Old timers sound off:

Many years ago, I ran into Airsoft Canada folks a few times on the subway, and they called me by my airsoft name.

One occassion I was travelling with colleagues from work, and I had to answer, "yeah, why did that guy just call you that?"

Wife asked me why I call the Airsoft guys by their handles,
80% of them are Mike, Jay or Sean.
So If Jay came by then Sean came by its 20 minutes of which one?

She was covering the shop one day and said that the guy,
you know him he's missing a finger...

Which finger?

What?

There's Five guys that come to the shop regularly that are missing a finger, which finger? lol.

Epic banter during a time when forums could actually provide a source of heat; he's undocumented exploits are even more epic.

He was quite the "interesting chap" when he finally took the plunge, bought his first gun and showed up to the Salamander Army field in Kingston (Mouse's Field).

DHEA and CoQ10 with PQQ work wonders if the geezer hound is snapping at your ass but you still want to light people up on the field. Of course always consult your doctor before taking any additional supplements

I was literally thinking the other day how much we as a community have lost in terms of control and individuality when FB became the de facto forum. This site has so much more to offer.

No way mate - my condolences to his family.
Hope Japan is treating you well after all these years, as I am sure it is.

I havn't been on here in ages. Nice to see some of the original crews are still kicking

Physically, I feel like I'm 107, but mentally, I'm still going through puberty hehehe

Bumping this because it just showed up on a google search for old photos.

Sup dudes. Been a hot minute.

My first game was at age 16. My first gun was a springer bought from Tru when I was 15. I'm turning 33 in 3 days. Airsoft has changed so much over the years but one thing I can tell you is that the friendships made in this silly little game will last a fucking life time.

This. This sport/hobby/whatever/ has kind of gone to shit the last couple of years but I've met so many interesting people and vastly expanded my group of friends through it!
