Airsofters? Report In.

[EarlyDawn]

Besides Bio, any of you big on airsoft? After looking and not finding the tactics and strategy I wanted in Paintball, I've moved on to Airsoft.

Just picked up a G36C. Plan on putting a flashlight on it, maybe a scope. Looking for reccomendations on what kind of tactical gear I should get, and any scenarios I could play in my woods (large) with 4-6 people.

[QuakCow]

ive got some airsoft guns...though i know no tactics as theres noone around here to play with :/

[Diviant]

I play here in the NEASG. For gear I would recommend a BDU, a vest, and some extra mags. (And boots are a must.)

a few rules in airsoft.

*NEVER mount a flash-light on your rifle, it is the #1 thing to give away your cover.

*get an infrared scope (cost>50 bucks, but its worth it)

*go to a shooting range and practice AT LEAST once every 2 days

*learn how to reload your weapon QUICKLY

*carry a spring-action just in case your rifle's empty and an enemy pops up right in front of you.

*if you wish to go through the pain of loading them, get grenades, they kick ass if you can throw them right and land them perfectly.

*get a custom gun. my own p90 KICKS ASS with its scope, laser sight, gas chamber, 60 round horizontal clip, and 900-round-per-minute rate of fire. the design is 100% custom, cost me a pretty penny, and is based on the real life FN-P90.

if you follow my airsoft gospel, you will own the arena...

Boots, BDU, Tactical Vest or Webbelt gear, and a radio.

What kind of G36 did you get Tokyo Marui or Classic Army?

What the hell is airsoft?

I understand paintball is balls of paint, would airsoft be like... soft air?

Classic Army.

Quasar, I'm afraid I don't have the money to shell out for any kind of night-capable scope or goggle. Flashlight is my only option.

I hear the Classic Army one is pretty cool, how is it? I despise classic army for their poor M16s but ive heard nothing but good from the G36.

You dont need that much to play airsoft, just the stuff I listed. You really dont need to deck out on a ton of crap. Unless your playing a camp out in the woods game.

Airsoft are plastic BB's..i'm not sure what caliber though..maybe the same as a paintball at .68 caliber?

Maybe one day i'll try Airsoft...but i'm still a huge paintball fan...

[Biohazzard56]

Airsoft BBs are normally 6mm, back in the day they used to be 7mm. Some guns, mostly revolvers use 8mm.

[Apocolypse55]

I paintball and airsoft, both are great fun.

What hurts more? (Let's say in the back...)

A Paintball or an Airsoft BB?

Same distance.

It depends on alot of factors.

In most cases paintball, but in airsoft you dont get hit once you get hit several times.
