With all of the discussion about guns, ammo, and crazy behavoir, I was just curious if anybody here plays (or simulates) with airsoft guns?
My son and I have been playing for a little while, and I've got to say that I think it's a hoot and half. We've had his friends and cousins come over and we split up in the woods and then track each other down.
We see the big advantage of airsoft vs. paintball as it being quite a bit cheaper to get into, not nearly as messy, and the guns look way, way cooler (more realistic). Of course, many times you're on your honor to admit if you've been shot.
So my question is this: Do you guys think that airsoft (or paintball) is a good or bad behavior? After all, we're out in the woods stalking each with fully automatic 6mm weapons, with the whole point being to shoot each other. After we shoot each other, we talk for a minute and split up and do it all over again.
My opinion is that it is fun and we have a good time with each other and when his friends play, it's even more fun. Plus, we get to mess around with replicas or weapons that we couldn't afford to own real versions of. Also, to clarify, whenever we play, we always wear goggles and (most of the time) face masks, 'cause those BBs really hurt, especially on a cold day.
Again, just wondering what you guys thought about this. Good luck and take care.
