Airsoft, ww2

[Alexander]

I dont know if any of you even know what airsoft is, so ill start off by explaining a little:

Airsoft is a military simulation sport, kind of like paintball, were each player gets a "gun" each and divide into teams. The team then get different "military" tasks to handle, take for instance: Blue team: guard the cookies. Red team: Destroy the cookies.  Just as in the games really.

ANYWAY, the point of this topic is really: Anyone here that plays airsoft from time to time? :)

I was just on a ww2 airsoft reenactment game myself lst weekend, and i gotta tell you... It was the greates experience ive ever had :D i was fighting as a sergeant in the 101st airborne, fighting off some SS and fallschirm jagers!  Ill post some pictures of it ASAP :) so much of it that reminded me of hd

Anyways... any more brothers in BB out there?

I know airsoft, how did it remind you of HD?

Were you "guarding the cookies" from behind a desk?

I do, but I have rather modern "gear" rather than WWII related, since WWII airsoft guns and authentic eguipment may sometimes have quite high prices, like MG42 as airsoft gun.... you literally need to pay your ass off for it 

[Alexander]

hehe yeah i know, i got a modern kit as well offcourse! :D

me and some of the boys:





Iam getting a Garand during this fall 


And here is some picture of my modern kit, Norwegian camo:








ill post some more pictures of my ww2 kit during the week, ill get some of the pictures from last weekend then

Another player here. I've also only got modern kit atm.
I've basically got a British army loadout only without the helmet or L85 as I prefer a balaclava or bush hat and L85s are too expensive. I've got a G33 as my main and MP5k PDW for CQB. I guess you could call it an SAS wannabe/ terrorist loadout. 

I'd like to try WW2 but can't really afford it, mainly because of the high cost of anything other than a tommy gun. If I did I'd proabaly have to go either British or German.

Instead I'm now working on a Vietnam loadout, got most of the kit and am now saving for a M14. I also quite fancy a modern Russian one some time too (RPK74  ) but I don't know if I'll be able to afford that before the stupid new laws come in banning the sale of replicas. Just depends on what they decide on when finalising it and when they bring it in.
Having said I think my next purchase will have to be a SigSauer 226 just to finish off my current kit.

AH yes, ive heard about that, ilegalising airsoft guns and etc. in the UK. kinda sucks really :S 

But i suppose you signed the petition going on ? the "save our sport" thing

[Lardassmonkey]

No I haven't bothered signing it becuae they won't listen to that. I'm just supporting the ABA (association of British Airsofters) in the hope they will be able to convince the right people to make the nessesary amendments to allow some reatilers to remain in business. You're right though, it does Royally suck. Oh how I love this governement.

Nice pics there chap.

Actually, one guy I know who was some Fallschirmjaeger- related gear and K98k as airsoft gun. I remember when he showed a few pics of him long time ago and I first asked that was the photo recolored WWII picture at first 

Anyway, another guy I know actually owns MG42 airsoft gun. He said that it costed one hell of a fortune to him, hehe.

My own modern kit is kinda mixed stuff, but mostly related to US army. I have M733 Commando as main yet so far I have no backup.

I´m sure you have heard the bad reputition of Marui´s M773 Commando, and I was aware of it when I bought mine but actually it is extremely good model as the barrel is not shaking up like 99% of M773 Commandos. Pretty lucky bastard I am in that case 

[Alexander]

hehe  well all the Marui m16 family weapons ive ever heard of get this shaking or wobble as i know it as 

Have a Knigth SR-16 marui custom, with systema parts myself. It should do approx 350FPS    sooo.. .

Regarding the MG.... well i suppose its a shoei? Ive had one of them firing after me as well last week, it sure packs a bunch!

[Oldih]

shaking or wobble as i know it as

Well you´re lucky one. I remember seeing one guy having the barrel wobbling so much that his backup was even more useful (and accurate) than his M4.

well i suppose its a shoei?

Shoei?

[Lardassmonkey]

I've heard a lot about the marui wobble, thats why I decided on either CA or ICS as I originally wanted a M4. Plus I prefer full metal bodies and the stock fps is higher.
I decided later I wanted something less common, thats why I switched to the G33.
I have mine running at 328 fps (max for AEGs at most sites in the uk) for thr G33 and around 300 for the MP5 as its for CQB/ back-up only.

The other annoying thing about that majority of ww2 guns other than the price is that they are gas which I find to be a bit of a pain when compared to electric.
