Ha! My tau make your Pedro Sanchez or whatever his name was (maybe that was the Napoleon Dynamite character) irrelevant because you only needed scouts to butcher my troops!

Lol, my Sternguard murdered 3 Blood Angel assualt squards when assualt squads got the charge, and then my friend's tau murdered thundhawks and other tanks with railguns. SHOOTING IS A LIE

How do you sharpen knives without buying anything? There has to be a way. Like. With special rocks or something.

Find a large and smooth stone, wet it. Then run it along the side of your blade, alternating sides evenly. Ensure it does not get dry or you will scratch the blade, keep it moist.

Thanks. Are smooth rocks I find in creeks appropriate?

I would have, but I thought whetstones were a certain type of stone you have to buy, rather than finding lying around.

No, I didn't mean it like that. It weas just a, for your general knowledge thing. Something that comes in handy when playing in trivial pursuit, the

We don't use grenades much, probably because we both use electric guns and have no reason to buy propane. I've heard they're really cool though. If I had more time before I left home, I'd invest in one or two for fun

I'm thinking about getting like ten low-cap M4 mags (usually like twenty rounds) and playing "real" games where you have to conserve rather than just blasting away on full auto the whole game.

Oh, no problem. Don't worry about it. I wikipedia'd it, and I'm glad you threw the word into the matter.

We use all AEGs as well, but some Army reservist was on my team temporarily for one game. I prefer super-high cap mags of about 650 rounds, and I carry 2-3 of them per game. I'm thinking of getting and airsoft M14. Does anyone know how those are? Which company makes the best for the money?

Haha, 5000 round magazine M60, haven't had that problem in a while

When you realize your an SCA fighter in a thread full of airsoft players;
My assault is to run at you with club,
My outflanking move is to run at you with club,
My ambush is to run at you with club,in 75 lbs of chainmaille and plate,'bout as subtle as an Ork.
You want me to pad my club? then it would hurt less and you wouldnt get those cool bruises!

I just totally got an awesome idea for an Airsoft/SCA hybrid organization . . .

I've fired a real m14. Holy hell it had some kick to it. Fired beautifully.

Classic army makes a real wood one that's quite nice for somewhere in the $300s. Some are cheaper, but have polymer bodies, and run about $260.

Might be able to find a springer for cheap though. Makes it feel more like a marksmanship rifle that way, haha.

Love evike. They're great. So's airsoftgi.com

Haven't used any airsoft M14s, they are mostly all good quality, I've held most at my near-local store.
Yeah, the real ones are probably the most beautiful rifles imo, they are tremendously unwieldy (full-auto, mostly) due to the relative lightness (weight) of the weapon coupled with the strength of the 7.62 cartridge. The M60 fires the same exact round and has a very gentle kick compared to almost any other weapon that fires it (mostly due to the 20+ pounds of steel and aluminum)

...when you notice that you wrote more about the actual gun than the airsoft model...

**Samus_aran115**

Yeah, the m60 can just rock and roll without giving you too much gak. There was a guy at a local range with one. I didn't see him, but jesus, you could hear it. Sounds like..... god, I don't even know. I just know it was an m60.

Speaking of m60s, if I had the cash, I'd invest in an Airsoft M60. They're pretty cool. The good ones have a ROF toggle on them, which is insanely useful, especially if you want to use it like a normal AEG.

http://www.evike.com/product_info.php?products_id=31036

ew, is that the flash hider they're using now? Ugh, I like the old one.

**Squidmanlolz**

Yeah, I saved up last summer, working 5 days a week and bought the VN model, personally I don't like the Mosfet ROF adjuster, so I bypassed it. Imo, it's one of the sexiest weapons (I love cold-war tech) It never fails to turn at least a couple heads on the field. It is a bit hefty though, real to life weight and a lot of steel parts instead of aluminum. Works great as a GPMG, however has difficulty operating as either a light or medium machine gun due to the lack of maneuverability. perfect for directional fire-support.

Would it be similar to how Assault Marines operate? i.e. An airsoft pistol in one hand, and a sword in the other.

Because that would be a very lifting feeling.
