Get LiPO alarm and you should be fine, they monitor the cells and if they drop below a certain level it'll beep. I don't have one, just don't keep firing after you start hearing/feeling the battery starting to strain to fire the gun.
Other than that you don't really need anything, don't shoot your gun in continuous sustained bursts, etc... If it seems like it would be more strenuous on the gun then don't do it.
Freelancer, I still can't see why you don't jut fucking buy a real gun if you're going to spend like $400. If you want to shoot at people, quit being a fucking weekend warrior and go active and fight in a war.
because thats totally the same thing. troll harder.
Feeding the troll:
Shooting someone for fun and shooting someone with the intent to kill are completely different. Speaking for myself here, but I play airsoft solely to have fun. I do not have any illusions in my head that playing airsoft makes me any closer to being a real soldier, or a real shooter for that matter. I think every airsofter above the age of 12 knows this. Once in a while I get together with my friends, put on a set of BDU, strap on a bunch of gear, and crawl around in the woods. Does this make me a weekend warrior? Yes, I suppose it does, and I'm perfectly fine with that. Unlike some truly brave people out there, I personally don't have the commitment to join real armed services, but that is entirely besides the point because airsoft has NOTHING to do with that. Airsofting is just a hobby. Is it a waste of money? Yes it is, but what hobby isn't? There is no difference between airsofting and participating in a historical reenactment. We dress up in all this gear for immersion, to enhance the fun we get out of crawling around in the woods.
You're an idiot, I have five real guns. I take them to the range and I take them hunting.Originally Posted by Roostervier
Airsoft is a completely different hobby, and they have almost no real overlap at all. Can airsoft help you refine some skills that you might use in real-steel shooting? Sure. Can real-steel shooting refine some skills I may use while playing airsoft? Definitely. That doesn't mean I have to do one or the other when I can afford do do both.
Airsoft is cheaper than shooting real-steel, so I do it more often and invest more in it. If I lived in the USA, in a State that had decent gun laws I would probably shoot real-steel a lot more. But I don't, so shooting real-steel isn't as fun here.
Also, you're really fucked up if you think people play airsoft because they want to "shoot people". That's like saying people play laser-tag because they want to shoot people.
Jesus, and people say some of my posts are retarded.

Because they are
A weekend warrior is a reservist or a guardsman, basically someone who isn't active duty military. I wasn't attacking airsoft, I was attacking the idea of spending so much money on something that you could pay less for if you got the real thing. That, and I was attacking freelancer.
your posts are as bad as freelancer and you should feel bad as freelancer.
Big talk coming from a jew.
Ah okay, did not know this before. I thought you meant along the lines of someone who isn't actually in any kind of service but still posing like they are on their free time. In my head, weekend warrior seemed like a derogatory term for some reason, probably because you were using it to describe Cortexian lol.
When I said "Shooting someone for fun", I meant there to be as much potency in that statement as there is in shooting someone in BF3 or COD. They are just games, like how airsoft should be viewed as when not being utilized for actual military training. There are people that spend $$$ on airsoft, but how many members of this forum spent $1.5k+ on a gaming rig to play games?
