Airsofters in eGO?

[ThePhlubs]

Just wondering if any other Edge Gamers members love to airsoft? If so, where do you go and what guns do you have? (Anyone out here in the California bay area?)

 

[Shruikai]

I usually can go to a park or someones house in the fron/backyard etc and guns I use, I have a shotgun and like a mp5, wbu tho?

 

[Kaspitone]

Serious question. What's the appeal of airsofting? Why not just get a real gun or join the military?

 

[Shruikai]

Because real guns kill ppl airsofts dont

 

[ThePhlubs]

I have a WE m14, glock 17, and a Realsword AK.

Also Kaspitone, it is essentially the same as people who reenact historical battles. It's military simulation, and it is as close as you can get to the real thing without shooting people. It honestly depends on the field you go to though; some fields are just a bunch of 13-year-olds with Walmart guns and some have working Humvees, artillery, and occasionally APC's. The craziest thing I ever saw at any field was a downed apache.

That m14 looks likea BB gun lol

 

[Kaspitone]

Makes sense, I guess. Hope you have fun.

I don't currently play, but a friend of mine is really big into it. I've been looking into it recently and caught the bug.

Looking at a Classic Army M24 for my first gun.

Paintball<3 I don't like airsoft as much as paintball. It's still fun though.

Hmm never paint balled, is it fun?

It's great, just hurts a little bit more in my opinion. But it's a lot of fun.

Korea is crazy about airsoft guns, just not professionally. I remember going out into the playground and getting into a war with 20 other kids.

Wow nice

 

[mobomelter]

My concern with airsoft would be rampant cheating. Cheating is bad enough in paintball when people try to wipe paint off but getting hit with something that doesn't leave a mark? That would just make me angry. I can only imagine the arguments over who is out.

If that wasn't a concern I would give airsoft a shot. Pellets are much cheaper than paintballs.
