Airsoft Thread

I thought I heard of the guys at 501st doing up one of their AR's with airsoft internals...

Anyhow, you guys in the USA should implement some type of community enforced 18+ rules like we have here in Canada. All the retailers here won't sell to you unless you're "Age Verified" on airsoftcanada.com and your local forums as well.

Wow, that system actually sounds really efficient, although it would only allow players to be registered if they are living in an area with a large enough player base to have forums for.

or

I am leaning towards the mosfet...and its cheaper. I'm done fucking with my m4 after this thou, its caused me to much of a headache and grief compared to any airsoft gun I ever had.

Get the QR one, it's handy as fuck and makes gearbox disassembly MUCH easier since you can take the spring out and release all tension before and after assembling the gearbox. You can add a much better MOSFET unit to it after the fact that will allow you to setup burst modes and such.

Well, the way it works is pretty simple for verification. People that are respected in the community recommend other respected members to become verifiers for local areas. Since you guys have lots of retail stores I'm sure they all "talk" to some degree and know each other and their customers pretty well. Once you get some nationally distributed verifiers you just tell all potential new players that want to buy guns to meet up and talk to a verifier. Verifier checks some government issue ID and then reports back to whoever is keeping the age verified list in place.

The problem is getting all retailers to enforce this policy, especially web retailers that will ship anywhere. If even one retailer starts selling to underage's then they'll get all the business from disrespectful immature kids...

Maybe the airsoft community in the USA should looks at this verification system and take it to the senators that were pushing for this bill. Instead of making colored guns, make it a law that all airsoft retailers only sell to people 18+ years of age. Since airsoft guns aren't covered under your second amendment to bear arms (since they aren't firearms) this shouldn't be a problem.

lmao.

Finally got my gun back from evike. Broken AGAIN, different part. I barley used it when I got it (yesterday), and today I found out that the entire receiver is cracked in half. I'm going to call them and tell them to just send me the part that I need (it takes literally 1 minute to do, and if I send it to them it will be over 2 -3 weeks..) or I want my money back.

That's what I'm currently running. I want to replace the helmet with something more like a FAST Carbon/Ballistic Helmet, and I want to replace my vest and blast belt with something lighter and less cumbersome. I also need to get some real Crye Combat Pants AC in Multicam as well as a Combat Shirt AC in Multicam with Sand/Khaki Combat Shirt pads. I have some replica Crye Combat Pants with replica pads but they're so uncomfortable in comparison to the real thing that I'd rather mis-match the colors and wear the Sand pants with my Multicam stuff.

Looks like de Leon is now trying to give airsoft guns a similar status to those in Canada.

[Cortexian]

Yeah and look how well that worked out. For a year or so we were forced to bring in semi-clear guns, but now we're bringing in fully colored ones again perfectly legally.

IMO airsoft guns SHOULD be classified as real firearms, but only so you need an actual license to purchase them. They could fall into their own category of firearms, thus making it legal to point and shoot at other people with.

Alright here's some pics of my Mk23 that I painted months ago and never got around to take pictures of. I'll have pics of my full loadout when I get around to that too.
