I was curious how many knife owners are into airsoft, besides the guys at my shop. How many of you are saying "what's airsoft?" Do you play, collect, or just shoot? And where do you get your stuff from, the net or a local shop? Do you buy from outside the country, or do you deal only with domestic sources? Expiring minds want to know...

I've been looking at these in catalogs lately. I don't really know anything about them, and I've never even handled one. What can you tell me about them? Do the automatic ones really work? Since I know nada, I look forward to any info.

Hi!

I like air-soft, just because they are legal to own without any legal problems attached to it like real firearms has.
Also here in Sweden full auto firarms are a bitch to get a permit for.

I got an electric H&K MP-5A4 and it works perfect, RPM is about the same as the real thing!
Also a Glock 17 in ordinary spring action (have to work the slide for every shot) great looking, as great as a Glock can look...a friend had a gaspowered Beretta M9 and it even fieldstripped in the same way as the real deal

I know Redwolf, because I'm also a dealer. I recently sold two of the Marui M4 carbines that we bought from them. Really nice rifles, and nearly the weight of the real thing. For the uninitiated, there are a few different types of airsoft gun mechanisms. All are variations of the same principle: a piston is compressed to provide the propellant gasses that push the pellet. The simplest of these is the spring gun, which must be manually cocked for each round. A spring compresses the piston which fires the pellet. Next is the gas gun, which runs on a inert gas called green gas. The gas expands in a chamber (usually coming from either a separate magazine or an external source that connects to the gun via a hose assembly)and fires the pellet, and if the gun is a blowback, reciprocates the bolt or slide and reloads the gun. The third type is the electric gun, which has a motor to compress the piston, and reload the gun. Cyclic rates can be very high on this type of gun, sometimes faster than the guns they are copies of. Usually, they are modelled as closely as possible to the real thing. To see some of what's available, you can check out my site at punchyspaintball.com, which is under construction but will give you an idea of what's out there and what is sells for. If you like, you can feel free to e-mail any questions to info@punchyspaintball.com, and we'll do all we can to help you out. Also, be advised that there are a whole gang of guns that haven't made it to the site yet; it's by no means comprehensive.
