Hey all,
I was a member here at least 10 years ago. I'm in grad school now (so yeah, I was a kid when I was here before) and looking for a new weekend hobby. Airsoft is expensive, but not close to as expensive as track days.
I'm curious what the state of the community is like now; there used to be lots of BT games with guys like Harley, azsarge, legs, etc; how much of that community is still around? Are there still many games without a lot of 16 year olds? Are there any overnight ops to occupy my whole weekend?
I've got about a grand to start with; I'm looking at a Umarex/VFC HK416 unless someone can talk me out of it. When I was buying guns the only choices were TM and CA, so I'm pretty overwhelmed by the selection now.
If anyone has any of the following to get rid of I'd probably take it off your hands:
- All-metal HK416/short M4 with crane stock (bad back, can't hold weight away from body)
- Metal standard caps that feed
- Do people still use NIMH batteries or is it all LIPO now? I'll need a 9.6v butterfly and charger/discharger if NIMH
- Metal P226 or M9 (used to love KJW)
- Smallish plate carrier (at 150lbs most of them are spacious)
- T800s or whatever people are wearing now
- GP68 or similar
By the way, where are people buying guns from now? I can't remember the name, but I always used some long-named all-black site that lost half my stuff to customs.
