    So during my quarterly1 cleaning of my airsofting area I realized that after over two and a half years of airsoft I have alot of stuff. Yes, stuff. While listening to some "Don't Stop Believing" and vacuuming bbs and dead insects of my humble plywood floor I got my SD card and took some pictures.

    Backstory:
    About a year after I started chairsofting realistic looking guns and stuff started piling up in my bedroom2. I asked my parents if I could use the attic as a airsoft area as well as a studio. They agreed to rent it to me for $100 a year and so the process began of moving everything up. It was a bit bare so I added some shelves and coat hanger hangers aswell as a boombox, lights, tables and some rugs my parents didn't use anymore. During the summer it became apparent that I had only hours to live as soon as I entered the attic thus can the need for 2 fans that keep my core temperature below 105.5 degrees3. It looked pretty presentable and more than enough for airsoft. I then started acquiring more and more stuff in trades, purchases and most of all ebay. Ebay is god, that is all4. Now here I am today on what I realized was the day I got my first LPEG, a bad Double Eagle M45, and I make videos for one of the largest airsoft retailers in the U.S.6 aswell as play almost every weekend with some great people7 and have a blast doing so and I want to look back on my accomplishments8.

    1-Not Exact
    2-My parents were a little concerned of my mental health
    3-Bought on Ebay along with 90% of everything else in the attic
    4-Hallelujah
    5-If only I still had it...
    6-I apologize if this sounds self-aggrandizing
    7-I LOVE YOU KEN TAKEKAWA
    8-If you really want to call them that

    Thank you for reading my story and in all seriousness thank you to everyone that has made this such an awesome group of people to be a part of in the Atlanta. Thank you to Airdog airsoft and everyone involved in bringing games to our humble metropolis, without you I would be 6 feet under the ground with some kind of suicide note9. Anyways hopefully you can take something away from this10 and got off with a few cheap laughs11 here and there.

    9-Please note that I have been listening to "We are the World" while writing this so it is somewhat sappy
    10-Results may vary
    11-Cheap, but no free. I take AmEx, Mastercard and checks

    Reed I'm touched by your story, but I wish there could have been more baby pictures. But one question, how do you make all this money for all 18 possibly 19 mags( I wasn't aware I could count that high) and for all of your sweet awesome guns?

    Back in the day before games came I was an enterprising airsofter. Buy a broken gun in good condition, fix it and make it look bad then sell it at a profit and I made a pretty good profit doing that.

    Also add two Galil mags to that after today Wink
