Hello Facepunch, I'm going to go Airsofting with a couple friends today. I'll be using a metal 300 fps AEG M4 that I haven't used in an actual battle yet.
My brother and I have messed around with spring pistols in the backyard, but the yard is too small for me to use my M4. So I've never used it for anything other than shooting cans off a fence. Furthermore my experience in airsoft is limited. I'm in the USNSCC and have done many many military-styled maneuvers, I went paintballing once, and of course shot my brother a lot in the backyard. So I have a little bit of experience, but what kind of challenges might I face airsofting in an actual battle? What tactics should I use? What are some rookie mistakes?
Also tell me about your airsoft/paintball experiences. [b]Just don't argue over which is better, airsoft or paintball. Both have strengths and weaknesses.[/b]
