vengeance111 Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 I am a bit worried by some of the people I see doing airsoft, I have a friend who likes airsoft, hes spent about 4-500 quid on the gun and all his tactical kit,but he realizes its all a game and stuff so it's not too bad. Anyway, he goes to these airsoft games every Friday, and one time he said I should come along.so I thought, yeah I might as well, it will be like paintball .... the people at these places are the strangest people you will probably ever see, they had thousands of pounds worth of guns and kit, people wore full body armour and webbing, helmets, gas masks, fake bayonets and other proper military kit, and there guns !!! there were assault rifles, UGLs, m60 machine guns, rpg-7s and one person who had this It costs ******* 1500 quid !!!! I believe the real one only costs about 4000, were as a one that fires little balls of plastic at 300 fps still costs nearly half that, its just insane !!! And all these people are grown men, running around playing guns like children, you've got to worry about whats going on in their minds what are your opinions on all this ?

Paddy Galore! Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 i had a chat with one guy who was into airsoft, i felt quite sorry for him, a typical billy no mates who'd dress up and play "armies" whenever his mum would let him, he was in his thirties mind he almost creamed his pants when i showed him my Benelli M3, his first words were "does that shoot BBs?" "Kind of" i replied... Each to their own tho i guess but it really does seem pointless to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluebarrels Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 (edited) Not my sort of thing however good thing were all interested in different pastimes :good: BB Perhaps ive been around the real thing too long,and rifles/guns that fire little balls doesnt cut the mustard for me :lol: But in there defence at least they are out doing the BIZZ,im not sure all who post on here "get out with the gun" too often,if at all :o :o BB Edited October 26, 2011 by Bluebarrels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HDAV Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 (edited) Like alot of stuff its fantasy & escapism just like the Sealed knot, cowboy enthusiasts, wizards and worlocks, dungeons and dragons enthusiasts that you get, infact all role play even the Max Mosely S&M stuff is fantasy, might not be healthy..... but there are far worse ways to spend a weekend and a few hundred quid (some much better ones too :yes: ) I do have some concerns especially for the younger members, I personally think there are plenty of oddballs with SGC/FAC so the geezers with plastic BB guns dont worry me..... Want to meet some real weirdo's then just open an airgun magazine Edited October 26, 2011 by HDAV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vengeance111 Posted October 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 but come on 1500 quid for a bb gun !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiderdude Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 Each to their own... No different from going paint balling I guess. A slightly more interactive way of playing war games than sitting on a sofa playing a console. They may feel sitting in a field in the rain, waiting for an opportunity to shoot a passing bird is equally odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Green Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 You clearly weren't around in the days of practical pistol shooting. People like that but with real guns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozzy518 Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 Each to thier own I say.. Everyone is entitled to a hobby. Better than going out twice a week to the pub 15 pints of Stella then home to beat the wife up. I know a few blokes who are into Airsoft..No way are they walts or nutters just everyday people. A lot of society look at us, clad in camo sat in a muddy field murdering animals...We know what they think of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperfection Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 They may feel sitting in a field in the rain, waiting for an opportunity to shoot a passing bird is equally odd. I've had people make odd remarks. But i agree airsoft people are harmless along with paintballers.I mean how many of them have gone loco?

cockercas Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 And then theirs me. I spend my nights in a field with a torch cuddling a loaded gun waiting for a ginger animal to possibly pass by. Then get up in the mornings before its light and go and lay in a wet dyke make friends with the resident rats and wait for a bunch of geese to come to feed. They might not even come. Who's stranger. Us or them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.I.A Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 I did airsoft for about 6 years and I loved it. Was a good day out with mates and a good laugh. However the whole aspect of it was to have fun, this is totally ruined by all the fruit cakes who take it far far to seriously. To many kids and adults alike that think there in the sas or something.

ME Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 (edited) Can you do airsoft if you have been circumcised? Edited October 26, 2011 by ME Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIRTYHARRY Posted October 26, 2011 Report Share Posted October 26, 2011 I do airsofting too, though i go to skirmishes and there are the people there with so much expensive gear, then again, you to go the local clay shoots and you have the people there with £2000+ shotguns that can't even hit a small clay circle. Personally i think airsoft is great, cheaper than paintball and WAY more fun. My gear is minimal, 2x Hi cap magazines (500rnds) G36C (semi/full auto about 340FPS) Foregrip with pressure pad laser Tactical Trustfire LED torch BSA red dot sling etc and it more than floats my boat! around 6 rounds a second on full auto. and it hurts like ****!
