I would have loved toys like that when I was a kid !!! I find adults who play with this stuff, including all the dress-up, vaguely disturbing. Like Furries, but not quite as bad. |

Well my perspective is probably different since I play in Asia, but several of the guys who participate here have more military tabs, jumps, and combat experience than most of the people on this board. Even here some guys get carried away with the equipment (one of my teammates refers to these as "frustrated military men"), but for the most part it's just having a good time pelting each other with plastic bb's.

I dont get why people make fun of airsoft and paintball players?
Its a combat simulation sport that requirse skill, stamina, knowledge, team play and killer instinct. I think most of the guys who make fun of AS/PB couldnt play 1 round without having a heartattack. Dont give me this, "I was in combat crap" either...who cares AS/PB have nothing to do with real combat so it means nothing. Much the same as a 350lb fat-ass at the range who can shoot a dime at 500 yards...but cant track and kill a deer unless its tied to a fence for him. Ever see a SWAT team go up against a Pro AS/PB team...SWAT gets their asses kicked every time, that proves real combat has nothing to do with a sport. Make fun of us all you want..I know for a fact I can paint my name in yer ass any day. And BTW I have been in real combat too. |

Yes, I am on an AZ PD SWAT Team and have been for the last 10 years or so. No, I never said that we played and beat a Pro Paintball team, as that has zero training value. I was refering to AIRSOFT, which is what this thread is about. We do use airsofters in FoF scenarios.
I wouldn't know, because I've never visited a paintball forum. Sheep |

My mistake, I read "we win everytime" to mean you played and beat a pro team....which I know you didnt do.
Its a sport. It has advertising, sponsors, big paydays, ESPN coverage, millions of fans, hundreds of professional paid players. Just because you see some goofballs buying paintball gear doesnt mean paintballers are posers. Just because I see 100000000 wannbe cops at the range doesnt mean the REAL cops are posers Just because I see a 350lb fat 40 year old at a Sports store buying a jersey doesnt mean football is filled with posers. |

Dude, as an airsoft player I'll say a lot of what gives the game and it's players a bad name are those who rabidly try to defend how good or "hardcore" they are, how legitimate it is, and get all butthurt when anyone says something about "posers." Noone's bashing on airsofters who buy the gear of top airsoft players - they're bashing those emulating real world military operators and taking that persona WAY too seriousley. |

It's a lot different in real life when a hit means more than a dirty jerzy or bruise. |

I think I speak for all of the (normal, non-animal/plush-fucking, non-dressing-up-in-fursuits type) furries when I say we don't want to be assosciated with Heavy Six, Sgt. Sugarcookie, or any other airsoft losers. We've got enough stupid shit that's latched on to us already. |

I would consider my self a "gamer" but that is just one of the things I enjoy, real firearms and deer hunting to list a few. However prairie dog hunting perty much tops the list as most enjoyable, both for the shooting aspect and just being outside in Wyoming. |

There is no such thing as a normal furry. I think I'd rather hang out with Cpt Kommando of the Airsoft Brigade then a guy in a rabbit suit thinking about fucking a deer. |

Because more often than not its a bunch of tards playing, which kills any training value, and its not realistic with respect to magazine capacities, rate of fire, recoil of weapon etc etc etc. Its lame if you older than 15. |

Yeah - I didn't mean to lump everyone together. To my mind, a "furry" is the cosplay type, that actually dresses up (and does other weird stuff). The artistic side of it to me is little different from other fantasy/scifi artistic stuff, and doesn't really disturb me at all. Some of the stuff you've posted in the past is very talented, IMO. But if you're writing fan-fiction about getting freaky with furry cat-women, then I don't want to read it.

I have mixed feelings about airsoft.
1. I believe it has spawned a large market for tactical gear (clothing, vests, etc.) and while a majority of that stuff is cheap knock off, some of it has proven to be high quality. You can argue about whether it is right to rip off other companies designs, but for myself being on a limited budget it is nice to be able to save hunndreds of dollars. 2. What I do not like is being out for a hike with my German Shepherd and finding some idiot off a trail dressed in camo with a real looking assault rifle. That really happened to me and I drew down on the guy with my CCW pistol and needless to say felt bad about it after finding out he was just playing a game, but when your dog keys on a guy that looks like he wants to ambush you with a rifle you don't have a lot of choices. 3. I see it as acceptable for teenagers to play the sport on private property in a responsible manner. I also see it acceptable if someone wants to use airsoft rifles to train with (force on force drills), but I think it is pretty odd to spend hundreds of dollars on a plastic rifle when you're a grown man. Just my two cents on the subject. |

I play AS as well as Paintball...
I also shoot real guns competively in IPSC and, I shoot recreationally as well... Not everyone who plays AS looks like the people posted in these threads. If you go to a local AS field, you'll probably find 1-3 guys and we say the same thing to them as you all are saying now... The people who dig up these pictures don't tell you they have to look through several pages of normal people to find a freak. DUers probably do the same thing to folks with BRD. The guns you see in Wal-Mart aren't the kinds of guns people skirmish with. I know it's useless to even argue about this stuff in GD but, I found a great video that I'd say represents AS pretty well... www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJNv1Ct2XUI For those who say it is or isn't a sport, I'm fine either way. It's more athletic than IPSC, IDPA, or High power. I run at least a few miles during a day of gaming. A lot of the things you learn in AS can be used in shooting and vice-versa. I do it because it is fun, I'm not trying to impersonate anyone. |

I used to be a little into the weirder stuff, but I hit eject once I pulled my head out of my ass. I stick to just the art side of it now, and I keep my art fairly vanilla. Though you've got weird shit invading the art side of it, as well. Google up the livejournal community "VCL Horrors" and you'll see what I mean.
Head of the nail. I may not be quite so average as the rest of the guys here, but if you saw me walking down the street you wouldn't know that I'm a (oh noes) furry. Like any community, there's undesirable elements; as a gun owner, I'm aware of the elements within the entire scope of gun owners who give us all a bad reputation. Several people here seem unaware that within furry, there are similar people giving the rest of us a bad reputation. |

I'd actually like to do it with some "force on force" training thing. I've heard some people speak highly of it in that regard. Get a Beretta92 AS, and have somebody, say, come out of a door and come at you with a training knife. |
