Air Soft

[1ofkind]

Here's the proposal

A hobby that involves its participators having a gun that they like, buying an airsoft version of it, and playing gun fights.

umm, airsoft guns fire 12 - 30 gram bbs about 350 FPS on average which can touch 100 yards fairly easily.

The guns are made of metal, can mount any optic, and other accessory so that they look total bad ass.




The bad is that they're expensive, and will probably cost about $800 to pimp out, but the BBs are worth dirt so after the gun you're pretty much good.

Now the question: if there was an airsoft field around your way that was pretty kick ass would you get into it?

One word:  Fuck yes I would.

I might seriously embark on starting one up as a business, but don't take this for a premature thought. I don't have any money to invest, and little knowledge of business practices so i'll need way to much help, but I'm confident I can get it. Plus just look at an airsoft store:



That's so exciting to me.

I just got nothing going for me, and this seems to be a new hope along with making an audio CD where hopefully my friends cousin who was in the movie rolling kanas can hook us up.

One Word: Shit.

[KingRanter]

i probably wouldnt get into this but would be vaguely interested.

i just dont bother doing too much extra-curricular stuff in case it interferes with my weak social life and laid back home life

Only thing about air softs, never fire at an armed police officer.

My brother and his dorm mates were having a match and the police came up to their floor. My bro said as soon as he turned the corner, he dropped his gun, but that a friend didn't notice and shot the officer. Needless to say, the dude wasn't happy. Luckily, they were just warned and had to fix some stuff on their floor.

[smeeth]

I would definitely be interested.

I would do it, but no one would like playing with me because I have magical aim-for-the-head accuracy, and no one likes getting hit by a headshot.

I probably wouldn't get it because it's just too expensive for me.

[Lord Doom]

fuck yes i would

I play paintball.

people would be wearing some gear on their eyes and face of course

I'd rent the guns, as for buying them I probably wouldn't spend that much on them if it could only be used to fire bb's.

on the other hand an air gun would be a good non-lethal but lethal looking weapon if you were ever in a situation where that was best.

but yeah sounds fun

Remember, all air-soft guns have red tips.  Paintball guns however...

Yeah, but you're missing two big points here:

1. A mil-sim, woodsball marker has a hopper and tank coming off of it which make it easy to distinguish from a weapon.

2. A real paintball gun made for efficiency and speed, a speedball gun, looks nothing like a real gun.



Examples:

Stupid Woodsball guns (looks like no real gun, also has hopper attached):
