My Friend, I am not sure how to tell you this, but your quote as follows:
"Im not saying I havent played with airsoft guns. I just want to go into the big leagues rather than doing a night game in a park with all blacked out stuff."
What you seem to be saying is that is what you have been doing, (I call it kinda like little kids peeing in the park in the dark), if so you are crapping on the reputation of the sport of airsoft and bringing down the fine serious players on AA...
You are putting youself in the classification of JAILBAIT, just a matter of time when the local law enforcment community answers a citizens call of armed people all blacked out in a park...
Now my friend that will only spill over onto the legit airsoft communitys reputation in a very bad way...
Now do you really want to be the person that causes a situation like that?
I would suggest you browse thru AA, there is a wealth of info posted to the various areas of AA by some very knowlegable airsofters that will help you in your quest of what you need...
But you must do most, if not all of your own research and have a generous supply of money...
Visit some of the airsoft fields and shops, watch, listen and learn, above all be mature, repectful and you will find many of your answers...
I am not sure that I have heard airsoft guns that go BOOM, and be sure that I know the difference in the sound an airsoft gun makes and a BOOM, don't watch too many videos, look, learn and listen in person...
Nuff Said, going to kennel and dream of the old days when I could still chase cats:)
