When the enemy team has 10+ grenades.

And three land by me and my charge

Because that would be a very lifting feeling.

Well if you want them to be Assault Marines, we'll have to get some bungee cords and a large overhead structure . . .

This is getting better and better though.

Well when I used to play nerf (long gone pre-airsoft days) I used to use a pistol and nerf sword sooo...

That feeling when we are still in 40k general...

This is my baby:


...When the thread derails into airsoft.
...When you couldn't care less that it did.

...when your making your list and you realize this game is going to cost waaaay more than you originally thought.

...when you get the bright idea of ebaying some stuff cuz its cheaper and now I cant play for a whole week till it gets here

...when you stumble upon the paint/modeling section of dakka and it crushes you because you wont be able to do this for your stupid ebay models

...when you realize it is 4am in the morning and you havent done anything all day but revise your lists and dig through dakka and the net

...when you realize that yesterday was nye and by staying up till 4am you completely forgot and blew off your nye plans

...when you really dont care because making lists and reading stratica was probably more fun

When you want a ghillie suit model so you cut and glue a piece of your airsoft ghillie onto a model and ruin it.

That sinking feeling when you hear a rustling in the bush behind you in airsoft when you're alone (sniper was out)

When you hear 5 rustlings in the bush behind you.

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.

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?.

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.

http://www.evike.com/advanced_search_result.php?search_in_description=1&keywords=m14&x=0&y=0&manufacturers_id=

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...

M14's are pretty heavy actually, comparatively speaking

I would imagine you could fray some burlap and try and glue the strands on then cut them to appropriate length

When the only time you went airsofting was with a group of girls, therefore denying me the ability to "guy out" and play soldiers.

The problem is ghillie suits have to be very thick to keep you warm and prevent you lying on top of something pointy, so if would be as thick as it is long if I put on a model

Yeah, during the summer I was having a water fight with some girls I know (I have a pool) and I got caught up in it and totally merc'd them, I was doing backflips into my pool and shooting them on the way in, and going underwater but holding my gun above the surface and shooting...and it ended with me tackling one of them (gently!!!) that snapped me out of it though

Then we went inside and got drunk and everything was okay

My neighbor was a marine sniper, so he has a ghillie suit from Vietnam. That thing was itchy!

I got three ghillies:

Woodland one from military surplus store

Woodland one from brother in military (I'll probably join when I finish my victory lap/post secondary. Join the canadian snipers-we have some of the best in the World!)

Arctic one made from scratch (as high quality as the other; my brother taught me how they make them in the military)

yeah we just made our own, it actually ends up being higher quality as you can tailor them to fit your needs etc, also lol at laying on something pointy

They're as thick as leather though, pointy stuff isn't even a problem.

And even with purchased ones, you are still supposed to add items from your surroundings.

I use so many bandoliers and army belts it looks like I'm wearing a ghillie suit.

...When you're forced to watch a 2 1/2 hour chick flick. That new Descendants movie sucked!!!!!!

...when you're holding a tank kit box lid full of minis way up high in one hand, then feel something give way with a SNAP! from under your thumb? [I figured my thumb was on a War Walker's base, so I wasn't too too concerned for some sadistic reason]

...when a long while after you put away that box of minis, you bring it down to check on it, and realize that it wasn't the War Walker's base?

Edit: ...when you're trying to take off a War Walker's weapon platform so you can swap the weapon out, and are twisting it, and you finally feel it start to move, have it come off entirely, then notice that there's no peg on the platform anymore? [Still not fixed very well, unfortunately. It keeps popping off randomly despite the plastic glue I tried to use to repair it. But I got the weapon swapped out!]

That feeling when you learn that Bloaty Head doesn't exist.

When your Space Marine mp character suffers from intense lag, then finds out he just got kicked to death and teabagged by a heavy bolter.

When you realize that, for some reason, you can't have flamers. WTF THQ?

....when people start talking about airsoft all the time (airsoft is cool, but a locked thread isnt!)

SM is likely the laggiest game i have ever seen. I want dedicated servers! (fat chance, it's console mainly)

The sinking feeling when you check your gallerys for new votes, and discover that some anonymus prick has put a 1/1 rating ON EVERY FÜCKING IMAGE IN YOUR GALLERY! your nice 7 and 8 paintjob ratings are now 5 and 6, and your coolness ratings are down to 6s as well, having been 9ns before. AAAAARGH!

Generally bad enough to check and find no votes, but that just sucks.

That sinking feeling when this should be moved to off topic...

That sinking feeling when it will probably just get locked instead...

...when you reslise you just spent a morning doing absolutely nothing

Let's make an airsoft thread!

When you sign up for a painting challenge, then realise that you are not going to complete your vow and will have to put the vow failed banner in your signature!
