I started a sort of mini site on some old land not far from where i was living and a group of us used to have springer wars up there (as it was out of the way, we had no worries about people calling the police or feeling threatened by us). Started in 1998 and ArnieGeddon will be my first proper event.

U guys should really come down to Guernsey and have a little Skirmish with us. Most of us a pretty hardcore Airsoft fans. And if u can get it back into England, u can buy proper in the box straight from Marui guns too, and any upgrades u want, WITHOUT VAT and maybe a slight discount too, and man these guns i can get here are the cheapest ive seen.

Man.... don't ANY OF YOU'S think that y'all have enough guns to start a war?!!? EACH?

 

I was thinking of owning at least two skirmishable guns so me and a friend who might get interested, have a go. And I'll lend the friend a gun for a skirmish. Afew are interested, but can't afford it. Which is why I have an M3 shorty as it's simple and impossible to break lol. But the P-90 stays in my hands and MY HANDS ONLY...

The main reason like i said, that i got so many was that i borrowed them to people when they came to our mini battles. I supplied one rifle and one pistol to each peron (once had 20+ of us *Yikes!*)

 

Oh yeah, and they were all pretty cheap. Plus, i like collecting them.

I only included the gear I use... not what I have sitting around :P

 

Consumables... Damn.. I can't even begin think how many bb's I've used. With my RPK I littearly went through 2 bags for a day of skirmishing.

 

Also the number of mags I have is just bloody retarded.

Been on two skirmishes, came out less than I thought it would.

 

£350 was last week. Damn I love my free overdraft, I don’t get my student loan ‘til the start of term. :(

Oh god...I don't want to know.

 

Actually, when I buy something I often sell something else to get the cash so it's maybe not THAT bad. That said, snap purchases like that lovely little USP Compact I just stumbled across for £120 in AA can't have helped, and I just knew I'd end up spending loads when I first picked up that Thompson in AA.

 

In fact, AA Cannock is a death trap - every time I go in I end up buying something - this weekend it'll be a bloody £60 Web-Tex vest...

 

In all it must be well over £600-700...which is worrying as I've only been skirmishing for...ooh...6 months, and collecting airsoft stuff for 2 years. And I'm 15 now. Damn.

 

God help me when I go on study leave, and everybody pray for me (and I'm not religious :P ) when I get my student loan...food...accommodation? Who needs food and accomodation?!

That's kinda what I do, cause I don't wanna pile up a room full of airsoft gear.. If some guest enters my room they'll think I'm sort of terrorist!

 

Right now I've been meaning to get rid of the two Macs (which I have) but I ended up swapping it with an MP5K lol.... BRAND NEW too! :D

 

Wahooo, I don't belong in the big spenders catogory like SOME *COUGH*Antagon*COUGH*

I'm addicted to spending now too. If I don#'t buy SOMETHING every week, I'm in trouble basically. Hence me buying a £5.99 A-Team DVD just to sate my spend-lust!

 

I'll be on a chat show soon - watch out for "Airsoft ruined my life!"

TM G3 SG1, $600 USD

TM P90 RDS, $340 USD

Gear about $300 USD

Getting $300 USD in a couple of weeks, about $400 USD for birthday, and who knows how much for christmas.

 

so $1240 USD in all (which is conservative I think...)

This is plenty since I'm just turning 16 heh.
