Title: Anyone play airsoft?
Post by: BlakPilar on December 18, 2011, 08:14:01 pm
I'm just curious to see if anyone does :)

If you do (or don't) I have two guns. An MP5 (top) and a Remington TAC1 (bottom).

Ahh, very nice. Both of mine are 80-ish% metal. I was going to buy an AUG from my friend, but he stripped it and sold it for parts to a store :(

I shoot both real guns and airsoft. My bro is much more into airsoft than I am, however, I do own a couple guns.

I have an AK (plastic) as well as a few pistols.

I don't really, since I never got the chance to get into it as kid (not sure if those guns were even available here in the '90s).

I personally wouldn't mind shooting random stuff with real guns I think or just own them because some looks cool, but not in the area where I live, because we never know what can happen, plus I doubt in my area we would be allowed to have any anyway since there's no place for hunting nearby.
Title: Re: Anyone play airsoft?
Post by: Juju on December 20, 2011, 02:57:25 am
I think you have to go to places specially made for that, such as shooting fields.

I dont hunt, just target shoot. In the US, you can shoot at shooting ranges (either indoors or outdoors) that are made for shooting. Such as this (http://www.americanrifleman.org/GalleryItem.aspx?cid=22&gid=95&id=643). (I actually went there for their CMP program run by the US army. It was awesome :D ).

Yeah I do :)

What guns do you have?

I have a .22 for myself, and my dad has quite a few.

In the U.S. you can go as far as getting a conceal and carry license, lol, Here you don't need to hunt with it or even target shoot with it to have one....

indeed look at fpsrussia (youtube). I am not allowed to have any guns :P still under age and most guns are illigal here.
 you can only have guns if you're a member of a shooting club with huge restrictions etc, although I do own a bow :P oldskool ftw :P

My .22 is a Mossberg Plinkster: $99 at dick's sporting goods. ;)

hmm, never was a fan of dicks sporting goods.....but then again I never bought a REAL gun from there....only one airsoft gun.....And then I found  :w00t: http://www.airsoftsmith.com/ :w00t:

This is where my team shops...lol
Title: Re: Anyone play airsoft?
Post by: flyingfisch on December 22, 2011, 11:21:35 am
I should check that place out some time. Its like 2hr. from my house, but sometimes we go to Dayton, so maybe we could stop there on the way.

Dick's isn't a great place to buy real guns either, but then again, you aren't really buying .22's for quality, they're just fun guns that dont cost a lot to shoot. (other ammo can get EXPENSIVE!!)

well, if we ever wanted to meet up, it looks like mansfield is the place to do it...
Title: Re: Anyone play airsoft?
Post by: saintrunner on December 22, 2011, 11:58:35 am
Yeah I actually might be going to Akron for a Band Comp next year, And I also go to Dayton airshows all the time!
Title: Re: Anyone play airsoft?
Post by: flyingfisch on December 22, 2011, 12:08:25 pm
We go to Dayton about once a year. That would be another place to meet. Are you an aviation buff?
Title: Re: Anyone play airsoft?
Post by: saintrunner on December 22, 2011, 12:14:11 pm
You could say that lol, My grandfather was a ball turret gunner, helped design the B-52 Stealth Bomber, Also helped design the shuttle for NASA, and so on and so on. Every since I saw his papers and work after he died, I've been interested in Aviation :) I used to go to Dayton every year for the air shows, but I got busy with my other passion...MUSIC! Which is all good, but I REALLY want to go back to an air show :)
Title: Re: Anyone play airsoft?
Post by: flyingfisch on December 22, 2011, 12:32:48 pm
Well thats really cool. My grandfather flew DC-3's for North Central (they had a Blue goose on their tail), and his brother was also a pilot. My Grandpa had to jump out of a burning DC-3 once and my grandma still has the newspaper article. His brother died flying a boyscout troop to alaska. It was cloudy and he hit the side of a mountain. That was before GPS's.

So ever since I was really little I've been interested in aviation. Since a few years ago, we've been going to the Air Force museum in dayton yearly. That place is HUGE!

I think your the first guy on this forum that I've met that was actually interested in aviation :)

Wow. Lucky you! Thats a C-5, right?

I have actually finished ground school and am waiting for my 17th birthday so I can start in-flight training.

I have been thinking about making an interactive field guide to airplanes for casio calculators. Maybe we could make it cross-platform if you wanted to port my code to TI. ;)

I know! I saw one last summer when we went to Selfridge air base in michigan. I was watching when Todd Greene fell. IDK if you heard about him, but he was doing the aerial transfer act, and lost his grip and fell. He died at the hospital. Can't say that was exactly the best part of the show, but the rest was pretty impressive.

Wow thats terrible... yeah no one ever said that stuff was safe or easy
Title: Re: Anyone play airsoft?
Post by: flyingfisch on December 22, 2011, 01:00:45 pm
right. and he was kinda crazy for not having some kind of safety harness...
Title: Re: Anyone play airsoft?
Post by: saintrunner on December 22, 2011, 01:02:06 pm
yeah, but sometimes, the lack of safety precautions is the exciting part. But yeah...a harness would have been good plus a harness would have been hard to get on
Title: Re: Anyone play airsoft?
Post by: flyingfisch on December 22, 2011, 01:05:22 pm
yeah, but nobody needed to know he had a harness... he could have made it the same color as his shirt and used a thin wire.

Anyway, lets get onto less morbid topics :D
