airsoft guys


Orion

Recommended Posts

I'm pretty sure there is a specialty airsoft place by one of the old meet spots on cleveland avenue, I think it was the thrift store? Right behind the sunoco? It's been a while since i've been there. If not there, maybe it was beside Iron Pony. One of those two places.

 

Someone help me out here, my memory sucks balls. I swear there's something of that nature at one of those two locations.

The last thing a brothah needs is something that looks like a gun but cant shoot nobody. :p

 

given my supposed genetic predisposition to "bust a cap in somebody's ass", i think that a real looking gun that cant shoot is exactly what i need.

 

seriously, i want to do some plinking inside the city limits that wont rile my old ass neighbors up and i dont want to pay for range fees. also, if i decide i want to check an event out, i dont want to take my spring loaded, single shot plastic gun out on the field with guys using fully automatic m4 look-a-likes.

We (me and the roommate) just went to airsoftsmith.com on kenney just off henderson. Its a mom and pop store (read local place that you would want to keep in business.) The guy behind the counter was VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE. We were in there for about an hour and he answered every question we could throw at him. I would recommend them as a local destination.

 

There are several sites locally to play anytime of year, and it looks like it would be a blast.

Guess I got here late - but if you're looking for more Airsoft gear thats not asstastic go to: http://www.Airsoftsmith.com Tell them Hillslam sent you.

 

Their store is on kenny near old henderson. AirsoftArms by Iron Pony is on the way out. *rumor*

 

DO NOT BUY FROM WALMART, MEIJER, DICKS, THE SURPLUS STORES, ETC. THEY ONLY SELL COMPLETE CRAP, OFTEN COSTING AS MUCH AS THE GOOD STUFF. Complete wastes of money - if you're saddled with one sell it immediately and go hit up AirsoftSmith on Kenny for the full metal goodness.

 

Nice Sig Saur Orion. My father in law is on the Sacramento PD and they use KWC Sigs to train on their realsteel 226s, but I hear the TMs are nicer.

 

BTW - Orion, come out some time and play with us. WARNING: You *will* be hooked. Great fun, great sportsmanship, and great people. For example on our team, besides me, there's: an active Marine, 2 Ex Army, 2 CIOs, 2 EMTs, 1 Net Jets pilot, 1 Doctor, 1 ER Nurse, 3 College students, 1 Aero Engineer (not me), 1 teacher, 1 Concrete contractor, etc etc and so forth.

 

The player mix is alot like that across the board. Ex-military, pre-military, no-military at all. Police, firefighters, kids. Young, old. Way lower asshat ratio than paintball, just by the nature of the game (honor system and non-dayglow ghey spandex outfits makes for more enjoyable sportsmanship, less videogame hijinks). You get outside, you get dirty/sore/banged up, get a workout (like you wouldn't beleive), you have a blast, and a week later end up wanting to do more.

 

There's something about using your gunskills that no amount of plinking, drills, or competition shooting will ever get you. Period. Think you draw a fast bead? Think you're a fast reloader? Try it when they're shooting back and you're pinned. Its a rush.

 

PM me this spring if you're interested. And meanwhile hit up http://www.AirsoftOhio.com and just go right ahead and ignore 90% of the posts: Airsoft has its fill of winter bullshit downtime same as CR does. Then spring rolls around and the events ramp up... Ok I'll quit recruiting.

 

Merry Christmas to myself:

EDIT: That goes for the rest of you too, dragknee, mitch and the rest - come out and play with us some time. Nothing like a good big well organized airsoft event for fun.
