Plays airsoft?
Airsoft?? My cousin's husband plays a lot. They organize battles in the forest, Looks really COOL. But then I hate being hit by the pellets coz they Hurt!!!!!!
-
Never heard of it, but I am guessing its a bit like Paint Balling?

yes, it is paintball with more realistic guns and plastic pellets and because of it being realistic, they need orange tips
@blumage, me and my friends play with low powered guns, and a lot of rules (ex, surrender rules, i rarely get hit, i am planing on becoming a sniper, less contact and usually MG (machine gun) support)

Such a great game, my friends which is my cousin's husband nephew which also happens to play airsoft, they organize battles every sunday, they go to the mountains,hills or wherever they go and simulate a war. From their videos it's like being inside the Vietnam War, Everyone of them is dressed in a military outfit and they have to fight against the opposing team. I guess that the loosing team needs to treat out the winning one. Regarding being hit by pellets I was directly hit im my stomach when i was 12, Ouch I can still feel the pain. Hehehe

I got shot right below my eye with one..... It was bleeding..... Thats why I dont play it....
-
lol, dont let injuries bring you down! once you get good at it you almost never get shot! i just played a 3+hour game, with a lot of people having snipers, and i only got hit twice! once between the eyes (thank goodness for glasses!) and on the arm, not sure where though, i forgot
anyway, airsoft can be fun if you play with rules! implement surrender rules, rules on getting out, etc!

Here in Germany it's very hard to organize events... but I play it from time to time with a couple of friends. Last summer we played it near an old castle, and a friend of mine got hit in the eye by a bullet :x

dont you wear glasses?
ya, i only play with my friends!
but really, you guys should invest in glasses or paintball masks for full face protection!
-
We do wear glasses, but we had just announced a break and another friend of mine didn't hear that...
But the therapy for that was cool: The guy wasn't allowed to go to school for two weeks but had to play computer to keep his eyes focussed :D
-
He got lucky he didnt became blind
-
I think it was a 0.3 joule one, so nothing high powered...

Paintball is a lot better, it hurts more and the guns look as realistic as the softair ones. I even saw a company that produced a tank for that:

I used to play that (not the tank, i like it, but look at the pricetag), really cool, fighting in a building and all, you hav to wear masks or stuff for paintball, coz they'd knock your eyeballs right out.
-
Lol, that tank looks NICE!!!
But airsoft also has its good sides: For example you can convert any civilian vehicle into an APC, while you wouldn't want to do this with paintball bullets.
Paintball has the bigger splatter factor, but Airsoft IMO is way more tactical!

lol, noce tank, i have seen somewhere a tank for airsoft, not sure where though. also airsoft guns look 10X more realistic (like, they make M4s and real snipers, not just random looking guns!)

I agree with airsoft being more tactical, and if you get to a high enough caliber, airsoft freaking hurts! (yes, i have played paintball, got shot point blank with a automatic, ouch)
I cant drive, and neither can any of my friends, but we do occasionally use golf carts! that is great fun!
-
Golf carts? :shock:
They ain't no protection against bullets!
Oh yeah, and one additional remark: Don't use cars if you have someone shooting a rifle with more than one joule. Otherwise you'll see the hits later :roll:
-
lol, and btw, against not good snipers, it is great protection (they aim right at us :lol:)
also, that is really from point blank.
