It'd be a rather long drive up to Connecticut from Maryland! :hehe:

 

[Late Payback]

That's to bad. There aren't many good airsoft arenas around here!

I did not mean treat airsoft guns like real firearms on the field. I meant when you are not in play.

In general, airsoft guns should be treated like real firearms anytime you are not playing airsoft. Logically, if anyone ever saw you with an airsoft gun, they would assume it is a real gun, therefore it should just be considered a real gun anytime you are not on a field with other people using airsoft guns. Understand my meaning?

Of course.

That seems fair... I can't say that I treat an airsoft gun like a real firearm though. When everyone is wearing thick clothes, masks, etc. I'd shoot people with it. You never shoot a person with a gun, even if they're wearing a bulletproof vest but the idea of when not wearing protection treat it with due respect (Don't point at other people, don't shoot at other people, careful about ricochet bbs, etc.) is fine with me. I think she would be more okay with it if she didn't see pictures of stupid people doing stupid crap with airsoft when looking it up on Google. (Getting shot in the face point-blank with a sniper without proper protection, bleeders, people getting shot bare-skin by airsoft pellets at close range, etc.) and when I try to explain it's stupid crap, she tells me "Still, it does happen". I guess maybe if she is exposed to them more and realizes that while it does pose a minor danger, it can be mostly negated with responsibility and proper protection. Oh well. Enough of me and my problems. Post more battle wounds. They're kind of fun to look at. :hehe:

But it'd be such a waste of the 4.5 acres of swamp and woodland we own behind my house.

I have an idea. Perhaps tell her you are not a gormless prat and surly able to quit yourself of stupid and dangerous circumstances, and that doting Purell mothers have emasculated a whole generation or two.

We have a word for women like this here, but I do not think it is appropriate to write now. The sad fact is that stupid parents will exercise stupid rules, because they are stupid, and there is little to do but suffer it for now and decide how much to hold it against them for later.

I have seen a few gnarly injuries, but never from the guns themselves--it is always environmental hazards, usually falls (PS, learn to break a fall). I have to say, even a low powered gun can break teeth, even as low as 325. Put something more than a bandana or some neoprene over the teeth, something hard, cover your eyes, and don't flinch.

Refer to my "helicopter mom" comment. Overprotective.

Thank god for dads and weekends.

Well I think I have enough counterarguments to chop down any of hers... Maybe I can convince her. I didn't mean to make this thread a chat thread or to bitch about my problems haha. Anyone have any pictures/stories left feel free to share them though.

 

[Libelle]

Well, this sort of thing is common enough:

I had one like in the last video on my finger, not nice.

I got similar in my finger not too long ago... Fat spewing out of it and all. Fucking sucked. Just seeing that reminded me of it, made me cringe. Wasn't airsoft related, though.

did this thread just turn into a gore-fest?

 

[Gazzie]

So it seems.:doh:

Well that was pretty much the premise from the start! :hehe:

Got shot in the penis head the first time I went to the CQB field, with a shot in the helmet vent and left a huge lump.

"Got shot in the penis head..." Priceless comment.

"Whenever you don't call your hits, I have the right to shoot you in the head.
The other one."

 

[schnikes]

Bloody welt on the arm from a 10 ft. shot inside a CQB house that you normally call hits in. The guy was an asshole but I'm lucky that's the worst I've had it. Someone down at the place I play at got a bb stuck in his finger and he needed tweezers to pull it out.

yeah yeah yeah, I call my hits. I just came out around a corner after a kid was hit there, so the guy that was shooting at the kid was still aiming down and shot my lil'soldier. I yelled "man down!" and limped away.

Let that be a lesson for all you out there. If you dont wear a mask, get teeth guard, and buy a cup.
