Official Airsoft discussion Megathread

The sniper my brother has is like 500-600 FPS..

Where'd he get it?

Also, why do people dress up to look like they're in the army or some special forces or something? I understand tactical vests, but why wear the whole suit? It seems too hot and overbearing for me.

A BDU is hardly overbearing, it just adds immersion to the game.

If it is just the pants and coat thing, I can understand. But when you have a million pouches on you, I don't see how or why you'd need them.


When I play airsoft, I wear a T-shirt/Hoodie, jeans, some tightly-tied shoes and I wear another shirt as a balaclava. I put everything in my 2 pockets, pick up my gun and I'm ready to go.

You need dem for deh grenades!

That's not really over doing it at all, alot of people just like to get into character for MilSim or simply want to look cool.

I mainly only wear the camo suit when it's colder out Retz. Plus its just the long sleeve kind with all that, I mainly just play matches that last a halfhour or less. So how do you guys play, do you do things like TDM with friends, free for all, escort and such. And what kind of position do you play like flanking, suppressing, picking people off from farther out. I personaly flank people and shoot the crap out of them while they run away stuffting their pants haha. And just for those thinking about airsplat DONT USE IT. I had gotten a cheap starting gun (Mp5) and it was backordered for a month, then once i finaly get it I still had to pay for the three day shipping and it broke in a month due to the fact that it wasn't capable with any other mags (which pissed me off since i got two high cap mags for it that wouldn't work for it) and the piece on the inside that loads the BB's inside broke because the gun was cheap plastic.

We play different scenarios often, from simple TDM to VIP matches. I mostly just try to stick with the group and lay down suppressive fire.

Here's a vid from where I play: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLm8Sss7r2U

A couple years ago I wanted a really awesome HK airsoft gun that was somewhere in the ballpark of $200.

Then I came to the conclusion airsoft is really stupid. All you're really getting is a metal spring and a metal pin, encased in ABS plastic that shoots tiny little balls that stay in your yard forever. I won't even bother mentioning the creeps I've met that wished they were Private Military Contractors.

I had a crappy Wal-mart gun once. But then I discovered paintball, but all the guns use hoppers. So...
I found a magazine fed one! :D
And no, I'm not starting stuff, I'm just informing you that these guys ALSO have airsoft versions.

Piercings? What?

Looks boring.

Biodegradable BBs, ever heard?  And who cares how the gun is made?  As long as it shoots I wouldn't bother complaining the making of the inside like you do.

*Agree with retz*
The video was kinda boring but I guess whatever floats your boat. And as long as my gun hits the target I don't care if some poor Asian kid died finishing the gearbox. And soon I'm hopefully going to camp out for an airsoft battle, theres a couple wood areas that no one goes to where I live and my friend found a good spot. It has this old barn we could use for the night, the area around it is with fairly low grass and a nice tree line, hopefully when its not so damn cold I'll be able to play there. From what I've heard about the place it sonds like a perfect place to play Cowboys and indians (well at least that's what we call it, we place some object in the middle of the building and the indians need to touch the object, usually a poll (TWSS) and the cowboys defend.

I try to play as much as I can but all of my friends are pussies.

I got a new gun, I think its a Tokyo Marui FA-MAS, or its Cybergun. I have no god damn clue, it was just sold to me as a 'FA-MAS.'

Now I get into a big arguement when I say what gun I have, because I pronounce it more like 'famous.' Its an acronym, and it can be pronounced any way.

I like really long matches. I was with this 'Communist' kid with an AK74 and I had a pistol, it took us an hour to take out the first few players. It was two of us against 4 of them. The enemy team was using my guns, and the pistol I used was my best.

I don't care really if I'm 'the best in the match' or whatever, I just want to cover my team and myself.

If a gun shoots and has a nice exterior and is sturdy to boot, then I don't care at all about the inside.

Yeah, wasn't really a good video I agree but, we play some exciting games. I just pasted the first video I found.

Bios are bad to use and, not caring how the gun is made is handicapped. Internals are the most important part of the gun, that's what you should care about.
