Ah, good times. My old church group used to get together and all 14 of us would go play against each other in epic capture the flag battles. This one guy we knew had a lot of forest property and we built bunkers and sniping spots all in those woods. My best friend and I were beasts. We'd sneak in and wipe out everyone. It was awesome. We used cheap guns from dikes and Wal-Mart, or sometimes online. My best gun had like 500 FPS.

I airsoft when I have time to do so.

A lot of fun to play with people who are trained as soldiers in military, and know how to act as part of team.

If you think lying about being hit in airsoft is bad, I use to run around with sticks and cap guns with the neighborhood kids, there was some real bad lying back then

I don't know how powerful airsoft weapons people use. But players around here go minimum for 1.0 joule to 1,8 joule for airsoft assault rifles. And more for
snipers. (which are useless if you know how to maneuver).

And I can say when it hits you. Well, clothing might have something to do with it, but usually you only have underwear and fatigues plus combat gear, So only time
you might not feel it is when you are hit into the gear, and even then you can still hear the pops.

Are there any airsoft guns people would like to get at all? I myself would love to have an M60 or something, and I think an A & K one isn't all that expensive as you would think.

It's really fun. and I love it...
I've got a Colt M4 AEG, with a foregrip and 150 capacity magazine...
The only thing I don't like about it is that it's too easy to cheat

I love airsoft!!! With a large group of friends it's nearly as much fun as paint-ball and it costs just a fraction of the price

Could've guessed that one. And any type of gun, too.

Reading this thread put a smile on my face, I considered it a while back and I've a friend who does it but I've never had the chance to try it out for myself. Maybe I should get round to finding a place near south Buckinghamshire, eh? ^_^

I played a few times, have a G36c.

As a relative amateur though I found there to be a bit of poor sportsmanship from a few of the more experienced guys. It seemed that since they had alot of fancy and expensive replica gear they thought they could start taking liberties. Not taking hits, not walking all the way back to the respawn, using newer members as bait etc... Apparently forcing a new player to walk along loudly in the foliage to draw enemy fire is considered a fun and suitable first time experience. I don't think I ever saw that guy again...

It wasn't like they were having a laugh either, they were just genuine wankers.

Its fun...when its fair.

How do you think this is: 1 against 3. Sound bad for the one guy? Not when he has full body camo gear and a gas M4 against us with normal summer clothing and cheap walmart pistols. <_<
Plus he had a bad ego and the one time we beat him(rushing at same time...ouch) the next time we played in the woods behind his place he'd left booby traps(rat traps). :stare:

But when you play with good people its almost always a good time.

Depends on the group, we had experienced guys who played with us with good replica gear but were complete elitist. They weren't apart of the Airsoft Louisville founders. We have red rags, you get hit you pull out your death rag, call "hit", and then place it on your head and wait to respawn(5 minutes and you walk off the field to the graveyard) or someone can walk up to you, and tie a blue ribbon around your arm and you have been medic'd everyone can be a medic etc. If someone sees you getting hit over and over and you don't call it we just yell "Hey you realize you're being hit" because with all the gear there have been times I was getting hit on my back but with my camelbak I couldn't feel or hear it, someone just let me know. In all my years of playing with large groups we very rarely have problems. Every now and then we get a new guy who doesn't want to comply with anything in which our founding members just ask them to leave if not go to the owner of where we play and they get banned.

If you have a good group and place to play Airsoft can be so much more fun then just running around the woods by your house.
