Hey Gunny, here's a few links about Airsoft. (We were talking about it last night.)
Paintball is cool too...just thought we sould weigh our options. The Airsoft guns are a lot more lifelike.

What's the difference between Airsoft and regular paintball?
Airsoft = soft bb pellet, realistic guns.
Paintball = big liquid filled ball that splats when it hits you, unrealistic guns.
Gun cost is about the same. Ammo seems simliar too. Biodegradable ammo is available.
Here's a good comparison .
I'm up for either/both. We need to find a good field/wooded area to play in (without getting shot by hunters)
Your sig picture is beautiful!!!!! OMG I can't stop laughing.... too funny
Looks like the Yoga classes are working!
Here's my thought: we all buy one of these Airsoft guns then meet at a mutually agreed upon location and shoot each other.
Sounds good to me. How about 39.59N 98.35W on February 7th?
2 points if you can guess what's there.

My friend's son has an airsoft gun. They shoot little yellow plastic BBs at high speed and fast rate. His looks like a realistic gun but only about 1ft long compared to a real M16. At close range they can sting and they are battery powered. Though little yellow BB's are all over the place too. I belive he got his at a sporting goods store called Academy. His was made of plastic but only cost $20
A friend of mine plays airsoft, and the guns they get are quite expensive and don't use batteries, but co2. The more realistic, the more powerful, the more expensive.
I am feeling sick tonight so I won't be playing any games, but I would definately be interested in following through with this. Hopefully we can get a good turn out and make this a tradition, even if only twice a year or something. Let's get some prices together for folks so they have an idea of cost.
Check out these links for comparison:
The following site has guns that start at around 15 bucks. They feature guns that tend to be toy-like, complete with orange barrel plug. The prices are good, but the guns themselves tend to look a bit hammy.

The following link is really cool. It's a company that specializes in making movie props, but has a large section on realistic airsoft guns. These are 1 to 1 scale models of the originals that start at around 400 dollars on the cheap end.

I like the redwolf site the best, the gun i want is around $1400 though. I guess I will have to go for something with a little less punch but much more reasonable in price.
I think you could get a useable gun for < 100, but would probably need to spend 250-300 to get something satisfying like an MP5.

Now this is intriguing, and looks to be more interesting than a LAN party....

$68 ???
This is very affordable.
MP5SD6 for $194? that is cool...
This guy is local here in Vancouver but also a ebay seller, some of this stuff is just a tad expensive...

Yeah, the realism is amazing on some of these guns. I saw a "special" on tv about a hardcore group of "airsofters"... They had accurate special ops uniforms and even had hands free radio headsets for communicating in the field. The scenarios were far more complex than simple capture the flag. They were going in after downed pilots, trying to beat an opfor that was also racing to capture the guy.Quote:

The problem I have with it, is that I'd rather spend my money on the real deals
Yeah, but you'd get put in jail for shooting your friends with the real deals.
A silly question: Is it obvious when you tag someone, or to a lesser degree, when you yourself have been tagged? Airsoft seems to rely a bit more on the honor system, than paintball for example---which is fine, but I'm just curious if it's hard to tell if you've scored a hit.
You look for the blood that the airsoft pellets draw. ;)
Actually it is the honor system. When you play with friends I guess it's less of an issue than if you're up against a team of strangers.
Okay, I'm completely stumped. I checked it out and it's in northern Kansas, on highway 128, next to Limesotne Creek feeding in to Lake Waconda.Quote:

What the hell is there?
Here's another airsoft page: Airsoft Extreme
Looks like the accuracy for the mid-sized electrical guns is 70-90 ft. Sniper Rifles are quite a bit more accurate to longer distances as you'd expect.
They even have Bribo's favorite gun.
Sweet! :)
