Who Here Plays Airsoft Or Paintball?

[TylerTurton]

The title practically asks the question.

If you're comfortable with posting your gear or pictures of it that'd be awesome. (Mainly airsoft)

What I got for airsoft so far:
Lancer Tactical M4
TSD M9 CO2 Gas
Condor Molle Plate Carrier (Black)
Mesh Skull Half Mask (Hopefully soon a Shemagh)
NC Star 1x45 Red Dot Sight
Full Uniform (ACU)

Please no rude comments on others gear, etc.

If you think airsoft and/or paintball is pointless and/or a waste of money then why'd you view this topic?

Never done airsoft but would love to. I usually paintball once or twice a year, more sometimes but it's rare I don't own any gear so I just get the standard stuff you rent. Paint balling is one of my favourite group activities for sure.

I did airsoft as I was the best man at my mates wedding and it was so awesome!!!

This is actually a brilliant idea for the next RaGEPARTY!


Anyway I've never done it, always wanted to do it, but never came of it. Personally I would love to get in the airsoft game, but sadly it's illegal to own the weapons here in the Netherlands. :S
But yeah, never went paintballing either, I need to do that at some point, me and some friends spoken about it before, but it's quite a bit of money and there is always something why we can't get enough people together to do it.

I always liked paintball - we used to play every Sunday but stopped about 2 yrs ago because people just stopped going.

I went paintballing for the first time 2 months ago. It was soo much fun!

 

[Kurokiri]

I have been playing paintball last year, it was very enjoyable!

I liked Airsoft but only played it once. Because the cost of the venue and equipments are such a pain in the pocket. Oh, and we played it without any vests and it felt good getting sprayed by an M41 in the back while lying down.

I tackled my friend after getting sprayed badly at the back. Because I already admitted I got hit and still he continued.

For what I heard also though, Paint Ball is way more expensive and painful.

I understand, it's way too expensive, but way too much fun.

I've honestly never been airsofting, I'm going tomorrow with a bud to the U.S. Got all this gear and didn't for for about 5 weeks, so depressing.

First time? Whaaa?!

Paintball hurts a lot, I can agree, but airsoft does too. Airsoft is a TON cheaper than paintball, in paintball you have to stay up-to-date with all your gear and be as competitive as possible especially when you get good, so it takes a lot more money, especially for paintballs. >.>

It's too much money, that's why. :')

I actually play Paintball with friends whenever I have time, I actually have my own stuff.
Don't have a picture on my pc right now. But this is my paintball marker:

Might get another one though pretty soon as I want to do a lot of modifying and that one is limited. But it's definitely a nice starting point .

I'd recommend Paintball to anyone really, it's a lot of fun, and a nice activity that isn't that expensive if you just invest with a couple of friends, and just get your own stuff.

Tippmann's are the way to go! You can upgrade almost everything on them, I had a Bravo One, similar to yours but without the stock.

I have a dangerous power G4 now, it's alright.

Paintball competitions are very expensive, I've actually never heard of one being cheaper than $100! Just make sure you have a lot of money saved for it.

Then you're one lucky guy. -.-

 

[Kurokiri]

Then you're one lucky guy. -.-

Because my country use MYR and MYR is cheaper than $ .. 1$ = 3.25 MYR

It's almost as if you stole the words right outta my mouth - these are all my exact thoughts!

I've wanted to get into airsoft for ages, but both airsoft and paintballing are both incredibly expensive.

As for clay pigeon shooting, I've done it and I'm poop. I've done quite a bit of shooting with cadets though, both full and small bore.

Frankly I'm ok with that, I wouldn't mind spending quite a bit of money on it if it wasn't for the fact that it's such a major hassle here. I mean if I could do it locally, keep my own weapons at home etc, then I would definitely go for it, but traveling to Belgium everytime, renting a locker etc, nah that ain't for me.

 

[Tyler]

Yeah, I understand. I don't even know where my local airsoft is.
