Airsoft

ajrimmer42 · 06-24-10, 04:31 PM

Just wondering if anyone out there plays airsoft??? I started about 18 months ago, so much better than paintball lol. Anyways, I just got a new front end for my L85

It's actually just an M4 CASV unit which somehow fits on with very little modification, they don't yet do an airsoft version of the actual L85 RIS kit. The rifle is just an AA R85, the cheapest L85 out there lol, and as such the piston just broke, the stock one sucked anyway though so it's a good excuse to get a new one

So anyone else got any gear they wanna show off?

Pardon my ignorance, but what is the difference between the paintball and the Airsoft?

I assume that Airsoft does not shoot paintballs

Does it shoot any other type of marking projectile. If not, how is the "score" kept?

No airsoft uses 6mm bbs, it works purely on an honour system, you just have to be honest and acknowledge when you've been hit. Plus they have marshalls walking around so if they see anyone not taking hits they just ban them lol. It does work surprisingly well.

Since playign ArmA been watching some rifle clips and airsoft guns among them.

There was this really good and well amde SVD Dragunov airsoft gun that some guy tested in a real gun indoor range(and no it wasn't your usual cheap looking airsoft Dragunov) and it was a real temptation but I knew I wouldn't be able to afford that

.

Watched a clip of this New Zealand resident testing his REAL civilian Dragunov in his backyard. Awwww wish I was that lucky

.

Nothing beats firing a real gun I guess and a day in the range with marksman rifle with scope could put a smile on any man's face .

especially with a picture of either his ex wife or boss down on the bull's mark LoL.

I play occasionaly, with rented weapons. I like it better than paintball because I get to play with mock-ups of real life weapons and they are easier to wield than paintball, because there is no CO2 and ammo canister.But picking out a team is hard, because of the fair play involved in keeping score. And we have no marshalls here, usually just two guys keeping check that we dont brake the guns and kill eachother with hand to hand combat.

On a related note, me and my friends are curently in the planing proces to build a massive airsoft/paintball polygon or obstacle course. construction of a whole slum village and a wild west street are being planned. We already have land so now we are aquiring material
Dont worry, I'll post a thread about it when it is finished somewhere between september 2010 and march 2011
