Decoy's Airsoft, Real Steal, and MilSim Discussion

[Terminus Lupus]

What is AirSoft?

(Quoted from www.airsoftcenturions.com/faq.htm)

Airsoft is a recreational game and collector's hobby.
Airsoft guns are highly detailed replicas of authentic firearms. They are exact in every detail to their real counterparts. They use electric, spring, or gas power to shoot 6mm BBs.

They have an effective range of up to 200' and most are fully automatic. The BBs they shoot weigh only .20 gram so they do not hurt nearly as much as paintball. The BBs leave no mark and calling yourself out is on the honor system. Airsoft is a game of honor.

These realistic looking guns are combined with authentic looking uniforms and scenarios to play live wargames.

Similar to paintball, players compete in mock combat but with much more attention to theatrics and roleplaying. Airsoft players focus on the fantasy aspect of the game as opposed to the purely comptitive sport of paintball. Effectively, airsoft players like to 'play army' in a safe and friendly environment.

Airsoft is also used by some LE (Law Enforcement) groups to practice CQB (Close Quarters Battle) where "Simunition" (Real guns firing Less-Than-Lethal "paint" rounds) would be too dangerous.

What is Real Steal?

Real firearms and accessories, plain and simple.

What are MilSims?

Military Simulations. This could be used to refer to training exercises, airsoft, wargames that the military puts on, and even ultra-realistic video games.

El Cheepo guns are fun, but wait timm you try out a hardcore AEG: those things kick major ass.

Currently I own two pistols: a Cyma Sig SP 618, and a Y&P Berretta M9.

I'm about to order a Tokyo Marui Colt M733, four G&P 130 round mags, and two G&P 8.4v 1100Mah mini batteries.

I reccomend if you plan on seriously getting into AirSoft, buy a TM AEG (best would be a M4/M16 type), and after you get all your stuff for it if you want to get a pistol get a TM SOCOM Full Set.

Oh, and there is a big game comeing up in Mississippi I plan on going to called Jade Dragon, you can find it on Quantum's website (www.quantumairsoft.com)

Ok, I have a solution to people that want to get into airsoft, and maybe play with the big boys without a massive disadvantage, but at the same time don't want to drop $250-$400 for a Hardcore AEG! These guns are highly reccomended starter/project guns (however with the SR-4 you either have to buy a new receiver or be INCREDIBLY careful with it, fore the receiver is very easily broken. though the rest ov the gun is rock solid)

UTG MP-5 "Buddy Pack" (UTG MP-5s are also available at AirsoftAtlanta [the price on AA is for one], I give this link because it give more info)
www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?products_id=1237&osCsid=4e4aafa5c31e23ac551047654648c544

SRC SR-4 Tactical (the one at AA is a standard colapsable stock, and not worth the fact you will eventualy have to buy a new receiver)
