My cousin's husband popped me in the side of the head with an Airsoft AR-15 last week, stung like hell. Of course that was in retaliation for me hitting him square in his package with the fake 1911 from about 2 feet away so I guess I asked for it

I was bored after about 30 seconds and his AR broke after about 50 shots, I was laughing because I paid less for my Mosin M44 than he did those two pieces of crap.

Heck yeah I use one. I have kids and dont want to have to worry about overpenetration through walls, etc... if I have to shoot at an intruder.

Say Airsofters are gay all you like. The fact is, they are out in the fields doing it while most of you are sitting on your fat asses.

If the SHTF, I would rather be with a bunch of kids who are in shape from running around playing AIRSOFT, then a bunch of fat bastard arm chair commandos.

Try it fat boy, you just might like it.

Us "fatboys" will be sniping from 1000 yards, don't even have to recover a body.

If you have the skills and the rilfe to shoot out to 500 yards then you don't need to run as much.

Some folks get a bit excited about airsoft. Funny thing is they all wanna have army looking AR's too. I don't use airsoft to compete or anything, but it makes a decent training tool. I taught my kids to shoot using 1 in my living room. I train draws, ect. in my home with em too. Who cares if kids wanna go out and play with em in the woods.

Heh. Keep telling yourself that. Eventually its gonna come down to CQB.

When is the last time you formed up in a squad and swept through a hostile building with your m4gery?

You all bitch about Airsoft for some stupid reason. IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE. You practice to prepare for war. As much you all talk about the SHTF, you think you would understand this.

Oh yea,then ya gonna give these well trained and fit idiots some real guns so they can muzzle sweep you and not even think about trigger discipline,I think I will stick to the arm chair commando crowd.People who are in shape and don't know how to use weapons correctly are just going to leave behind a nice looking corpse.

I understand that if I am ever in a CQB SHTF situation then my plans already failed. I am no expert but usually CQB is an offensive manuvure, I want no part of that. And all you airsoft training ain't goinna help you when it's the US military you will be facing.

So stop kidding yourself Air-Rambo. It keeps you in shape (maybe) and that's it.

You would be very surprised. That's alright though. Keep on telling yourself your the baddest boy on the block. That you will be able to get off those 1000 and 500 yard shots. That these "kids" don't know what they're doing.

Come back to ARFCOM when your balls drop. I want someone at my back that knows how to operate a real weapon, not someone who is going to be trying to figure out where the batteries go when I hand them a rifle.

it was a lot of fun when i was in highschool. we'd go to a buddy's house and shoot eachother all day.

but one day, i turned 18 and started spending all my money on real guns...

but i'm still thinking about picking up one of those gas powered full auto m11's for the cats in the neighborhood. the next time one of them fuckers climbs on top of my truck, it'll get a 50 round mag unloaded on it in 3 seconds

just where do airsofters get thier training? Airsoft can be used as a training tool. But, It takes actual legimate training (by pros)to become actually proficient. These guys running around playing are fooling themselves if they think they are actually trained for anything. Remember you are playing qame, it is not real life.
