PC Plum Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 Well I tried this Airsoft thing for the first time last week at some old RAF base in Cambridgeshire. I mean talk about being Juvenile. Grown men and women running about shooting each other with little plastic pellets, throwing smoke about and chucking pea filled grenades. Most Normal people would have grown out of this sort of behaviour by their late teens, never mind doing it in their 30's & 40's. Anyway Now that I've tried CQB I'll give woodland a go, just to make sure it's the same. And if it is I'll steal some funds from the Mrs and go and be juvenile with the rest of you, Because it's the most FUN I've had in years! Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Jebus Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 Well, You Neeeearly got reported, but I'm glad to see you liked it Link to post Share on other sites
Lance Jackass Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 I don't see anything childish about it. It's escapism from what would be a very boring life. If you were serious all the time, then what would the world be like? It's good that we step back for one day every so often and just enjoy ourselves without caring what others think.

doc_newstead Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 Pfft, you're just bitter because you got passed over for promotion again LJ. Now if you don't mind, I've got to practice my gas drills in the spare bedroom. Link to post Share on other sites
jaeger0416 Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 In case you didn't notice, the guy was gleefully sarcastic :-) And, hey, hows airsoft that much different than say, boxing? Or water polo? Middle aged guys do that too...haha... The whole "kids playing with guns" stigma kind of sucks...but, eh, duties of the lives we lead. Link to post Share on other sites

Donk Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 Airsoft? Bah! Do what normal adults do. Spend your spare time sitting in an armchair and watching Deadenders while smoking cigarettes and drinking cans of cider. Link to post Share on other sites
