Post by: kopking on March 22, 2014, 01:09:42 PM

So the last few years have got into airsoft.  Anyone else into this?

I've always wanted to. It looks like a fun game. Shot a couple of my friends airsoft rifles. Have not lost my shooting touch :) If I ever have the spare money and weekends free, I'd totally get into it. Nothing like dressing up and going into the woods with a gun to play war.

Ha ha exactly.

Is much more affordable than paintball,  5000 be for £10.

You should try it,  uber fun.  Some very good sites in the usa

Nope, not airsoft but "air guns" (is that what you call them? they shoot pellets).

This is my collection which I have collected over the years.

Two bottom pistols are CO2, the other is a spring pistol. Two of the pistols shoot pellets, the other (Makarov) shoots BBs from a  mag.

Whats fun about it is the different pellets that are available. I have tried these. The JSBs are the best.

Not something to shoot at other people, but at a range. I like it a lot. Airsoft sounds fun but there are no good places around here as far as I know. :/

I had a BB gun when I was a kid. I got it when I was in second grade. That thing was awesome. Wish I didn't get rid of it. One of these days when I get some disposable income, I'd like to get a mini-14. A friend of mine had it and I loved it. Its basically a civilian rechambered version of the M-14 battle rifle. Instead of 7.62 rounds it uses 5.56. Oh the addons you can get for it  >:D

Living in a Glorious Socialistic Paradise™ you are pretty much screwed if you ever want to own a weapon like that. :laughing:

Hunting rifles (bolt action) and pistols are allowed, but hard to get. Many hoops to jump through.
