Airsoft Gun thread

[jquirit]

You've hit a very good point on the head. When airsoft was a niche activity you didn't have a lot of kids and such running around with these replicas. With the explosion of popularity with airsoft there has been more and more instances of events like you have related in the evening news.

One of the activities we pushed for when airsoft was taking off was for the education for both the parents and kids on proper safety and handling of airsoft products. I'm glad to see more and more vendors pushing for more personal responsibility of the people purchasing it, especially for the parents that are purchasing it for their kids and educating them on the proper usage.

Yes indeed guys!
The guys that i normally play with are very serious on a safety note. Barrel plug at all times when not in game, and ballistics grade eye protection. Never blatantly shoot nipple->up even if its the only should you could make, just yell the comment Kill-

Its great fun when safety is given, but with the great popularity, damn it destroys it for the people trying to do this as a hobby when people mistaken the people that put hundreds.. if not thousands of dollars in there gear= to 16 year old boy with a 10$ wal mart special driving around popping his friends in the back.

It does help that our leader is an ex marine, and we have a hand full of officers from the police force that join in-


So come on guys, lets continue the fun! glad to see some interest and thanks jq for posting that

Absolutely argee for your opinion, As I know,there's several countries that draft the laws on airsoft handling policy, similiar to the real steel carriers.

And This market were not niche now and you can check with Airsoft.eu for more details

My daughter's almost 8 and a few months back she wanted a NERF gun. I picked us up a couple at local thrift stores for cheap. Then I started getting more and more so her friends and their parents and my friends and their kids etc. could shoot each other. It's been fun and now we have like 30 some odd NERF guns.
While doing this I thought of the next step, airsoft. My little girl is WAY too young for that but if there are any BOTL that play locally or want to then I'm certainly down to pick up a piece (this is where it always begins!) and check it out.

Maybe I should send you a couple of NERF guns so you and your partner or the wifey can blast each other.

for your Daughter 100% on the Nerf guns Hell, I had a blast with them when i was younger!
For you and the elders, AIR SOFT!
I suggest go big or go home

When i started i invested 80$ in a Shopko Brand Spring operated gun, Single shot, you had to pull back a pin, then fire... Friends picked up 30$+ Pistols, All broke down.

Years passed, I picked up an Echo1 G36c, Upgrade's are endless, and everyone else did the same, No more worries about parts breaking down, if they do go to a shop or order new ones and upgrade your self, Its a blast! but be warned, even with padding, clothing, it hurts like hell

This one is for Sam I am.



Recently completed project rifle as I had the parts sitting around since 2003-2005, and it's been needing to be done. Started off as a Tokyo Marui Styer AUG replica, and since then:

- Guarder SMG-length outer barrel
- Tokyo Marui SOCOM-style surpressor
- Tokyo Marui M-16 length tightbore internal barrel
- Systema M100 spring
- Systema silent piston head
- Systema oil-less bushings
- Systema ball-bearing spring guide
- Classic Army all-metal hop-up assembly
- Shimmed up the body to remove almost all rattles and squeaks

The internal barrel stops an inch short of coming out of the surpressor, which gives it a very long internal barrel because of it's bullpup configuration (almost up there with the PSG-1 internal barrel length).

Haven't tested it yet as I lost the dongle to charge the batteries (uses the mini-Tamiya connectors) and will have to get a new one. I imagine this one will be a shooter.
