    Was just wondering how many of my fellow Bronies are also into airsoft or paintball? In my head I was thinking that a Brony airsoft team would be incredibly awesome.

    I enjoy paintballing. I've only been a few times so I'm far from perfect but I can do somewhat good. A brony team would be interesting but if I did have any merch, I wouldn't want to ruin it.

    Although I live in UK. It wouldn't work if the team members were from different countries.

    AIRSOFTING IS BOSS.
    The only downside is the fact that people lie about getting hit.
    With paintball, it's obvious with a massive yellow splat on yer backside.

    I got a AK47 I love to use. And ya, people lie about getting shot in airsoft. When I play we usually do a rule where if it hurts enough to yell "ow!" then your out.

    I've only been paintballing but when I'm old enough to buy the gear and drive, I might do some airsoft. When I do paintballing we go out as soon as we get shot. It's probably to do with health and safety but I'm not sure about other UK centres. Also, I have a somewhat high pain threshold so your version seems more fun.

    its been too long since i last airsofted. got an Echo 1 Stag-15 that i swear to god was my child for a while. i loved that thing so much.

    and my friends would never call their hits. so we just played pain game. unless we went to the serious airsoft field near us, where a bunch of reeally good guys played. those guys were intense.

    My AK is made by CYMA. Full metal, real wood furniture, 400+ FPS. What FPS do you guys usually play? My friends and I try to keep a 350-500 range. And ya, the pain game works best it seems.

    I love Airsoft! I't's just a pity it is so expensive. I'll take any opportunity I get to play Airsoft!

    Airsoft? Paintball? Never heard of it. In my day we went into the woods with BB guns and did our level best to put as many bruises on each other as humanely possible. Kids today have it too easy.

    My cousin is into airsoft guns. I, personally, find that most of the guns I see are poorly made or do not perform to specifications.

    I'd like to get into paintball, but as mentioned, it's painfully expensive. Having shot from a few different guns, I can say it's quite hard to be accurate even at mid range.

    just hope you don't get shot in the wrong spot! Trust me, I'm still in pain from the last time I played!

    I'd like to try it, so far when I go out with a bottle of air strapped to a gun It's a lethal force to be reckoned with.

    Airsoft guns are BB guns. But I don't know if your talking about metal BB's or plastic BB's. Airsoft shoots plastic.

    I took a look at some BBs online and theyre either plastic or zinc coated, we used copper BBs that when you pumped your rifle up 20 times stung like a mother when they hit you.
