    Re: Airsoft as a sport

    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.

      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.

        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.

          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 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.
              That must be a FAMAS! and is a nice gun!
              good luck man!

                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)

                    The world of airsoft..... IS WAR!

                          LMAO out loud i went on a an airsofting day out where there was about 200 of us and we were all taking it seriously/playing tactically.. but towards the end of the day.. that's so true, because everyone knows bb guns aint real guns and after a certain distance the "bb" vears off in an other direction. So everyone thinks they can get away with saying **** like it ****ing missed!!! you never hit me nub.. Paintballing is much better! you get that adrenline factor that you dont with airsofting!!!

                          even if arsofting is more "realistic" and erm.. "army" like..

                            There is no paint so if it hit someone that someone can easily lie to you.....
                            Always have a judge when playing airsoft or else you might get a overkill...

                              they do have judges.. or "marshalls" not sure what they call themselves, was 8-9 months ago when i last went, but even they cant say when some guy has shot some other guy all the time. take me for example, especially in a big game area like i was in. i was in this warehouse leaning around a corner.. or a slightly ajared door and i could see about 10 odd opfor, i hit god knows how many of them, but because they couldnt see me, they just pretended they never got hit!

                              they shold use real bullet in airsofting, that'd make it all more interesting

                              paintballing=fast=straight to the point=action!!
