so true. i only ditched the m203 cuz it was way too heavy with m16. if it was on my m4a1 (too bad i'd sold it by then) then it woulda been fine.

oh and BTW, in case anybody is wondering:

DO NOT buy from Airsoft Atlanta. Ever.

The first two guns I got from em were DEFECTIVE and they wouldn't take em back, I had to send them off to china or somewhere to the manufactorer to get a replacement. Took like a month and a half...

Moquiao

i only ever buy from 3 places overseas (im in the UK)

and that is Redwolf , WGC , Airwar4zone.

pielemuis

wth do you do with all those fake guns?

pardzh

Ooh I really like that SVD up there.

I've been looking around into this, considering buying one. Just hafta get my friends into it too.

TheRealVash

that SVD costs more than 600 dollars lol
thank god i got it half price

Necrotic

Pft, airsoft.

The two guns are hardair, used to use the rifle for small game hunting the pistols just for giggles.

After a background check which usually takes a week... and after opening a savings account at a bank that probably charges a horrible interest rate. As interesting as Bowling for Columbine was, that scene was camera-edited to only look like it took a day, when in reality, it was much longer.

Plus with real firearms you can only shoot at each other once, then you gotta find someone else to play with.

True, but in no less time than if you were to purchase one from a 'legitimate' gun dealer.

Zel

yep with airsoft you can shoot your friends multiple times.

ive ehard stories of crazy clan wars in college dorms, heck where i go they wont even let me bring in my broadsword.

Moquiao

ok i will try to give you a breif lesson on airsoft.


1, no offence to paintballers but i been there done that. i was a paintballing marshall for a few years and it really WASNT fun, i mean the bad thing about paintballins is it hurts a fair bit... not much.. but still unnesscecary pain..
2, it is alot like paintball well 'skirmishing' is.. same type of scenarios only they are played out by players wearing full camo + assault vests with realistic looking guns..
3, the one drawback is.. no marks.. whihc can bring cheaters.. but as the airsoft community isnt that large it shouldnt be a problem but witha few new players it is :s
4, money.. now lets see.. my basica setup of:
-Gun
- upgrades
- silencer
- newforegrip and torch
-claw mount
-reddot sight
-3 mag's (1 came with standard so 4 in total)
-battery
- charger
-new set of camo (this was tricky as i wear a funky kind of camo it is called MARPAT for those who care <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> )

total = ?600 there abouts (i buy my kit from not the best retailers)


a GOOD paintball setup is ALOT cheaper... but.. in the long run Airsoft is more cost effective..

at the centre i worked at we charged ?6 for 100 Paintballs... now for as little as ?7 you can get 3700 BB's... so in that sense it makes it money back over time...(think about it on AVERAGE a baller would get through around 1000 paintballs a day thats ?60...now this average was from my centre but it isnt far off...)

the whole atmosphere is superb.. i mean playing paintball is all well and good i mean the rush of charging that last bunker..

but.. think about this..(a well equipped team)

your dug in and cant move cos your under fire from a bunker so you get on the radio for help .. then a handy SAW gunner sets up at a 90 deg angle and draws theyre fire.. then you relocate 90 deg the other side.. now under his spraying form his 2500 mag you rush on the bunker... smoke nades going off everywhere as the newbies think that smoke makes them invisible... then heroically you storm that bunker and win the game for your team..

doing all that in REAL camo with realistic looking weapons.. well let me tell you.. its a RUSH!

in short if you have the money then by all means DO it!

i am consequently quitting.. due to me and my g.f priced up ALL my airsoft stuff over the years including the mooney i got back from sales etc..

i have personally spent over ?3400 on airsoft.. that is a huge figure and a 17 yr old guy needs money .. so ya know i cant waste money on this anymore as much as i would dearly LOVE to...

DOOManiac

The only reason I didn't get into airsoft is cause nobody here plays it :( If they did, then I'd get me akimbos again! :D And not crappy gas ones again either!

Confused

I second that. Man, why do paintball guns always have to be so lame looking?

Anyhoo, I don't do either. I'm not keen on getting painful bruises all over my body, even if I can bust a cap in someone every once and a while. It's still a cool concept that I'm looking into. If I got anything, it would have to be a tricked-out P90, some kind of MP5 or a G36 compact (not the G36K, this is waaaaay cooler looking), and a SOCOM-Mk23 sidearm.

Yup, Paintball guns are hella stupid looking.

Gliss

They look worse with the CO2 (?) tank in the back, and that huge paintball canister-holder thing on the top.
Of course, I'm not one to talk, having never seen a paintball gun that was shootable (tank and all)

HWGuy_in_a_Can

Akimbo Mk23 SOCOMs. Spring, though.

I'm planning to get an airsoft collection of Action Quake 2 weapons. I can't be bothered to scrape up the cash to get the AEG versions as they are going to be display pieces and thus I'll be perfectly happy with the spring versions of the XM177 or M4 (assault rifle) M3, M3S or SPAS-12 (assault shotgun), and MP5A3 (submachinegun). For the bolt-action sniper rifle, I really don't know if there is a spring bolt-action version of the SSG3000 so the closest will be the Super 9. I've also heard of cork airsoft grenades. The knife? That's not airsoft. Neither is the Boot-to-the-Head™.

I have a Tokyo Mauri M4A1 upgraded to 390 feet per second.
I haven't customized it yet because i lack $$$.
