I'd still rather spend thousands of [b]real[/b] guns. Just wondering why you guys waste so much money to shoot BB's at each other with your tacticool airsoft guns.
[QUOTE=Marine1st;14197045]Have you ever airsofted?
Most airsofters consider it a sport.[/QUOTE]
Nevermind, you're right. It's a "modern combat sport."
[QUOTE=JDK721;14197031]Target shooting, home defense, hunting, concealed carry, collecting. At least they're more useful than an overpriced shitty gun that shoots plastic BB's that couldn't kill a squirrel.[/QUOTE]
ok so it's not cool cause it doesn't have the power to kill rodents?
home defense? That's retarded, you probably would never use it for that in 2 lifetimes. concealed carry? What is that supposed to do?

Because it's an sport people like and enjoy and are passionate about.
Why waste 1000+ on video games and computers? Go outside.
[QUOTE=Marine1st;14197030]where do you get the idea that I'm saying I'm "hardcore"? you dress in paintball too, so what if it shoots bbs made of plastic? and where the fuck can you find a $600 M60 or $200 SR25?[/QUOTE]
Well, you do go out of the way to brag about your costume and gun on the internet...
The elitist bullshit is why I got out of airsoft, people think they're such hot shit for spending tons of money on a costume and a gun. They lose sight of the fact that they're still running around in a costume shooting bits of plastic at each other. It's not badass, it's not hardcore, it's just supposed to be fun.
That's why the paintballers are typically more fun to just be around, they recognize that they're just there for fun. I don't particularly like paintball as an activity, though, since the guns can spew rounds as fast as an airsoft weapon and the ammunition is much more expensive.

This. Airsofters are elitists and like to think they're cool because they go around in their military costumes and $1,000 tacticool guns that shoot plastic BB's that aren't even strong enough to eliminate a squirrel.

you think posting an [b]airsoft[/b] impression on an [b]airsoft[/b] forum is going out of my way? and that constitutes me being hardcore...
no one is forcing you to airsoft with them, airsoft with different people
and there is no way a paintball gun has even remotely the same ROF as an airsoft gun

The ratio is noticeably higher among airsofters. I don't know if it's this whole obsession with realism or what, but way more airsofters seem to view their stuff as an extension of their dicks than paintballers, who are constantly reminded through their neon cloths and funny-looking guns that it's all just a fun game.

if you get that angry at people airsofting why bother posting on an airsoft thread?

You haven't seen the people I've paintballed with. It's a solid fuckin stream of paint coming out of those things, they can empty a hopper in a couple of seconds.

actually its just the opposite
hey i can stereotype too!
[QUOTE=Marine1st;14197134]if you get that angry at people airsofting why bother posting on an airsoft thread?[/QUOTE]
Who said I was angry? I was just wondering why airsofters spend thousands of dollars on tacticool guns that shoot BB's.

Okay, I give up, you can stereotype as well as I can.
But you clearly can't type as well.
why are you even in here.
AUGHHHH I HATE AIRSOFT I AM GOING TO WASTE MY TIEM ON SOMETHING I HATE ARUGHHHHH >:(

still nothing compared to airsoft support weapons who fire a drum mag (2500 rounds) in about 10 seconds

why waste thousands on games or computers or internet.
You haven't answered my question about that.
People spend money on things they enjoy. Who are you to question what people enjoy?

Bah. I'd have a shitload of airsoft guns if they weren't legally considered weapons in this country.
Sometimes you piss me off, Australia!

I'm not questioning what people enjoy. Stop making so many assumptions. Your question is irrelevant. If there was a more appealing alternative to games and computers, etc. then I would go with the alternative. You airsofters, however, spend thousands of dollars just to shoot BB's at other people. That's what I was questioning. I personally, would rather spend thousands on real guns, ones that might save my life one day.
It doesn't matter to me what you spend your money on, I was just wondering why you spend it in such a manner.

Eh, in their defense it's not that much different than spending thousands on car parts, high-performance computers, or WoW accounts.
The difference is that airsofters tend to act like it makes them better than other people.
[QUOTE=JDK721;14197086]Home defense is retarded? Oh wow.. and your username is Marine1st. You don't know what concealed carry is supposed to do?

I love it when people make assumptions based on my screenname... I picked it out 6 years ago cause my grandpa was in the 1st marine division in WWII, I think 90% of marines are retarded, I can think of several hundred better things to do with my life
of course I know what concealed carry is I just don't understand why that would be a selling point in buying a real gun, of course home defense is useful, IF IT EVER HAPPENS, like if you live in the ghetto

I suppose. It's just funny to see them think they're so cool because they have tacticool guns that shoot plastic BB's, and dress up in military gear.
My question is relevant.
Why are you wasting your money on this internet shit? Why not go outside?
Doesn't that sound stupid?
Airsoft isn't used to kill each other, it's not self defense. It's an dumb game people play to have fun.
