Well, I can't right click, but my mousewheel still works fine. Apart from the fact that it's on geoshitties and I had to wait a while before I could access it, that website is great! Good read, and some of it's information could be used in OFP bunker addons. If OFP2 supports underground tunnels, this would be a great addon resource.

After today's experience though , I think I just might buy a paintball gun when i have some cash to spare. It would definitely be a Tippman 98 - I've mentioned before that this was my gun of choice in Delerium Tagball, and it was also the gun we all used today. Even though the guns obviosly saw a lot of usage and weren't much to look at, they worked amazingly well, I only had one "jam" and that was due to the fact that they didn't tighten the CO2 canister all the way (for easy replacement) and the damn thing came out just enough to stop firing but not enough that I'd notice right away...I had to empty and then completely remove my loader in the heat of a firefight before I realized that a jammed ball inside the gun was not the problem :P. From what I've read in their forums, the Tippman 98 is also very easy to upgrade.

*edit* Tippman 98 Custom, exactly like the one I used today (except for the optics):

When you buy a paintball gun, the Co2 canister comes with it. You can easily get it refilled at any paintball field worthy of the name, usually free of cost (the paintballs themselves are where they make their money)

not true...

paintball guns are completely legal now, nor do u need a license for it now. smile_o.gif

as long if you're older than 18.

"Luchtbuksen" are legal as well, nor do you need a license for it, but you have to be at least 18.

Ima get a M40A1, since it looks like an air sports rifle. biggrin_o.gif

the trajectory is very flat imo... and very accurate compared to a stock Tokyo Marui M4A1 :P

Blah, 47 pages on toys, simunitions are the best...but I don't know if it's available to civilians. You can use real guns with them, and best of all they hurt like hell.

Last thing i heard you even needed a permit for a highpowered nailgun biggrin_o.gif

I thought you had to have one of those bright red barrels on any real looking "Weapon" ? smile_o.gif Makes it look stupid. Besides me buying a real looking gun might freak out the girl friend, i've been known to be able to accidentally injure myself while doing anything (DIY time is especially fun wink_o.gif )

Having done some research about wheter or not airsoft is illegal in the netherlands i came to this conclusion. Its not illegal however any airsoft weapon which is not easily recongnisable as fake is. The realistic models are all banned. So that sorta drains the fun out of it. The dutch airsoft club is lobbying to have the law changed to have the guns made legal. I am not optimistic they will get anywhere with that. Shame sad_o.gif

Simunitions are a lot of fun - when they aren't exploding prematurely in the chamber. I missed out on shooting some SF guys because of that. mad_o.gif
