A) Its a lot safer than more known hobbies, like collecting guns or sports like football B) It's the ultimate real life video game and on a side note haha you Canadian dudes had to spend thousands of dollars on overpriced guns, whoo I never get tired of of that. and C) I love it and would defend it to the death with a PBer or anyone else for that matter. No reason needed.

Speaking of which, what would you say is the best way to counter a Patriotic PBer? They are so annoying.

found myself a new hero

my reason: absolut fun, you don't have 5.56 cartridges in your gun everyday, so we put 6mm BB's instead, that's why!

Aint that the true my fellow asian!

I use to collect sports card when I was young, I played tennis (MIXED TENNIS ) all through out high school, and now I airsoft

I'm just glad I don't need to hear the old people grunting beside me anymore.

Because it never stops, endless fun. Social, meeting new guys with competition like CAPS.

Well I started off playing hockey then soccer, I found out that I sucked at every single sport you could think of except for those asian ones, I owned in badminton but it didn't seem cool and sounded very geeky.

I found Airsoft when I went back to taiwan and can I say, it rocks.

Being a milsim/scenario geek I got into paintball (written off airsoft, having only seen clearsoft) spent over 2 years trying to put together a stable team to no avail (played CSPPL and organized a 200 body scenario game in the fall for the last 4 years too)

within weeks of getting introduced to Airsoft by ArmyIssue (bought my son's Cadet boots there) I had a gun, found a team and had played 2 games on my private field.

I have no use for TV sports (go support little league instead) and contempt for "euphemisms" (saying darn instead of damn/f**k etc.) the basis of all sport is ritualized combat, following that line, I'd rather "play" combat that some abstracted form of it.
plus the guns are a hell of a lot cooler than paintball :-P
Airsoft FTW \m/

[Reckless]

I was going to join paintball... local area is 99% speedball, which had no interest to me. I wanted scenerio/milsim type play.

by luck I stumbled across airsoft and jumped in fully my first time out in a milsim... hooked me

honestly.. airsoft is my cheapest hobby, it shares space with my custom 64F100 build/race ... and RC boat modeling.

I love to fix/build/tinker and do custom work... airsoft allows me to do such, and as a bonus get out of the house, blow off aggression ... and like everyone said already shoot friends.. and still have friends at the end of the day!

As long as your bum doesn't hurt, it's all good. The bleeding stops on it's own....

Reckless:

Really? There's no stock or open class leagues? I know that sometimes some of the local fields in Vancouver will have stock/open class games but it's not very often since the bulk of their money is made from paint and therefore speedballers are their main source of income.
