Hi Y'all:
I am considering airsoft but I am not new to combat games. I got into Paintball in 91, when I lived in Los Angeles,taking my 10 year old son out once a week on saturday and playing without him once a week on Sunday for 5 years. I let him take a friend once a month so I introduced many a kid to paintball. I figure I played a thousand paintball matches. I was in the USAF during the Vietnam War.
I started paintball back when the standard gun was the one shot and shake CO2 powered PGP pistol, graduated to Tipman pump gun then semi auto's. When we got the semi-autos that could shoot a couple thousand rounds in one day we couldn't afford to play twice in one weekend so we all started to play the “whomever gets the most kills per round ratio at the end of the day wins game” I have reffed when I trashed my knee (playing of course) and been killed untold times sporting welts in the face and neck on every Monday.
I have not played paintball for 15 years. My son is 31 and I am now a grandpa.
I have and shoot several 9mm and .38 cal pistols.
I found out about airsoft recently and took a shooting buddy to Airsoft Atlanta where he bought a 1911 gas pistol, loaded it with .25 BB's and shot me in the butt from 15 feet. Ouch but not to bad.
I watched the kids spray and pray with AEG's at the local Gold Eagle CGB spot at the local Discover Mills mall via youtube. I don't think that looks to fun.
A friend or two and my son want to practice defending our homes with semi-auto blowback gas pistol with limited, realistic amounts , of ammo and realistic rates of fire. .
We have plenty of space to play in our wooded back yards, a farm, a quarry, and my buddies local, indoor music venue.
My wife is not to excited about this being a new hobby, as she had to pay for my trashed knee and dealt with my injuries each week when I returned from the fields.
After selling off my dilapidated paintball gear I will be able to get a GBB semi-auto and the Brass Guard Stark mask. I am thinking KWA ATP, KWA USP compact or KJW P229, because they fit the holster I have for my Ruger P90 DC but I can't find anything small like my Springfield Armory Subcompact XD9.
Peace
PS: here is the stuff I want to sell.https://metroatlantaairsoft.darkbb.com/t4382-out-of-paintball-into-airsoft
