Title: Airsoft, anyone else play?
Post by: Winther on Tue, 03 September 2013, 15:06:37
Hey!

Just began playing airsoft a few weeks ago, just wondering if anyone else in here plays? :)

I have already bought some weapons, just need some tactical gear and a face-mask. Anyone who likes paintball or geeks out over the different weapon set-ups in Battlefield would probably love this game. And I think there are alot more great places to play the game on the US, compared to Denmark. Not that im compaining, atleast we dont have to have that ugly orange tip on every gun!

YES, I used to be huge into Airsoft when I lived in Colorado. Had an Airsoft paintball team, took us a while to find paint pellets that wouldn't explode in the barrel from the spring force and we used to play in this abandoned missile silo. **** those were good times.

I'm not, but I would like to. It's just that none of my friends have been into it and getting them to try hasn't worked, and I never bothered getting into it on my own.

Airsoft is a ton of fun. I used to do it before I started competition shooting, now that's taken all my money and I can't afford to do both.

I looked deeply into airsoft guns recently because of the woodchuck issue I had.

It seems that real guns cost the same... Why not get a real gun?

because I can't just go out and buy a 3round burst P90 with a box mag and grenade launcher attachment?

I've been playing for a few years now.  Get the face mask early, broken teeth can be painful.  A radio is worth getting - just make sure you get one that's compatible with everyone elses.

I used to a long time ago. I had a Tokyo Marui Knights SR-16, spring modded to 400 fps or so. I played with an organized group of people but when they disbanded I sold it. It was fun while it lasted...sometimes I want to buy another gun just because they are neat.
