A new hobby I have gotten into is
airsoft. In case you don't know, airsoft guns are 1:1 replicas of real guns that
fire 6mm plastic bb's in single shot or fully automatic(avi demonstration coming
soon). Most airsoft guns run
on electric batteries but others use spring power or gas blowback. When you get
hit by an airsoft bb, it feels like a sharp sting but doesn't hurt as bad or
last as long as when you get hit by a paintball. Paintball guns and their Co2
air are getting annoying to me and the thrill of having gun replicas that shoot
fully automatic is very cool :-) The following pictures are from the actual
guns that I own with the latest one being first:

Beretta
M92F Description: Spring powered, regular quality plastic, hop-up Review: Being a fan of the Beretta series, I quickly snagged this pistol off of an ebay.com auction. It is by the same manufacturer as my USP and is very similar in workings except for the physical appearance is of a Beretta. Once again, this pistol is EXTREMELY accurate and a realistic replica. I should be receivng a high quality plastic Beretta soon which is made with a much higher standard and is comparable to the MP5 in quality. |

MP5-A5 Description: Electric, fully-automatic, hop-op Review: My first electric airsoft gun. I waited a long time for this weapon and it was well worth it! Shooting in fully automatic is something to be experienced! The MP5 is built from very high grade plastic and is much more solid then I expected. The size is perfect for me and the extending stock makes it very comfortable for different situations. The battery takes 6-7 hours to charge on the regular charger but a "quick charger" makes it a lot faster. I added a projecting laser dot scope and have it sighted very accurately. I bought this gun from Texas Extreme. |

USP Description: Spring powered, regular quality plastic, hop-up Review: My first airsoft weapon. I got it for $45 on an ebay.com auction and it is a great first pistol. You would be surprised at how accurate these pistols are! They are much more accurate then regular steel bb pistols and are more powerful I have found. The hop-up™ feature makes a noticeable difference by putting back spin on the bb's to make them shoot farther and not drop as much. To shoot this gun, you have to cock it for each shot. |
