Airsoft?
Do any of you sweeties play airsoft? You know, where grown ass men shoot at each other with bb guns? I think it is fun, and didn't know if anyone else played. I will post pics of my gear tomorrow if anyone else plays.

I played airsoft when I was a kid, but we only had pistols so we could only hit each other inside 15 yards. I prefer paintball.
|
Ahhhh yes airsoft. P90 replica ftw. Lol. Pretty fun to play with a bunch of people at an abandoned/unoccupied at the time construction site. Gotta love it. Lol. The more fps the better, especially close combat. Hahah

My younger brother has a few guns. He's put some money into upgrading them too. I think one is an M4 with a red/green dot sight, upgraded barrel, Lipo battery, some kind of battery-driven giant ammo hopper. All I know is that it shoots fast in both ways. It's not something I'd want to be on the receiving end of, even 50 feet away.

No FPS Limit on games I play so I use this beast. It will destroy a snapple bottle in one hit at 20 yards.
850FPS almost 100yrd effective range. I run .45's http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a67...rsoft/VSR1.jpg Attachment 187824 Attachment 187825 |
airsoft is gay, paintball is for men with big fat balls.

Edit for Jeff: We usually play at tactical paintball near san antonio, I got tossed in the slammer due to a dumbassed buddy with a paint gun out my window, he was 17 and I was 18 so I took all of the garbage since I was 2 months older, and I was an adult and he wasn't. (I am still not that growed up lol.) So yeah, I have not owned a paintball gun since then, but I did have a tippman 98 with a flatline barrel when those were hotish. |
I played until I was like 14 or so. I have an old Tokyo Marui MP5 SD6 lying around and a KSC Mac-10.
Paintball was always more my sport: http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/photo...22918_4386.jpg ^^ Me playing snake at the 2008 World Cup. |
One time I shot my sister point blank in the forhead with my D-Eagle because she locked me out of the house. Showed that bitch wassup.

We always played Assassin when I was in school (usually with suction cup dart guns). The only rules were that you could not go into someone's house. Other than that it was open season.

So, I've played quite a bit of paintball (woods, speedball, and urban assault), and I've been to an indoor lasertag arena once (that was funner than I thought it would be) but I had absolutely no idea that airsoft was actually played outside of people's backyards.
How does this work, precisely? I mean, with most of the little toy pistols I've seen sitting on department store shelves, I can't even imagine that you'd know when you'd been hit. |

You know when you've been hit, in my experience it feels like a bee sting depending on how close you are to you're assailant. |
I should introduce airsoft in this house. Without telling my roommates of course :giggle:

In lasertag, a central server is wirelessly connected to all players' weapons and receivers. When you are hit, the computer does some combination of incrementing a scorecounter, disabling your weapon for some period of time, and / or giving you an aural and visual alert that you have been hit. In paintball, it's pretty damned obvious when you are hit, because you now have paint all over you. There is some small degree of honor-system involved (particularly in woodsball), however referees are scattered about the field to inspect players for evidence of death and mediate hit / no-hit disputes. If you are hit (or declared to be hit), you are dead and you exit the playfield. (In longer games, you may be permitted to respawn after some period of time.) In airsoft, I can't quite see how scorekeeping / moderating is achieved, unless you simply count on every single player to A: notice that they've been hit, and B: be truthful. |

And if they don't call themselves out I'll shoot out one of their teeth.

Well, If you use crusty walmart pistols yes. But if you got shot by my M4 or x808's sniper, you would feel it, and that sniper would draw blood close range. Yeah, the pistols aren't that strong, you just raise your gun when you get shot, like paintball. But if you lie you will get owned. The last guy that lied about me ended up getting snuck up on, and blasted in the back/neck/back of the head with a half of a mag of bb's (about 150 in my gun) from about 20 feet away at 450 fps with .28g bb's. He didn't go to the club that night.

Hit 3 times, got within 50ft shot at his face and busted one of his front teeth. Didn't do it on purpose, the tooth part at least. I had my friend point blank me in the ass with my sniper just so I would know how much damage it could do 1st hand. I don't engage people under 100ft unless they're asking for it. |
I also play when I get a chance here in Corpus. We play at an abandoned grain refinery thats pretty creepy or a 5 acre wooded lot. Normally its 2 teams, one inside the complex and one coming in from the road. Last team standing wins. You get shot you raise your hands and walk back to a safe zone. My m4 has drawn blood. Cheaters get high fps shots to bare skin...

They've got something sort of like this at Pendleton, where there's a little "village" made of a large number of sheds down in a ravine, but it's not really a single, occupied structure, and the tiny little sheds mean that pretty much every hit is a point-blank hit. |

Oahu being a strategic military kinda place, I play with alot of marines/army/ect, every once and a while we get to use the Schofield Barracks MOUT site.
Military Operations Urban Terrain Some video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0YN6gNIytA |
Had an m4 and farted around with it. Was about to attend a sim when I got really sick and that was kind of the beginning to the end of doing it. 40 feet away it still went into drywall and it did hurt. The bro n law and i shot each other from 6 feet away. I got to shoot him first and it went through his pants and drew some blood. Kinda funny watching him run around yelping like a girl. lol.. i am laughing now remember how he asked me to stand in the hallway so he could shoot me, i felt like such a lil girl.
Airsoft guns are considered gray area. You can be charged here in Canada with possessing a replica firearm. |
Airsoft? When I was a kid we used BB guns and took it like men.
Actually we took strips of duct tape and laid it out on the table sticky side up and overlapped the edge of pennies. Sealed off the top with more strips of duct tape then limited pump action guns to 3 pumps only. Jesus if we would've known the implications of what we built 20 years ago...... http://media.techeblog.com/images/dragonskin_8.jpg |
I used to be serious into airsoft in high-school/early college. Haven't played in years, but I really want to. I just need a group to motivate me to go out. I still have all my stuff and a shelf full of upgrades for 3-4 guns.
I have a: 400FPS Sig552 450FPS UMP 650FPS m24, among others. |
