Airsoft

[Zulthus]

Anyone into it? Or do you prefer paintball instead?

[Firefly]

Paintball. I play with a nationally-recognised team.

[Zulthus]

That's pretty cool. I prefer airsoft myself as I'm more of a sniper, I've heard/read paintballs aren't very reliable at range as they lose speed much quicker. It's probably quite a bit more intense up close though.

It depends on a variety of factors: environment, weather, shooter, air supply, FPS rate, marker, ball, barrel. That's in technical terms for range and speed.

The reality is much different. There is no such thing as a paintball sniper in scenario woodsball. Anyone who tells you they're a paintball sniper is fooling themselves. At best they are a semi-automatic ranged marksman.

[Coreldan]

I always wanted to do airsoft but never got thag far, ended up with "just" competing with real firearms :D Never got the chance to try paintball either

[Canaris]

I play airsoft although we aren't allowed to go over 1 joule of power in Ireland due to the law, anything over that is considered a firearm. Airsoft is only legal by a technicality

Still you can have great fun.

I have so far in my collection

AK-47 (my favourite)
M-15 carbine
M-60
AK-74su
MP-5k
MP-5pdw
Styer Aug
H&K SL8
M-32 grenade launcher
MP-40
couple of gas powered Colt 1911's and a assortment of grenades.

[Zulthus]

That's quite a collection :cool:


I just have a UTG MK96 AWP rifle and a spring loaded 8946 M9 because I'm a cheap ass. I really enjoy the long range stuff, especially watching them look around surprised trying to figure out where the shot came from.

[SomeGuy]

Paintball is my thing, though I occasionally play airsoft with friends.

Just wondering, am I the only guy in PSU going to the Battle Of Normandy in Skirmish, PA?

[Firefly]

I don't go to Skirmish. I've heard reports about it not being the best field. Instead, I take my team to West Point Combat Classic. Which, as it happens, is having its 25th anniversary game this March - the scenario, coincidentally, is D-Day.

[Sirisian]

I own a p90 Airsoft gun set at 450 fps at 15 pellets a second. I used to play with my friends in HS who had also had nice airsoft guns so we'd get some nice ranged combat going. (Played in a pine tree farm before where you couldn't see 10 feet in front of you. It was intense). I had a coworker a few years ago that played for fun, but I haven't met too many people interested in it.

I'd try paintball, but I've been shot before with one at 15 feet and started bleeding. Friend of mine got two concussions from being hit in the head and was told he could never play it again. (He owned a paintball field). I've heard a lot of bad stories with paintball. Probably safer as an adult now though.

Any reputable non-military field won't let you chrono over 280 fps. Even military training won't go much higher than 300 fps.

Is that p90 being shot with .2s to get that high fps?

[Sirisian]

Is that p90 being shot with .2s to get that high fps?
You can't use anything other than .2s in a real airsoft gun or they explode. :lol: I remember we put 0.12g BBs in my friend's Glock 18C and it shot broken BBs since they'd explode inside the gun. It's a good way to damage a gun.

The p90 is a Tokyo Marui AEG custom gearbox and battery. It was the only way to match my friend's gas guns.

.12's are fine for any spring pistol or cheap rifle, but they will most likely shatter inside the barrel of any decent gun. I use .28gs with my UTG MK96, anything less and they can't hit the side of a house at point blank. .28s are damn near pinpoint accurate up to 300 feet for that gun. It's a spring by the way... damn powerful spring.

Yes of course.I don't use .2s .I only use .25s even when playing CQB.I was asking because I was kinda shocked that a cqb gun even upgraded was shooting that high with .2s. Do you have a TBB in the gun?If you do what is the length?

[Sirisian]

Do you have a TBB in the gun? If you do what is the length?
I'm not actually sure. It's just the stock barrel.

Speaking of this my dad is an engineer so he modeled my gun before for a class he took:
http://sirisian.com/pictures/dadp90proE.png

Airsoft rifles are limited by hit detection and they are far more dangerous than paintballs, but very fun causing pain to the oppenent.
I wore full goggles and my friend's used paintball masks. I can't think of where you'd get hit where it would causes serious harm. Then again my friends had rules about not shooting less than 10 feet from one another.

Though my gun makes quick work of an alluminum can. it can cut one in half if I use full auto. (Empties the 68 round clip in like 5 seconds :lol: )

Also if I ever buy another airsoft gun I'm getting an M93R (http://redwolfairsoft.com/redwolf/airsoft/Gas_Pistols_SMGs_KSC_KSC_M93R_II_System_7_Full_Met al.htm).

[Zulthus]

This is an interesting topic, I have played airsoft many times and twice at oklahoma where they have omaha and battle of the bulge contests with airsoft.. Primarily it was paintball but there was a 16 hour reservation for airsoft....

Hmmmm... not sure where ya got your information from buddy, but paintballs hurt more, bruise more, and have more potential to make you bleed than an airsoft pellet. Even through armor paintballs hurt like hell and leave bruises the size of baseballs. You can play airsoft with shorts and a T-shirt and unless you're using a gun 600+ FPS (who would play with you with a gun like that) the worst you'll have is a welt the size of a dime if hit from a distance greater than 20 feet. Having been shot by AEGs and sniper rifles alike there are some times when I don't even feel a gas gun pellet bounce of my pants.

[Kaotc]

used to play tournament paintball a few years ago, last tournament i played was accross the pond at NPPL Huntington Beach, CA in 2007.

still got my kit(1 of 10 Clan custom Eclipse Ego 07), but it was getting abit expensive playing tournaments every month.

personally i didnt find paintballs hurt that much, 280FPS max, and for tournament paintball you were not allowed all the layers and armour you get in rec-ball. although the pace of the game helps as its just utter adrenalin from game-on.

[Aaron]

I think I would like airsoft more than paintball. The last time I played paintball it felt like I was firing artillery when at range.

[Xaine]

I've never played Airsoft, but i've played Paintball several times.

Paintball does indeed hurt like a bitch. I've been bleeding in more than once place from a paintball game, as well as having bruises all over my chest and back (Flag running because i'm a nippy bastard).

But yeah, paintball guns really suck a range. That said, i've only ever used the ones supplied - never a custom one.

[Zulthus]

I had to order a new UTG MK96 today, I'll post some pics of it when it arrives on Wednesday, in case none of you have seen it. I'm going to spray a woodland camo on it later.

And Duke, I'm not sure what airsoft guns made your friends bleed but I've been shot >10 feet with a ~410 FPS gun and it did nothing but leave a small welt. It sure did hurt like hell though.

[Whalenator]

Airsoft hurts more. Especially when you have little ******* that break FPS limits and trick out their guns to 500 FPS because it "makes it shoot straighter". Bitches don't know bout my hop-up.

But god the blunt force from a paintball really stings you. I got hit on the trigger finger once, holyshitfuck.

[Firefly]

Airsoft hurts more
Maybe I'm missing something, but I've played both in a kilt and a pair of boots. And paintball hurt more.

You're gonna need to upgrade the hopup on that gun.I've seen,heard,and actually dealt with situations of the BB curving to the right.Even with .3s .Once you start upgrading that l96 it becomes a beast.

I've never thought about upgrading the hop-up, I've only ever used a 6.01mm barrel and the UTG L96 upgrade kit. Could you link one that's better than the stock? I'm not really sure what would be compatible with what I'm using.

And you've played CQC against little ******* whose gold-shitting parents buy them overcharged 450fps mp5s with taclites and .25g bbs? Yowch city.

[Eighm]

I've played airsoft for the last 4 years since the largest free field in the area is about 10 minutes away. I've picked up quite an aresenal along the way. These haven't been chronoed in a while, but IIRC they all (minus the bar-10) shoot over 400fps with .25s:



JG AUG - My first gun ever. It's really accurate after a spring and TBB upgrade, but I hate the trigger system on it.

Classic Army M14 - This was a roommate's gun, but he gave it to me when he moved out. A little unwieldy and a pain in the ass to work on, but good otherwise.

UTG L96 - Picked this up for $100 with about that much in upgrades. it doesn't get much use because the ranges at the field are either too close or too far for it to be useful.

JG BAR-10 - I bought this one shortly after the L96, so it hasn't seen much love from me.




While I like the field overall, it's mostly Tennessee-style backwoods, with endless little spiky bushes and trees. Nothing like trying to crawl through that trying not to be seen. Also the field I play on is very lax in its FPS limits, so you get lots of assholes with their 500fps 50rps M4 variants who don't follow CQB rules. I've seen several BBs lodged in skin from that.

To further derail this thread, I would like to invite the members of PSU to attend the US Army Military Academy at West Point's bi-annual (and 25th anniversary) Combat Classic paintball game. If you've never played paintball before, this is a great opportunity to see scenario woodsball at its best. For those of you who have played before, this game sets the standard.

Firstly, it's a war-game run by the Army's Corps of Cadets. Secondly, the refs are professional and very attentive (they're USMA cadets). Thirdly, it's run by the Army... so you'll find cadets tossing smoke grenades and arty sims, and firing blanks from machine guns on the field. There are usually static displays of military equipment at the assembly areas, staffed by soldiers and cadets. In the past we've been treated to a precision airborne insertion by the cadet parachute team (their goal was to land on a small X painted in the field) and a sniper/counter-sniper demonstration, as well as several fly-bys from the local National Guard/Reserve units. We've also been privileged to have in attendance several famous veterans from well-known battles whenever the scenario presents that opportunity (for example, the Battle of Ia Drang scenario saw several of the guys from that unit, who were featured characters in "We Were Soldiers").

Send me a PM if you're in the New York area (or within a decent driving distance) and would like more details.

Nice gun. I prefer NBBs myself as I find blowback wastes a lot of gas... it depends on the gun though. I have a USP .45 NBB from Umarex. I really like the look and feel of it.

http://i.imgur.com/klCoV.jpg

Also have a G36 that I've rarely used:

http://i.imgur.com/NbDOt.jpg

And I never posted that paintjob I did of my UTG MK96... it's really shitty but it was my first try :p

[RodenyC]

Yeah Gbbs are gas guzzlers . Is that the co2 usp? Haven't heard much about it how does it perform ? Idk why but I never been a fan of the g36 maybe because of their mags.Bit I believe they use a v2 gearbox. Also nice paint job I want to color the top half of my usp a silver whitish color.

[Zulthus]

Yeah it's the Co2, it performs really well for the $40 price tag... it gets ~450 FPS with .2g BBs and one Co2 cartridge can last you 10 20-round magazines. It's an economy gun. :p

[Captain1nsaneo]

The largest indoor US airsoft arena is about an hour north of me. Have 3 weapons, CA m249, CA G36c, and TM DE. All are shooting around 300 but the m249 has an upgraded motor and might as well be a hose for its rate of fire. The DE is a joy to shoot as it's a blow back and the recoil just feels right. My favorite though is my knife. It cost me less than a bag of biodegradable rounds and gives me an excuse to charge headlong into fire. My favorite story about it involves me throwing out my shoulder to tag a guy in the ankle for the kill.

Oh and I have a nerf RPG that they let me use sometimes as well. That's fun.

[Zulthus]

Unfortunately there aren't any airsoft fields in my area, the closest one is a three-four hour drive from here up to Bellingham. There's some indoors airsoft arena in Tacoma (Tacoma Tactical it's called) it's sort of big, but there's only about 15 people per match and the FPS limit is 330. Weak. I prefer woods games where I can use my sniper/ghillie. I really enjoy the role.

[RodenyC]

Ordered a m4 cqbr and a m4 shotgun coming up this week. I'll def post pics when they get here.

[Chizzuru]

I played both & enjoyed both, though i slightly like airsoft more. i have a big thing for realism & accurately modelled weapon.

[Zulthus]

Same. I dislike paintball because it's more expensive, the guns are more bulky, and you need much more gear if you don't want to bleed everywhere.

Airsoft BBs are so cheap... you can get 10,000 for $10 bucks, or 5,000 .2's for $15. 2000 paintballs go for around $50.

The guns look much nicer and are cheaper compared to the paintball variants... there is also more variety in the guns.

[Firefly]

Now there's no excuse - paintball has a milsim factor, and there are a number of mag-fed paintball markers that are virtually indistinguishable from actual firearms.

[Harrod]

I played airsoft quite a bit at uni with the society and it was great, but then I moved away for a job and pretty much gave up after a couple of tries; it's all good fun when you're with a group of others but I find it really dull when I'm there on my own and don't know anyone.

That and I'm now too fat to fit into camos.

[blazie]

Airsoft player here, got my first AEG two weeks ago (M4A1). :D

[Firefly]

Another reason why I avoid airsoft like the plague... PX Rangers. The whole "mil-sim" thing draws out the worst kind of pukes. It does to a lesser extent with paintball, but far less because a lot of paintballers try to distance themselves from the military aspect with their jerseys and markers.

With airsoft, though... it seems to be a big trend. My sister and her boyfriend played in a big scenario-type league out in California. My sister is a Marine, and her man-toy was a Cali state trooper. I flew out to visit her and they took me to a game. Turns out the captain of their team was some bad-ass Army Ranger. So he says. After about ten seconds of listening to him talk, I pegged him as a fraud but I kept my mouth shut because I wasn't there to do anything but hang out with my sister. But this dude really started getting under my skin and I kinda whispered to my sis that the guy was full of shit. She went after him, he mouthed off, and that's about the time that I started challenging him. What was his class number, his roster number, who were his RIs, that sort of thing. Guy kinda muttered some BS about it being top secret. Big red flag.

I called him on that, too. Told him I had a TS/SCI clearance, did my time in Battalion, and that I knew his top secret answer was garbage. I stood toe to toe with him and asked him to recite the Ranger creed. He couldn't do that, either. I ripped off his Ranger tab and his Ranger scroll, which he'd decided to put on both sleeves claiming that he was "in the Mog" and had done "wet works" in Afghanistan. Nobody uses that word except REMFs and maybe Marines, think it may be part of their jargon. The whole time I shouted the Ranger creed to him. Guy rage-quit the field.

About two months later, guy ended up on the Wall of Shame (http://www.pownetwork.org).

That's not the first time I've heard about that with airsoft. There was some other guy pretending to be a Marine officer out in Cali. I think he ended up getting the shit beat out of him by actual Marines. Over here in the DC area we had some guy claiming he was Army Special Forces. This guy was actually more than a little mentally disabled, so I think they just stopped telling him where the games were. I wanna say his particular issue was because he was semi-retarded.

Not uncommon, see it every day online, never seen it at the fields I play at. Seems to me that the people who actually did their time don't talk about it so it's fairly easy to spot a fraud.

Surprised and pleased to find some people in this community who play airsoft. Pretty neat. I play airsoft about every other weekend with 40-50 other guys from the local club, always great fun! I love the sport. Funny thing is I used to have the exact same gun as you Zulthus, the UTG MK96. I upgraded it internally with a tightbore, bucking, and spring and finally found out that sniping wasn't my thing and switched to a KWA SR10. Also have a whole loadout which Iv’e probably spent way to much money on, but hey, like I said, I love the sport. :)

That thing looks sweet. Yeah, sniping is more for me, I hate wasting BBs with AEGs... for backyard plinking I use my G36C, it's some $50 Double Eagle LPAEG. Got it since I really can't use my 450 FPS sniper in CQC.

I wish there were some teams around my area. I don't play often, especially since the nearest team that plays outdoors is about a three hour drive up north in Kent. Bleh.

GOOD SHOW.

I love airsoft, but I hate military impostors. I have an ISAF patch, and a few other military patches. If I wear them it is out of respect for our military doing their jobs on deployment.

I find the airsoft mentality better then the "hot rod" paintballers in the area that I play.

I play airsoft. A game were grown men and kids shoot at a each other with plastic BBs and have fun.

I am not of the few who have the mentality to join the military and spend 14 months away from my friends and home to get shot up in some far off land.

I am an airsoft player, a military wanabe, and I will never let some stupid store bought insignia or uniform go to my head.

Some people just don't know where to draw the line. Same with kids who play COD and think they are high speed killing machines. Only those who have never served would be so ignorant.

You can always tell a fake. Only a fake would brag about such things.

As far as airsoft goes, I have two KWA AEGs. An SR12, and a custom M4 I built out of an SR5 that a friend pretty much gave to me.

I also have a KWA USP45, and a King Arms M79 sawed off.

Tons a fun :) Great hobby, and great people. Airsoft for life!

Thanks! Yeah quality BB's are a little expensive, I usually stay completely on semi auto, but its always well worth the cost for a few weekends of fun! 3 hrs? Dang, takes about 40min to get to where I play. Were lucky enough for the national forest to allow us to organize games. Btw, nice paint job on the MK96, looks awesome, always wanted to do something on mine when I had it but I never had the guts lol.

It's one thing to be mil-sim or tacti-cool, even wearing certain patches. That's fine, sort of (I still lulz). It's entirely different to claim military accolades that one did not earn.

I really like the M4. They're probably the most common airsoft rifle I've seen, but I love the look of it. G36C is personally my favorite, just something about the top rail/stock designs.

Never used a shotgun myself, though. Looks neat.

It's one thing to be mil-sim or tacti-cool, even wearing certain patches. That's fine, sort of (I still lulz). It's entirely different to claim military accolades that one did not earn.

Or rocking unit patches... Regional patches is where I draw that line :lol:

Other then that, it's all moral patches.

I got a little "infidel" tab I wear, and I got a few others. Every once and a while I'll get a laugh from some one with em.

Rank patches are stupid too. Though my "team" does have a loose rank system and we use rank patches to signify roles.

Commander= Full Bird

Squad leaders= Butter bar

Second fire team leader = NCO ranks

Every one else rocks the "Fuzzy"

Helps the other people sorta figure out who to listen to as well. Since most of the other players won't know you by name. It's easier to just go by rank patches.

Then again. It's airsoft. Have fun and play. It's a game. You can wear where ever patches you want. The thing that bothers me is the attitudes. Even in all my "toy battle rattle" I won't try to rule over some one and tell them how "1337 killing machine I am" or try to act like I'm a "HARDCORE" type.

Ranger tabs or SF tabs are my only peeves. I do not understand some one who would put those on them selves and feel good about it.

Unit patches can be alright.

We had a group out here that rocked the 10th Mountain for a while, but they were a bunch of kids, and they liked the daggers.

I facepalmed when I talked to one of their team officers about it and he said it's a Special Forces patch. We started nicknaming their team "special ed" and after a few weeks of jokes they stopped wearing that patch for their team.

There's an airsoft event going down in CA, PS2 themed. Would be really fun if I could make it, but too busy to drive down and back for one event.

Just sharing my AS m4 operator. :D

That looks awesome. I just can't bring myself to buy an expensive AEG because I'd have to consistently buy ammo for it. I like the whole 'one shot one kill' satisfaction of a sniper rifle.

I used to play with my Marui (or was it G&G) G36C; 100+m/s (or 90 depending on which spring I was using and the rules), about 25 shots per second. I had a lot of problems with feeding, had to replace the clip. Then again that was a common problem with that line if you tuned them with high speed.
The hanguard of course had to go so I could fit a larger battery.
