Hello, My name is Jesse. I am 25 years of age, I live in Portland Oregon. I work at a local Airsoft retail shop, as a Gun technician, Sales manager, Network admin, website manager, and IT guru.. ok so basically I do everything around here. I like to fix and build stuff, especially stuff with lots of small expensive parts(this may explain why I end up doing everything) I am a gear freak, I constantly buy new internal and external parts for my gun(and everythign else I own) even if I don't get to use it often(work dictates I don't get to see as much action as id like) The whole process of working on my gun is easily as fun as shooting it. I also enjoy building PC's, graphic design, web design, WH40k, WOW, and many flavors of beer. I am obsessed with starwars, darth vader is my hero. Do I want a lightsabre? YES! Do I wish to combine starwars and airsoft? NO! im pretty sure that would be.. wrong. I own a CA M15A4 Tactical Carbine that is my baby, I have added the CA RIS , King arms flattop rail /w rear sight, OD rail covers/vertical grip/stock, and a G&P aimpoint replica reddot. Inside I have added an m120 spring, Systema air nozzel, systema Cylinder head, Systema POM piston head /w bearing, CA Bearing Spring guide, KM Head Tightbore barrel and a custom built 9.6v 4300mah NiMh battery. Currentl;y it pushes a little over 425fps and 1320rpm(22 rounds a second) 10,000 rounds later its still kickin on a stock CA piston, ill probably replace it soon. next on my list is a bigout H hop up, sector chip, and a prometheus hard bucking. I hope to learn somethign and give somethign back to this community in the near future.

Hello my name is James I'm currently 13 and I own an M16A1. I currently have been airsofting for 3 years.
I am a squad leader for a team called RAD which is Recon Atack/Assult Division. I am currently ready to hire new members to my team and if you want to be on one let me know by PM. I plan to join the U.S. Army and make it as a Oceanographer(one who studies the ocean/marine life). I know many things about airsoft and will be honored to tell you the basics. I don't call my self an expert because I don't know everything and neither does anyone else.

Our team is looking for a SAW gunner, medic, grenadier and will also hire more rifleman and assult troopers.

Been playing Airsoft since 2002, bought my first AEG in 2003. My friends and I formed a team up this year, and we are based out of the Northern/Central Virginia Area.

My loadout consists of my primary field weapon, AEG for CQB, and a backup pistol-
TM VSR G-Spec rifle upgraded to 500 FPS
CA MP5A2 w/ lighted forearm and full stock - Stock gun 290 FPS
KWA KP8 USP .45 GBB Pistol - OD Green frame.

I'm very interested in this sport, I like the MP5 guns, and I'm learning more and improving my sniper game, which I enjoy- and am fully aware of the issues surrounding it.

I've been reading these boards for a while now, just never signed up- never needed to post, but now that I'm learning more about gun work, upgrades, and accesories, I've found the need to start asking questions.

Everything I've read on these boards has been quality- so I'm looking forward to swapping intel with you all.

Hey guys, good to be here. I'm a newbie to airsoft, the only airsoft guns I've owned have been very cheap springers which broke fast, but I am planning on buying an AEG very soon and I'm interested in going to some Airsoft games. I live in Nottingham, in the United Kingdom.

Good to be here!

Hey there I'm the Son of Thor, well one of the many great decendance. I'm assuming that is where my namesake comes from. Anyway, just recently I have been given the chance to mess with Airsoft and I caught on right away. I love it and want to learn more about it. I have a few spring and electric guns and I'm looking into getting some full metal gas guns.
I have a group of friends who seem to be interested in it as well since we all basically found out about the sport at the same time with the exception to one of us who showed us the light.

Paisley Pirate

A ne'er do well from an early age, Paisley survived by running a betting racket on how much faster one stalk of wheat would grow than another... later it was found that he rigged the betting with Miracle Gro.

About this time, he developed an affinity for weapons of all sorts (mostly because of a big mouth, a bigger intellect, and no self control) and also the fact that he was usually the youngest (and also smallest) member of his class in school.

Took to saving the environment at an early age by recycling old Playboys and selling them to friends... this was how he could afford all the bling on his customized purple bicycle (some sort of import that could outrun everyone else, for fear of being beaten...) This racket was stopped by his parents, even after they found the money that came from it...

About this time, Young Paisley discovered both firearms and the martial arts, studying aikido and kendo heavily, and both hunting with a .22 and shotgun, and iron target shooting, competing in age groups up to 4 years younger than he really was due to his unexplainable lack of growth for several years... making him look like a 5th grader in a class of seniors in his high school... Why seniors? Well, all the numbers rackets he ran made him a mathematical genius, being extremely gifted in the art of mathematics and in sciences... why in one test that consisted of 200 questions, he only missed 1, that being what 9+11 equalled....

Unfortunately, his gift with numbers did NOT translate into the world of writing... you see, Paisley Had (has) a terrible secret... he's dyslexic. And sometimes it appeared even when messing with numbers...

Truant officers and social workers continued to try to bring him to civilized society to little avail. They tried to make sure that he was well rounded and educated... to their peril. Seems he kept taking all the knowledge they could give him, just to use it to twist against them at every turn. Finally, when he was a senior in high school, the diabolical chemicals he had conceived of and taken years before either wore off, or he figured it was time to quit playing the punk kid and grow up... besides, it kept getting harder to get a date when his face was smoother than most of the girls...
So, he grew 9 inches in one year... and began taking his revenge on all the bullies... for by that time, he had gained a large sum of knowledge in various fighting skills, and was willing to use them...

Finally, they threw him out of the little high school where he had plotted and schemed with such great success, so disgusted they were with him, they gave him a diploma just so he COULDN'T come back... and he was at a loss as to where to go next. He had had a dream to go on to some place where he could get his hands on ever more powerful weapons... some place like the Naval Academy... but, alas, some punk grocery store produce department weasel boy beat him out by one point in the highly competitive testing... then went one day and came home crying like a NancyBoy... that our anti-hero had to find another way to get his hands on ultimate destruction... finally (by a huge amount of brute force hacking of some mainframes) getting his hands on a full ride scholarship in the Army ROTC program at one of the more odd state universities in the known world... There he studied hard, at girls... and games, and then he found his passion...

Fencing. Yes, our Paisley found his destiny as a swordfighter... a dandy, a swashbuckler, and a threat to all campus crusaders who dared to entreat on the commons yard of the school whilst he and his goon squad practiced. Also about this time, he formed a great group of alliances that play out until this very day with men and women of power and integrity (in other words, he still has the negatives!) and learned there was more to the world than just petty rackets and schemes...

He also grew an amazing 6 more inches in college, to tower over the punks and bullies, who now when they see him, smile and say, "Sir."

He also found his second passion, Airsoft! He found a Daisy Softair gun, and along with his gang of hoodlums, terrorized a huge number of people with their swagger and shooting and mayhem. This lasted a while, but slowly dwindled away, as the better guns just weren't available then.

Sword fighting continued to drive his life. Through ingenious cover stories for jobs, he continued to look fairly respectable, even landing a wife and having a couple of kids (that he is willing to claim...) Then tragedy struck... financial ruin and heartbreak... so he kept up the sword fighting, and kept on winning events, driven by his anger and bloodlust. That was about the time he got his pirate ship, the Persephone, and ran it with an iron fist to this very day.

About 3 years ago, several of this dastardly pirates' crew found airsoft guns again... he remembered with glee his Daisy, even finding it in the drawer where he had lovingly left it years ago... pulling it out, and shooting the first Leutenant in the ding-ding... just because he could... ah yes, shooting skills are fun indeed.

A gifted and talented worker of all things mechanical, he has been known to rebuild guns from a bag of parts, "for fun!" working on all kinds of guns, just because, and generally shooting the crap out of anyone not on his team in airsoft battles (and sometimes, even his own side if they don't give the countersign quick enough... )

His fits of psychotic rage seem to fit well with this hobby (fencing, too, imagine that) and his well educated brain is just slick enough to woo the women and keep one step ahead of the law...

Fear this psychotic monster if you should ever face him... he'll cut your heart out and laugh while doing it... then explain to you where your block failed, and demand to do it again, and again, until you get it right!

He'll shoot your eyes out from 50 paces (with iron sights) and draw a happy face on your belly with his
Aikido Rifle... then gleefully laugh when you realize he's been in plain sight the whole time, with advanced alien technology light folding camo...

...........

The son of a retired social worker, in real life, Paisley Pirate is a mild mannered manager for a multi-national company, who also is a certified fencing instructor. He has trained in various martial arts, and also with real firearms.

His college training was in aeronautical engineering, with a background of automobiles (family run garage) and also a weird hobby of political science.

He has been married twice, divorced once, has 2 children (girls, who both play airsoft, too)

He plays competitively with rapiers in the SCA in every kingdom but at home (because his home lies in the ONLY kingdom in the SCA where they don't play with rapiers... go figure) and has been recognized for his work with teenagers in teaching the Art of Defense, and encouraging them to better themselves and their world.

He's been a Mod here for almost a year, and loves to help new people out, to encourage our hobby to grow.

(and he likes to talk about himself in third person a lot...)

PS, everything I wrote above is true... just embellished slightly... you figure out where...

PPS, Oh darn! I forgot the part about marrying my own sister... to her new husband! heheh

CPT FETT

Hey guys, I'm new around here, live in Texas and just went out and bought my first airsoft last night. I'm 25, just got engaged, and am working a lot more these days, so I haven't had the chance to take my real toys out to the range twice a week like I used to. I picked up a Crossman AEG. It looks like a fixed-stock MP5, but with a 7.62NATO sized mag. I think it's the R72 model, which is no doubt viewed as a beginer's gun. It's a blast for indoor plinking, and 6mm bb's are a lot cheaper than brass and range fees. I never thought I would spend more money on an airsoft than a regular firearm, but I'm sure I'll want to move on to something more expensive and upgradeable soon. Nice forum.

Wow, there have been many people joining the forums recently and I hope you all enjoy your stay and get to know more about airsoft.


Welcome, but next time, please don't caps lock everything because it's annoying and hard to read. It looks like your flaming too even though I know your not purposely doing that.


Just want to say welcome and congratulation on getting engaged.

Thanks man, I just hope the new airsoft gun doesn't turn into a money pit hobby like my past hobbies.

Missed this thread the first time around so here we go!

I came over here a few months back when Arnie's cut out. I've pretty much packed up and left Arnie's now (because it's gone to sh*t over the past year, frankly) so perhaps I'll make ASF my new home, heh.

I'm an airsofter of about 5 years (skirmished for 4, I'd say), and a complete and utter gear wh*re. I love gear. No, seriously.

I founded Team SNAFU (see my sig) just over a year ago. We now have about 60 members, including a number of members on here (and, indeed, a couple of mods on here...).

I'm from the UK, and I don't want to stay here much longer (anyone from the USA willing to take me in? ). Go figure.

So, glad to make your aquaintance

Oh, and my avatar is of me. Says it all, really.

Hi, I'm Adam and I'm 14 years old and I just moved to Rockwall, Texas and theres finally an Airsoft field near me, since there never was when I lived in Rhode Island.. I've sort of been lurking around these forums on and off for the last year, since I joined last November. Anyway I figured I would try to get into the sport since I convinced my parents to let me get a GBB last Christmas and since then I've wanted to play on a real field. Anyway, I hope I can hang around for a while and get to know some people since right now I have no friends here, being halfway across the country and all.

Hey everybody my names Ben, im 16 and I just joined your forum and thanks guys for all the great info! well I just got my first airsoft gun about 2 weeks ago and ive got 3 friends ive been playing with and so far im really getting into it. and by looking around on the net at whats out there I can c were alot of money im going to waste is going well thanks guys for a great forum!

Hey everyone my names jose.

my call sign is DeathMetal AS, I love metal and AS stands for airsoft obiously

Ive been into airsoft for about half a year, I started out using loaners and rentals until I finally purchaed my CA SAR offizers m41, thanks to the reviews it got on this forum and its aggressive appearance it was a no brainer. My other gear includes a Guarder Mod II vest with 2 molle mag pouches so far. and the generic BDU pants and long sleeve shirt.

One of the things ive noticed about airsoft is alot of guys go nuts customising with accesories and what not, my other love being racing and working on muscle cars ive gotten use to not making soemthing be "all show no go", thats soemthing more associted with the ricer kid scene. So im pretty simple when it comes to the look of my AEG as long as it runs good I don't care how pretty it looks.


Other than that im 24, I play drums work on cars and like to go out and have fun in a responsible manner , everyone on this forum appears to be very mature and honorable and I look forward to becoming a better player and learn more about the sport, thanks

hi, my real name is mark. my profile name is Capt. Camo because I use it on all the forums I join, I love camo and military stuff, and that's my callname in airsoft.
I started airsoft when my friend brought over the idea and showed me his MP5. that was three years ago. I'm not really part of any offical airsoft groups or any thing, but I take airsoft very seriously. I made my own team, though very small. my team name is called Team Victor, The Bearkillers. Our motto is Semper Victor (always winner).

My family has a very large military backround. some of my great-uncles were in the Army, my grandpa (mom's side) was in the army, my grandpa (dad's side) was in the navy, my parents were both in the Airforce. I really like the marines. my great uncle chuck was in the marines. he got shot in war (Nam?) but lived to tell about it. I want to continue my family service and join the mairnes.

my other interests are the show LOST (the best!), military, and airsoft.

Semper Fi and Semper Victor!

Hi, All! I'll be short with my intro: Not only am I brand spankin' new here, I'm also new to Airsoft. I got my first gun last weekend, a GBB Beretta (hope I said that right), then proceeded to have a blast "playing" for three days with the guys while visiting in Wisconsin. I can see why this sport is so addicting and am looking forward to lurking around here to learn more.


Now I'd like to find where we can go to shoot in Indiana or possibly Michigan.

Hello, My name is Michael, I've been looking into airsoft for about a year, but haven't really had the financial means seeing as I had just "struck out" on my own, But I bought my first gun a few days ago, I got a tippmann K400. I figure I'll start with a sidearm and go from there.

I'm really looking for a park or somewhere I can play. I'm still looking but if anyone knows of a good place in central ohio I'd appreciate it.

Oh and I've been using this handle for around 7 years, since I was 13, no real story just cameup with it one night on the computer, so now I use it for everything computer/game related.

New Member here just found this site from a search and it looked pretty nice so I thought I would join up. I was just trying to find a way to remove my flash hinder (to use a silencer add on I just bought) and found the answer here.

I'm from Colorado and I'm fairly new to airsoft but I started off with a spring MP5 and then moved up to a CA M15A4 Carbine.

I'm 26 and currently working as IT support for a small company. I'm hoping to get my friends to buy a gun as well.

Yo, im Greg aka Secret Agent Man. I am a sniper in training for Bull_Dogz unit 19.
I am relatively new to airsoft any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Hello! My name is Tyler. My screen name is tylerman because it is a nickaname my parents gave me when I was 3. I am now 14 years old and have been playing airsoft for about a year now. I have only low end springers but all of my freinds are upgrading to TM guns so I am soon getting my first aeg, a CA M15A4 rifle. Anyways I play drums in a (kinda) band and I listen to mainly deathmetal/metalcore. I have a myspace which is myspace.com/deathmetalmaniac. My aim screen name is Doogrom. Oh and I forgot to mention that I was on a paintball team for 3 years before I got into airsoft. I also really like aquariums and fish. Thanks for taking the time to read this!

hey, my name is branflakes, real name: bryan vanunen. My bro is on this website, known as Capt. Camo. My friend is also on this website named EliteRico. I joined this website because I was getting more interested in airsoft and my bro and friend already joined, so now I am on! Hello!

Hey guys,

Just wanted to drop a message and say hello to everyone. I'm new to airsoft but I've always wanted to get into it. I finally saved up enough and for about $500 I've purchased my first guns:

Classic Army G36
G&G UMG
Tokyo Marui G36C

I'm a big fan of HK weapons and love the G36/G3 design. More than anything, I really love CQB action and for that reason the MP5 as well. There are a few little quirks about the CA36 and the G&G UMG that I hope to resolve through the help of this forum as I do not yet have the knowledge to properly perform maintenance on the guns so I am ready to learn. Anyways I'll end it here. I hope to learn a lot from you all.

Thanks!

I just noticed this introduction thread today so at the risk of being boring I will give you a rundown on who I am. A little over 6 months ago my 15 year old son got me to go to an airsoft event about two hours drive from home. Ever since we have been collecting guns and gear and are regular members of two groups. The BB Gun Militia down in Anniston, AL is the group we play with on a monthly basis. The Gun Skunks (name not actually settled on yet)(slogan is: We spray, you pray) is a team my son is forming along with several Huntsville local airsofters. It has been great to have a hobby that we enjoy together.

I am a Technical Illustrator/Computer Graphics person. I have a bachelor's degree in Painting and Printmaking and a Master's degree in Commercial Illustration. In spite of my older than average age (50) for most airsofters I manage to keep up with the youngsters pretty well.

My personal weapon of choice is the CA G36c (just upgraded). The family arsenal includes my son's ICS AK74 (upgraded), KJW MK1 NBB, CSI AK47 Assailant, TM MP7, KJW MK1 sniper rifle w/upgraded barrel, KWC Mack11, and two sniper rifles owned by my son (TM PSG1 upgraded & Maruzen Type 96 in process).

It has been a pleasure to get to know some of you through this forum. That's all for now.

P.S. My call sign was acquired ~15 years ago in the Bahamas because of my sun block of choice back then. And it still is today.

hey guys!!!

I am Tozé "mikroben" Santos. 23 years old, Portuguese airsofter. playing for over a year now, I own a WE hi-capa 5.1 and a CA SAR OFFIZIER.

I've registered in this forum because I am a milsim addict, and came here searching for more milsim teams.

in Portgugal we have only 3/4 milsim/reenactement teams.

What's up....

Is airsoft legal in Portugal?

Hi, I am Rob...I'm into Airsoft as you can see. That's all folks

Whats up everybody. Just got my first cheapo (CYMA cm023). Used to play paintball back a few years ago, then went to college, and got out of it. Found out about airsoft recently and decided to get something cheap first to see if I would like it and see if anybody around me wants to play. Live in S. Baltmore/Catonsville Murland. Anybody who wants to get a game sometime let me know.

Dan Ketch

Hello there,

My callsign is Thereaper, I use this in video games and airsoft. Mostly teammates call me by my last name because they are used to it. I am 18 years old and looking forward to college. I am very new to airsoft, I started in the summer of this year 2006. I went out with a friend and he lent me his springer. I was hooked after the first aeg I saw. I had to play and even with a springer managed to get people out, since I'm fairly athletic and am just naturally good at aiming for some reason. Since that game I pooled my money and bought a G3SG1 which is my baby, I love it to death. Since then I have gained a lot of knowledge and been able to apply my tactical knowledge to my play. My marksmanship is very good and I just plain love playing airsoft. The odd thing is that I rush a lot of people even though I've got a gun a meter long, somehow I make it work. Hope to be involved in airsoft more and more as I get older. It is such a great sport and I love that I can find many people who enjoy it as much as I do.

well I'm part of your group so are you saying that we don't have a team and are not on team victor
