AirSoft

[Hobbes88]

On saturday, i played my first game of air soft(is that how you spell it?). it was pretty cool. we played with uzi's, and it was like 5 on 5. the small problem was that we had to go back to our base once we ran out of our 40 ball clip, and i ended up trading guns with alot of dead people. tell me what you guys think of air soft

oh one more thing -- does anybody know if the AK's, MP-5's, and other goodies have bigger clips... i hope they do

um, yeah, I'm thinking you took a wrong turn...see in the top left hand corner of the screen where it says " p8ntballer.com" ? It doesn't say "airsofter.com" does it? Hmmm? Does it ??
No!

This is a paintball site.

Will somebody PLEASE ban air soft from this forum,its not paintball,it represents everything that paintball has fought to leave behind(para-military image,camo's,"playing soldiers" etc),and I for one find it "a bit suspect ".
I'm sure to some people its great fun as its very popular but the problems paintball has experienced with the whole gun debate are nothing compared to the potential storm from do gooders when they cotton on to full auto ,full size ,replica assault weapons being used and owned by players.
One other thing is the "ammo" used in air soft bio- degradable as the article I've read on it states that the "ammo" is plastic...are the sites ankle deep in the stuff ?

So how come they can go full auto, yet for paintball its illegal?

Not sure,but I don't think their air powered as they all seem to use a spring/motor system ,ask Garry and Barry

Something to do with projectile energy, which is a product of mass and velocity IIRC. Hotpoint will prolly know a bit more about this sort of thing than I.

I seem to remembr that airsoft guns can only be F/A if they use the 0.2g bb's, and don't go above something like 328fps, but those numbers could be way out of course.

Long story short. The energy level on Airsoft projectiles is so low they classify as toys not airguns and therefore fall outside Firearm Legislation

Nice to know that in legal terms Airsofters really are just kids with shiny plastic toys
