Airsoft Thread

Do it, with a rubber knife.

We had some SEALs come and play at our indoor field, and one of the games consisted of them avoiding detection and using a permanent marker as a "knife" to draw a black line on your throat, effectively slitting it. Everyone else was armed. It was epic, because they won.

Why do american airsoft guns have that orange thing? I mean you don't show them in public and therefore no one should think they're real guns and go shooting back at you with real guns.

i was looking at this a while back. i decided to get a KWA M93R instead though. its not likely that anyone here has played with one of these before, but does anybody know if this is good quality? the other m249s iv seen all go for around $500-600 USD, while this one is just $300USD

[Warsaw]

The quality of the M93R is fine. KWA is pretty good. The gun itself is miserable though. Terrible rate of fire, eats gas, etc. If you want an auto-pistol, look no further than the KWA Glock 23F or 26C, though since KWA has discontinued their Glock line you'll have to get it second-hand. The A&K M249 Mk. II is a competent airsoft machine gun. Not much else to say there.

Lateksi, we have the orange tip because we also have fairly liberal gun laws compared to most other developed countries. In most states you are permitted to open carry any weapon wherever you want ( bear in mind that stores and the like are private property) in public and nobody can say anything to stop you. Therefore, the orange tip is required to differentiate somebody who is carrying an airsoft weapon from someone who is carrying a real weapon. Both are still dangerous to horse around with, as I can personally attest...

That sounds exactly like what we here in Canada frown upon, people playing on un-designated fields with few rules. It's even worse when it's being done by people under 18 since that's basically the community enforced rule. If someone were to call in a bunch of airsofters for "shooting each other in a field" RCMP ERT would show up and lock us up in a heart beat, we only play on designated fields by law and we almost al prefer the MilSim element of the game.

Thats because its canada, and canada frowns upon fun.

My friends and I used to airsoft in a ravine, where passersby couldn't see us and mistake our toys for real weapons. Had a lot of fun. None of us had any airsoft guns except one guy (jpeg), and his were all held together via ducttape because they were modified in one way or another. I believe he removed the pump functionality of a cheap airsoft shotgun, making it semiautomatic after it proved useless in a game.

I frown upon it too. I blame the democrats, terrorists, robbers, rednecks, nazis, and some asian leaders.

Man know I realize how short on money I am. Looks like I need to start selling some stuff

[Cortexian]

Private property included? That's a little harsh (unless they're all obviously kids).

We play on a few private fields/ranches/etc but they're way out of the public eye and we have to call and let the RCMP know before we start.

JG M16A3 Airsoft Gun ( Enhanced Version )

TSD Tactical Gen II. Full Metal M16A4 Airsoft Gun ( Battery / BBs / Charger Package )

Then this http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_inf...oducts_id=2563


So hard to think what I want. I want a good fps gun like the JG one but I would like a full all out metal one like the TSD one. Still looking thru for now.

I mean I might have to upgrade one of them if so. Now I decided ONLY m16 versions. Halp. I still need to learn whats good/bad .etc.

[Warsaw]

TSD is hit or miss, but those reviews support it. Jg is plastic. Don't go JG.

AR15s are the ONLY line I'd even consider Classic Army for.

Also try this G&G. It's out of stock, but G&G is good.

This one is good too.

First one has a plastic receiver (it's actually decently convincing, unlike JG). Second one is one of their normal models, not an "Affordable Series."

Also try THIS.

Tried to keep it to M16s with flat tops, since I don't know if you care about rails or not.

[Cortexian]

Classic Army makes the best G36 series guns in my opinion, they have the most realistic externals, texture and color are probably around 98% like the real thing. I've seen people put real G36 hand guards, mag wells, stocks, and carry handle/top rails on their Classic Army G36's and you can't tell the difference between the receiver and other parts. Mechanically they work amazing with 9.6V batteries as well if mine is any indication (and mine is four years old), I'm sure they've been slightly improved since then as well. I've put sustained full-auto fire downrange using a drum mag and probably over 12,000 rounds total through the gun with no issues except that I had to upgrade to 9.6V from 8.4V because the 8.4V just didn't have the power to cycle the mechbox after about 8,000-9,000 rounds.

I'm waiting for these lovely little guns to appear in Canada at a decent price (they sit around $1,200 now since you can only get them via smuggling runs), love the Tavor looks and they use Armalite magazines so it'll be cheap to replace those. And since it's a bullpup design you get an M4 length barrel in a much smaller package, great for outdoor AND indoor.
