That looks awsome .. I paintballed for a little while and had a great time with that ... I wonder how far those things will shoot accurately. I have been shot by one of the little pistols. The clear one that looks like a Beretta M9 ... Stung like a M Fer. I am sure those guys are covered with little red welps all over them especially after getting hit with the shotgun LOLOLOLOLOL

I wonder how expensive it is to get into that .. I have the camo and stuff but i am talking gun and ammo

They are 6 mm plastic BB,s and are quite accurate in the 100-250 foot range. Higher powered sniper rifles can reach out an touch further. You can even get a CheyTac Intervention! You can pick up a very nice upper mid-range M4 for about $175. Some of the high end companies make and "affordable" line which means that the entire receiver will be ABS or poly instead of metal. They are lighter and actually nicer to play with.

This is what I ordered:

Cool even a version of the FN SCAR ... Nice gun .. Would LOVE to have the real thing.

How many rounds per second do those things shoot.

They shoot around 30 rounds per second stock with a velocity of about 350-400 feet per second. There are plenty of aftermarket springs and motors to make the hurt worse. Most airsoft fields have a limit of 400 fps and you can break teeth at that velocity.

I use to do alot of airsoft in a local small indoor arena untill it closed down, then i gave up.

Started off with spring loaded glocks, then shotguns (got a shotgun pointblank on my thumb once, now that hurt) etc, then moved on to bigger and better, last gun i used was a gas powered m4 carbine. fucking lovely.

was thinking of getting back into it. shame you guys are across the pond.

I currently play paintball, its much easier to find a game than airsoft around here. We play a game in the woods every weekend or so. When i was in my junior year of high school, my friends and I got into airsoft. First with spring M-16's, then we upgraded our guns. I bought a TM Sig-552 and a Desert Eagle gas blow back pistol. I got to play 2 games with them before the fad died off. :roll: Still have the $500 worth of guns sitting in my closet waiting for something to happen.

lol Stalker.

Sorry about hitting you with some West Virginia humor. We still have nothing to do with those heathens since they bolted to the Yanks at the start of the Great War of Northern Aggression.

Do you keep them in a jar next to your bed?? :lol:


I have a paintball gun and used to do woodsball every weekend or so. Been a while since I played, got a tippman 98 custom with personal camo paint applied. Damn reliable gun.

Don't think I would enjoy the airsoft as much personally...but those guns are bad ass looking. 8-)
professional driver. closed course. do not attempt.

You can say that again! I've put my 98 w/flat-line through hell, including not lubing it for a year and a half while playing every weekend. Now im a bit smarter about maintenance and picked up a Smart Parts Ion.

Before my friends and I knew about paintball and airsoft we used to use pellet guns. The rifle I used and have still to this day will shoot a .177 around 1250 fps from what the manufacturer specs stated as well as being fairly accurate for a $200 price range rifle. Aside from that I did some paintball from time to time.
