Anyone hear of Airsoft?

They are guns that are near perfect replicas of many models of assualt rifles

They are select fire, semi and full auto, yes full auto! They shoot 6mm plastic BB's up to about 400 FPS. (Yes they leave a welt)

Anyway, the step son (20)and a couple of his buddies got them. I ended up getting one for Christmas.

We have a couple other guys that are planning on getting them too. I guess you can say, my plans are to play Army. There are a few videos on Youtube showing grown men like myself playing war. (With eye protection, of coarse) I guess its pretty big over seas. Basically like playing paintball.

The guns are pretty cool and have the heft (mine is 7 1/2lbs) and feel of the real thiing. Shooting one full auto is pure joy. Ammo is cheap too.

They use these on movie sets and for police/military training, because of their realisticness (if that's a word)

Nothing like hunting something that hunts you back!

Anyway, those are some of my plans.
