theavonlady 2 Posted May 21, 2002 Airsoft sounds terrific. I would make it a family event but I think there are far and few local areas for this here. FYI, I though you might be interested in this: http://www.camotech.com/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
christophercles 0 Posted May 21, 2002 I still dont get what they are, are they just simulation guns or something? because they have a huge range, it looks interesting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
R. Gerschwarzenge 0 Posted May 21, 2002 They are replicas of real guns and they shoot 6mm plastic pellets. Airsoft is said to be much more fun and not as much painful as paintball. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JAP 2 Posted May 21, 2002 Naaaah, it s an inside joke among paintballers ( same for lazergames ) You can t compare them. Â Paintball has evolved to a more non-militairy nature. Â It's all Sup' air now and games are very very quick and heavy. As for airsoft is more like IRL i figure, more stealth, more slower. Â Like to give it a go but .... they would laugh at me ... Â If you want i ll post a few cool P-ball links Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theavonlady 2 Posted May 21, 2002 From what I understand, it's much more serious than paintball. Also are tere ceramic bullets? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Â <span id='postcolor'> Most upgraded Airsoft sniper rifles use graphite coated 0.36g or 0.42g 6mm pellets, which darn hurt if u get hit by one. I have an MARUZEN APS2 OR which is modeled on the Steyr SSG. Its got a PDI 300% spring, bipod and Tasco 32mm 3~9x scope. Trust me, it was a bitch to get into Australia.

Killer Angel 0 Posted May 22, 2002 Sorry guys, I could never stand paintball. All those people runing around in blue/white/pink/whatever shirts...
