| I guess he goes by Wolfpack or Dagen. |
| Meh, everyone was in "Wolfpack" in basic training. |

Airsoft? Everybody has three mags on their carrier and the carrier is set up for only three mags (check) Some people have stuff on their faces to ease the sting of plastic BBs hitting their cheeks/lips (check) Yep. Airsoft. My daughter's boyfriend is into airsoft. He invited her to come along and try it out, last summer. Said he had a spare gun and mags he could let her use. I asked what gun, and she relayed my question. Took me a bit to understand that the reply was some kind of M-4. I set her up with the gear. She informed me that only three mag pouches would be needed (must be some rule for the matches), so I stripped one 3-mag shingle off, leaving her with a 3-mag shingle, IFAK (mainly a boo boo kit), and hydration bladder. Add in the boonie hat and ACU shirt (she insisted on matching camo patterns, so everything was ACU), and the only thing that looked out of place, was the bluejeans. When she got back, she mentioned that her boyfriend's friends were amused that the person at the match with the most gear (and most authentic gear), was a girl that was doing airsoft for the first time. Her boyfriend hasn't invited her to go to an airsoft match, since. |

I admit, that stuff does look fun. I bought an M4 that is gas operated just for fun.
The thing is legit! It is a near exact replica other than the mag (Holds bbs and propane) and the Bolt. The carrier is metal, but the bolt face is plastic and is setup to release propane from the mag instead of striking a firing pin.Attached File Attached File |

Camelbak drink tube. In either case, who gives a shit. They probably "train" and avoid getting shot at, more than 90% of the people in GD. |

Never met a cop who plays airsoft. Security guards, yes. Cops, no. Quoted:

Probably a cop. Security guards, yes. Cops, no. I'm betting the "Wolfpack" tape is a team name and not a nickname or something. My dad's team from the 1980s (which still exists, although IIRC they've moved from woodsball to speedball) was call Wolfpack and they had team tapes on their BDUs (although they said "Pac of Wolves", spelled that way). Never got to play much myself (paintball or airsoft). I'd do it on the rare occasion I had a weekend off; for airsoft, I'd do it just to see how my gear for my real guns carried when moving around and shooting. I did change my gear setup a bit based on how things went while playing. It can be fun, but a lot of the people who play airsoft can be rather...annoying, to put it mildly, although there are also good folks who play. It is amusing to see people come decked out in all sorts of expensive gear, with camo uniforms and everything, and then not want to go onto the paintball fields (there were only two dedicated airsoft fields; the rest were dual-use) because they didn't want to get dirty. Ridiculous. I used to take groups to the paintball fields just for those folks. The ones that were not regular airsoft customers tended to love those fields; the ones who came often and all decked-out with gear did not, though. One thing I noticed is that younger people who lived in non-gun-owning households ended up getting into real guns due to airsoft and also came to oppose gun controul, even here in California. I've heard that video games can have that effect to some degree, too. Another thing I noticed is that very few people follow the four rules of gun safety, which IMO still apply when it comes to paintball and airsoft. Pissed me off to no end. Some of those people were people who should have known better, too. |

Majority of Airsoft M4 mags, even with internal gas hold 60-90 BBs, so more than 3 mags is a pretty intense amount of 'ammo' that hurts the 'realism' of it. People hate airsoft here, which I don't understand. Force on Force, shooting and moving, enhancing reaction skills with a realistically weighted weapon. seems like everyone should be on the fap train. edit: plus what the poster above me said, there is zero reason to hate. KIDS ARE ALL ON PHONES THEY ALL SUCK oh except the ones that play airsoft and get into guns, but airsoft is for posers

Wolfpack, it's right on his chest @wolfpack 
Yes, that is me. We had set out to break into Area 51. We lost some good men that day, my best friend tripped and impaled himself on his Fleshlight. As the assault upon Area 51 was underway, we were taking heavy fire from the Pavehawks, we almost surrendered and turned around to go back to Golden Corral to come up with a new plan. Then it happened, as we looked into the distance we saw what appeared to be "greys", my brain couldn't process it, we were actually seeing alien lifeforms and yes they were fighting to defend Area 51. It didn't matter though, our minds, the minds of the remaining troops were on the chocolate wonderfall...I put my hand on @thebeekeeper1 and said "Mike, turn this customized Fiat 500L around and get us to our home. The ONLY home we knew, Golden Corral. TBK1, downshifted hard into second turned the wheel and punched it. The Paves couldnt keep up, they called in a "retired" F117 but it was too late...we were outta there. To all of you who laugh I say this, we lost good men that day...we are always on the border, being sheepdogs...we will always stand between you and danger....at least until they turn on the Wonderfall...then you are on your own.
