[SnozzFartz]

I saw a few people said they liked airsoft.

Post your loadout and guns here, pictures welcome!

PS: I saw somebody was interested in airsoft and lived in the DC area. go to www.maapr.com . Great website for Mid-Atlantic area airsofters.

I have:

TM M1A1 Thompson with:
-TN KM 6.04 300mm tightbore
-five 190rd magazine, and four 420rd magazines

TM M14 wood ver., stock atm

I have a Tokyo Marui M16A1 VN and a Tokyo Marui Wood stock version M14.

 

[Ska Wars]

[Grobut]

Lots of my loadout has yet to arrive.. but here's what i'll have in the emediate future:

Classic Army SLR-105 A1 (Steel version)

Tanaka Kar-98K

Marui AK-47s (with full metal and real wood kit)
KJW SIG-P226 full metal with blowback


I'll try to get some pictures up soon

EDIT: pic's added of what i have in stock, the AK is still in the mail, and the Sig is sold out at the moment so i'll be getting that when its back in stock.

 

[SnozzFartz]

I like your guns sclass - I'm a lover of the classics.

I forgot to mention that my Thompson has a CAW wood kit on it.

All the WW2 german guns I have seen are incredibly expensive! But those tanaka k98k's sure are sweet. Too bad they are all in the 400 dollar and up range.
Shoei has a mg42 and a stg44 out but they are in the thousands.

Im likin' the vietnam impression there sclass12

I have a question for those who own fully automatic airsoft rifles: do they fire at a decent RoF and range? How are they powered (air or spring)?


I visited the Tokyo Mari (sp) site a year or so ago and was completely amazed at how good the guns look. I just wonder if they perform well.

(I've always been partial to the Styre AUG myself)

I have no idea what this airsoft thing is.

They shoot little plastic balls right?

Do they hurt? If not, whats the point?

...and whats up with the cost of these things. Someone said over 400 bones for one? ummm, why?

I dont get it.

 

[Mr._Kong]

Yes they do hurt, at least if they are shooting at any decent fps. they fire mainly 6mm bbs, usually from between 200 feet per second to about 500 feet per second. Why you ask would we want this stuff? Well its hella fun, and because we cant shoot eachother with real guns.

the are replica firearms that fire plastic bbs so fat people can pretend to be in the military.

At least that is what the internet tells me

edit: The canadian airsoft community takes itself extremely seriously. Airsoft is in a legal grey area. The largest community doesn't let anyone under 18 view any of the forums related to purchasing the weapons. You actually have to contact a representative and have an interview to be cleared!

I've been wanting to get into airsoft myself but it's so expensive in canada (importing is extremely difficult) and there are few reps in my city.

 

[REZ]

ok, i understand the shooting each other in a painful but safe way... I can get into that. We had rubber band guns in my day

...but the cost! ....its like more than their real life counterparts.... whats up with that?

 

[Mr._Kong]

Well you dont have to get the really exspensive ones, there are plenty of cheaper clones that perform just as well.

Not in Canada. It's so difficult to import no one ever goes through the process of importing them unless they are of the highest quality. it's a real pain in the ass for a poor student like me.

The reason why at least as I know them being so experiense is they are essentially the real firearm, they wieght, look and function exactly like the real thing with exception that they cannot fire bullets.

We don't have to have the orange tips either here!

[Mr._Kong]

hmm, well its super easy here in the US so I feel for you man.

 

[Grobut]

Trust me, none of us enjoy the pricetags on thease things.. but its pretty much a sellers market, unfortunately.

But then again, getting into thouse high speed RC cars costs similar, model trains too if you want the nice ones, i guess it goes for any hobby, its expensive

damn, I guess they do hurt...

...at these prices I'd be pickin up every little orange blip off the ground, lol.

 

[Rameusb5]

Name ANY "toy" for grown men that's relatively cheap...

Other than playing with yourself, there's no hobby for men that's low cost. Hunting probably, and that's still hundreds of dollars. Fishing?

 

[REZ]

hookers.


hookers are really cheap compared to airsoft.




hmm, you could prob play the same game with bb guns, no? We used to do that... single pump shots, no shooting the face.

 

[Moz]

bb guns fire metal. which do penetrate skin.

Plastic BBs don't carely enough KE to break skin, just hurt like hell.

Most airsoft fields have mercy rules like in paintball to shot shot under a distance.

CQB fields usually use lower FPS guns so they don't break skin at close range.

edit: Minigun fails for no rotating barrels.

 

[Mr._Kong]

But it wins for blowing up a TV.
Ha lol I shot bullitt from like 5 feet with an mp5 on the top of his head, he had a huge bump for a couple of days.
