Airsoft

[Yohan2NV]

Since the Search mode isnt working and FYI, I went through 20 something page w/ no hit of Airsoft thread yet so I decided to just post instead.

Well just like the title says, I just picked up an AEG and wondering if there is anybody here willing to tag me along w/ to your next event. Also where else do you guys shop locally for stuff besides Airsoft Extreme and i&i sports? Thanks..

What? You mean like this...

Some friends and I playing airsoft:

I just took a few BARFers up to play airsoft for the first time back in October. I kept it pretty hush-hush because I don't have a lot of gear and guns to go around but here was the thread: http://www.bayarearidersforum.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=45261

Aside from AirsoftExtreme, there's a shop up in Millbrae that my friends/teammates own called GunKulture.

I don't know when the next time I'll be up to play (maybe mid-January) but I can hook you up with other players.

At the risk of sounding all uneducated and stuff.. mostly because i am in this matter what exactly is airsoft and how does it compare to paintball (not counting the obvious difference in equiptment styles)?

Oh for sure dude. You just gotta source some BDUs cause I sure as hell don't have anything that will fit you.

I wrote a FAQ about airsoft here: http://www.airsoftretreat.com/about_airsoft.asp

There is no comparison to paintball. Airsoft rules, paintball sucks. The end.

Let me know too. I already have BDUs.

airsoft uses little plastic pellets, and paintball uses much larger well..balls with paint.

airsoft has a higher world of realism. The detail into these things is pretty high.

I am sure ScorpioIV will chime in, but check out the FAQ link he posted a few posts back. Pretty well written I thought.

Does it hurt when you get hit?

Isn't the range on the airsoft very limited? I used to have a gas and spring pistol, seems like the max distance was about 50 feet?

I always wanted an airsoft marker but the prices are too high and the markers are too fragile.

Not at all.

Not at all.

So you won't mind if I try it out on you?

Okay, okay... I see goggles and vests. Are vests really necessary or are they mostly for show? What's the closest range you are allowed to shoot some one? Get sprayed?
