WhutJP Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 I feel like im 10 years old on christmas eve and I know my parents got me something good this year. Its there, it exists! the only thing that separates me and it is time! time forced upon me by higher powers, designed purely to torment and agonise me! I'm trying to distract myself with anything: reading, computer games surfing the internet, even house work but none of it works! gah! All I can do is glance at the clock every two minutes and wail "waaat!? only two minutes since i last looked? dammit! time, hurry up!" I have a delivery on the way, two deliveries in fact. one is a new gun, the other is bits to go with it. both will likely arrive today, sometime between 6pm and 8pm. (delivered by the same company - though the orders are from two different shops - so i can assume they will arrive together). So, here I am at 4pm agonising and waiting, not even sure if they will arrive today. I'm going to have a good weekend playing around with the new gun, writing a review, taking pictures, clearing my apartment of bad guys over and over again. I can't wait. I love airsoft.

dinj Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 Watching your mate run down a hill screaming with a 249 hip firing, and laughing your *albartroth* off as you see 3 opposing team members clearing out. He always gets to borrow the the teams' 249's now. Link to post Share on other sites

Cannonfodder80 Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 One that I've found never gets old. At my regular site we have to share with paintballers, and it allways makes me laugh when their rentals turn up, see us with AEGs etc and start thinking "ooh those look nice," only to be handed something that looks like it was knocked together from spare parts from B&Q. The look on their faces is priceless Link to post Share on other sites
Hedganian Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 Turn them away from the Dark Side with the promise of shiny AEGs and things. Link to post Share on other sites

The look on their faces is priceless We're not allowed to have ANY AEG's on display when walking past the paintball bit at my local, as it distracts the licenses to print money... er I mean the paintball rentals...

scorch Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 Getting kissed and groped when being medic'd. My girlfriend's first time, she kinda got into it well. (Shame she was wearing birdpoo-multicam though. Will sort out some DPM for her next time.) Link to post Share on other sites
ED-SKaR Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 Shotguns CQB Meeting your 'softer friends for the first time in ages Shotgunning in CQB Shooting your 'softer friends in CQB with a shotgun Getting shot by your 'softer friends in CQB Getting shot in CQB* Going to a courier depo that has been paid to take something to my door but refuses to believe my house exists ¬.¬ and eventually by assosiation loving the office because it means you just baught something cool . Loving the letters from customs asking for proof of defence, just because i know what to do in that situation and so many dont (even regular 'softers!) AND because it means i just baught something cool. *you actually feal the hits, i hate woodland because i cant feal the hits so i get accused of cheating if i get shot in my back and don't see the BBs flying into me.

RWJP Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 Patrolling towards an objective, no contacts, sounds of AEG fire in the distance, absolutely still and calm... And then all of a sudden you here the alert "contact front" and hit the deck, firing a few rounds off to keep the enemies head down. Then hearing the order to give covering fire as one fireteam moves forward an lobs a grenade into the enemies position. That's such an awesome feeling. Link to post Share on other sites
Counting Count Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 standing ankle deep in a stream with a couple o' serving, a 'softer and another ex server blatting rounds at a sanger, wondering what the hell your doing as round whip across the top and wondering why you took that Medical Discharge... you don't think you dont "play" you act and react, later you chat over the forums / in the Pub over a jar or two.

jay bee Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 I love the general camaraderie, I used to paintball a lot and that's not really so friendly. I love how in airsoft after a game both teams chat, laugh, and share moments. Other than that, the milsim aspect is great fun, again to compare it to paintball, if I'd yelled "enemy front" on my old paintball site no one would've known what the hell I was talking about. It's great when everyone is playing tactically and it all comes together. There's also a weird sadistic pleasure to being completely cut down by automatic fire from several AEGs!

Ferrarilove1 Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Getting out of the house for a few hours on the weekend, hanging out with some friend whilst shooting some more friends. The tacticalness of airsoft is defiantly a plus, and our weapons look realistic. Link to post Share on other sites
Optomis Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Has to be the friendships you make and how much fun it is to go in storming a base full force with your allies by your hip while rounds wizz past your head, pyros go off in the distance and you spray some cover fire back their way. The adrenaline rush is great, I love it. Link to post Share on other sites

MadJakkle Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Agree with the parcel receiving, thats one of the best parts! I think the whole making "new" friends part to me though is the best bit, even better when after a couple of months playing you're invited into an already well established team. It's also a hobby that my girlfriend has which makes it even better as it give us both something to do on a weekend (when we're not doing other naughty stuff not suitable for the board) Link to post Share on other sites
