Step 1What is Airsoft?

What is Airsoft?
Airsoft is a sport much like paintball. Some of the only differences are that in paintball you shoot balls of paint, and in airsoft you shoot 6mm plastic BB's. Another one is that in paintball you carry around a gun with this huge hopper thing and a big gas tank at the bottom and in airsoft you use clips, and the batteries are inside the gun and not a gas tank that sticks out. Or if u have CO2 that's usually inside the gun also, or the spring if its spring powered. That's why i prefer airsoft, because the guns are more realistic and the ammo is much cheaper. The BB's usually do not break the skin, but you do feel a stinging sensation for about 5 seconds or so. It is also based on the honor system, which means if you get hit, there's no way of the shooter to know that, so you have to admit that you're out.

I know personaly I LOATH the very core of AKs. the mag pushes out too far and messes up my aim when I shoot lying down. that's y I am getting a M60.

I agree, but | gotta say that the AK looks AWESOME and the feeling of the gun, how you have to hold it, just feels good. Still, I like my pump rifle.

Well, CYMA's AK series are cheapest airsoftguns.

when i look through my cybergun licenced kalash 60th anniversary ak47 i relized that many of the parts said cyma on them so i assume it is a clone of the tactical jg one

I normally wear camoe pants or camoe shorts and a white T with my Uncle James's old army coat over that. I also wear green high-tops. All that is great for high deserts, in my opinion.

You might also want to mention that the colder the air outside gets, the worse that Gas guns operate. I play airsoft in Canada, and numerous times in this winter season have I already had my Beretta M9 get it's valves frozen open (Rapid fire, paced fire gets better results), due to using propane or green gas (both of which are already cold).

Just thought it might be useful to mention for people in colder climates.

I actually sorta wanna play against you in airsoft, simply because I think it would be a good match. I have a well-P90, a Kiparis(I use the Kiparis and P90 at the same time) and an M16.

Wow nice job saying how airsoft is better than paintball. Please don't talk about a sport you clearly haven't spent much time on. It makes people like me angry to read ignorant comments like yours.

Hadn't occurred to me that you were forced to read this article.
May 21, 2011. 3:26 PMjunits15 says:
oh please, its not like i could'v known that this would bother me BEFORE i read it.
Dec 26, 2008. 9:46 AMThe Homemade Arsenal says:
well then maybe you're not that good at this whole internet thing? Because I know that any knex article is going to bother me without even knowing anything about it. Same goes for trolls who aren't good at it.
