Krookie Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 I've been 'airsofting' for about a year now. As a gift to myself, I bought this baby: http://www.pyramydair.com/cgi-bin/model.pl?model_id=779 For those of you who don't know, Airsoft is basically paintball, but slightly more realistic. Paintball guns come in one style, big, fat and ugly. Airsoft guns are modeled after real weapons, and shoot 6mm plastic ammo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurlshort Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 It looks like a BB gun to me, you say they have tiny paintball pellets that allow you to shoot people? I loved paintball in High School. Are the paint pellets effective? Are they way more painful? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krookie Posted February 1, 2006 Author Share Posted February 1, 2006 I'd much rather get hit with an Airsoft pellet then a paintballl. You can play airsoft in a t-shirt and shorts. They only thing you really need other then the gun are goggles/paintball mask. The paintball pellets work fine, and they don't leave those nasty welts you get from paintballs.

Lucius Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Full face masks is a must, teeth can be shot out if you don't cover the mouth. That was the rule where I used to play Airsoft (or Hardball as it is know here). And Hurl, you just gotta be honest when ya get hit, and if you're doing the shooting just give them a good volly to make sure they notice. If the weapon is souped up, they're most definitely gonna feel the hits. (although many place have regulations as to just how souped up weapons are allowed to be) I have a scoped, souped up AK-47 with two small 200 round mags. Looks a lot like this In fact, that is an airsoft gun. They look and feel quite realistic. DENMARK! It appears that I have not yet found a sig to replace the one about me not being banned... interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucius Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 (edited) Being somewhat a veteran myself, I can tell ya that a clumsy gun like that won't do ya much good. (even someone who isn't can probably guess that, though) Go for something smaller with more finesse, and soup it up accordingly. Edited February 1, 2006 by Lucius DENMARK!

Surreptishus Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Wow! with that airsoft minigun you could go round saying things like: Bunch of slack-jawed faggots around here.

Kaftan Barlast Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 I played paintball once and unless youre up close you cant see if you hit either. You just pop off a few shots in some bush 20m away and hear someone yell "Hit!"

Gorth Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Tried that game for a while, borrowing gear from my little brother and his team. Talk about souped up weapons. A short burst could make dents in a Cola can on 15 meters It was pretty obvious from the yelps and whimpering when someone was hit :D “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Mandalorian assasin Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 I have a nice gun but i forgot wut it was and i lost box so i cant look but if you have seen the movie swat it looks just like the guns in the begging. it is electric operated and it can shoot 9 rounds a second. It can shoot up to 40 yrds away depending on wind. Its Awsome!!! :cool: Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. From what I've tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire.
