I find that as more people use anime avatars here, the more good posts we get. Funny, huh?

Sweetie too, didn't forget you.
Going to get this: [URL]http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?products_id=4587[/URL] and paint it like this: [URL]http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/923/derpaint.jpg[/URL]
(don't worry, it's a non working, missing a stock, cheap springer. I did not defile anything)
Anyway, if I get money in time, it might work good for winter time.
Otherwise, I have some kind of urban/concrete jungle camo.

So you guys spend hundreds, sometimes even thousands of dollars on real and repro gear so that you can roleplay as soldiers with pellet guns? I don't mean this in a negative way or anything, but this seems slightly absurd. Would anyone bother explaining
[/QUOTE]
You also usually spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on video games or a custom gaming computer as well.
I would rather spend my money on something that gets me outside and running around, learning new skills, making friends, and generally enjoying myself. Plus getting kills and doing cool shit in airsoft is infinitely more satisfying than doing it in a video game.
I know this is unrelated but figured i'd post it here in case someone has any useful advice: [url]http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1002414[/url]

That's what I just told a friend who's been skeptical on spending money on the while airsoft hobby. Needless to say I convinced him and told him that it's better than just sitting on our asses playing PC games that have no real social interaction and gets boring pretty quick.

Video games are fun, but I'd rather be experiencing fake war in real life then playing ArmA.
Hey..You guys want to help me out?
I'm looking at Akm's/ak47's and heard that the Echo 1 red star akm was pretty decent
( [url]http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?cPath=139_24_150&products_id=5331[/url] )
But i also stumbled upon this here CYMA, a brand that, from what i've heard, is a good one. It's a CM046 Blowback. Once again, from what i've read it's a good gun aside from some wood chipping, i've also heard the BB system in place was fantastic.
( [url]http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?products_id=5639[/url] )
I'm loving the darker furniture on the Echo 1, but the CYMA has a nice look, while not as dark, to it as well. I really like the blowback on the CYMA. I'm not really the type to go on skirmishes so for the most part you could call me a "collector" i suppose.
I'm on the fence here and could use an outside opinion; if you want and don't like either brand, you could also suggest me one.

The Echo 1's wood does look much sexier I agree, but a restain could change that. I don't really know which you would get though, E1 usually rebrands guns so it's probably something else, not sure what though.

that's what i was thinking, i could easily sand and restain the wood furniture using something like an oakish color stain. They said the wood chips a bit easily but i doubt it's the actual wood.
I'm really loving the blowback on it though.
Watching videos of the two guns and i get more excited watching the CYMA one.

I'm assuming its electric blowback? Electric blowback systems usually aren't that great from what I've seen. Wood chipping easily is a good thing in my books, nothing looks better then a beat up looking AK.
The wood on my AK (yes I burnt that shit):

And you have a good point, a bit of ware and tear does add to the gun, i guess when i read it i was picturing something different.
Looks like Flecktarn finally released their new "CIRAS"..

It's gonna be awesome.
Sorry, the only gear I got is a Nam impression, would not fit at all with all you commies :/
We should teach her communism.
If it is a "her".
I hope so, we need some variety around here.
[QUOTE=Identity;24883920]If it is a "her".[/QUOTE]
There's one way to answer that:-
Sweetie could post a picture of herself geared up in the post your airsoft loadout thread.

Convert her! Quick! We don't need any more Capitalist pigs around here.
Right now, my cart consists of:
CA M15A4 Carbine
Goggles
Intellect Mini 1600MaH
Smart Charger
4 Mid caps
Speed Loader
BBs
$20 Chest Rig
Is that all I need?
You can take off the midcaps and save yourself some cash for now. You also wont be needing the chest rig if you take off the mags.
Midcaps are nice though :frown:
I'm crazy about having ammo. Wouldn't getting rid of those screw me over at skirmishes?
If your not on a tight budget then go ahead and get them.
I'm saving up, and anything I don't need would get me my gear sooner. But I thought 1 mag would be too little.

To be honest, there seems to be more commie bastards here rather than capitalist pigs.
I'm a capitalist pig! I live in one and my home country is too!
