No, this is a weapons website. We talk politics and weapons and generally harass each other. Toys are merely a sideshow. If they ever start an Airsoft forum here, go there. In the mean time, pick up every damn BB.

I'm a long standing airsoft vet and play almost every weekend. I've moved up to Lt. on my team.
My load out: Tokyo Marui M4 RIS w/M203 Tacpoint HK MK23 SOCOM I'm saving up to buy a SAW later this year! My team could use the extra fire power. I'm really glad I found this forum, its the best! |

What DaBunny is trying to say is that we can talk about everything under the sun, you name it....just not airsoft. Which, oddly, I'm ok with. |

i thought about buying n mp5 just to harrass squirells in my back yard. looks like fun, but no where near a real shooting sport. you need a bang for those....and a real silencer if you dont want the bang. |

Exactly, there is nothing like a good airsoft battle. Its damn close to the real thing. It even hurts to be shot. I even have the bruises to prove it. You guys should try it. Its great training and a blast. |

Really, it seems almost everyone here that bashes airsoft has never tried it before. I am also looking into something called Real Action Paintball. It's paintball with realistic looking guns, and they even eject "shell casings". I think so far they make an M4, an MP5 and a Glock. |

i own a couple of airsoft pistols. I use them for training as they match the controls on my real guns. I prefer to shoot myself in the ass with a plastic BB rather than a 230gr hollow point. Other than that Airsoft is a waste of money. Oh yea both pistol combined are under 20.00. anyone paying 300+ for an airsoft gun is insane and needs a good bitch slapping.

These guys just don't know what there missing! My team has talked about switching over to real action paintball, but its nothing but talk so far. I love the ejecting shell casing! It will only enhance the combat. |

Dude that was sarcasm, airsoft don't train you for shit. Bullets don't bruise unless their 9mm. At no time is your life in danger, well maybe your eyesight. There seems to be a little gained in the fact that your targets shoot back, that remains to be seen. I tried airsoft and the tactics were close to cqb except for some reason most airsofters realize that it is bb's and get a little brave. I watched these commandos breach doors and clear halls brazen as hell. Thats bullshit if you ask me. They just don't seem scared enough of the "lead" p.s. this airsoft shit reminds me of the c.p.a. and other desk bound commandos who go to africa to "hunt" big game. Whats the deal, do they need to feel manly or something? Join Uncle Sams Misguided Children or the Army and get some real tactics and ex. Ok rant off.

I want to sincerely apologize to all our troops in Iraq and Afganistan plus all vetrans of Vietnam, Korea and WWII for our children who "play" war games and are clueless about combat. For all the good men who have been wounded or are presently in harmes way in defense of our Nation, the majority of us mature adults realise the suffering you have gone and are going through. To the families of those who have had their loved ones killed in combat, we realize the ultimate scarfice they have given to our country. |

I have one of those cheap springer pistols. I was considering buying an AEG for a while... dunno if the money would be worth it though. I could just by 2,000 7.62x39 rounds for that money. :O

I bought two of the simple one cock one shot pistols, and I use them to teach the wife how to shoot pistol in our apartment. May not be accurate, but I can use them for safety training, trigger discipline, clearing, etc. For $20, you can't beat it as a learning tool.
Do I pretend to play war with them? Um, no. But they are handy for winning arguments!

OK, Everyone bashes Airsoft, there's all this negative feedback on RAP. What's left to train with agaist a real live thinking opponent? What do you guys suggest? I'd love to get my hands on Simunition type stuff, but that's out of the question. So what's left for the general public to get their hands on? Besides, why make fun of people that want to try and keep active and compete with each other, any type of shooting and running, use of tactics and cover type of activity can only benfical. So I ask to those of you that bash Airsoft and Real Action Paintball so bad, what do you suggest one trains with in their own backyard?

Any form of spamming will not be tolerated. Personal attacks are likewise not tolerated. This is "General Discussion" and topics of a general nature are allowed. If we are going to be ruthless in moving subjects to the rigid place they best "fit" then there will be much unhappiness. Any topic you find distasteful can simply be ignored. I encourage you to do so--you have no impetus to click on a topic with "Airsoft" in the title. |

Maybe, maybe not. But there area a LOT of Vets who don't get the day off on Veteran's Day. If you knew the definition of a Vet according to the DoD standards, you might not be so quick with your words. FYI, a Vet is anyone who has served on active duty for 6 months or longer and is capable of or has received an Honorable Discharge. |
