i wanna get more into it
all of my friends have nice guns but my parents are totally "anti- guns" people and they don't understand the difference between an airsoft gun and a nine mm.
whenever i try to expalin that they aren't dangerous, and they shoot little plastic balls they just give me that blank stare and restate that they" don't want any guns in the house" as if im gonna start a gang war of something

I have never actually played a game, but I do own a fully auto Mac 11 w/ two 50 round clips. It runs off of green gas.

yeah, they should call them airsoft plastic accelerators, and then maybe parents would give them a second chance.

i know mine would

My cousins are really into, one of them just dropped $400 on the sweetest gun ever. It's almost completely metal, and it's heavy.

JEA!!! I love airsoft... That is until some redneck fuck thought they were real guns, and I ended up with a drive by shooting felony charge. Pllus, they took all my guns, gas G22, gas M93RII, and AEG MP5 SD5. FUCK THE POLICE

your all going to grow up someday and be pissed at yourself for buying a $400 plastic gun.Put that in the bank and throw rocks the the older crowd used to do. Rocks are way more fun.

what makes paintball any more "legit?" I'm not saying I don't like it, cause I've played paintball for like 4 years before I even discovered airsoft. But I find that airsoft is more intense when I play, and uses more tactics, where as paintball is more "spray and pray"

I have played airsoft for a while. One time a buddy and I were playing at his house and I lit him up with about 8 shots. He got pissed and shot his rifle at me and I caught the bb in the corner of my mouth. Playing airsoft is fun if you have a lot of people and a big area to play. Forrests are great places to play.

yea, it stings like a bitch. Well, depends on how far away you are, but you can feel it though a coat. And most people jump or flinch when they get hit too, so if you're looking it's easy to tell. mostly just honor system tho. If you don't lie to your friends, then they won't lie to you. and if they do, bad things happen

a friend who's in the army is so obsessed with it! in one week he bought like 6 or 7 guns. granted some of them were just small cheap ones, but they still work for sure. he has two sniper rifles too or whatever they're called. there's plastic bullets all over my friends house from when we had indoor airsoft games haha

damn, airsoft got me into trouble today. turns out the guns w/o orange tips aren't the best toys to be playing with on Cornell's campus. If I had gotten caught tomorrow though (11/19) then i would have been in way deeper shit b/c i would have been sixteen. I got lucky.

515 does not pierce skin. I had my buddy shoot me with my VSR 10 from about 30 away with no shirt on and it didint pierce skin. And Dragonov's are wayyyy overhyped. This kid who we sometimes play with has one and my VSR 10 outshoots it easily. Its such a waste of money. Just buy a VSR 10 and upgrade it
