Airsoft Thread

Plastic vs Metal/Copper/Lead/Gun powder

Your comparing plastic bb's (unless you buy aluminum bb's, mofo) to bullets that cost 10x as much. Thou you have more fun with bb's over real guns if you don't buy plastic airsoft guns.

I guess I should say that my point is that if you play airsoft more, you are going to end up spending a hell of a lot more there than on a real gun. If you do both, then you are throwing money out of two windows. If he has more fun shooting real guns than fake ones (I know I do), let him be. It's more efficient from an amusement standpoint to have a lot of fun doing one thing than having just some fun doing both.

Also, aluminum BBs are supposed to only be for target practise. They are generally banned for use against people since they don't bounce too well and will result in serious injury. Kind of like armour-piercing airsoft ammunition.

That's what I thought, aluminum armor-piercing bb's lol, I need a small amount for practice shooting and see what it does.

Also I am ticked, evike hasn't gotten around yet to mail my order yet and its only a ak47 with 2 extra mags. I know they gotta do others but I mean they had early Saturday (which is when the credit card got accepted and such), yesterday and today. I will check later before I go to bed but I become impatient when I order online most times then again I was limited to how much I was to spend on shipping since my dad had to order it and such. I'll just find some fun shooting cardboard boxes, birds or doing some things for some video games. Or the fact is I live on the other side of the United States and they are in California.

Also warsaw true on shooting guns, I remember when I shot my first gun at the range, so fun...:smith:

we're comparing two things that don't need to be compared. you either play with real guns more or you play airsoft more, simple as that. I go shooting more, I also live in new hampshire so shooting things in your friends sand pit in his backyard is acceptable.... getting back to airsoft, when you want more magazines, you should go for the lo-cap mags. With self experience, and talking with others, while they may only hold like 30-50 bb's they're basically garunteed to feed, where as wind up mags can have feeding issues. And anyone will tell you when you're in a "firefight" it blows when your magazine decides it wants to start randomly feeding.

Yeah, personally I have fun shooting both but dont spend a whole lot on either except airsoft.

Also they sent out my package, I saw the weight of it and went yeah...
12 pounds = The box, stuff to protect most likely, 2 mags (assuming its metal), 1 airsoft ak47 (real wood and metal) and they say to expect it by Monday except UPS is fast by previous purchases by them so I say Saturday.

I stick to mid-caps. 150 round G&P AK-74 "bakelite" style (which are discontinued). They never misfeed, have a decent capacity to them, and they look damn good for not being a real bakelite magazine.

Yea, mid caps are the best of both worlds... They don't rattle since there's no "BB reservoir", and you can still get anywhere from 90-200 rounds in a magazine. I use some King Arms 95 round G36 magazines (5 of them), but they don't fit the mag well very well so I think I'm going to try out a box of STAR 140 round magazines next time I make an eHobby order.

03/05/2010 (A)Pending
03/06/2010 (B)Processing / Shipping Center Batch
03/09/2010 (E)Shipped by UPS

They say by Monday again. And I can't track the order right now since it wont let me.

Also I think the mag that comes with the cmya ak is a hi-cap (it says 600 max), I do hate the bb's ratling or shaking around alot and I got the 1 cent deal where I get 2 mags, so idk what they will be. I hope they are mid-caps.

E:
They mostly likely sent me these

And hell to them if they sent me this
http://www.airsoftpost.com/product_i...ducts_id=27988
It would NOT be nice if they sent me it.

I'd complain if they sent you that super-hicrapy magazine... They stated hicap or midcap in the offer, not super hicap.

If they somehow did send me those really hi-cap I would want the round drum ones for kicks. If they did I would sell them so yeah but I dout they would send me something $50 for 1 cent...

Also this disturbs me why they have not updated the dates and checked in and .etc.

It's also the 12 so yeah.
