Totally depends on who you play with, but if you play orginized here in Norway it shouldn't be a problem at all. Only thing that has ever hurt me was when I got a 550fps sniper bb on the tip of my ear. However the pain is brief and goes over pretty quickly even then. Its not like paintball where you go all sour the rest of the week ;)

Nope, you usually don't feel when the bb hits execpt when it hits bare skin and even then it doesn't hurt much. Unless it is on the tip of your nose of course ;) Also the weapons look and feel like real guns espcially when you change the plastic body (which btw doesn't feel childish either) with a metal body. Plus the weight of the guns are almost exactly the same as the real ones. That alone makes it not childish as you are playing with according to Norwegian law is weapons and nobody under 18 are allowed to even touch them unless they have persmissions from the local policechief and NASF. ;) Also the cost varies depending on what kind of stuff you want. If you just want a gun, a few mags and a uniform it will probably run you between 2000-3000kr, but if you want to go all out as myself included you will be spending around 5000kr+ on just the gun. The cost of what I have done with the gun isn't really necessary though and you can have as much fun as the people with 20000kr+ kits with your 2000kr kit.

Sorry placebo, habit ;) Anyway anyone else looking forward to the AK74M from ICS this march?

All I can say is thumbs up Only thing that got me though was that it slowed down a little right before the finish, but that's just a minor thing anyway

First have you any idea what the chances of becoming a Special Forces Operator are? Quiet small and that is even when you try your very best. But before you even get this chance you have to go through years upon years of hardwork and training just to get that small chance to become a SFO. Now consider that most of the people that play airsoft are between the ages of 18-26. This fact will also not help you become a SFO as you are deemed too inexperienced with soldier life to be allowed to even try to become a SFO. Airsoft is the quick way to becoming a SFO for a few days in the year and without all hassel of having some officer over you telling you what to do. And you get to choose all of your own gear and weapons without hassel as well as there is no standard weapon to be used. I take it that you have never played an orginized airsoft game and have no idea about the adrenaline that starts pumping when you are storming the bunker of some enemies and everything is going completely haywire. Its an experience you won't have as an real SFO because you would be more worried about keeping your and your squadmates a live. And it is an experience that you will never get while playing a video game as you aren't sitting right in the middle of it and you know nothing can go wrong execpt that you might have to reload a few times. Most of the people playing airsoft have huge respect for the real SFOs because they, afterall, put their life on the line so that we don't have to. Also a lot of airsoft people would like to become real SFOs, but because of, for example, lung problems or bad sight we have no chance at all to become one. Airsoft is the solution. Some people also just play airsoft so that they can get a chance to get ahold of the weapon of their choice because in a lot of countries, espcially Japan where airsoft started, the law forbids the use and owning of pistols,shotguns, rifles, sub-machine guns, assault rifles and so forth. Most countries don't have the laws that the US has when it comes to weapons and so airsoft has turned out to be the solution for a lot of people wanting to have realistic looking weapons without breaking the law. So in short, airsoft is a hobby and a sport that alot of people like because of the adrenaline and the fact that you don't have to go through all of the training just to be allowed to "play" ps, definition of sport: An activity involving physical exertion and skill that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often undertaken competitively. So yes airsoft is an sport.

Would think so seeing how there are already a major thread regarding airsoft ;) http://www.flashpoint1985.com/cgi-bin....t=24256

Here goes my list of people. Not complete at all since there are just too many great and talented people in the OFP community. Tigershark - The main man who let me stay with OFPEC way back when and now the master of BAS snYpir - All around good guy and a great scripter Jonno - Great friend in any situation and a really good modeller Backoff - For being an amazing mp mission maker Bojler & Cervo - For running ofp.info and hosting my site (which I haven't updated in two years...) ahm & beaknuke - For running flashpointarena.com and hosting my site before ofp.info ;) Radiosilence - For being a really talented writer who always wanted to help people with stories. Plus a bunch more. The list is just too long to write. Would probably go over the maximum 1024000 character lenght of a post if I were to mention everyone ;) So in short: A big thanks to everyone for just being here and doing something. Every little piece of work makes this community the best one out there.

Been playing is since the demo came out too. Didn't join up with the community until the main release of the game. Hadn't it been for OFPEC I don't think I would have been around still.

ShadowY got that in wallpaper size? Because that picture is just amazing

Sorry if I have posted this before, but to be honest I don't feel like going back through the 330 pages to find out ;)

Bad things happen when you don't listen to the riot police
