Triggerhappychappy Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Was just looking around, learning everthing I can before eventually buying an actual airsoft gun- allbeit two tone since I dont /cant skirmish, just want a nice, reliablewithoutbeingstupidlyexpensiveorneedinglotsofupgradestolast, type of rifle ( M4 or something like that, those types all look the same to me ). More of a nice ornament that I can plink with occasionally, ya know? Anyway, sorry if its an old video or anything, it just made me chuckle a little bit. Link to post Share on other sites
L4byr1nth Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 You've been here almost three years and don't have an airsoft gun yet? Ben. Link to post Share on other sites
Triggerhappychappy Posted December 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Im a slow learner... EDIT: Truth be told, I get too easily distracted looking at everyone else's guns- so, so many, and so, so beautiful as is often the case. Just dont kick me out for being a 'watcher' instead of a 'player'... ;_; Link to post Share on other sites

spetsnazdave87 Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 So youve not been airsofting... youve just been sitting there... watching us for three years... *quietly goes to get his tinfoil hat...* Link to post Share on other sites

Triggerhappychappy Posted December 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 ^^ That. I dont drive, and the nearest site is... Bristol I think, or somewhere in that direction; sitting on a bus for 3-4 hours with all my kit in a bag, half a days skirmishing, then 3-4 hours to get home again... not my idea of fun. God forbid anyone wanted to look in my bag/ case either. Thing with airsoft (to me) seems to be that its as much about getting the look of your loadout right, as much as it is actually using it- ofcourse Stealthbomber would disagree with that and say this aint no fashion parade, which I would agree with too. I am a noisy lurker though, thats about as accurate as a description as any; I just avoid asking too many noobish questions in favour of reading lots & trying to take it all in.

Skarclaw Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Not really, I mean, I don't skirmish neaaaaarly as much as I'd like to (maybe 3-5 times a year at the moment!) mainly due to not being able to drive, but there is definatly a difference between stuff you see on forums and you see at skirmish sites, sure they are geardos, but there are also alot of guys with big tasco scopes fitted to g36cs with 2 hicaps clipped together, which you rarely see posted on forums.

Abelius Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 The image you get on forums is definately a completely different world. Link to post Share on other sites

L4byr1nth Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 Forum-goers represent the hardcore element of airsofters - it's no surprise a good few of them are gear whores. http://www.airsoftmap.net/UK/Skirmish Airbana reckons there are quite a few sites near you, mate.

Triggerhappychappy Posted December 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 Ah, cheers Ben. I've seen UCZ paintball on the way into TragoMills (Newton Abbot) many a time, never realised they had an airsoft venue near Exeter. Over the summer I may well have to drop by just to observe a few games, then decide if its for me or not- CQB settings indoors and outdoors kinda negates the idea I had for some kind of DMR / sniper-esque setup, though... we'll see. Thanks again. Link to post Share on other sites
L4byr1nth Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 Hehehehe if you roadtrip over to Brighton any time soon, give us a shout! Elite Action Games Worthing is an awesome woodland site, and if you need any kit, I'm pretty sure I have enough to cover it Ben. Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Then move lol. you never know you may have a flair for the indoor action, i thought i was a sniper, now a pistol only player. As for the video, meh, seen before. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks again. 90% of newbs go into airsoft thinking they're snipers. not many stick with it if you get something like an M14 you have the best of both worlds, excellent range and accuracy plus semi/full auto. that way, bolt a scope to it, stay on semi and see if you enjoy it as much.
