It's funny. Since I started back on '07, I bought what I would use, not really because it's "ooh shiny"!

 

I do have a selection, but nothing silly, and to many here rather sedate. I went through a shotgun phase, and had seven at one time (airsoft ones) but that was it.

 

I've owned

 

CA M4 CQB, got in 07 before VCRa

Warrior L96 fully pimped

TM sig 226 with guarder kit

Clone M500 gas shotty

Maruzen/airsoft surgeon M1100 shotty

Standard maruzen M100

Maruzen M870

Shorty clone M500

Wood clone M500

Marui spas 12 with folding stock

Another marui spas 12 with folding stock (had these at the same time)

Cyma M14

Cyma electro glock

VSR G spec (tuned)

Kj works glock 27

 

 

Sold the L96, shorty shotty, wood shotty, both m1100's, both spas', the 27 and elec glock.

 

I don't think that's a lot for 5 years play, and I've only sold the flocks as they don't really fit me.

 

Like I said, I buy guns to use, not to wall hang or 'because I can' :)

I've probably had hundreds of guns, I'm terrified to think how much it cost.

I had more than 50 at one point (rifles).

 

Eeesh.

 

I keep a running tab of my expenses on airsoft on my computer. I'm pretty sure I lose a couple days off my life expectancy every time I look at the total.

I just got back from my friends house.

 

He phoned me earlier, asking for a hand putting his gun into a metal body kit he bought. "No worries" says I, and popped round after lunch, expecting to assemble an armalite kit like I have a hundred times before.

 

He had bought the cheapest receiver he could find. Nothing fitted right. Copious filing was required.

 

 

 

You know what they say... A favour will kill you quicker than a bullet.

I see it a lot on here, folk with billions of guns.

 

It's not something I let get out of hand in my case, I didn't/don't have the disposable cash

 

I have only had about 7 at any one time, and a good 40 of mine where on a student budget :P

 

But still i can't see how people own more than 10, unless they are armourer for a team / hire out / are a true collector.

You should have a list like mine :P

 

Though at the end of the day how long have you been going and i know you have a fair bit of disposeable income, if i did i would have twice the pistols i do, until i moved to Aberdeen, not quite but still a bit airsoft dead zone.

I got the Walther MPL in 1989.

But don't forget that airsoft has only really taken off in the last 12 years.

When the P90 came out people couldn't believe that Marui brought out a new gearbox type after their (arguable) failure with the Uzi.

 

The recent explosion of chinese clones has been bonkers, it used to be that there were perhaps 5 shops you could use and four of them were in HK.

 

There has never been a better time to get into airsoft.

 

I also had:

Tanaka Japanese police special

Marui smython

HFC box cannon

 

And I'm sure there are more.

 

Kart EBR too

Nice plug there :P

 

But i think my annoyecne is my inability to just enjoy my money, now if most of you had £5,800 and knew that in a month you would get another £1,600 would you do something with it? Yeah well i still haven't, i even had to worry about paying for a small break to Paris, what is wrong with me?

I have lost the car charger for my phone (simple 12v socket USB adaptor). This is most infuriating, as I was planning on using my phone to actually get me to and from my new job, as I've never driven the route before.

 

Oh well. I'll either find it, or be very thankful I've got a spare battery!

Well thankfully by mine the fields were not used much for the things that required the excessive spread of manure. But no i am in the city it doesn't seem to change much. At least it isn't like my work, the smells coming from the effluent plant or the steam coming out from under the grates in the car park :P
