Why are you hating ?
Anything that gives you an advantage to another works.[/QUOTE]
im not saying it wouldn't be a useful gun im saying its fucking ugly
We've been over this before; 30% of airsoft is getting out there and playing. The other 70% is making sure your loadout looks legit and plausible, and making your guns look aesthetically appealing.
me and my friends went into a mexican resturant around like 3 in the afternoon yesterday at hsp, and we went in all of our gear but we left our guns at hsp but we brought all of our mags and it was fun as fuck i shouldve recorded it but i didnt think of it at the time
good times

you forgot the part about arguing on the internet with people who disagree with your idea of a 'legit and plausible loadout' and 'aesthetically pleasing gun'
that's gotta be at least 50%

Basically, if you happen to be Filipino, everything gets thrown out of the equation besides the one word. The very word whispered by Pinoys as if it were holy; the very name they worship: [B][I]Systema.[/I][/B]
Don't forget that in the Philippines everything is also like 700 fps

Your practically elitism is getting almost as bad as geardo elitism. In airsoft we can choose to have something that may not be as practical because it's more aesthetically pleasing to us because it's a fucking GAME. If it was real combat then yes I would take the most effective thing regardless of how dumb it looks. But we can choose to have something that looks better to us because we won't die if we're not as effective.
Cost of field, ammo, snacks, in sewer ants, ect.

What elitism ? Because i say that's it's stupid to say that something needs to look nice to be used ?
So you rather act like a pokemon rather than actually play ?
Choose all you want, but don't say to people not to use something just because you don't like it's looks.

Do you guys actually have to use a official field ?
We play on regular grounds.

Here in the US all fields need insurance. That pricing there covers these costs.
Food, Shelter, Water Trucks, Hygiene, Insurance, Sandbags, and Land rental.
At $200 per person it leaves you with $8,500 for last minute purchases and profit.

It's elitism because you're trying to shove your opinions down our throats as if it was canon law, and hating because we like to look nice when we roll up to slay friggin' bodies. You can be 100% practical all you want, but don't try to force us to do the same when we don't want to. Face it. You're being elitist.
I'm not one to get pissed off easily, right? Only a few things really get me riled up anymore. But your constant remarks about practicality over aesthetics is really getting old. Especially for someone like me, that does everything in their power to mesh aesthetics and practicality(an example being my HL2 Rebel loadout. It's lightweight, it's subdued, it carries an obscene amount of things comfortably, and it's very, very comfortable. In fact, on the weekend that i put it together, i wore it all weekend all day long and was perfectly fine. No cramps, no pains, no blisters, and i moved just as fast as i normally do. And it looked damn nice, if i do say so myself). But what you're saying is that if you even consider aesthetics, it's a waste of time and money(oh, yeah, my Rebel loadout? Costed no more than $60 total. $50 was the vest.), which is, as i just proved, not true at all.
If you're going to keep ranting and raving about practicality, then please, take a break from IFAP for a while. It's getting old. People are allowed to dress up their guns and themselves to look nice. Nothing you can do about it.

10 days is too much.
People don't have the patience.
Plus have everyone bring there own food and water.We do it.It's not hard.
Maybe some snacks are brough in special events, but not constantly.
It's just giving people a chance to be lazy and not care for themselves.

I'm not trying to shove that idea.I'm just saying not to burst down someones doors and say "That guns looks ugly ! Why would you use it ?"
At that point, they themselves are elitist and saying that you should dress it up or make it look better.
I don't mind people making kits and loadouts.You're job, but don't say to people that the gun they use looks ugly even thought it's purpose is to kill.

It's milsim dude. [url]http://www.operationeastwind.com/[/url] does something similar every year and they always get an amazing turn out. So you're completely wrong.

we can't have opinions
ok
I think overly tactical AKs are ugly. Do I think people shouldn't use them? Of course not as long as they need that shit.

As long as it's black/metal, and there aren't too many tactical attachments I think they look pretty nice. I mean if they have like a flashlight/grips/scope/sling/bayonet then it's overboard.
so if an ak has any optic, sling and possibly a bayonet... its overboard?
lol
Itsjustguy, you seem to be very firmly in the 'pro-practical' camp. My question to you is, how do you feel about GBBRs? In terms of pure performance, they're inferior to AEGs in every way- they have recoil, much more limited rates of fire, suffer from cooldown on full auto, have expensive and proprietary magazines, and very low capacities. Are you saying people shouldn't use them?
It seems to me like it's exactly the same issue- GBB rifles are better-looking but less practical when compared to AEGs. According to the principle of function always trumping form, then, nobody should have GBBRs. Do you agree or disagree, and why?

If I'm paying upwards of $500 on a toy gun I'm going to make sure it fucking looks nice. Stop with your bullshit.
