Thats fair, I don't play at arena's so there are no requirements.

Re: Airsoft Sport
 

If I only play with my friends I'll wear my shooting glasses with my neoprene mask.

Dude thats awesome! I painted my M324 (sniper) because I had too, since I lived in a district of town filled with apartments i painted many parts of it orange to distinguish it from a real gun (those dirty people would have loved to call the cops on me). After I moved, I never got off the orange paint but I think I will this weekend.

I used to play with a mask, but it just took away from the experience so much that I hated it. Airsoft with other people is roughly good training for me for the Army which I plan to go into and I know they're not going to let you wear masks over in the warzone, so I only got goggles. They do a good job, and you have such a low chance of getting hit face because people generally aim for the chest and the bbs without hop up go down, so..

Or, if you want, a neoprene mask is fine too. By the way, this is my M324: http://www.airsoftmart.net/catalog/images/utgsniper.JPG best spring sniper you can get, except the bipod sucks and will break but eh.

THIS IS PATENTLY FALSE! Because srsly the cheapest I've found milsurp 30-06 is .50 cents a round.

Also, all people in the military make fun of airsofters, sorry. Especially the ones who get all decked out in the military gear. Just thought I'd let you guys know.

Re: Airsoft Sport
 

Uh oh. All you airsofters have to stop enjoying your hobby because people you don't know laugh at you for it! What is this grade school? It's certainly not my thing but come on.

And yes, 30-06 is pretty damn expensive. All ammo is expensive anymore, it's crazy.

Re: Airsoft Sport
 

I just don't like when people play airsoft and say it's like the military or good training for it or whatever, because airsofting is absolutely nothing like the real military, and I'm not talking about the fact that airsofting doesn't involve real bullets.

Re: Airsoft Sport
 

I understand this. I try to encourage this understanding in the people I play with. MilSim Airsoft, to me, is only truly MilSim when everything but the toy (including the person) is real military, or at the least paramilitary. Otherwise, have fun and play paintball without the mess and with less goofy-looking guns.

Also enjoyable/funny in Airsoft: gangsta-shooting. An electric "Glock" pistol with 33 pellets, capable of firing automatically? How can you *not* turn that gun sideways? Walking pellets onto the target, seeing your pellets move through the air as they keep your opponent's head down, that's some fun.

Re: Airsoft Sport
 

But I thought in the military people ran around and shot at eachother with plastic bb guns in their backyards!!!!!!!!!

I like it because it's good for training reflexes, also how well you act in a battle (if you are really getting into it) and sharpshooting.

Re: Airsoft Sport
 

True, if you can hit a soda can with a airsoft sniper rifle from 75 yards you can hit it with a real sniper rifle anyday of the week. ;)

Re: Airsoft Sport
 

I don't necessarily agree with that. I think a real firearm is harder to be more accurate with.
