Hey, how many shots does it take to "kill" a person?
The irony of guns, is that they can save lives.
I'm not sure how it is with airsoft, but unless you're playing against an experienced person, you can generally keep people down with one shot.
Should let me know if you ever plan on coming down to the North Shore.
Hmmm...I've never played there, but I know a guy who refs there. (or used to..)Nic wrote:
The one up in Whistler, but the guy who manages it now is a big douchebag... so I stopped playing. Living in Squamish now and there are a few active fields up here, so I want to get back into it. Thats the same thing I dont like about stocks, also I feel like I move slower when I try to use it.

will do... gotta figure out which marker I want though, called my buddy up and hes gonna link me up with a bunch of paintball players up here in Squammy. I like the idea of the x7 Phenom, but I'm leaning towards a A5 with a 8" Lapco bigshot.

Learn the art of semi (or short, controlled bursts). M120 spring + 450mm tightbore barrel.
I've seen players empty 200+ bbs trying to take out 1 or 2 people. Sometimes it actually worked...
I've also seen players turn and make single shots, at distance. That was impressive. (...and sucked being on the receiving end, when they peg you in the center of your goggles from max effective range!)
You are attacking with your team, how do you advance in case of an enemy firing at you? One or two guys kep him down and the other guys spread out and go around him.
You are attacking a bunker, how do you advance? The guy in the front and in hte center of the formation keep them pinned down while the other guys go around the bunker trying to surround it.
I don't know what kind of tactics you play with...
I can't imagine a war where you don't shoot unless you're sure of hitting something
Suppressive fire, flanking and eliminating is too fun.

Against an enemy in cover, sure, keep them down while your squad flanks. That is basic tactics.aerodynamic wrote:

Every time they pop up, put a couple rounds toward them.
I've seen too many people go into "suppressive fire mode" by themselves. They think fire superiority is THE key to winning. People who go "rambo" (relying on a hail of bbs to advance) tend to fail pretty badly when they encounter people who use basic tactics and aim. I've had people empty entire mags at me and my team, only to take them out with less than a dozen bbs.
Generally, the group I play with relies on surprise, speed, and accuracy. We might have one or two guys who can provide sustained fire, but we mostly run light. We use distractions/stealth to gain an advantageous position, then quickly take out opponents with accurate shots.
so guys, what would a good airsoft AEG for less than 100 USD?

That is about as good as it will get under 100 bucks. I recommend spending more, like a 130-140 JG. I highly recommend JG, great brand. I'm picking up one of these as soon as they come back in stock.

Here is my new system, should be purchasing in a week or so.
ooo that looks nice. i like the m4 style. any other m4s like that?
I believe it's called a M416RTHKI wrote:

My club does the same thing but not always we get to do that depending on what mode we are playing.RAIMIUS wrote:

Key to any tactical victory is teamwork. We have an eight man team with two squads of four. We scrimmaged against a team of 12 and won easily simply because they hunkered down and just sprayed like mad men. We were playing woodball, tactical advances through trees. Best thing to do is have your fastest guy run like hell to good cover. When every enemy engages him, the remaining 3 squad mates tactically advance while Bravo Squad stays put and picks off the hostiles. After our first round we had one squad of 6 and a recon team of two. My friend and I only carried our pistols and two clips, we would advance with the squad, allow them to engage and the outflank the hostiles and surround them. Worked every time. Spraying is the enemy, even if you have no recoil. Wait until you have a clear shot and then take it.
I stopped airsoft because I was always getting shot in the face lol
I got some misc. extra shit (good condition) pm me if your interested
I used some MP5 RIS... shot like 415fps or something.
If I were to get back into it i would probably get some 350-380 fps gas blowback full metal pistols with some of my friends. I've found that gas and full metal is where it's at. They're pretty simple, solid, accurate easy and realistic. Too much shit to fuck with when you deal with big stocky AEG's. You gotta worry about charging, having shit battery's, your battery dying mid-fight. Not to mention having to rip wires out of a stock and jamming shit back in it while your getting shot at. Also I find AEG's are oddly weighted, but gas feel amazing.
I play more for fun not competitive though.

/\ I really like that damn it makes me want one. But again I'm going to say the whole large assault rifle assembly might pose problems. Just too much shit to go wrong, thats why I'd really say pistols. One solid, simple assembly. Not a lot of parts for the manufacturer to skimp on.
Is there any real point in getting a full sized AR? Wouldn't something small and light like an MP5K or MP7 be better, or does their accuracy/power/something suffer for their reduced size?
i believe that smaller guns usually mean smaller battery, which means less fps and length of charge. thats what ive gotten from reading

Again, I play more for fun. So a realistic sized weapon with realistic features is what I look for.Sup3r_Dr4gon wrote:

Longer barrels provide significant accuracy improvments. (As do tightbore barrels)Sup3r_Dr4gon wrote:

Also, larger guns tend to provide more room for batteries. Bigger batteries can provide a LOT more voltage to the gear box and larger capacity (ie. 4200mah at 10.8v vs 2400mah at 8.4v).
Yeah I had to read that twice because it seemed weird. I guess his idea of "Fun" is realism.DefCon-17 wrote:

The Mp5 has a ridiculous small Mag and very short range.Sup3r_Dr4gon wrote:
