Free time all gone....here's why.

[Kid]

Well since I had sooo much free time playing Titan's Quest, Guildwars & temporarily working two jobs, I thought I try a little sport as well...just to fill up my day.

Now, being that I'm a lazy sod, I had to find something that didn't require much effort. So I bought one of these.

and one of these:

It's the perfect sport. Relaxing, a bit of excercise, and I get to hurt other people legally. Great for lazy sadist.

Where's the sport part you ask?

I only just found out that they became legal in Ireland...woohoo.

If anyone wants to buy me a christmas prezzie, please feel free to check out the UNcompany website for gift ideas.

Airsoft rules, but the pistols are deffinately the way to go. They usually shoot the fastest and cause the most pain for the price. If you really want to throw down some cash for a good one though, get the green goo ones. Only one I saw was a sniper, but it would draw blood. I wouldn't recomend an electronic one though. I got sprayed with one from a foot away and it didn't even bruise.

Crazy. How does that work, it's launching air? The clips have compressed air or something?

They can be gas powered or electric.

The gas is stored in compressed form inside the magazine clip.

For electric, the purpose built rechargable battery is stored in the magazine clip.
Both have advantages, but electric is a little weaker, but far more reliable in winter.

P.S, LilBurst, that's a cool poster...lol...so true.

Sounds painful. S'pose it'd be better to be hit by gas than real bullets, though!

How do the guns go for kick and whatnot? Do they try to mimmick their real counterparts?

[Superfreakeh]

They are as real as real can be without the bullet.

They are as real as real can be without the bullet.

Yup, and they come with recoil as well, though not as powerful.
