Could You explain why? It seems good and cool except that its not
as big as paintball Ive only met 2 or 3 people who have played airsoft
and It just seems like something that isnt very well recognised or
picked up, and If you cant find players It cant be too fun to play. Why do you like it or dislike it? ------------- So, What button draws my gun? Oh we dont get guns, were ninjas, we get "zappers" Wtfs a zapper? Why did we choose ninjas if we dont get guns? Because everyones afraid of ninjas, even black people. |

It is fun. Me and my friends play it in the off-season of paintball or
after we run out of equipment for paintball. Not trying to bash
paintball, but airsoft is also cheaper, making it easy to have as a
second hobby. It isn't expensive if you find a good AEG (must be
plastic to be cheap). And since the only replacement equipment is
bb's, this also makes it cheaper. It's also fun because the guns are
scale models of the real thing. Here's a site picture of my gun. I also have a spring M4 and a spring pistol. So, airsoft is a hobby that isn't required to "takeover" your paintball activities to play. You can still play paintball and play airsoft too. -------------

yea its pretty fun but the only thing wrong with it is that they are cheap and cheapy. its still fun tho. i have a black and silver spring pistol and a black spring pistol. i also have a mp5. its good cause you can play in the house.(even though you might make a few holes).

It's all right...I bought a gun for like 20 bucks a year or two ago and
played a few times. It was fun, but I got bored with it pretty quickly. -------------

It's pretty fun to go back in the woods and screw around with friends, and it's very cheap.

it is fun, I can make a full auto airsoft gun for only like $15, and it will beat almost any other airsoft gun. ------------- Hey MPAA, Guess what? 09 f9 11 02 9d 74 e3 5b d8 41 56 c5 63 56 88 c0! |

If you play with friends you never have the problem with cheating. The guns are usually cheaper, and bbs are cheaper, and there is a larger variety to the guns.
Well heres my Tokyo Marui mp5 a4.  -------------

I've got one of those mini electric ones. They're pretty fun when you're close enough for them to hurt. ------------- http://imageshack.us">

| Thats a perfect shot of u with that MP5 A4 sammy. Imyself have a springer glock 17, springer mp5 SD, then I have a Glock 18c with all the upgrades. But my pride and joy is in the MGC M16 I have, runs on gas so makes quite a bit of racket and a bit of recoil. |

| GAH! For God sakes, stop thinking that airsoft is all about spring guns! If you think that they don't hurt, are cheap etc. etc. Let me light into you with one of my AEG's. |

A lot of my friends play airsoft. I've come close to buying a gas blowback beretta-type once. I think paintball's more fun and more people play. -------------  irc.esper.net #paintball |

I was thinking of playing it as a second hobby but I was under the
impression that it was really expensive, if thats not tru maybe me and
some of my friends will pick up some gear. btw what are u supposed to use for face protection? not just sunglasses i hope. Goggles? or are u supposed to cover ur whole face? ------------- So, What button draws my gun? Oh we dont get guns, were ninjas, we get "zappers" Wtfs a zapper?

Most players just use goggles or some sort of glasses, yes even sunglasses. Just as long as your eyes are tottaly covered you are fine, being shot in the face is not that bad (just looks like a pimple, lol). In some ways airsoft can be expensive... if you want that extreme accuracy and range. I myself have a Gas M16, I love it. Right now I have it run on compressed air, so its free, all I gotta pay for is BB's, so i poayed around $400 for the gun itself. I highly reccomend not going with the AEG's due to the amount of problems with them such as the battery "dieing", warn springs and gears. Also most break within a few years due to the cheap matierial there made of... unless you get all metal parts. |

I don't dislike it, but I'd much rather play paintball. I have a
crappy little spring pistol and I play it with some friends on weekends
or whatever. It's also fun to drive around and shoot stuff out
the window...
