Hello, I'm York.
     I just got started playing airsoft about three months ago. It reminds me of bb gun fights years ago.  Plus I get to shoot in the back yard.  I played out at end of Days at the sandbox.

Well, I'm Big Dog, but I guess someone else already has that so I have to use AzBigDog (no prob), I'm really new to all this though I have tactical experience from a previous profession.  :P
Anyway, I'm located in Tucson and have been talking with Tonk, from 52Zulu. I hope to get involved and get things going soon.

Hey guys, just moved out here to Chandler from South Dakota about 3 months ago. Been looking for a new hobby and have always been interested in Airsoft. I'm 27 and have grown up shooting guns and shoot fairly often, but am new to airsoft. Had a spring pistol in college and messed around with a little here and there with other guys at the park, but nothing too crazy. Been searching on line for the best starting gun(s) and such. Any help and or advice would be greatly appreciated!!!
I plan on coming to the swap meet thing tomorrow in Phoenix to take a look at things and hopefully meet some new people. Thanks guys!

Hello, names Danny. Arizona native, born and raised since 84'. I currently live in san tan valley. I have no mil or LE experience. Have been shooting real steel competitions since I was 10 yrs old(CMP High Powered rifles, IPDA, etc.). Could say I'm a mil junky. Went paintballing when I was 16 did that for years but its to expensive and not really a tactical training.
I a friend got me into airsoft a few months ago and had been using his spare gear up to now. I got a mystery box from online to start off.

Look forward to meeting up with some fellow others or teams to run a few games.

Thank you,
Danny

hello, i am a fellow airsofter. im a heavy set guy so i make a perfect heavy gunner as well as a fairly decent juggernaut. i am on a team entitled FRAG. however i am thinking of leaving the group because we rarely play. i would like a team who plays quite often and is fairly close to me. that's me basically. also i do like to make my own gear , recently i have been working on my custom homemade mask.

Hey oh

Pizzman signing on

    New to airsoft. Working on my loadout over summer. Lookin to join a team that plays once a month or so, starting when it cools down. I ride dirtbikes, fly rc helis (a little). 5 years of Pball experience (95-2000). Live really close to fear farm in Avondale.
     I have a GG top tech tr15. I have shimmed, polished the cylinder, swissed the piston, and added a SHS airnozzle. Shoots awesome with a 4 reticle red dot reflex.

If you have a fairly serious team (on the west side), and are looking for a member, hit me up. I am maybe a 7 on the serious scale 1-10. It is a hobby, yes. But I am into tactics, and winning.

Alright see you on the field.....

GG top tech. First in the stable.
Too many hobbies, not enough time.

 Hi I was just able to get my conformation email and login. I have just started playing airsoft about a year ago and instantly got hooked. I mostly like the outside games as you can use a higher fps on your guns. Favorite gun right now is the G&G m14 ebr with a 120 spring. High enough fps (360 .25) to have fun but, not really hurt anyone. I am glad to finally get with this website.
Thanks, WVAirsofter

Hello, I'm a retired Navy Senior Chief.  I joined the Navy in 1968 and soon became part of the "Brown Water Navy" in Vietnam.  I stayed with the Navy for 30 years.  During that time my job was in the patrol boat Navy which after Vietnam became today's SWCC program.  Details from the early days of my River Division 594 duty to my last SWCC service is too long to list here.
I became involved with Airsoft only 4 years ago when my real steel gunsmith skills were used on the new GBB trainer systems.  Even though retired my small arms and general weapons experience was put to work on making serious Trainers from "out of the box" factory GBB Airsoft guns.  For Training use they must be reliable, accurate (within reason) and duplicate the real weapon as close as possible.  To cut this short a years worth of testing and experimenting produced a new format of Airsoft GBB simunition Trainer.  I was requested by law enforcement in SOCAL to produce custom trainers for their use as well.  With CA laws being against Airsoft in total I moved my gunsmith shop to Arizona this year.  I still build for military and law enforcement but I now build for the Airsoft sport users as well.  A Northern Arizona friend who belongs to a "PV" group told me they needed custom GBB guns with the same qualities as the trainers.  SO, WTH... if they have the checkbook I can build it.  I also repair and upgrade all GBB Airsoft guns.  I do full Dura Coat finishes on both Airsoft and real steel.  I build sport guns as I do the trainers.  Replace 99% of the zinc with steel.  Replace the stock hop up with the RA Tech hop up & 6.01 barrel kit and the anti double stack barrel adapter.  I also duplicate the electronic sighting systems with the higher quality Asian sights that are just like the real thing.  Then tune for Co2 GHK magazines.  Add the RA Tech 130% hammer spring for summer light strikes and your good to go.  If you want it to look like the real issue I can do it.  I know what real operators use. 
My "PV" team sport buddy wants me to dust off the jungle BDU's and vintage gear and join the fun.  I'm almost 63 but why not?  Maybe I'll see you out there.  Just look for the museum piece with the GBB XM177 and the 1911A1.  Take Care and thanks for having a commie free state.
