Default Airsoft anyone?

Just sending the feelers out to see if anyone around here is into Airsoft? Im not talking about the el cheapo stuff you get at Wal-mart either. If so holla at a brotha and see if we can get some skirmishes hooked up!

Dude.... 465 fps chronoed with a Systema turbo motor, full titanium piston,175% prometheus spring and .25 heavy bbs in my SR-16 rifle. 360 fps in my Mp5 SMG with a 120% spring.

plus they both fire at over 850 rpm.

here is a video of what these guns actually do...(with a 11v lipoly)

Interesting, dunno, I would rather play paintball though

Full auto guns pretty much just waste paint, or in your case, bb's. That and the games are shorter and less fun.

yea i can see your point. Least in paintball you can tell who gets hit. Airsoft you cant tell whos hit until you take your shirt off while your in the emergency room getting the pellets removed.

I made the mistake one day of stupidly shooting myself in the hand. Needless to say it took me an hour and a lot of oragel to dig the bbs out and I have a hell of a scar. Thank God the battery was only half powered and I had a jam.

needless to say these arent toys and i would never think of shooting someone with one unless they really deserved it.
