Airsoft

Hi Every1

I used to play Mil sim Paintball competitively, and put down my marker quite some time ago and sold it.
I played airsoft this weekend and LOVED it! How many of you have tried it?

If you guys know of any1 selling airsoft gear please pop me a message!!! Looking to get one myself now

I got myself and Airsoft kit!!!! Can't wait to start playing! Does no1 here play airsoft? Any1? Someone ??!"whistling:

I can honestly say that this is the first time that I hear of airsoft. Will google it a bit this evening and see what it's about.

Basically high powered BB Guns, VERY realistic guns and gear worn. Mostly used for Mil Sim (Military simulation) games. You can't tell the difference between a real gun and an airsoft gun. In America their tips have to be painted orange to distinguish them from real guns.

So you actually shoot each other with high powered BB guns? Is there some way to see when a person has been shot?

If you play with thin clothes it pierces the skin. And you can clearly hear it. That's where the BIG difference comes in between Paintball and airsoft.
Airsoft requires honest players, as it is possible to cheat. But you play airsoft for the Realism factor. The strategies and battle replications.
For example there are airsoft games that last 5hours+, with checkpoints and goals 3+km away from each other. For example there is a WW2 Replica battle during this month somewhere. So period correct guns and clothing is needed :)

My younger brother is an Airsoft player - he loves it. I just cant :P

That sounds very interesting! Not something that I'd do myself but it sounds more fun than paintball.

If you play with the right people its awesome!
I got myself and MP5. As I hate sitting waiting/camping. So I am the Rusher/Lurker and Flanker in the team!

I think Wyv and I are the same in that we are passive people in a way. Is that the right word? Hmm not entirely. We are the introverts, the destroyers of worlds. The avoiders, not the seekers. Or maybe it's just me.
