<p>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". </p>

<p>I love airsoft. It's much better than paintball.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>I use a battery operated magazine for the G36, it holds about 600 airsoft BBs</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Something tells me that superficial35 is really AOM_21.</p>
<p>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) </p>
<p>I want a sniper.</p>
<p>Snipers are easy to use. No batteries, no gas, just a spring-loaded bolt action. They also get allow higher velocity limits with snipers.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Do you see the Airsplat.com ad above? haha</p>
<p>No. I use ad-block plus with Firefox.</p>
<p>I have 2 Classic Army G3s (carbine and full length). I play outdoor mil-sim and "tactical" CTF (usually colorado woodlands).</p>
<p>I highly recommend some of the larger ops, like the lionclaws series, if you like serious mil-sim airsoft.</p>
<p>We did a pretty big mock D-Day invasion two years ago. I was one of the German machine-gunners :)</p>
<p>One of the reasons they picked me because I had the G36 (German gun).</p>
<p>Airsoft?! Paintball is the only way to go. Too bad it's so expensive. </p>
<p>We have a "real" yearly mock D-Day invasion (it ended four days ago).</p>
<p>That's why I don't play paintball much--too expensive.</p>
<p>I can blow well over $200 a day at the paintball with all those rentals.</p>
<p>Airsoft, less than $50 because it's indoor rental. Most of the time I can just play in the forest area in our subdivision.</p>
<p>Frankly, the concept of getting \"paint\" on my clothes is exasperating.</p>
<p>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. </p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>@ superficial</p>
<p>Thats why you wear either old clothes or a full paintball jersey. Besides, the gelatin washes off. Mud is worse.</p>
<p>No, but I've always wanted to try one...I've only been paintballing twice.</p>
<p>I've used it once! It was awesome until my friend aimed at a bunny. =[</p>
<p>There's something about Airsoft that you can't get out of paintball during indoor scenarios. That's where you have some nasty close quarters combat and SWAT-like operations. The guns resemble real firearms, only they shoot pieces of plastic and are a bit lighter. Sidearms are also a significant part of airsoft, unlike paintball.</p>
<p>IMO, outdoor airsoft sucks and and I'm never going to try indoor paintball.</p>
<p>There are always a good amount of people at the airsoft field on weekends during the summer.</p>
<p>Ah, I see the light. I've never played indoor airsoft, so I wouldn't know. Indoor paintball wouldn't work out, since there's a mandatory 6ft and/or "surrender or die" safety rule.</p>
<p>The closest quarters we ever get is building to building city street scenario games.</p>
<p>I love airsoft. :D My brother and cousins own an entier armory(sp?) and we have battles all the time.</p>
<p>An entire armory? I can't possibly find a reason for anyone to own more than 3 good-quality airsoft guns. All you need is an AEG rifle, a gas pistol, and maybe an AEG submachine gun.</p>
<p>You can add another if you really want the sniper role in airsoft games.</p>
<p>You can have all the $5 spring-loaded airsoft pistols you want, but they're useless in serious airsoft battles.</p>
<p>I used to play in middle school with a bunch of friends in their back yards.</p>
