Airsoft
 

Was in VA last week and stopped at a gun store to get some stuff for my AR. While chatting with the guy at the store, he showed me a gas operated Glock 17 airsoft pistol. The gun looked like an original Glock and even had a metal slide. He loaded a full mag and let me try it on a cardboard target. Fucker was full auto !! What a blast.

Anyhoo, wondering who here shoots airsoft. I want to get into it and would prefer to go with the gas operated system over the spring system. What do you guys have and what do you recommend?

used to be into it alot, might get into later in my life again, its a blast if you play with the right people..i was playing with current swat team members and ex-marines and it was great.. especially to see how a group of 8 well trained guys can take out 30 of us shitty guys...

but anyway, for pistols, you pretty much have to go gas, the spring ones are just for plinking around really (and killing bats if you live in this frat house). but if you are actually going to play, the pistol will be your sidearm in most every match (unless of course you are playing a pistol match).

Your primary weapon should be an AEG which uses a battery (usually held in the stock or grip) to drive a motor which pulls back a piston on a spring automatically. The selector switch is fully functional on these, so, depending on the model of gun, say on an m4, you can switch from safe to semi-auto, to auto. some even have the 3-round burst which is cool.

There are only a few gas operated rifle models out there, atleast when i played.

You were in VA and didnt tell me? You fucker.


Anyway i was pretty big into airsoft, now school and my car has consumed me. I still have all my stuff, i may be selling my gas powered Beretta Elite with Silencer and 2 mags if anyone is intrested, i need moneyz.

My airsoft M4 looks so real its actually pretty creepy.

i would be afraid to meet arkan ed:

I do airsoft. Just bought a new gun, it should be on its way from Hong Kong sometime early next week. Full metal Marine M5 RAS with M3 scope and Harris bipod. biggrin:

Current gun is mainly for indoors fun (MP5SD2 with Aimpoint), plus my trusty sidearm; My G17 with metal slide, metal barrel and reinforced spring guide. Ill post a bunch of pics asap, if anyone's interested.

thatll work just as well for outdoors, it just wont be as "realistic" looking. Assuming (maybe incorrectly) its TM, all of their stock guns will shoot with about the same accuracy from the m16 down to the mp5, the longer barrels only make for a tiny accuracy difference. i dont really know about ICS or the other companies

You, wrongly assumed. biggrin:

Its a CA and I know it works outdoors, but it just doesnt keep the same standard as an armalite when it comes to 20m+. The places we play are mainly big gravelpits or huge semiforrested areas, so that new G&P M5 RAS will come real handy, seeing as Im gonna start playing as marksman. rock:

Contact DJ Headup, he writes a magazine for that stuff... I wana try it too but I think it's quite $£$£$

As i went to type this i found a 6mm bb on my keyboard, that should tell you all you need to know.

I own two tac vest, one light, one heavy.
Two rifles:
Tm m733 upgraded
Ca G36k upgraded
Two pistols:
Western Arms Colt 40 series defender.
Western Arms Hicapa 5, Dragon.

Im my time i have owned 4 pistols, and 5 rifles. Its good stuff if you've got a club like we have here.

A forum for North East airsoft. They have links to places from Virginia to the top of Maine. I suggest you give it a look over, read up on a bunch of threads and learn what you want/ need. They also have a Buy sell trade section where you can find some good deals on Used equipment.

I agree with both unknown and Milla, go for a used gun first. Thats what I did to get hooked. biggrin:

its the same gun but normal size.

it doesnt say here what BB size to use, so what do i do? .20 .25?

Sorry Milla i didn't tell you about me being in VA. btw, how far are you from Winchester? If you're close enough, next time i go we're hanging out. I know of a good nudie bar in W.VA

Anyhoo, thanks for the tips. Looks like i'll be plunking down some moola for some toy guns. The real ones need a break !!

Winchester is pretty far, if you are ever in Northern VA or near richmond let me know.

What it looked like Originally.


And the guy who built this Sig, his airsoft hand guns are usually pretty amazing and expensive. This just looks so real.

Also Sgt. Paine, use .20g 6mm bbs with that. With any quality airsoft gun you get, IE not from walmart use .20g

Milla, thats some nice shit you got there.

Thank you, you should see my M16 sniper variant biggrin:


I havent been into it much lately since I got my car, i plan on maybe selling some stuff, but defiantly not my M4. If you want to buy some gear or something from me let me know, i have shit laying all around, and i guarantee most of it is new or used one time so its all in excellent shape.

might get a new gun soon. (I have the UHC Super 9 pro)
any suggestions?


currently looking at this one
http://shortyusa.com/index.html?RID=4328

Edit: this one looks "better"
http://store.matrixbb.com/servlet/-strs ... PS2/Detail

those 2 are the exact same model

i know, hence the "better"
the diff is one is almost $100 less with all the goodies

So, someone tell me how you exactly play. I know there are different scenarios and such, but how does one know when hes 'killed'

In Paintball its pretty obvious when you have been hit, but how does it work in airsoft? Is it based on the honor system or something?

Airsoft is based off the honor system, you can feel it when you get hit,its just not quite as painful as paintball...unless you play with people whose guns shoot upwards of 400 FPS. Getting hit bare skin leaves nasty welts, a buddy of mine had his tooth knocked out turned the corner got hit in the face. Of course he was playing against our County's SWAT team after hours in the movie theater.

haha owned, that sounds like one hell of a time

I wasn't there, kind of wish I was though. happy:

The new baby just arrived! biggrin:

Mine looks just like that. Except with a different barrel.

Basically the same as the SAM-R, only a different RAS on her. Shes heavy as shit, weighs in at over 4.5 Kg. rock:

Yeah they are! I love it though.

I'm thinking of selling this one. cry:

No, don't, that's awesome. You're not going to see too many SPRs lying around (or Mk 12, or Mod 1, w/e you Marines call it).

Meh, I need money to fund my computer upgrade project. I really dont want to sell it, and i'll probably regret doing it.

Just got this yesterday, haven't gotten the gas for it yet.
