I have airsoft guns and used to go out and actually run around the woods with them too. After I heal up from my surgery (yes, I'm still a man), I may try and do it again.
But if you don't hang around people who airsoft, or frequent the sites, I'll shed a little light on things. You'll find just as many retards on an airsoft boards as you will say... here
Also, just because they play with toy guns, doesn't mean they are pro real guns. Posting about real firearms on an airsoft board will get your post deleted and you banned faster than posting Marpat here. Its the same thing with flight simulators and first person gun camera footage, saying it equates to murder. Yet, they'll get right back up and shoot shit down, or shooters. People on those particular boards will bitch about posts involving real world things, like blow away terrorists with the click of the mouse. And remember, winning an internet argument on the internet is like winning special olympics; In the end, you're still a retard.
My friends and I used to get decked out in some pretty cool stuff, paint our faces, and have fun. We'd upgrade our guns to a reasonable level, and yes, it might sting sometimes, but so does paintball (which I use to play too, and have a healthy collection of VM68s and parts). Mind you, we would so this well away from public, so no one could see us.
Its a fun time, but some people take themselves way to seriously. I will go back to the Heavy 6 fiasco. I don't sympathize... or empathize with him at all. He's a boob. If you don't wanna get attention drawn to yourself, then don't post fucking pictures of yourself on the internet.
