EmPty CaSInGz Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 I own a .177 air rifle and go FT shooting with my brother every two Saturdays. Anyone else do shooting? I really enjoy it for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmPty CaSInGz Posted May 4, 2011 Author Share Posted May 4, 2011 (edited) Can't speak for air-guns, but paintball's pretty fun, especially when you take out seasoned veterans I would do paintball, but it's so damn expensive! £100 for a decent starter gun (Tippmann 98). I do a little airsoft, but I find the Two-Tone law pretty gay. The only times I've paintballed is on camp with the Cadets, and even then it was at targets. "Insurance" my bunghole.

Banks. Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 I have been Paintballing plenty of times and It Is really fun. It Is expensive to go but you get what you pay for, that's what I say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, but I have the saving ability of a blind and deaf paraplegic goalkeeper. It killed me to save £59 to buy an M805 airsoft gun, so I don't know how I'd save £100+ for a marker. Ah well, I do essentially the same thing at cadets but with blanks... and an SA80. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*MURDOC* Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 I own a .177 air rifle and go FT shooting with my brother every two Saturdays. Anyone else do shooting? I really enjoy it for some reason. Other than actual guns, I do enjoy a bit of this as well. I've got a few rifles, one's a kind of short air rifle, the other, which I prefer, even though it's single shot and a slow reload, is a spring-loaded break-barrel that came with 2 interchangeable barrels in .177 and .22. I've also got a co2 pistol from the 70's, it's black metal, and looks like a .357. Pellets are ridiculously cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also had my eye on a Crosman Nightstalker, basically a copy of a Beretta Cx4 Storm, which is ridiculously cheap- around £65. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claude4Catalina Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I'm one of these mall-ninja teenages who is only into airsoft because it's cheaper than an actual .22 rifle...and I can have my M16 I'm meant to be picking an M16A3-style airsoft gun in the near future, already got my 1911 Springer, I'm gonna try and piece together an airsoft team instead of just going to skirmishes with friends for birthdays etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmlwin.1996 Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 When I was young, me and my friends went in one forest and shot the birds with air guns. Now I am not doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude4Catalina Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 did you cry aloud and say to your father "Dad! I can shoot birds now!" ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmlwin.1996 Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 did you cry aloud and say to your father "Dad! I can shoot birds now!" ? Haha! No. Because me and my friends were afraid of getting scolded by our adults. They still don't know about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you can't shoot at your mates with them... I would skirmish, but no one near owns airsoft guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alick Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I own two Crosman Co2 powered guns, an M9 styled one and one which looks like a Magnum, love shooting them, shame I don't get to use them all that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabid GTA Gamer Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Used to do a lot of airgun shooting. Even made my own air-pistol. Not no more though, the few things that need to get shot get some lead from the 12 Gauge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullMetal Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 I do airsoft with my friends (who are also my "team"). Great hobby and sport if you ask me. Own a M4 variant airsoft rifle with 'normal' handguard and a carry handle (though on rails so option for different sights, holographic or a sights that magnifies). My problem with airsoft is that alot of idiots do it. Idiots who do not care about safety and handle their "weapons" like toys and it is nothing. Thing is these f*ckers pack a punch and can blind a man. Not fun having douches wave their gas powered pistols around all over the safety zone with their finger on the trigger while "safety zone" means area where you can put off those safety glasses. Or the people who lack common sense and think because they play Call of Duty (or for a bit older folk, Counter Strike) they're f*cking tactical geniusses in Airsoft...

Yeah, on the safety front most people near me fail miserably. I shoot my Red Ryder in the garden with two of my friends, and they refuse to leave it unloaded while I'm replacing the targets. They seem to be much more safety conscious when we're shooting at cadets though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
