Ordered an Aimpoint, flip up back sight and a gun bag :D

Edit: Didn't actually, editing because, if you read this and then go forward 40 pages you'll see that I didn't. Took forever for me to ACTUALLY order all this stuff but, got 'em.

Just ordered an Aimpoint, flip up back sight and a gun bag :D

use your iron sights, carry your gun

i cant believe you guys waste your money on all this crap.  all you need is a gun and some BBs, you dont extra sights.  FFS, the gun only goes 440ft or so.  use your brains.

Because we're 1337 bro. We don't need iron sights when we can spend $50 on a nice sight, and why carry you gun when you can run around with it slung to your back?

nothing wrong with slings, he was talking about gun bags.

I was at my friends house this weekend with three other friends and we had a bad-ass airsoft fight. I had a semi auto pistol which was a whore to reload but I took the pump shotgun for the latter half of the round.

I originally chose this cool rifle that could go semi auto or full auto with a big magazine but it was broken for some reason. I also want to buy a rifle like I just mentioned though, but I doubt I would be allowed to get one. Do they have silencers by the way?

Also I got a nice wound from a hit at close range.

An aimpoint isn't a magnified sight, and having one is EXTREMELY helpful. With ironsights it takes alot longer to aim, you need to raise your gun up to your cheek, align the sights and then make sure they're aligned as you follow your target, with an aimpoint you just raise and look at the dot, and fire. It was only $40 dollars, I'm not poor and it helps me, I don't see what the big deal is.

Also, not having a gun bag is stupid, I have to drive out to a place and then walk about to get to the place where we actually play, I can't just tote my gun around like that, it's dumb.  Besides, having a gun bag allows me to carry more things out to the field.

If I had more than a big gun and a pistol I would use a gun bag, otherwise just a holster and strap/sling.

Smart people use bags, not saying you're are dumb, but you can get in a lot of trouble lugging around an airsoft gun. They look real. Plus, most people do not use just a gun and bb's, some actually play play and go to places; It's a hobby. You spend money improving it.

Sniping is pretty lame imo, I don't have enough patience to do it.

I agree, my brother trys to snipe now and then and when he does I always go on the other team to flank him. I personaly think that sniping is just a nice big piece of plastic that tells everyone else that you are new and that you should go out of your way and shoot the crap out of them for using a sniper.

I walk about a mile with my gun slinged over my shoulder, 7lbs.  In fact, I carry two guns on occasions.

No one understands sniping anymore, it's not Counter Strike or Team Fortress.
You're not the gunner, you're the recon. You'll spy and gather intel to send to your team.
