Title: Airsoft bb guns
Post by: Kenshin on June 25, 2002, 04:42:44 PM
Does anyone have one? I have a spring loaded p228. It weak because i have to pull back to reload after every shot. But it looks and feels just like the real thing.

Im getting the FAMAS from MGS today though. It has an electric motor and fires at a velocity of like 270 fps or something. Im going to get the high capicity magazine too. What I really want is the m4 that the guy selling me the FAMAS has. That thing is TIGHT. He wont part with it though. Its his baby. Ryu will tell you all about it :D. Anyways any of you have airsoft rifles or replicas? If so you guys go play with them? My friend has 4 mp5s and we used to run around his backyard shooting each other. Those things really STING!!!

Yes, airsoft rifles are quite fun, but if you want to have a really good time in the ol\' shooting department, find a patch of woods and buy some paintball guns. All you need are a few friends and  nothing beats the adrenaline rush of a paintball whizzing by your head!

Speaking of airsoft guns, the Sportsman\'s Guide catalog has quite a few of them, and they are all pretty cool.  One of them is a very realistic replica of a colt model 1911a.  Droolll...

Do they have a website that I could look at this? It looks very interesting.

I hope the neighbors don\'t call the cops on you for making too much noise.  I can just see it.  The cop looks over your fence to see three guys rushing around the side of the house with mp5s... That cop is going to blow you away if he get the chance.  In LA the cops shoot first and ask questions later.  You better believe it.

Well picked up my FAMAS SV today. It rocks :)  I was kind enough to bring Ryu with me so he can see all the Airsoft rifles the guy I was buying my famas from  had. Needless to say Ryu enjoyed himself. I want to save up and buy the m4 next :D

I\'ve hated BB guns ever since I took a BB dead center in the chest. I dunno how many times the jerk pumped the gun, but it went partially in, and it hurt like hell. I still have the scar.

The guns I saw today were pretty awesome.  Holding that gas powered glock felt great.  It was so balanced and the aim was dead on.  The beretta was pretty lame though I must say, but that was probably because the gun was really unbalanced weight wise.  It felt like the handle weighed 3-4 pounds while the rest of the gun was like half a pound.

The FAMAS was a joy to hold though.  Great weight balance, great aim, super accurate.  Sites were calibrated just right.  It wasn\'t gas powered like the glock, but who cares?  It was fast and fun to just use.  The M4 was pretty choice too, but the shoulder stocks weren\'t anywhere near the normal stock i was expecting.  The guy switched up the m-16 and m4 stocks for some reason and I just hated how it looked.

The MP5 was pretty nice too as was the GS-1, but I gotta have my own Mk-23 and my own m4a1 someday, just to have.  They\'re so cool and loading them up and popping off a few well placed shots is just great fun.  I can totaly see why some of these guys go hardcore and really go out to the shooting ranches and just annihilate eachother.

finally people with an interest in airsoft.
 too bad its illegal to have one of those electrics where i live the only one\'s that i can get r the normal spring guns, but if i had my way the first one that i get would be the mp5k followed by offcourse the m4.

Damn, that\'s nasty. :)

Aren\'t the guns colored in the US? Either the whole thing or just the tip? I\'m not sure; I just think I saw some US guns with paint on them once and figured it was because the realistic look was illegal. Can anyone clarify this for me?

tho i dont live in the U.S i\'ve read that in some states the tip of the gun must be coloured orange or some other flashy colour so that its confused with a real gun.

I have a Glock 18 ..

And a "air rifle" aswell.. I changed the spring so now its really powerful. Prolly over the limit.. (so its classed as a real deadly rife) :)

I love airsoft guns, especially the ultra-realistic ones. I really want an MP5 and an M4... but they\'re expensive as hell. $500 for a BB gun? Uh, no. I\'d rather get something more useful, like a computer upgrade.

Nah mines doesnt have the orange tip. Its only illegal if you carry it around with you in public which would be soemthing stupid to do in the first place. They have special arenas built where you can play airsoft guns though. Go check out http://www.airsoftextreme.com for more details. The guy I bought the gun from is in BAASH. Go check out their pics in the gallery.
