suffud Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 So in the past few months I've started going Airsofting and loved it, I'm in the process of buying my own rifle and wondered if we have any fellow clan members who do it as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rut469 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 I actually airsoft aswell, I have a M4, a glock and AWP (L96). But i'm probably quitting soon. Don't really have time nor the funds to play frequently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suffud Posted May 12, 2018 Author Share Posted May 12, 2018 15 hours ago, WG Fargorn said: I think we are talking about paintball? Its similar but much better than paintball. Essentially its a contact honor sport. You use replica guns and shoot plastic balls usually weighing 0.20 or 0.25 grams. Its pretty much like a COD game but a sport in a sense. If your hit you yell 'HIT HIT HIT' and proceed to the re spawn etc depending on the game mode. It hurts a little and can bruise, but it generally fades after a small amount of time pain wise. Can leave some sick looking bruises. Usually theirs different types of sites eg CQB - Close Quarter combat, and normal games. Generally CQB sites have engagement rules to prevent overkill, as being shot from a rifle that can shoot a plastic pellet at 300 feet per second at 1 meter away can sting a bit. You need mandatory eye protection, and lower face is very much recommended if you like your teeth. Usually its no full auto at under 10 meters. Paintballing is gernally more well known but its messy, very expensive to play with the balls, whilst airsoft has the initial expense for the gun and gear. Its getting more and more popular worldwide with some places even having 2000 people play. With tanks ect being used as well. Crazy stuff.

Retired Leader Mojo Posted May 12, 2018 Retired Leader Share Posted May 12, 2018 Paintball sounds more fun tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slumptality Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 i'v always wanted to get into airsoft, but it's illegal here in aus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suffud Posted May 12, 2018 Author Share Posted May 12, 2018 Yeah i've heard Aus has a water airsoft thing. Paintball is more messy, but airsoft is WAY more cost effective and easier. Way more personal additions you can do too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
At The Races Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Yes we have water pellets that get loaded into battery operated guns, can buy then off eBay for about 300 Australia dollars for a good one. But if you buy then make sure to buy from Australian sellers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suffud Posted May 26, 2018 Author Share Posted May 26, 2018 Brought this for my first gun. Ares Amoeba AM-013 Honey Badger M4 Full Rail - Black. Going to be buying a foregrip if I don't like using the hammerhead grips at the front/Mag grip. Also looking into a Red dot sight. Plenty of mags brought now too Mojo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
