...another one. I didn't make my first post here, but #2 isn't too bad. Not much to tell about me, but here goes. I picked up a new GSG-5 the other day (MP5 clone in .22LR) and found out that genuine HK parts fit (while usually needing much modification), but airsoft parts are usually a direct replacement. So, I came here looking for parts. I've never really looked into airsoft because I always thought it was full of little punks and I.T. geeks wanting to play soldier without the commitment (hence the username; kind of like what I originally thought of airsoft, lots of fun but you didn't want your friends to find out), but was surprised to find so many former military in this sport.
I've even seen some familiar usernames from other boards; I had no idea that so many people I know are into this. I also had no idea of the quality of weapons that are available now; the few that I saw initially were really cheesy looking and reeked of "toy gun." But after a bit of research, I became more intrigued. Now, I'm on the lookout for an M4-type rifle, M16A2-type rifle and G21 pistol, if I can locate some that closely mimic my real weapons in weight/function/etc. for CQB/force-on-force training.
Looking forward to learning a lot and bugging the people I know have the answers....
