sa akong na agi-an nga military training, combat simulation was never addictive. if u imagine being in a battlefield, it can even be scary. if u imagine 5.56mm and 7.62mm pieces of lead flying all around u and u find it addictive, u have serious issues in life. and that's only imagination pa.

but if u just take it as a game with no life-changing -- or even life-ending -- consequences to anyone then maybe lingaw sya.

i can relate to your sentiments mate, as i used to be in the service before.. and i do play airsoft before i was in the service, till now that im currently a civvy..
this is one reason why most people who plays airsoft get's big in their bloody balls and in their bloody head.. they think that they're so good at playing "war games", that they can handle the real stuff. making a career out of it and talking big about being a macho rambo warrior or a spec.ops. know-it-all...

i wonder how they would bloody fare in a real-life gun-battle, even for just 20mins (as most airsoft games go this long). won't their ears ring and bleed from all those gun bursts.. won't their bloody shoulders and arms ache from lugging and firing all those rounds and carrying the real rifle.. won't they cower in fear and would they still have the air and pride to walk away standing tall after it all..

they probably would shit their pants on the first gun burst..

and they take this all for granted??



airsoft are a bit expensive toys for the big boys.. but in the end they're still just toys..

i'd rather call it a sport...

In my case it's more of a hobby than a sport. Those who see airsoft as a substitute for paintball can call it a sport. I see airsoft as an extension of my interests in things military, such as books, movies, plastic scale models, computer games and collectibles. Thus, for me, it's a hobby.

Not all of the people in the proposed iStorya.net airsoft team are experienced players. Some are experienced, others are not. Some are active players, others are not (like me hehe). So it's ok to join, it will be also a form of orientation.
