoft however, the way me and my friends play, we dont wear anything and just shoot each other. When you get hit and you dont know it it sorta hurts.

Oh and sniper I changed my avatar.

[sertman]

The problem with airsoft is that it doesn't feel like a game, a sport, a whatever you want to call it. The guns are almost too real, the ammo is almost too real. It feels more like war than a game.

Paintball is so unrealistic that it feels like a sport/game. It's more fun, mainly because you don't feel like a soldier in combat. You're just shooting.

[natetheffrer]

I play paintball in t-shirt and shorts, it hurts like a bitch but its better than setting on fire, and yes it is expensive, but my dad pays for everything, and its not like a play every day, so hes not spending $50 a week.

I have a spyder avant.

My brother and I used to own airsoft guns. I was wearing glasses, and my brother broke them while I was wearing them (take a guess) and my mom threw it away. I hid mine, but it got jammed. My brother hid his too, except he brought it once to a church retreat and got it confiscated from our youth paster. He promised he'll give it back to him, but he never did.

I like to play airsoft, except that the chances of my parents buying me an airsoft gun is low. If I do get an airsoft gun, I would probably get (my dream gun) a real-life sized, auto Chicago typewriter.

I agree airsoft IS a war, a bit apart from as a sport. I think its more of a hobby or a simulator.

AKA a thompson SMG right? Those look sweet!
Good luck on trying to get your dream gun. (get one from tokyo marui)

[Sniper911]

The world of airsoft..... IS WAR!
Almost realistic guns shooting plastic pellets.
Upgrades to customize the bb gun
Re enanactments made possible because it is just like war!
RPGs, grenades, everything! Its war when you play airsoft!

ive looked into the thompsons, they actually kinda suck, 30 round standard mag and only a 75 round extended mag, not very impressive =/
