Poll: How Big is the Airsoft Community Here?

[BristolBerserker]

I skirmish and own my own guns. I have a gas derringer and my electric M14. It's expensive but really fun. Better than paintball in my opinion.

I've been air softing for a couple of years now ever since I discovered I live about a hour away from a indoor air soft arena.

This isn't the first airsoft thread I've seen in the last couple months and it seemed like there was a good number of people posting on that one.

Nah I'm not into airsoft, I am a NERF person. Then again until recently I wouldn't have been allowed to own one so I never really thought about it.

So with none of my questions about airsoft really getting answered I have to wonder how big the airsoft community is here. So just answer the poll to give me my answer.

Edit: That third option is supposed to say, "I own an airsoft gun(s), but don't actually play airsoft."

I own a decent amount of air-soft-guns, and play it as well.

I did see your thread but I didn't post as I didn't (and still don't) really have anything to say that could help, seeing how I don't really know anything about the WE G39C gbbr, as Gas Blow Back Rifles have only really begun to show up on the market for the past year in my country and remain somewhat uncommon.

I also wouldn't be able to recommend a Helmet Cam as I don't care about them, and because of that I don't really know anything that could be of use to you.

Regarding gear, I think the best way to do it is to get a smaller amount of decent gear rather than a larger amount of cheaper gear, start with whatever you think is the most important things to you and expand on it as you go. You should be able to get a decent vest with room for extra magazines and a side-arm (if you want use that) for reasonable price, so I guess that would be my recommendation.


(If anyone cares about my load out.)

Magpul Masada ACR with MW3 style hybrid sight, nice. So would you recomend one of those CO2 powered pistols you can get at say, Wal-Mart?

 

[Vicarious Reality]

I have not played with soft air guns since i was like 15

Thinking about getting a seriously well built short rifle, have been sorely disappointed with previous cheap crap


Either that, or go get a pistol and target shoot, i live like 400m from the shooting house

The wallmart fare tend to be pretty cheap on the whole. While they are fine for shooting at targets or small scale games with a few friends, but they tend to be unreliable and break fairly easily. Good for starting out on the fairly cheap though.


Currently own a small arsenal of varying use. A cheap plastic Thompson AEG with a drum mag (usually given to guests.) A bolt action vsr-10 that I am still trying to sight properly, a full metal CYMA SOCOM variant M14 AEG, one low grade CO2 pistol from the local department store and a spring powered revolver that looks awesome but is only effective at about 5-10 feet.

I still pretty much only play with friends but our growing arsenal and group means that we may try branching out fairly soon.

I'm on a hiatus of playing right now because of my job but I do play whenever I can.
Current guns:
Echo1 G36K
KWA/Umarex MP7
2x UTG trishot shotguns

Next purchase:
ARES G36K

I have an AEG I got years ago in high school but I havn't played at all since then. It's kind of a waste and I would like to play again but I don't really know any places/people who play in my local area.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

I have five airsoft guns but I hardly use them anymore. Good memories with highschool chums, giving each other welts with BBs.

I am more of a paintball guy myself. Me and a bunch of my friends and gf go out and play all the time in the woods we usually make a day of it.
