Can't stop grinning!

Well, I walked into Sportsmans Warehouse in Memphis yesterday to kill some time and found myself looking at the exact version of 1911 Airsoft gun that I've been looking for. I only wanted it to use for fitting my version of some long-discontinued Safariland wrap-around grips for a customer in Wa., I never really thought about shooting it. Last night in my hotel, boredom got the best of me and, long story short, this thing is a freaking blast! It shoots way high, but at 30 ft, I was putting a full 25 rd. mag of 6mm BB's in a 2" group. I'm a little old for toys, but I may've actually found some guns I can afford.

Yes airsoft works well in tight areas when your dog has the butter dish at his feet..and he is looking at you like "Uh OH!"

cubbieman · 08-29-2007, 11:22 PM

i can shoot my airsoft in the house

it still sucks tho, its a crosman stinger

.:: Crosman: Stinger R34 ::.

you pull back the spring and 18 bbs fit in there, with 400 in a reservoir, it's really a pain to reload, and it's basically a bolt action, you have to pull back the thingie to load the next BB and sometimes it doesnt shoot and sometimes it shoots 2. i should get a new one next pay day

I can't stop smiling either, but not because I got a new gun...hehehe

Well, I got toys, what's your excuse?

TexasT · 08-29-2007, 11:35 PM

I got the last laugh...long story, but yeah I'm happy. Plus I'm at home with my parents and sibling(s). Don't get to see em often and I'm home for 3 weeks doing pediatrics ambulatory rotation.

LOL, " Modeled after artillery used by special ops soldiers..." I didn't know a 5.56 counted as artillery. My friend had one of these, always felt like I was going to break it, seems so damn cheap. I say if your going to go airsoft, go Tokyo Maru.

That's Tokyo Marui... and it's one of the best in airsoft, but also one of the most expensive. You can get similar stuff from UTG at 1/3 the cost. You just have to know which ones are good and which are duds. I have a UTG MP5 that's got the same internals as the Tokyo Marui version and shoots great. There's just something sweet about being able to put a realistic gun on "full rock and roll".

My bad, missed the typo, Firefox sees it as a misspelled word either way, so I didn't notice it.

Me and my lady just got a pair of Sig knock off airsoft guns what fun they are but she already shot me in the face once and in the back of the head. I told her that running right up to me and shooting was unfair. Plus it gave me a whelp on my face LOL.

no comment on the fact that it likes to have stray shots? every once in a while it is about 15 degrees off on the angle the BB comes out

I only got to shoot it once, the next time I hung out with him, it was broken. I wasn't really doing any shooting for accuracy, just screwing around with it. It is pretty annoying to have to cock it for every shot. Felt like I was playing with a lever action Daisy again.

cubbieman · 08-30-2007, 03:48 PM

i just screw around with it too, but you notice when the shot comes out sideways
