Anyone here own an airsoft gun? I recently purchased a colt 1911 CO2 powered handgun. Yeah, I enjoy discussing things that are utterly irrelevant, and irrational since it alleviates my mind from the so called, "Institution of Education".

I love airsoft. It's much better than paintball.

I own a Classic Army G36, which has the dual sights (optical and red dot). It cost me $250 used but it's the best airsoft gun I ever used. My sidearm is a gas-powered Tokyo Marui P226. My father owns a real P226 9mm handgun, which is why I picked the P226 airsoft pistol.

I use a battery operated magazine for the G36, it holds about 600 airsoft BBs

I have a vest for holding airsoft equipment and I have a holster for the P226. I use a paintball mask so I don't get blinded. I don't play real tactical airsoft that often, but there are other kids in the neighborhood that have guns.

Something tells me that superficial35 is really AOM_21.

Hey, awesome!
I just recently became indulged into guns, lol. After shooting approximately 30rounds through a Glock 35, I became mesmerized. The only reason I didn't purchase any of Tokyo Marui merchandise was since their weapons utilize green gas. And since I can't consistenly purchase gas through the internet, I had to buy something CO2 powered. (Wal-Mart sells CO2)

I want a sniper.

Snipers are easy to use. No batteries, no gas, just a spring-loaded bolt action. They also get allow higher velocity limits with snipers.

I've been indulged in guns long before I shot my first .22. Now I am quite proficient with firearms. Unfortunately airsoft and paintball aren't accurate and marksmanship skills are useless when hundreds of airsoft pellets and paintballs are flying all over the place. I might have to add that even costly paintball guns don't shoot straight, while airsoft shoots decently during indoor fights. Paintball is a huge waste of money, too.

At times, paintball becomes more expensive that firearms shooting, and I would rather shoot firearms than play paintball. That's where airsoft comes in; cheap pieces of plastic that comes in huge quantities.

Do you see the Airsplat.com ad above? haha

Liist

No. I use ad-block plus with Firefox.

I have 2 Classic Army G3s (carbine and full length). I play outdoor mil-sim and "tactical" CTF (usually colorado woodlands).

I highly recommend some of the larger ops, like the lionclaws series, if you like serious mil-sim airsoft.

We did a pretty big mock D-Day invasion two years ago. I was one of the German machine-gunners

One of the reasons they picked me because I had the G36 (German gun).

Airsoft?! Paintball is the only way to go. Too bad it's so expensive.

We have a "real" yearly mock D-Day invasion (it ended four days ago).

Liist

That's why I don't play paintball much--too expensive.

I can blow well over $200 a day at the paintball with all those rentals.

Airsoft, less than $50 because it's indoor rental. Most of the time I can just play in the forest area in our subdivision.

Frankly, the concept of getting \"paint\" on my clothes is exasperating.

AeroEngineer3141

Don't forget the $100 boxes of paintballs some fields require you to purchase. During last year's Invasion of Normandy, I spent over $400 buying paint (I've got my own equipment). My parents freaked out, so I had to pay them back this year with my earnings from my summer job.

But airsoft doesn't seem to be on the same level of excitement as speedball or large scenario games. There's something exciting about sticking your head out of a bunker and getting splattered on the face.

@ superficial

Thats why you wear either old clothes or a full paintball jersey. Besides, the gelatin washes off. Mud is worse.

Invoyable

No, but I've always wanted to try one...I've only been paintballing twice.

Modulation

I've used it once! It was awesome until my friend aimed at a bunny. =[
