The 9yr is asking for one for Christmas. I know nothing about them. Google tells me there is electric and gas guns? What should I look for?
Listen ol man. Don't you have some jazz pics to be snapping. I'm reading on them as we speak. But never hurts to get real world knowledge from actual people that are into it. Isn't it past your bed time? Go grab you a warm glass of milk and go to bed..
I'm out. Any personal opinions I could have expressed, which I think are important considerations whether they applied to you and your child or not, would be extremely inflammatory and, well, we no longer have a Dungeon within which to burn people's dreams, so... <shrug>
It's not about that, it's about what's appropriate public (non-Dungeon) conversation. I've tried to write something a few times and I'm not learned enough to make my points as concisely as I hear them in my head and have them understood. Simply, I lack the ability to voice my opinion with the eloquence I think this subject deserves.
I've never paid any attention at all to this airsofting crap, what is it? Like cosplay for the tactifool sect?
fancy plastic BB guns that look exactly like real guns, AK, M16, Glocks etc. Lots of kids killed carrying these and shooting each other on the street. keep the kids off the streets with airsoft guns.
So it's a bunch of idjits running around and shooting each other with BB guns? Like paintballing but even gheyer?
I took my kid over to play paintball at a birthday party once. Seemed fun enough for kids and was pretty well set up and the kids had fun. Then the "adults" showed up. Elaborate set ups including a dude with a back pack with compressed air and paint ball in it (I was expecting him to pull out a mini gun). Um, okay, I guess you dig this shit. Tactifooled out adults putting on shit that might be better then the stuff some countries issue their special forces. It went downhill from there with some tool with a ghillie suit and what looked like a Barrett paintballer rifle. I kept thinking it'd be fun to shoot those dopes with a potato gun. Afterwards yell out "Recoiless rifle, motherf@ckers!"
