Here's one of my guns. It fires a larger projectile at a much higher velocity and can hit accurately out to 300 yards or so. I wouldn't point it at my friends.
UK laws are not just restrictive on real firearms. Airsoft guns have to be painted in odd colors, an orange tip is the minimum. The maximum power permitted is 3.2 joules.
Decent ones are difficult to get hold of. Spring ones are generally best as reliable electric and gas ones are unheard of. Some spring ones can be very good though, especially the snipers. My friend recently got one that fires at your limit of 450fps.
Like so? You guys can't have any fun, can you? :sad.gif:
Hmm... I just thought of a potential bypass. You are restricted from painting your guns, but there is no restriction that you cannot cover it in plants and sticks and other various items to create a camouflage.
That works. You still can't hide it in public like they are trying to prevent.
I'm not trolling. I was just simply saying that Real Guns are more fun than airsoft.
Either way, I don't like airsoft. I do want to get rid of my airsoft gun someday and buy a Paintball set.
paintball is trash, the poor people version of airsoft XD it has no tactics unreal guns, spray and pray and ten second matches, a waste of time, plus nearly no customazation besides body kits, hoppers where the worst mag design in history airsoft rules
A friend of mine has several airsoft guns at his house, and several more of my friends have one. Great for the random little conflicts throughout the day where one grabs a gun and goes apeshit to everybody else.
We usually play with guns that shoot at a minimum of 400-450 FPS, my friends upgraded BAR-10 shoots slightly higher than 600 FPS.
Never taking that thing on again, last time we had a game there were not enough guns to go around, so I got this shitty shotgun that can't hit anything 20 feet infront of it (Not even exaggerating). I snuck 50 feet away from my friend with the BAR-10 and shot him 3 times in the back. He didn't even feel it, but the third time he heard it, so he spun around and shot me. Right in the goddamn lip. 600 FPS at around 50 feet doesn't feel too great, it split my lip open pretty good and there was blood all over my lower jaw, look a hell of a lot worse than it was.
It was funny watching people be confused as to how I was not pissed off though. Yeah, I shot him, and yeah, you're not supposed to shoot people nearly that close with that powerful of a gun. But, ****. That's the risk you take when you play the game, I was laughing about it with blood still dripping off my face and we had a cig to celebrate that crazy **** :laugh.gif:

1. 300 to 500 dollars is a very high estimate. You can get going with a gun that shoots around 400 FPS for around 200 USD.
2. How is paintball cheaper than airsoft? How the hell does that work?
Cost of airsoft: Gun, plastic bbs, and green gas if you buy a gas gun (Or nearly nothing if you get a propane adapter), mags.
Cost of Paintball: Gun, paintballs (much more expensive than 6mm plastic bbs), nitrogen/co2/HPA tanks, tank refills, hoppers (mags).
Airsoft is infidelity cheaper than paintball. Though, personally I'd have to say that paintball is more fun. Oh, and the guns HAVE to be easier to take apart and fix than airsoft guns (Holy **** jesus springs, never take apart a AEG gearbox unless you KNOW what you're doing).
I do enjoy Watching Airsoft matches on youtube, because I am in Australia and it's illegal here, sadly, i am in the Airsoft Australia group though, trying to support when I can, but if it does become legal here, I will be heading for the WELL L96 Sniper and M9 berretta, but if i don't get the WELL L96 then I would be looking towards a Steyr AUG.

Not all paintball guns are made the same. And paintball guns get arenas. It's more of family fun .
Airsoft is OK, as long you get a good one. I got an alright one, But it's see-through and does not shoot that far.

I disagree. If I want realism, I'll buy real guns. I like paintball just to **** around with friends though.

Those suck. If you want to have fun with airsoft, you gotta get some $200 and up AEG...or spend like $150 on a good sniper.
Airsoft = littering. I find airsoft pellets littering my backyard due to my neighbours. It wouldn't be so bad if the pellets were biodegradable.

Yes, those ammo boxes are filled to the top. With .20s.
Yeah.
