Post by: azsarge on February 20, 2005, 08:27:34 PM
Welcome to the AA boards.

Now, let us know who you are in a few words.  This is the place to tell us whatever you want us to know while reading your posts.  Military or LE experience?  Fantastic, you're not alone.  Ex-paintball player, lots of us here.   Just into military stuff?  Referred to AA by a buddy, or been to a few games but not posted?  Whatever brought you here, let us know.

Everyone should have completed and intro before they lose the "Forum Newbie" indicator.

Likewise, those of you who have some forum "rank" are more than welcome to share what some of us still might not know.

i got a paintball gun when i was nine. After learning that it wasn't something that i could shoot in my backyard i went and looked for something that i could shoot.  Then i stumbled uppon airsoft and have been doing it ever since then.  I have a wide variety of guns and am currently putting together a team.

Nice place you have here.  8)
I suppose the reason I got into airsoft was due to the BB-gun fights I used to get into when I was younger. After a few bb's under the skin I stoped but I never forgot how fun it was.  I never got into paintball because it was

a) expensive IMO
b) Just didnt feel as fun to me.

When Reaver and Pryde showed me how the guns worked and took me to a small local game I was hooked.

Hello,

I've been airsofting with my friends for a while but I've never been part of an organazation before. I consider myself fairly experienced and I do own a lower end AEG, and some high quality springers.

I just wanted to know if there were any teams in Gilbert that I could look into joining. Could I have more info on that. Anyone whose part of a team in Gilbert can just Email me at datallguy@cox.net instead of posting a reply, I eagerly await any replies. Thanks.

Hi.  I live i Scottsdale and have been in airsoft for approximately 1 year.
I own(ed) A mini uzi, pt 92, auto hardball, dpms a-15, m4505, Tm Uzi.  Spikez is really the one who introduced me to all of this.  It's more convenient than real steel, cheaper than paintball, and the guns are more realistic than .177 caliber bb guns.  Im kind of on airsoft probation due to a B on mid terms but i might be able to play again pretty soon.  (Plus the Uzi broke.)

I am Ganef, I used to be spectre on the old forumns but due to technical problems I could not get to my old e-mail adress in time and when i went to sign up with my old name, it was taken...bastard! so after $8 in new nametapes I am ganef, nka, b-pos. I am an eagle scout and played airsoft before I served a mission for my church in east africa(kenya, ethiopia). i have since returned and jumped right back in to the sport I like. I am a student of mechanical engineering at ASU and have always been fascinated by military go-faster gear. I admit I had a eagle tac-3 detachable vest, but now I have a RAV. I thought for a while about paintball, but like the realism and honor of airsoft. I also want to sharpen important gunfighting skills and understand perhaps a little bit of what it means to be in the military. My gear is posted on the gear board. I worked as a welder and machinist and Raith dissuaded me when my homemade steel tappet plate for my mp5 just did not work right. Raith and Kurn and I went to JH school with me and we have been friends ever since, of corse over the 2 years I was gone they have excelled in AA rank where I have not. I am dedicated to airsoft in az and will be around for a while.  Feel free to hit me up for welding projects, I am always looking for a job to do.

Good to have you back "spectre".  You'll get back in the hang of things, it's a bit of an adjustment coming from one lifestyle to another.  Just do not do what one guy I know did.  He was challenged by his bishop to get married within a year and he took that challenge to heart for some reason.  Well with that kind of goal, all that came out of it was alot of fustration and pain. Anyways, looking forward to seeing you at some more AA games.

Hello all. My name is Michael and I am a member of B.O.S. (Brotherhood Of Stuff). I live in Tucson, AZ and have quite a few games of airsoft under my belt. I love reading, going to the movies and the PS2.  I have been playing for a little less than a year and love each and every game. My two favorite guns are the MP5 and the P90.  I’m currently trying to save up enough money to buy a MP5A3, great for CQB.  I’m 27 and am the old fart on my team.  Well I just wanted to say hi and let you guys (and girls) know a little about my self.  I hope that I’m able to get to know all of you and I would love to see any of you at one of our games. Thank You AA for having such a great site that my friends and I can talk and have the chance to meet many great airsofters. Thanks again everybody.

Hi, My name is Levi (A.K.A. Fire-Dice). I started playing a few months ago with a few friends of mine and it developed from there. From the looks of things it looks like thats what a lot of people here have done.  I am 16, I live in mesa, east on McKellips. Kinda far out here but still mesa none the less! I have 1 spring handgun, 1 AEG M16 (although I must say it is quite a poorly made gun) and I just recieved a Spring G33 from Ebay. I Would love to meet you guys some time, chat, hangout and airsoft!!! I love the game though I havent been playing long and have blown all of my checks this school semester on anything airsoft or airsoft related.

Ah, so I'm interested in almost anything military! I was in my high school JROTC for a year and a half. Dropped due to Severe corruption in the battalion (funny how they just had a regional formal inspection and got to keep the yellow star [honor unit with distinction]) But i guess crap happens. Anyways, Send me an e-mail or AIM me sometime, I'd love to chat!

P.S. Any suggestions would be great

Thanks much, I look foward to my first feild day with you all! BTW, I've been reading up and i learned about the websites 'sponsor other players via other players' deal and I think it's something I may have to look further into. If anyone here is qualified to sponsor, im a 16yo i live in mesa and i would be very greatful. My dad allows me to do just about anything airsoft I want, he knows I love it however I dont think he would come to many of the competitions/tourneys if any so.. Any help in that area would be cool!

16/tucson I ddin't really cathc on with the paintball thing, played it once or twice, then moved directly to AEGs. Airsoft in northen tucson used to be strong with good 30+ person games(all in a basic teenage agegroup) airsoft is now pretty much dying as people get lazier and lazier.

I know what you mean sort of. I've only been playing for a few months, I have my own team. It's very small, ~10 people but its enough to have a good few hour game out in the desert. The last few weeks however, My playeres havent been wanting to play and I always have an UNDIEING urge to go airsoft. So I join here as my solution and hope to have a blast! Thank god I got them to go tomorrow  :D  I setup all my BDU gear tonight  8)

Howdy.  I'm Mario and I'm in the USAF.  I'm stationed with my wife in Italy right now but we'll be on the way to AZ in a matter of weeks.  We just started playing with some other Americans here so we're relatively new but we can't get enough of it.  Both of us just purchased TM AEGs (his: G36C, hers: SIG 552 SEALS) and we're having fun just shooting the crap out of eachother.  We're looking forward to settling down in AZ and getting into the swing of things with Airsoft.  

We're both in the military; she's AMMO and I'm EOD.  I think that's about it. :)

There are a couple if airsoft teams here in arizona that are currently recruiting.. BOS, FE, SATAC.  The organize skirmishes and have a very good turn out.

Welcome Mario! You won't find a more welcoming bunch of guys and a couple gals. How long have you been stationed in Italy for?
Title:
Post by: Bomb Squad on March 14, 2005, 04:13:50 AM
Been in Italy for over 2 years now.  Before I was in S.Korea and before that I was in Minot, ND.  Italy is great but it's a different kind of life than the States, that's for damn sure.  While I'll miss snowboarding in the Alps of Austria and driving 235km/h on the autostrada, it'll be nice to get back to American life.

Just a question if anyone cares to answer (since I can't make a topic yet) but what's the average "playing career" of the people here online?  I'm just kind of curious as to how long you guys/gals have been playing in Arizona.  I just started a few weeks ago and won't want to join a teams that's ubergood.

I've been playing for almost 2 years with AA, minus the past 8 months.  

With regards to joining a team that is "ubergood", I think you'll fit in just fine with Superfly TNT! 8)

Hey guys, I just finally signed up forum, I have been to one airsoft game and that has been a good couple of months. I'm a friend of MAD SARGE, we've been friends since.. I think seventh grade.. Sarge will correct me if I'm wrong. Anyways just a couple of months ago I bought my own AEG Thompson so I don't have to borrow Sarge's Mp5. It's really sweet, it spits out bb's in a streamline and so I hope to be able to use it soon. Me, Sarge and some other friends have had some skirmishes up around the Forest Lakes area and even though its not like a airsoft game with 40-50 people it is still fun. I hope to be seeing ya all soon

Ya your right, I guess AZSARGE was wasting his time when he wrote this http://www.airsoftarizona.com/forumbb/v ... php?t=6052 (http://www.airsoftarizona.com/forumbb/viewtopic.php?t=6052)

I especially like the part about

"Learn all you can and realize that you don't have to post just for the sake of posting."
 "If you act like an idiot and post ridiculous trash, we will form an opinion of you based upon that. "

I guess he must have misssed reading that.  :shock:

Hi,
I just joined a couple days ago. I was raised as a military brat. Don't have any official military training but can be pretty intense and fun at the same time. I got into airsoft by my neighbors screwing around in the park in the neighborhood. Once I really got into the little squirmishes and purchased a serious AEG they all chickened out. I've always been into military tactics. Now is an opportunity for me to try my skills. I don't know anyone that is involved with Airsoft arizona, so if anyone that lives in Gilbert can give me a call 602 791-8334 or email me j_figueroa2003@yahoo.com I would definitley appreciate it.

Looking forward to my first event.

Thanks guys!

Hey all, my real name is Brian. I've been born and raised in Arizona for all my life as long as I can remember. I was introduced to airsoft in the 6th grade. Unfortunatly, i wasn't allowed to purchase a gun because my mom thought they were too risky. Finally, in the seventh grade, I purchased my first springer in September. Boy was that the day. Anyways, not to get off topic, I've been playing ever since that day. I am now a frosh in HS so that's been three years. I own an assortmant of springers as well as a KWA M11A1(Mac 11). Before, I've been use to backyard battles so I never needed to save up for an AEG. But now, since airsoft is becoming more of a popular sport, and wonderful organizations, such as AA, are popping up all over the place, i'm going to have to start saving :D. Well anyways, nice to meet you all.

Hello everyone,
Just wanted to introduce myself. I've been looking into airsoft for a while, and figured this would be the place to start actually playing. I just bought an ICS m4a1 Car-97, and I am extremely pleased wtih it. Even stock, its better than the little springer handguns I've had. Looking forward to getting a chance to meet you all on the field.

A little about me for anyone who cares: (i will not be offended if you dont read beyond this line)
I am planning to serve my country by being in the Marines... eventually. My step-father was a Ranger, so I have some pretty big shoes to fit into. (im also trying to get him into airsoft)
Cars are my life. Im currently rebuilding a 1976 Bronco. So far it has a '93 Mustang 5.0 302 engine... fully rebuilt Jeep tranny... dana40's front and rear... and so many small details done i cant even name.

oh... and please excuse the nickname... couldnt think of anything so i used my Halo nick...

Hey everyone, Im new to Airsoft, I got interested in it because Im a gun nut and a stargate fan and I wanted to see about getting a airsoft P-90 and one thing led to another so here I am! I am ex USAF. I currently compete in USPSA IPSC matches and a local steel match at Rio. I stopped in at jungletoy one day and kinda got hooked on all the cool stuff, the only airsoft gun I have right now is a custom P-14 (para ordance) that I did some work too. Im interested in getting a P-90, M4 , and a sniper rifle. I may be helping ron at jungle toy with the new airsoft IPSC matches. I was going to list my P-14 for sale in the classifieds so that I can build another gun but the classifieds are locked? Any takers,? contact me for photos or we can meet at one of the jungle toys if your interested. Cool place you have here.

First off, welcome. Second, you can't start your own topic until you have 10  posts. Its a buffer for the 13yr-old kid to get him used to posting and whats "expected". Obviously doesn't apply to you, but just get a few more posts in and you're good to go.

Hi, my name is Joe.  I went to the Second Chance event with my older brother Chayote and got hooked on the game.  Currently in the military stationed at Davis-Monthan AFB.  Right now all i own, sort of, is a cheap electric AK47, but once I find out where the armoury on base is I plan on buying some more weapons.

Hey, my name is Joe. I live in Colorado but have family in the Pheonix and Tucson areas and visit every December. I am the leader of Task Force Delta for about 2 years now. I started playing paintball then made the switch. I am hoping to get out to a few games this winter with you guys.

Either you forgot the "1" before his age, or you are out of your mind!

If he is indeed NINE years old, YES, BY ALL MEANS, HE IS TOO YOUNG!

I'm not telling anyone how to be a parent, but I am surprised at how young some of these kids are these days.  Pretty soon, we are going to start seeing toddlers out on the field.  "Hey, if he can hold the gun, he can use it", huh?

I for one find it boring to play with anyone younger than 17.  I've met a few hardcore players that are 15-16, but for the most part I derive no pleasure from shooting minors in the face while they stand in an open field.  I don't know many adults that have fun playing with kids; there is just not much of a challenge!

Ok, let me get this straight for all of you who don't know me personally.

I have nothing against kids.  I was 13 once, not too long ago in fact, and remember exactly what its like.  I enjoy what they have to say and show them the respect they deserve.

However, I do not want to hang out with them, and I don't want to be friends with them.  I'm 23.  When I go out on Saturday night, it's not with kids.  When I go to work, it's not with kids.  When I go play airsoft, why would I want to play with kids?  It's not that their stupid, or that I dislike them, I simply do not find it enjoyable.  There is no challenge to it, and I almost feel bad when I shoot them.  Not my idea of fun.  I want to go out with guys that are my age or older, and are of my skill level or better.  If I'm not getting my ass handed to me by someone with a better gun, and better tactics, I'm not learning.  I have yet to meet anyone under 18 that can out-shoot me on the field.

When it comes to the forums, it's a bit different.  90% of the retarded sh*t posted here is by a minor.  Call it whatever you want ("Age Profiling" sounds good to me :) ), but I tend to be a bit less lenient towards minors.

So, in closing, don't think I hate minors or think they should be banned from playing airsoft.  I simply wish them to be a bit less chatty, and pay attention to what the big boys have to say.  There is something to be said for these young bucks, 15 or 16 years old, that come to every game and can hang with the older guys when the whistle blows.  By the time they are my age, they will be some awesome players!  Nothing can beat experience.

I hope you guys understand and keep this in mind next time I rip you a new one. 8)

Well being an ex vet myself serving in desert storm and scout I have no problem with him being 9 and yes maybee im out of my mind for giving him what he wants and being a dad to him. As far as him playing with you guys that I can understand but when you get kids your self you will want to do a lot with him infact all you can and be there for your kids. I am sorry I put you in a position were you felt to rip and tell me im out of my mind. I will gladly withdraw my membership and have paypal refund me. Take care all and good luck.

Post by: IcePlatinumSky on April 20, 2005, 05:10:26 PM
Its nothing personal, we just have never played with anyone that young before. At are woodland games everyone is shooting 400fps. My brother is 9, and I would not let him play. Of course he is very sensitve, and alittle immature. I am sure your kid maybe a tuff little guy. However, that just would make me very paranoid in a game. On a side note I wish my Dad was as attentive as you.

If you want to walk away that quickly, I won't stop you.

HOWEVER, my intention was not to bust your chops, sir.  Like I said, I'm not giving out parental advice because if I did, I'd be full of sh*t since I have no children.  If you see fit for him to play, and he can handle it, that's totally cool with me!  

My point was simply that he might not be able to "hang" with some of the fast-paced action we have at games.  You're his father, and given your past experience, you know best.  

I highly encourage you both to come out to a game!  There are a few other father/son groups out here and I love to see it!  Please do not take what I said as derogitory, as that was not my intention.

Hey, just found your site.  My friends and I started airsofting in Jan/Feb and are trying to find people to play with, since there are only six of us.  I'm from east Tucson, and my friends are farther to the southeast, mostly in Rita Ranch, if you know the area.  I use a KWA Beretta M93r as my primary weapon.  My friends all have AEGs, but it doesn't take 600 BBs to get a hit, a lesson I've been able to teach them =P.  I hope there's some people here that we can get together with from time to time.  Some of us are considering attending that NOD/GDI simulation weekend event.

I haven't invested a whole lot.  I'm just a poor college student delivering pizza.  All I've gotten is a leg holster, but it was poorly designed and one side of the pistol strap had a snap, so I lost it pretty quickly, and it flops all over now...so I don't even really use that.  A few of my friends wear BDU, but I can still see them fairly easily, so I don't really feel like I need any camouflage yet.  We'll see how I do in a large group with experienced players, though =P.  I was thinking that one of these would be pretty cool: http://www.uscav.com/productinfo.aspx?p ... 188&pos=17 (http://www.uscav.com/productinfo.aspx?productid=7730&tabID=137&categoryID=188&pos=17) hehe but that's just pipedreaming.

Hello Im 16 years old and have been playing airsoft since I was twelve. I was introduced to it by my brother, who used to be a member of this team. I was instantly hooked becuase of the tactical aspect of the game, and I'm really interested in military stuff. I've owned a G3 A3 springer made by some obscure company, the famed Super-9, an ICS MP5 SD5, and now I have a TM FAMAS 5.56 F1 that is half way between a support weapon and a sniper rifle, I haven't figured out what I'm gonna do yet. I am currently on a team called Awatukee Tactical.

Hey guys, I'm sort of reintroducing myself as I'd like to get out and Airsoft once more, I joined last summer and only attended one AA event, the August Prescott match. I never got any of the stuff I was supposed to get after joining (death rag, name tape, all that) probably my own fault not getting in touch with whoever I was supposed to get in touch with. Anyway, I got caught up in school shortly after joining (I'm a student at ERAU in Prescott) and my time for this kind of stuff went down around 0. Now with summer approaching I'd like to get involved again and get to know all of you. I hope to attend several events in the coming months and get involved once more. Thanks and could someone in charge please respond or email me (larve949@erau.edu) to talk about getting the membership stuff (if necessary I'll pay the fee again).

Hello all,
Great forum you have here. Here’s my rundown. I played PB back about ten years ago (when you actually wore camo) and I was thinking about playing again. When I started to do some research I’ve discovered how horrible PB is nowadays. MX jerseys, Chrome and anodized $2000 markers, Bad sportsmanship and rampant cheating! WTF! I want no part of this crap. What I want is something more realistic and exciting and I think I’ve found it. The cost is pretty reasonable and the whole experience looks awesome. Time to do some NEW research. Thanks for letting me rant.

Welcome to the boards.  Many of people here are such as yourself.  WTF!  And so many turned to airsoft.  After your research, if there are any questions you may have, feel free to ask.  
Just an FYI we have a minimum post count inorder to be able to start a thread.  We have this now due to an infestation of fly by nighters, who posted thier crap to sell and then never posted again. Don't worry its not to stringent, so people like you can get started in thier new hobby.  Have fun!

Hi all, I am Ralph.

My wife and I have lived in Phoenix for just over a year. We moved down from the Chino Valley/Prescott area.

Currently we are looking for new freinds, as well as something to do, that we can both enjoy.

My step-son first brought airsoft to our attention last summer, when he came down to visit with us. Since then I have occasionally, and half heartedly looked differant things up about the sport, and have found myself becoming more an more interested in getting involved.

Oh......on the lighter side, I did read the posts about children posting on the forum, and.... well.... we do have a 18 month old. But about the only time she'll be posting is when she climbs into one of our laps and starts hittng keys at random, while we are trying to type......so please be nice to her.....lol.

Not to start this up agian, but most of us here dont like that company for many reasons.   Other than Jungle Toy here locally, everything else is on the internet.  Jungle Toy is realitively new here and its nice to have.  Hey Ron where is my advertising check?   :lol:

I second that.  Jungle Toy is the sh*t.  Great selection for a local store, fully stocked with the essentials like gas and BBs of every weight.  Best part?  The staff knows their sh*t!  The "other" airsoft retailers around here are staffed by clueless teens whose airsoft gaming experience does not extend beyond the doors of their store.

We have games all the time, check the boards. We have people who come from all over the valley, Tuscon, and even Colorado to play at games, so it's not like airsoft is a "local" area hobby.  Airsoft is not something that you go to your local park and play, like you do with soccer.   We play out of the city limits and try to find secluded areas to play in. So, this nature requires the player to achieve some mode of transportation instead of traveling a few miles from one's house.  If I miss interpeted how you used the word "near", I appologize.

From my experience (being 2 games) these are all great guys. Even Busta_cap, believe it or not. Just kidding Busta.

My thoughts are, (not to say you did this) if you go into this thinking you are the sh**, you will be treated like sh**. A lot of these guys have been doing this for years. I'm sure they were new guys too. You've been to one game. It was great you volunteered to take point. But a lot of times some of your strategy may not go your way due to lack of training and consistency. You have to remember you are the NEW GUY. Make an effort to make friends. Don't expect them to run up to you and kiss your feet. Hang back and enjoy being there participating. DON'T EXPECT TO MUCH OR YOU'LL JUST DISAPPOINT YOURSELF. KEEP AN OPEN MIND!!

Go to the next game this weekend. It looks like it'll be big. We'll be the new guys. There'll be some new guys there I'm sure. I'm the guy they say looks like Tiger Woods.

Forgive me, I may have made it sound worse than it was. I had fun but I can definitely say that I wasn't acting like I was the Shiznit. If anything they may have been annoyed by how many questions I was asking. I might be new to airsoft but I'm not new to this time of game. I used to do a fair amount of laser tag and paintball. Granted those experiences paled in comparison, but at the same time, it seemed that people were selling me short because they had never seen me before or something. I apologize if I sounded arrogant. Sometimes I just get passionate, especially when people act like I'm incompetent. I have no problem with following someone else into battle. No one likes to feel as though they are not getting enough credit for who they are and what they can do. I look forward to seeing you all on the battlefield but, unfortunately, I don't think I'll be able to make it this weekend. Maybe LCIV.

Yay. Another Red Green fan! Welcome to the boards and keep coming to games - as people get to know you it becomes all the more fun. I can't say why you got the "cold-shoulder" treatment (as you put it), but don't worry about it. As was mentioned above, lots of the guys have been playing for awhile with each other, so events tend to turn into social gatherings too. I felt a little "out of the loop" at my first AA game, but never unwelcome. As for asking questions, go ahead, just try to do some research first and then ask ;) .

:roll: In high school we used to play a game with pencil and paper during class when we were bored. We called it "bank robbers" It was a hypothetical game where we would say stuff like "you're robbing a bank and...." Then we would draw a map on the paper of the bank. The page would go back and forth kinda like that game where you have to figure out how to survive the worst survival situations imaginable.  Is there anything like that for airsoft on this forum? I think I could learn alot from the norms by asking hypothetical questions but I don't want to flood the general topic section if there are other areas to do that.

I just recently discovered this stuff- co-worker pointed me here.  The idea alone caught my interest more than pb ever did.  My schedule sucks though, don't have weekends.  Maybe if anything is happening on Wed or Thu? :? (doubt it)

So for right now I'm just sayin hello, perhaps more if I can get a regular schedule.

Post by: Phynstok on May 21, 2005, 03:16:39 AM
Hi, I know what you mean about scheduling but it's well worth every effort to find the time. If necessary, schedule time off with work. I don't know about your job now, but at my old job if you didn't use your vacation days by the end of the year, you lost them. 8)

Hi all, My name is Dennis, but I go by FLASH. I got the name FLASH for PC gaming in F-18 Hornet, it was my Callsign.
I am ex-USAF, Ex-Paintball player.
I played paintball from 1989 till about 1996, I wrote articles in Paintcheck and Action Pursuit Games magazines.
I travelled all over the USA and Canada playing Paintball, but the game changed into a game of who can dump the most paint out, and who had the newest gun.
I am looking forward to Airsoft as it holds the promise of real Wargaming, and fun.
Hope to see you all in a game soon, or maybe when it aint so damned hot!
I have a KJW-M9 and just about to buy a MP5!

I am a drummer, a pilot, and a longtime Aviation Sim pilot.
I dig playing Rainbow 6/ Urban Ops/Ghost Recon!
I use tactics onfield, some of them are a bit strange, but effective!

Later

Hi, I'm just moving to the state from PA and figured here was the place to check out if i ever wanted to use all of this hundreds of dollars of gear i have.  Of course, i have a few questions about you guys.

are you one group, or many?

do any of you allow ww2 airsofters or am i out of luck?

where do you play? is it out in the desert, in some sort of facility or in a ghost town of some sort?

what days do you guys play on? i'm used to every saturday having a game out here

i'll be out there in tempe around early july so hopefully i can get 'softin quickly after i arrive


as for my equipment,

gbb p38 pistol and holster
marushin maxi 8mm shell ejecting k98
p90 with destroyed sights, extra hicap mag
corresponding ww2 winter gear

but hopefully i'll have the summer weight hbt uniform before i move out there otherwise i'll be dying in the heat

i've been softing for about 2 years now but my aim still sucks, only thing remotely close to military experience would be the civil air patrol for 3 years, otherwise i'm a computer jockey.

very much into armored operations and the germans in ww2 (note: the nazis were assholes and deserved what they got, i simply respect the accomplishments of the wehrmacht) and i dont mind taking a few bb's for the team in a headlong rush if i am so ordered

Post by: Vince on May 26, 2005, 09:58:18 AM
Well, AA is like, an organization, and there are a couple of groups...but those comprise the minority of AA's membership. There's like SWAIRTAC and Brotherhood of Stuff and Fatal Exception, but that's like 10% of AA.

As long as you're honorable and like to have fun, then chances are you'll get along well, regardless of gear. You might be a little out of place though. Most of the players that you'll end up playing with at open games (non-AA sanctioned games) are pretty hardcore, and they're really into milsim. Modern milsim.

Well, given the, temperate, to say the least, climate of Arizona, where we play rotates throughout the months. When it's not so hot, usually the Four Peaks Recreational Area or Bushnell Tanks. As it gets closer and closer to summer, the staging times get earlier and earlier until everything gets moved up north.

All the playing gets done on Saturdays. There's usually an open game every weekend, where, like I said, you'll see the hardcore airsofters.

That being said, I'm still a new guy myself, but, I think I answered your questions pretty passably.

Hmm.... 13th Merc Force are not members of AA and Merc and myself will be there....  :shock:


However I do suggest you read the rules and COC's.

Correct me if I am wrong Mikey but you do not have to be an AA member to be at the game. You do need to be 18 or have a parent or legal gaurdian accompany you and stay the whole time you play. However seeing your age I don't think that applies.  ;)

It was my understanding that to go to AA sanctioned operations, you had to be a member. Maybe that rule's been relaxed, but I dunno. If that turns out to be incorrect, I'll edit my previous post, so, PM me if you know for sure.

Hey everyone!!! This is my first post in these forums and I am just starting to get into airsofting... I bought a gun about a month ago and now found out it is the biggest piece of junk out... It only shoots about 40 feet or so...

I am not rich so I am on a budget and I feel ripped off with my first gun... that is 50 bucks I could have spent on something better!!! oh well... I want to go to a match but I don't have the stuff needed... When there is a game in Mesa tell me... I will come and watch and see how you all play...

Maybe even play a round if you all let me!!! I have only played 1 game and it was with 5 people. not very fun... But then I played a close range game and it was fun!!! Cause I could actually shot people!!! haha!!! Anyways I am trying to get started so help me out!!! Tell me when there is a Mesa game!!!
Title:
Post by: -MAD- SARGE on June 15, 2005, 10:11:28 PM
Welcome to the boards.  1st off there wont be a game in Mesa, as we play outside the city limits for most things.  Most games held out by Mesa are held at Bushnell Tanks or in the 4 Peaks area.  All of which are nice and hot to play at right now, but some non-offical games may be held there.  When it cools off again there will be alot of games happening out there.  If you able to get out to a game here, your more than welcome to come out to see what a real AEG looks and feels like.

I've played maybe a dozen games so far, all of them with 5 people or less (the fifth being a hostage to keep the teams even), and so far, I'm finding it to be pretty fun, except for the night games... (I've got really bad night vision.)  I just can't wait 'til I can get to a real game and really have fun! :D

Hey all. Just wanted to introduce myself to everyone that I haven't met yet.

My name is Aaron and I've been playing airsoft with my team "Desert Combat Operatives" for a little over 4 years now. I used to be very active in the Airsoft community but time/money got in the way and I've been out of the loop for about a year or so. Our team has been reassembled and we are ready to get back into action and are excited to meet many of the new members of the Airsoft community in Az.

We are planning on hosting a game on the 2nd of July to get some action in and meet some of the new faces on the forums. I tried to make a post declaring the game but it would seem that the AA forums have changed a bit since I have been here last and I am now considered a "newbie". Which means I cannont make any new threads. Can anyone enlighten me on how many posts are needed before one can start a new thread?


Anywho, I'm excited to be back and ready to get back to Airsofting. Hope to see many of you out on the field!

You play in a wash behing a neighbourhood, can't wait to see you on the 6'oclock news.

I'm Zack, live in Gilbert, and have been airsofting for about a year. I had never heard of AA until I was looking for new ways to play because ours were getting old. After I found some this place seemed fun and I wanted to stay for awhile more.

its funny that you say that, because a cop came out to see what we were doing. not only did he let us continue, he said he'd join in if he wasnt on duty. so next time, mr andyhinds, dont make stupid witty comments. thanks.

I asked because it isn't that often that we get a new group of adult players who already have AEGs and all. Cool.

The issue about playing near a neighborhood isn't a legal one. It's a public perception one. There's a wash in phoenix that used to get used a lot, but a couple of people in the area didn't like having kids with fake guns running around behind their houses. We generally try to get as far away from civilization as possible to play.

yea i know. the cops have only come out once out of the many times we've played, and the wash itself is far from houses. but you're right, it would be best to find a more secluded area.

Hey everyone, how's everybody doin? I'm new to the forum as I'm sure anyone can see, but I'm not new to airsoft. I've been wanted to talk with other airsofters from around the country. I have a team up in Michigan, anyway I figured I would say hi to everyone.

Stupid I guess "newbie" question I know, but... Where do I have to post in order to be able to create new threads in other areas. To be honest other than to meet and chat with other airsofters, I also have airsoft products for sale.

Hey everyone, I just transferred over from the Hawaii Airsoft forums, great bunch of guys there, but there's not as much activity. Plus I'm only in Hawaii whenever I have summer or winter break. Most of the time I'll be in Phoenix for school.

My roommate got me hooked on airsoft, although I already knew about it before we met. I first heard about it when I was in high school, taking part in the school's air rifle team. On the weekends our coach would let us bring in airsoft guns and fire them at our regular targets. Anyway I started off with a cheapo KWC Sig P226 (still have it, good for plinking) and I recently bought a Tokyo Marui SPAS12, but I will be purchasing a Tokyo Marui M16A2 with a 350fps upgrade.

How's everyone?  I hate getting on new forums but I gots no choice.  I am in the Army and will be at FT Huachuca for a few months (not til Jan or Feb).  I am looking for a local team to hook up with to get some trigger time.  I am deployed now and I'm just trying to plan ahead.  I will be bringing my guns and crap so I will just need a place and people to shoot.  I been into airsoft since 97 and I have played in Okinawa, Japan and on the East Coast (NC, GA) so I kinda have a feel for the game.  I would appreciate any replies or leads on where to look or who to contact.  Any information would be disco.  Thanks, Tony

Douglas here. I'm a former 82 ABN combat medic, tab ranger (back in the day almost the ENTIRE 82nd went to ranger school - so I'm not batallion but I still kicked ass!) and also 11B infantry. Not may medics even knew what a Kevlar was and hod not seen their weapon since the day they picked up thier armory card from the REMFs in admin.

Anyway, I just bought my first AEG - an Airsoft Elite ICS MP5SD6. I have not done a lot of airsoft but back before they had cool guns like these we used our bb guns (the ones that shot little metal balls) and learned how to not be seen in the woods! In the service we used "simunition" more than laser tag and you got to know when you were hit.

So hello all! I'm not some kind of badass or general Stiner wannabe, just an old Alabama boy suck here in the desert (actually, I have a nice place in Arrowhead Ranch) who loves wargames!

I've been looking for a place to Airsoft with people who know what they're doing. (It gets rather strange firing at cans in the parking lot of my apartment complex. sheesh does that get some looks.) I have a Sig PP6 but plan on purchasing a Marui USP. I also have a SIG-515 electric rifle but its low quiality. Any games coming up that would allow the full autoness of my SIG? I'm in Phoenix by the way.

Allow full-auto?  At every game, bro!  The only restrictions are when we have the occaisonal semi-only games.

Welcome to the boards. No offense, but work on the punctuation a bit, some people get annoyed. Stick around, and try not to say something TOO stupid. Listen ot what the older guys say, and don't piss anyone off. You'll find lots of great guys here, easy to get along with, and plenty of helpful information(if you have a question, search for it before you ask, most likely, it can be found). I look foward to seeing you at a game(and finally, a new guy older than 18!!!).

There is a section of these boards that lists all the months of the year...under the specific month that you wish to play a game, there are sub posts with the specifics about that said game....you are welcomed to 99.9% of all games there....just make sure of age limits, equipment, and directions..and you will be fine.  Welcome to Airsoft!!

BTW look at the for sale section..there are alot of good deals on quality AEGs and GBBs.    ;)

Thanks,

I am a newbie to this airsoft, some of you have met me at the July 3rd thing. I pretty much have no idea about all the technical stuff people refer to with their guns but am learning slowly. Invested in one gbb pistol, and am getting another soon. Have a $100 Aug as my main weapon, but am working on getting a KWJ M700 sniper rifle and probably an M4 in the next month. I have been frustrated with the amount of airsoft engagements in the Tucson area...so if you are aware of one, please invite me, i will wear green or tan, let me know what is needed.
I also have 2 extra sets of desert camoflauge uniforms, as I recently got out of the Navy reserves, if youre interested, PM me

Post by: Firebert on July 29, 2005, 07:42:56 AM
Hi, my name is Arthur and I am new to airsoft and.... blah blah blah.

I moved here from Chicago last year and have met up with some guys into airsoft so I though I would check it out.  The guy at Jungle Toy told me about the Afrizona Airsoft board so I though I would check it out.  I started in paintball when I was 13-14? (very much against my dad's approval)  I always liked the airsoft guns but never had anyone to play with till now, so I figured Ill pick one up and check it out.

There are alot of players in Phoenix.
Just keep your eyes on the calendar here on the site and you will see many games, they average about 2 or 3 a month. There is a game coming up on the 6th here in Tucson. Just contact Reaver or Andyhinds for details or check the Team Fatal Exception forum for details.

I hope to see you on the field soon.

Right now I have an M4 springer rifle.  I know it's horribly outmatched, so I'd have to borrow my friend's cheap MP5 aeg for awhile (with only 1 mag, of course...)  Eventually gonna buy me a proper aeg, once I get my exorbinant tuition/school shopping done... :roll:

I started on Airsoft Zone...long time ago. Got into airsoft because I wanted an MP5 after watching Die Hard with a friend. Never knew people went out and shot at each other with these things when I got my first MP5. After that, I fell in love all over again. Well, thats all for now. If you have any questions or comments, please let me know.

Yuma is the armpit of the universe, but YPG is the sh*t!  

I just spent 2 weeks there with my Battalion, and saw, did, [and drank;)] some awsome stuff.   I did not hear of any airsoft games locally, but I did see a bunch of Marines on pre-deployment training with -53's and Snakes.

Name is Josh. Im ex-military currently Law enforcement. I reside in Tucson. I was an avid paintball player up untill about three years ago when one of my rivals decided to inflict some bodily harm and cranked his marker up around 320fps, he came over my bunker, planted the tip of his marker into my right shoulder, and lets just say I've got a pretty nice scar from the whole experience. So I decided to lay off the paintball seen for awhile and recently got a chance to play a couple of scenarios using airsoft with some buddies from work and man am I hooked. So I'm starting out and trying to figure out what my armory should consist of. Any suggestions for a decent setup would be nice and I look forward to shooting or being shot by all of you very soon.

Well, since you're former military, get what you had if you want. That'd be neat! But, you can always do the trendy thing and get Multicam!

It's nice to have more former military and current law enforcement on the boards.

Welcome, Falcon. That guy that sold you your first airsoft gun was almost definitely Ron, who now manages multiple locations of a real airsoft store in the area. -> http://www.jungletoy.com

Don't worry about teams or any of that stuff. Most players aren't on one and just show up to games. We are a big group and usually mix up the teams a bit for each game. There are plenty of organized teams around, but I'd suggest coming out to a few games before you decide if you want to join one.

Ditto!

And remember, if you get hooked enough to buy an AEG, you can always get another gun from ron.. like their new brand, "SRC" I think it is, for super friggin cheap. And, there is plenty of help on these forums about teams and etc, but, you can always go to JT, and Ron and Jeremiah are always willing to talk about the ups and downs, as they're on the same Airsoft Addicts team.

.. but they're horrible, I beat them all the time  :lol:

Post by: RangerBob on August 15, 2005, 01:18:04 PM
My name is Rob, I started airsoft about six years ago.  I joined the military and drifted away from friends and people I knew who played.
Im settled and out of the army now and been getting an itch to play again.
I've still got two old AEG's, likely need some work as they have not been maintained since I last used them (Any advice on what things I should absolutely have done before firing them again would be useful).  I guess before I start again I'd like to know how often I'd have the opportunity to play out around here, I live in Sierra Vista.
Well, I guess I'm off to go see whats new in Airsoft and check the possibility of just buying a new gun.

On the old dogs: The AEG's are both TM, MP5 with larger battery bigger spring and upgraded gearbox.  G3, stock.

Post by: m-79_Grenadier on August 15, 2005, 03:08:28 PM
If theyve been sitting for that long, then the first thing that would be the most prone to being shot would be the piston o-ring. Usually after about a year they start to shrink a small amount due to the compression that they are constantly under fom being compressed in the cylinder. This is a sopmewhat easy replacement and costs about 70 cents at ACE.

The other thing would be the spring. Now, if the spring was compressed and the piston was in the rearward position, then its probably all but dead. And even still, when the piston is in its most forward position, the spring is still somewhat compressed. But there is a sigificantly less chance that it would have sustained as much damae as it would in if the piston was in the rearward position.
So if you find out that one gun is shooting fine, an the other is drifting bbs at 180 fps, then its a good chance that the spring in the latter was compressed during its time of inactivity.

Welcome Brother.  A wise decision to leave the messy, expensive world of paintball....but airsofting can get pricey too  ;)   There are alot of games going on and as soon as it gets cooler..there will be ALOT more.  Take a trip to your nearest Jungle Toy and take a few bucks...get yourself a nice gbb (gas blow back) pistol..I recommend the high capa, and if you can swing it, a full AEG and a high cap.  You can use your paintball mask, but it might be a little more comfortable to wear shooting glasses.  Welcome again, and see you out there!!!!!!!

Hey guys, I came here because I was looking for something to get me out of the house where I can go and have fun be outdoors and shoot the crap out of someone. Hell this sounds like the perfect place Huh? Actally I have been interested in airsoft and paintballing for a long time, it was something that I had always wanted to do but never go into it. Now I am thinking its about time I did, now I am a long time FPS player, gun lover, tactical specialist. I lived in the united kingdom for four years of my life and while I was there I joined the british army cadets and I had a grand old time doing that so I love to get out in the rough and tumble and have a good time.

I am nineteen years old and I live in mesa arizona, my real name (although among the trecherous internet I use the Callsign Kozuka which is the name for the traditional handle of katana) is Ian Bartelds and I think I am going to be spending some time here in the future.

Thanks and Hello.

My current pride and joy is my NBB Walther P99 that's Silenced and has a tactical flashlight. (and yes, the silencer actually does a pretty damn good job)

Still working on getting gear, BDU's, etc.

Welcome to the boards.


If you don't mind me asking, (since I can't create a new thread) what would you suggest for someone who wants to get into airsoft but doesn't want to spend the money without trying it out first? Is there anywhere I can go and rent the full kit? I don't have anything at the moment, but I would like to go to a game and talk with you guys and get the overall *feel* of what an airsoft game is like before I commet the $400+ to getting all the equipment.

Thanks

Well.. For about 160 bucks you can get a GBB pistol, goggles, ammo and gas at Jungletoy or the mail-order joints.

You really don't need cammies, LBG, etc. right now. Just a weapon and ammo.

AA rents out a AEG if you contact Paco prior to a AA game.

If you don't mind me asking, (since I can't create a new thread) what would you suggest for someone who wants to get into airsoft but doesn't want to spend the money without trying it out first? Is there anywhere I can go and rent the full kit? I don't have anything at the moment, but I would like to go to a game and talk with you guys and get the overall *feel* of what an airsoft game is like before I commet the $400+ to getting all the equipment.

Thanks
Kozuka


Its understandable that you want to test out stuff to get a feel for what you like...most JTs will let you "test" fire some AEGs they carry to make a sale...and alot of our brothers/sisters in this sport would not be opposed to letting you fire thier babies out on an AO for a few rounds...just ask nicely and show you're interrest..most will accomodate you.  ;)

I might just do that, but I don't have a car. So getting all the way down there near marana is a big problem (it's a shame I used to live down in the sahuarita area it would of been really easy then).

Thanks for the support, I might go down the the JT down in Tempe and ask some questions, get a feel of the airsoft rifles see what I like and don't it's kind of hard to tell just looking at a picture online.

Well.. For about 160 bucks you can get a GBB pistol, goggles, ammo and gas at Jungletoy or the mail-order joints.

You really don't need cammies, LBG, etc. right now. Just a weapon and ammo.

AA rents out a AEG if you contact Paco prior to a AA game.

Chip


I might just go down and buy a GBB Package with the glasses, as for Mikey I did a search for some members. No one by the name mikey but I found a post by Paco dealing with renting. That might be an option too we'll have to see.

Anyways, I am greatful for all of your replys and I hope I can get into a game real soon.

Thanks

That would be great but it doesn't look like I'll be able to make it all the way down there, most of my family is going up to visit relatives this weekend and I will be stuck with no transportation. Unless I could hitch a ride with one of you guys and chip in some money for gas (I don't expect a free ride) I could do it, I'd also have to go and get some safety goggles this week.

Peace

Welcome to airsoft, man.  I just got in about a month or so ago, been to two games, and I love it.  Getting into it, I'd recommend a few different things.

JT carries the KJW M9 (I have one and LOVE it) in a variety of package deals.  A bit short of $100 oughta get you one and the extras you need, like gas and bbs.

Consider a shotgun.  Not the most advanced weapon airsoft-wise, but they're cheap (about $20 bucks), you can use them in pistols games, and theyr'e fun.  Decent rate of fire, and most of them can carry about 200-300 rounds at a time.

Think about getting one of the low-end AEGs, maybe an MP5.  They're not much good at range and they're probably going to run out of energy pretty quick in a regular battle, but they're good for close-in battles.  I'm gonna pick one up soon to use for CQB, because my aeg might hurt some people in close.

If you decide to really get into it, look at buying an SRC SR4 from JT.  It's a great aeg for only $200 ($270 or so with everything you need and some goodies).  Probably the cheapest competitive aeg around.  Try firing some different guns though to get a feel for what you like.
Title:
Post by: Mooncruiser on August 31, 2005, 12:43:49 PM
Another good bet -The UTG CQB Shotgun is like 40 bucks mail order, and is great for a spring gun. You can see one at the Phoenix JT.

Hi my name is Rich. I have never been to an Airsoft event but I am looking forward to getting involved. If you know of any Airsofter in the Tempe area I can get in touch with let me know. I just purchased my first Airsoft gun. - ICS M4. I've already burned about 2000 round in my back yard dialing it in and am really anxious to get it out and try it at an event. Anyway are games open to all or do I need to be part of a team? Thanks for any help/guidance.

Welcome to the boards, good to see another tempe resident becasue there are way to many airsofters that live way the hell out of town. Watch the boards for games and instructions on how to be on a particular side (usually differentiated by BDU color). If you need help just PM the organizer and they can direct you on how to go. It is a good community here on the boards, enjoy the neighbors and tell the damn kids to stay off your lawn.

Ganef, I've spent way too much time in Bateman...

anywho, I don't live in tempe, but my brother's got an apartment there, and I commute to asu every day.

Theres a game on october first in florence, shouldn't be too bad of a drive from tempe, I'm probabably just gonna camp out on a couch down there cause it'll shorten the trip quite a bit.

Figured I oughta introduce myself. I got into airsoft waaaayyy back in 2000. My Grandma got a cheapo springer pistol and gave it to me. Being only 13 I couldn't get a job for another year(minimum legal work age is 14 in Washington) and the next three years were devoted to school, my (still) non-functioning car, and my pilots license. It was only during this summer that I finally got my AEg and loadout. Then I came down here to be with my mom until I needed to shipout for basic. So now I'm just waiting.
My Loadout is: (if anyone wanted to know)
A cheap Double Eagle M4 with 7 mags + 3 batts
UTG CQB shotgun with 2 mags
Cheapo M93 Beretta springer my Grandma gave me
Marine Style camelback tac-vest Woodland/Black
$50 Commader boots (most expensive airsoft thing I own)
Hatch style gloves
Full Face Mask
About 7,000 rounds
Cheap@$$ helmet from Airsplat DO NOT ever buy their helmet, it is a plastic frame covered in cloth! @%@#^!%@%&#$$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't get the Desert Eagle. It may be the nicest spring gun out there, but that does not redeem the fact that it is still a spring gun. You do not want to have to sling your M15 and be trying to crank off rounds with that thing(springer means one shot per crank, not sure if you know that or not, Lasivian made that mistake), it is just not practical for games. Go with a kjw 1911 or M9, both are respectable guns and are semi-auto. They are a bit more expensive but are worth it and will hold their value a lot better than that springer you are lookin at. Classic Army guns are good to go. Welcome to the boards, hope to see you at some games!

Hello everyone,

My name is Michael Skokauckas and I hail from Mesa, Arizona.  Iv'e been involved in airsoft for about a year now.  Before that I was a hardcore paintballer.  After a while paintball lost the spark becasue I'm not into neon BDU's. LOL  Plus I wanted to be apart of somthing better...more realistic and challanging.  Where being a member of a unit meant more than just showing up on Sunday at the local field.  I was inspired by the Airsoft players respect for eachother and how they look out for eachother.  "Leave no Man Behind"  takes on new meaning with airsoft.  And yes, I'm a military brat.  What can I say...my family is all over the world.  I'm the "LT. Dan" of my family.  My mother is retired Air Force, Father is Retired Army..One brother is active with the 3rd. IN. DIV.  and two uncles...one with the NAVY and the other with the Marines...  I juess we have been everyware.  Alot of people ask "hey man...why are you not following the family line?"  Well, becase of a minor hearing loss, I am unable to join.  I play airsoft because in a way I'm fullfilling my dream of serving this country.  Once a month and whenver there is a game...I can forget the realitiy and grind of everyday life...and live  that dream for a day.  and everytime I leave a game...I smile.  

So now I'm buying some new gear and getting ready for this Fall in the Airsoft world.  I guess that's about it.

P.S. Do we have any 1st. Cavalry Division Troopers out there?  I grew up with the 1st. Cav. my whole life and wanted to see if some of our brothers are in Airsoft Arizona.  "GO 1st. CAV!!!"

Hey guys, My names Mark aka Meanguy, im 31 and a diehard gun supporter. I have played paintball for many years and got into airsoft a few months ago and like everything else i do i went in with both feet. My first gun was a TM P90TR that is upgraded, second i picked up a TM AK47 Spetsnaz and i upgraded it, and most recently i picked up a TM SIG 552 Seals. That gun is still stock because i went broke. :-) I play every sunday with a group of guys from Arizona Paintball Depot. I love the sport and enjoy working on the weapons as well. I do custom laser engraving for a career and yes i can customize airsoft and paintball guns if you feel like making a trip up to the north valley. Well i hope to get to meet some of you killers in the future and do some gamin with you.

I my name is Kurt I am  20 yr. retired Paramedic. Just got into to Airsoft thanks to my son. I also sell and work on the real stuff am also a CCW Instructor and teach an Advanced Self-defense corse. I got into to Airsoft for the trigger time originally. This a great way to teach people force on force classes as yep it stings a bit to get hit with one but your not going to die. It's hard to teach slef-defense when all you do is shoot paper targets as they don't shoot back. You can practice your tactics and see if they really work.Or Airsoft arsenal is starting to grow as we have a Saw, Mp5, M-4 with grenade launcher and I will be ordering a 1911 blow back this morning. The best thing is Airsoft is fun for all exect the stinging part (LOL). Look forward to meeting some of you at a game sometime in the near future and seeing how this is all put together. Till then Be Safe Out There and Thanks. Kurt

Hello again! Kinda doing this ass-backwards. I moved to the Phoenix area from Carson City NV just over a year ago. I have a wife and 3 children, two girls and one boy. I have been into guns and shooting since I could safely handle a .22 pistol. Never was into airsoft as a sport/hobby but used to have bb gun wars regularly with my buddies in the hills of Nevada.
 I have also been riding dirtbikes/motorcycles since I was 6. I also weight train regularly. I cage fought for 3yrs. practicing Mui Tai, Brazillian Jiu Jitsu, and western boxing at Straight Blast Gym out of Oregon.
 Have always had a love for the Military and anything Tanks, helicopters, and big guns, mostly the minigun, m60, or anything belt fed. I am looking forward to meeting a few of you and enjoying Airsoft.

I got to handle a rifle, but I forget what kind. I loved it, even though it was bigger than me. I got into paintball when I was about 14. I got out of paintball just a few months ago. And got my first airsoft gun last month, and i love this sport now. Hope to see you guys at a game soon!

Hello all,

My name is Jon, I am a Senior over at ASU and a couple of my friends and I have just bought AEGs (CA M15). We used to paintball quite a bit a couple of years ago, and these guns really got me wanting to get back out and play. Some of the things you guys seem to have in airsoft like playing by the honor system, not wearing stupid paintball shirts, and the attention to detail with gear really appeal to me as that is how we played paintball (I still have never played at a field, Speedball looks like the most retarded game ever). The cheap ammo is a bonus too... In any case I am looking forward to playing in some organized games. Glad to meet you all.

Hello all, my name is Joseph and I am new to the world of airsoft! I am a friend of TheStenGun and he showed me the board. Looks like a great place, full of info and a way to get some games rolling.

Some info about me, Jon, TheStenGun, and I started paintballing with our group of friends. We play similarly to the rules you guys play, using honor. None of us liked the paintball culture of requiring the paintballs to break, especially when some loser wears gear to provide a soft target to avoid breakage. I enjoy the strategy of game instead of just spraying down paint in a confined arena and hope some ball will bounce into your target.

Personal aspect - well I work at a college records department as I work on pursuing my education in psychology.

I started into this with a purchase of a CA M15A4 Rifle. Hopefully I will get a chance to meet a lot of you and join you guys out in the field soon.

Sup, I'm Pyksee and I live in the Ahwatukee/ Foothills area in Phoenix. My friends and I have a team called the Backyard Airsofter. We don't play in the backyard anymore, but we just haven't thought of a new name yet. We usually play in the desert against a team that was in a game you guys had yesterday (11/19/05). They're called the Militia Manes and they have a really good sniper. Anyway, I got a CA36C and a KWA Mac 11. That's all about me and I hope I can join you in the next match. O yeah, I'm also am a big fan of Halo 2 and if you have Xbox Live and want to join me in a game, just pm me for my gamertag.

Hola, i live in Tucson and i have been playing airsoft with my buddies for about 3 years now. We all go out with springers and such becuase most of the guys cant afford the AEGs and GBB's and such. Now that i am a bit older and wiser though, i have taken the liberty to buy a SRC SR4 and a full metal 1911 para version GBB from jungletoy down on Craycroft. Its funny becuase i have always loved airsoft, but just recently have i discovered the beauty of milsim and tacsim games. I hope to join you guys on your adventures when i turn 18 in August of 2006. or maybe if i can find a way, a little bit sooner.

Nice. The 1911 is a good pistol. Welcome aboard!
Title:
Post by: Bobaganoosh on November 27, 2005, 10:03:50 PM
speaking of the 1911, i am having a problem with it. Sometimes it only takes a bit of gas to go through two mags and sometimes i can put the same amount of gas in and it will only go through 6 or 7 rounds. i am guessing it probably has someting to do with the o ring but i have no idea how to fix that at all, if you have any suggestions it would be much appreciated.

TAC games have an official minimum age of 14, provided your parents sign the waiver. For TAC games held at the Sudden impact field, we run under their waivers, so if you get your parents to sign the waiver there, you can play at our games held at that location.

Hope this helps, and hope to see you out there!

Hi everyone, My names Cam, I've paintballed since I was 12 and well after doin that for 4 years it gets pretty old... plus, like most of you i couldnt really shoot it in the backyard without making a huge mess! So a few weeks ago after doin some research, i went out and purchased my first airsoft gun from soft air depot. Its been a ton of fun and i cant wait till i start playin in some games.

Post by: Vince on December 02, 2005, 09:55:45 PM
Never go there again. Instead, try Jungletoy. They are cooler people.

There is a location 500 yards north of Soft Air Depot, and this guy Paul works there. He is WAY cooler than Tanner.

Post by: MudPuppy on January 03, 2006, 10:19:43 AM
Honestly, if you want the same high quality AEG's and can afford to wait a week or so, contact airsoftextreme.com . They are in Ca and some really good people to deal with. When I lived in santa cruz I was a frequent shopper in the sant clara store. They were always helpful and the guns are resonably priced.
Title:
Post by: azsarge on January 03, 2006, 10:52:42 AM
There's nothing wrong with SoftAir Depot if you want a quality AEG available locally.

They have the full Marui lineup, and often carry CA guns.

It was a medical discharge, I was in a year and was all ready to go to basic and had passed all the tests and training they do in the guard now before you go and I hurt my back.  They don't have any patience for anything back related so I got discharged.  Was a good experience though all the stuff they taught me on drill weekends was really good.  They "said" that what they teach at drill is 75% of what you learn at basic.  But I guess I'll never really find out haha. Really sucks that I got the boot cause of the injury but at least I volunteered to go and fight.

I'll treat you like I treat any other military guy, because the discipline and self-sacrifice required to take that step is in any guy that signs the dotted line, whether or not they made it through.

I have 4 TM AEGS, Ak-47 (In need of repair), Styer Aug (Upgraded), MP5 PDW, and an M4.  I hope to get involved and join in the forum discussions and get some game time under my belt here in AZ.  I look forward to meeting all of you on the field sometime.

Hey guys, my name's Eric and I've been interested in Airsoft for quite some time.  I have a paintball marker and used to play with friends several years ago.  My brothers and I own several springers that we shoot each other with around the house and with friends.  I am currently in the process of deciding what AEG to buy right now, so many choices!  I am going to school in ND, but live in Mesa and will be down all summer.  I hope to play a game or two during that time.  Graduation is this December, so next year I'll be free to play more.

Hello all,

Name is Todd - live in gilbert - collect pellet guns .177/.22(pistols) and airsoft guns (6mm AEGs GBBs). I stumbled on to this site in a deperate attemp to locate airsoft suppliers in the east valley - looks like I found a new home.

I have never "played" softair ..other then drinking beers and shooting the cans. I still just can't imagine shooting some dude (or getting shot) with plastic pellets that rip thru beer cans and stick in my garage door ..but I am willing to give it a try  :twisted:  

My collection of Airsoft consist of a dozen or so GBBs and uzi/mac pistols etc. My only AEG at the moment is a UTG MP5 (if you can call it that) and now finally shoots ok after rebuilding the gbox and and moding the hopup. Not a bad gun for $80.00.

I have a weekness for sniping (FPS computer games - RTCW etc.) and will be adding something to my collection as soon as I can find a gas metal/wood/ABS rifle that shoots well and doesn't cost $500.00 or more.

I ride sportbikes and fly larger RC planes for fun as of now ... nothing like adding airsoft to give the wife a heart attack when the visa bill arrives.     :shock:

Nice forum - see ya around.

erschieben, I know your pretty new to AA(as am I)
but one of the things that gets annoying is when people say "Let's go have a softair battle" instead of an airsoft battle. It's called airsoft, remember that forever.

My mane is Popapalooza A.K.A. Charf (don't ask) A.K.A. Charlie. I'm live in Phoenix, AZ but would much rather live in Sedona. I've been into airsoft for about 2 years; the first year I only used springers because an AEG is a waste of money for backyard battles. My second year I had my first AEG and it was a TM Mp5-A4, I'm buying a G36C in about 3 days and hope to convert it to a MG36. Since I'm barely starting my second year I only have two AEGs but I need some GBBs and tactical gear. I tried paintball, it's okay but airsoft is much better; Charf out ;)

Hi name is Emilio. Used to play paintball a few years ago and actually didn't really know about airsoft till about 3 months ago. I plan on buying a CA36 as first gun. I really like the whole realness of airsoft, using camo, magazines, Mil tactics and especially the realness of the gun themselves. Nice to know that there is actually a good handful of players in the southern area.

Hey everyone, it's nice to finally join AA.  The good AA, that is.  Anyhow, I've actually been airsofting for a few years...  maybe two now?  So I've got some basics under my cap.  I really got into it big when I got my KJW M700 and my camo.  Now I mostly go to games w/ my buddy Ice Man 316 and we let loose on the other guys we get to come w/ us.

I've played some paintball before, but I got sick of the fact that those guns may as well glow in the dark and there never seemed to be any tactics behind paintball other than run and gun.  Now my tactic is to keep peoples' heads down and mow them down with my pistol when they're in close range. [smilie=armata_pdt_25.gif]

Aside from that, I hope to learn a lot as I get smoked by you guys, and hopefully I'll take one or two of you down with me. [smilie=armata_pdt_36.gif]

Hello all! My name is Domingo, but everyone at work calls me Gonzo. The bigloser38 tag, well, that's another story! I was originally introduced into airsoft by Victor3, who've I've known for, well, eight or nine years now. (Hey Ed!) Anyway, the day he showed me his M4's side by side his real steal M4, man, I was hooked! I’ve owned a CA CQB for almost a year now but have yet to come out and play at any “officialâ€￾ games. I work full-time with the AZ National Guard over at Papago Park as a mechanic. The closest thing to a real game is when myself and a few of my buddies take turns aggressing each other’s buildings! Nothing like “playingâ€￾ army when you’re in the army.  :D  The only difference is we don’t call hits, we like getting to shoot the same person over and over again.  :shock:  I also own two full metal P226’s, a cheapy M16 AEG and am looking into getting a M700.

I’m 26, I’m newly married, I just bought a house out in Avondale and I’m really looking forward to coming out and playing with you guys! (When I get a free weekend! This government job takes a lot more of my free time than you’d think!   :P ) Oh, and I’m prior service Army, six years actually. Served in Baumholder, GE; Stewart, GA and out at NTC with the 11th Cav, Huah!

Hey guys; this is Jared from JT Tempe.  I was talking to some people, and I figured it was about time I signed on to the AA forums.  I became involved in airsoft about two years ago, and it now occupies a large percentage of my time... well, it is my JOB after all.  :D  Right now I'm at that "holy crap, I want to buy and upgrade EVERY gun on the face of the planet" stage, so I have to control the use of my wallet as much as possible to save me from certain financial mishap.  

Even though I'm a big-time Marui fan-boy, I'm generally using a CA G36C for my primary... don't ask me how that happened.  Other than that, I'm sporting a TM AUG, AK47 Beta, or a Sig552.  Recently I decided to say goodbye to my gas pistols forever and stick with my TM MP5K as a sidearm.  After upgrades, I will say that gun is... <sniffle> beautiful.  Anyway, I'll likely be on here from time to time.  If you want to contact me... um... call JT Tempe.   :)

Hey guys.  My name is cully.  My, "shooting other people" hobby in general started with a desert eagle springer.  I then moved on to playing paintball.  I did that for a few years, but I got so sick of paying the big bucks for paint, that I have taken up airsoft again.  But in a much more serious way.  I have an NBB Beretta 92f.  And hopefully tommorrow the UPS man will be delivering my brand spanking new full metal ICS ak-74.  I live in eastern scottsdale, near fountain hills, and am 16 years old(in 6 days).  Im on vacation right now, but ill be back at the end of july and can't wait to meet some of you guys, and get out to some non-official games.

Gay. Don't be an officer, nobody likes Lieutenants...they never know what the fuck their doing. Be a regular enlisted grunt, like me, and then work your way up to at least E-6. Then you can die, and do whatever you want at that point.

Welcome to the boards.  And you said your history teacher referred you here? Did he/she say how they knew about AA?  Im just curious, I didnt know that we had grown that much. Well to be said, yes, AA games are much much better than most games.  30+ people up to the 50's in a game, makes for some fun times.

Im new to airsoft and used to paintball.  I'm thinking of selling my paintball stuff to get in to airsoft.  I had a friend who did it and I started researching airsoft on-line to see what it was all about.  It seems way cooler tham paintball.  I love the milsim and realism of the guns and gear. I'm look forward to learning how the games get started and how go about playing in them.

Just another newbie trying to get into airsoft.  Have bought a few cheapies, and only one semi-expensive one.  Now I need to learn some repair, and this looked like the most happening place to ask a few questions.  No military experience, just like to play with guns.

SWPB isn't very sniper friendly and the gametype didn't allow snipers to set up. But if you can alot of damage can be done. All I can suggest is a little fps upgrade(which doesn't cost much for a spring sniper) and some heavier bbs.
Title:
Post by: Falcon on August 06, 2006, 09:00:35 PM
It is really more or less a marksmans weapon.  I don't know that the M324 has internal upgrades and I hope to get .23 gram bbs.

my name's Jeff, and I am rather new to the whole airsoft thing.
I'm an avid paintballer, but the sport is just so dang pricey. I kinda came to airsofting looking for a less expensive alternative to paintball. I'm pretty much a newbie in all aspects of the sport. (a lot different than paintballing) so im here to figure out a bit more about it.

Post by: War savage on August 18, 2006, 09:22:24 PM
Welcome! I don't want to scare you away, but I wouldn't call airsoft a cheap sport. It can be an expensive habit...I mean hobby/sport.
Title:
Post by: djmtott on August 18, 2006, 09:43:30 PM
It's expensive. I just spent a grand in the last week, and it'll probably take another 2 grand to be exactly where I want to be.

But after that you pay for ammunition (dirt cheap), gas for travel (oil is your god), and any costs for the event you're participating in. Of course if your equipment needs repair then you have that cost too.
Title:
Post by: cxsdtek101 on August 18, 2006, 09:57:36 PM
lol. well, its cheaper to play anyways...

I spend an average of 70 bucks to play for one day
(50 for paint, 20 for field fee/air)

plus, all the gear that I bought (you dont wanna know how much I spent there...)

it adds up to quite a bit.
at least I can buy bb's for a crapload less than I can paint. lol.

thx for the welcome!

Like others said airsoft is not "cheaper".  Yeah ammo is cheaper but you spend that money else where.  If your sole purpose is to do airsoft because you believe it is cheaper then you have been misguided. Airsoft is a completely different mindset than paintball. It is milsim, you work to complete objectives and not to shoot at as many people as you can.  A good day would be to complete your objectives without ever firing a single shot.  Keep this in mind when deciding if airsoft is for you or not.

As much as I want to agree, I'm going to have to disagree in some spots.

Airsoft is cheaper. Take this for example, an avid paintballer who's been playing for years. All the cost of paint and CO2 is bound to be over the average price most airsofters spend on all of their equipment and gear.

Two, not everyone takes airsoft as serious as a lot of the players here on AA.

Three, a "GOOD" game consisting of not firing one round would be as boring as hell. I can guarantee you'll get plenty of action as your experience progresses.

1.) Everyone should be serious about airsoft, otherwise, its no different than playing paintball(which, to my experience, have never played, but I speak based on what I've seen).

2.) You've never been to a big op. You don't know shit. I've gone on patrols at big ops(the two I've been to), and went virtually the entire day without firing a shot. You also don't always wanna fight an enemy. Sometimes the best way to survive is to not engage, and get out of the enemy AO as soon as possible.

Call me whatever you want, but that sounds extremely boring.

Personally, I am happy at the level I'm at with airsoft. If it gets "TOO" (emphasis on too) serious, it just gets lame.

Paintball is fun. I'm not gonna lie. It's a faster adrenaline rush.

I had the pleasure of being attached to 1st battalion 8th Marines (infantry unit), untill i was injured in training and put on non deployable status. So while i was going through medical treatment they sent me back to MCAGCC 29 palms (Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center) to be an instructor at the Marine Corps Communicatioin Electronics School (MCCES). I was NCOIC (non-commissioned officer in charge) of the security clearance section for Bravo Co. MCCES. Now im just a bum civillian, if anyone has any questions about the military or the Corps feel free to ask, having been an instructor i can answer pretty much anything you'd like to know. well thats about it.

We haven't needed a part-timer over at the Phoenix location in quite some time, Jeremiah and I handle it just fine. Did you ever submit a resume? You never know when we made need help.

Currently, we are looking for a part-timer at the Tucson store if you know someone that might be interested.

Well...my name is Scott, I live in Scottsdale, and I'm 36 years old.  I've been shooting real steel since about the age of 12, but I just recently got into airsoft, due to the ever-increasing list of places surrounding the valley that are off limits to shooting (plus, you can't "skirmish" with your buddies with real steel :lol: ).  I also like the fact that, with airsoft, I can own a suppressed MP5 or any other manner of "class 3" weapon I choose without all the hassles associated with the real thing.
 
Anyhow, I've been hanging around on Airsoft Forum (G. Scott H.) for about a month, but I was up at Jungletoy on Scottsdale Rd. today and the guy there told me about this place, so here I am. :D

It was awhile ago when I tried to. They just told me to call back and ask for Ron(you) I presume. After a week I gave up.

And yes Gearbox that is also true for off-roading. I can't take my dirt bike anywhere even if it's desert and all my old bird hunting grounds are gone. I don't like having to drive 30 minutes to Canyon Raceway to use the land infont of it.......when I live 5 minutes from the Desert. And yes I have been removed by Police for riding in the desert.

Anyway, Welcome. And their are still hassles with Airsoft guns.....

Hi guys, I'm new to this forum. I'm a long time paintball player also, been playing that since early 90s, but then found and turned to airsoft three years ago. I used to live in Metro Phx area, graduated from ASU late 90s and now live in Jakarta, Indonesia. Airsoft is also quite big here. Check out my airsoft club website at www.code4team.org (http://www.code4team.org). (If you go to the site, that's me on the front page, the guy on the left with helmet.) We get together every other weekend to do skirmishes, APSC or reenactment around the city of Jakarta area. We are more towards reenactment club, but we do also have gamers. Anyway, look forward to discuss things with this forum.  :D

Hello everyone.
My name is Kevin, I live in tucson. Been into airsoft for a very long time, cant remember when i started. I guess it really isnt that long but I am 15 so it seems like about half my life. I airsoft with mostly poeple around my age, kids that go to my school, my church, mostly just friends I know. I have a CA M15A4 carbine. Working on upgrading it right now. I heard about the website from a guy working at the jungletoys store in Tucson. THe people that I play with tend to be immature and dont take it very seriously. Some dont even where and sort of camo wich really bugs me. So I asked him how I would go about playing with some serious poeple. He told me to come to this website and get to know some people. I know a few people that play with teams. I am mostly trying to find out how to play with some poeple that really are serious about it. My group play at a abandond archery range. It is a good place to play with a few buildings. Where do people play around here?
O and I like the tactical military aspect of the sport. I would like to go into the army as a engineer or something like that when I grow up. My dream would be to get into Westpoint, but those are slim chances  :?

Keiv, Welcome to ArisoftArizona!

well, ethan was spot on. this is the place to talk with serious players about everything airsoft. I too live in tucson, so ill know about all the good games, and so will you if u keep an eye on the game listing threads. haha

games i've been here for have been at sudden impact paintball, but thats not the most reliable location. other games have been at SASCO, a few miles west of the Red Rock exit on the 10. Missile tank just east of the 83 on old sonoita south of town, and theres a new AO thats just off of Avra Valley road. theres a game there on the 18 and 19th (camp game)

Just wanted to say hello. I am a 32 year old paintball player that was lucky enough to have a friend show me a little about airsoft. "Thank You Dru." I think there is a stigmatisim between paintball players and airsoft junkies, but they know little about eachother. Don't get me wrong, I love paintball, but it was lacking a few elements that I believe to have found in airsoft. I am looking forward to meeting you guys on the battlefield, so look out!

Hey all!

Ex-Mil MP. I'm also a medic. Never got into paintball. All the matches I've been to were full of people who were afraid to get hit. I prefer tac/sim over lobbing paintballs at each other Old English style.

"Gentlemanly warfare" is old school. I'm here to work for my kills ;)

I operate a G&G GR300 and KJW USP GBB.

Well said, yes i hated paintball, one was because of all the little kids, I'm talking like 10 year olds, running around and crying when they got hit. This has a certain degree of professionalism to it and is way more respectable than pb.

Post by: schmuckduck on December 11, 2006, 09:38:25 AM
Paintball, like Airsoft is fun if your playing with the right people. Either one will suck if playing with cheaters and crybabies. Ive played both and enjoy both. Rarely did I play paintball with those who were afraid to get hit. If they were afraid, they were usually 10 years old. Play with adults and you don't have that problem.

G&G doesn't have an MP5, they only have a UMG. Which IMO, sucks.

EDIT - they are making one though -

Actually, they are coming out with a whole MP5 series.

HI IM BRENT,
 IVE BEEN IN AIRSOFT FOR ABOUT 5 YEARS IN SEVERAL STATES. I CHANGED FROM PAINTBALL BECAUSE PAINTBALL GUNS LOOK LIKE SPACE GUNS AND ITS EXPENSIVE. aLSO WHEN I PLAYED AIRSOFT, I FEEL IN LOVE WITH THE SPORTSMANSHIP OF THIS HONOR GAME. THERE WAS HARDLY ANY ARGUEING. PLUS IT MORE MILSIM. MY FAVORITE POSITION IS SCOUT SNIPER. I MOVED TO AZ ABOUT 5 MONTHS AGO FROM UTAH AND LOOK FORWARD TO GETTING BACK IN THE BUSH.

Im fairly new to the sport, though highly intrested in aquiring a large "quality" air soft collection. I went through all levels of scouting as a youth/teen, I am an avid outdoors man. I was un aware until recently that air soft was actually this big of a thing, I just used to think hey look at those kids playing with those plastic guns. Then came enlightenment my sisters boy friend told me about jungle toy in tempe and its been a intense intrest since, Well good to meet all of you

Hi group,

I am a stay at home dad, who also works from home, although my business has not fully picked up yet. But that is a topic more appropriate someplace else. My wife and I have a wonderful 3 year old daughter, when she is not throwing a tempertantrum (which does not happen frequently). I also have a 16 year old step-son who lives in Oregon. In fact I owe him my interest in getting started in airsoft. He told me about it a few years ago, and I have wanted to try it ever since, but never really had the money to invest in it. Still working on that though, and have my eye on a couple aeg's.

Anyway, was wondering if anyone was around Queen and Dobson and wanted to get together. If so give me a call 480-726-3803.

Ralph

Hey all -- I'm planning on relocating to the Phoenix area sometime this spring...thought I'd drop in and say hi.

Anyway, I'm Josh. I work full-time for a bank (administrative assistant) and part-time for a police department (patrolman).  Started picking up airsoft stuff just over five years ago -- don't have much of a collection, but what I do have does the job just fine.  I have a modest firearm collection as well.

I used to live in Florida...hoping I can handle the heat in AZ -- it's 1f (still above 0!) here now, so hopefully the transition won't kill me... :)

Anyway, just saying hi...looking for a job and a place to stay at the moment.  My goal is to be there by summer, but I'd love to be there by late April...all depends on how things (job/etc) work out.  So if anybody knows of any banks looking for people (CSR, admin assistant...just no teller positions..ugh), feel free to let me know!

Hi i just moved out to AZ from the chicago area. big big fan of airsoft and was hoping with all the great weather out here i'd get more game time that back home where its frozen cold this time of year :)

my day gig is tattoo artist so it leaves me a decient amount of time to go out and rip it up but in chicago the games and players are a very small group still so its frustrating at times.

i've got no military or law background, grew up playing paintball and about 3 years back made the switch to airsoft.

currently i've got a few guns i shoot with based on how i fel that day and such, but my fave toy is my P90. i do love my PSG-1 but its a pain at times to get a spotter so i rarely get to take it out and put it to work. my other 2 guns are a MP5SD6 and Glock 18c.

Hi guys, I'm new to Airsoft but would love to join a team or group.  My name is Romeo, and I'm 30 years old.  I did 8 years in the Marine Corps as a 5811, MP.  I've shot everything from MP5s, M9s, M16s, M24s, .50 cal, and a boat load of other weapons.  I also own a H&K USP compact .40, XD9 9mm, and a Howa .308 sniper rifle.  I've also been a 15 year paintball player.  I'm telling you guys all this to give you an idea of what I've been around, and what I've shot.  On the Airsoft side of things, I just picked up my first two guns.  I got a Classic army MP5, and a WE 1911.  They shoot great, and I never thought an airsoft gun could be so real or on the money with shoots.  I have a few questions for some of the guys on here.  When do you guys go out and play?  How can I join some of the older players for a few games?  Where do you guys have your games?  I would love to join a team or squad, does anyone need players?  Most of all, how does a new player get started in this game?  I have heard its a very tight group of guys that play together.  Do any of you guy have room for a very motivated former Marine with years of military experience.  Please let me know guys.  Thanks, and I hope I join you guys on the field.

Depends on who you want to play with. But you would probably like the Airsoft Arizona games and people. AA games are all 18+ people, some to most are former military like yourself, they play in Prescott, Sassco, Four Peaks, and anywhere else that has a good enviroment. The games section has pictures and locations of where they play at. All you have to do is wait for a game and join up. The Gear section shows alot of how the more experianced people set-up their gear for best preformace, very helpful. Most AA guys are very helpful. Vince, Mad Sarge and Airsofter1 are all very helpful.

While Marauders Airsoft is the "younger" group. It has a few older people in it(like myself) and is alot closer to town since it's on a paintball field(for a lil while longer). MA is geared more towards growing the game and showing people what airsoft is and gives younger players a chance to play since AA forbids it(unless 17 with a sponsor). MA is usually short game based(force on force) with a few "milsim" games. MA usually has a few Open games and a Senerio Game each month. But because it's a paintball field they require a $20 field use while AA does not. Just alot of gas money.

Thanks for getting back to me on this.  I would probably fit in a bit better with the older guys.  I just got out of paintball completely since I really did not like the quick, no planning games.  I'm more into the mil sim, so I'm guessing the older guys do that more.  How do I post to the guys you talked about (Vince, Mad Sarge, and Airsoft1)? There are so many different sections, and I've never really been on a form or chat board.  I' guess I'm old that way.  Thanks, your info has been helpful.

Just PM Any Of Those Guys and They'll help you out.

As far as gear use what you know works.  You've got enough "time in" to know what works for you and what doesn't.

As previously stated, all Official AA Games are 18 + and there is usually 1 Official AA Game a month.  Just keep checking the boards, and there are usually several airsoft games a month as well.  The guys here are pretty tight, but always welcome cool people who share the same interests.

Come on out, attend a few games and see if you like it.  Then you can take the next step and see what type of guns, gear and time you want to put in.

And as for contact you could just form a topic in the appropriate area. Those 3 are usually the fastest to respond or just PM them.

And it's Airsofter1 not Airsoft1. I think airsoft1 is a kid so I don't think he'd be very helpful. I'd be out there playing with the AA guys but I'm still getting my stuff set-up. German Flecktarn is a pain to get.

Hey guys, I played my first airsoft game at Marauders last sunday, and was the lucky (and extremely grateful) recipient of the G&G rk104 that was raffled off.

My name is Carl, and I love tinkering with things.  I don't have experience in paintball or the military, I just got interested by a friend who played paintball for years.

I am a Soldier, currently stationed in Korea.  Joined AA because I am from AZ and I love airsoft.  I have been into airsoft for a long time but I haven't played much.  I plan to make it to a game everytime I take leave to go home (probably about once a year).  I have 2 stock AEG's - Marui M733 and G36c; one GBB beretta 93.  I used to play TONS of springer games with large or small groups, but I haven't done much in the way of all out airsoft.  I went to Operation Coldburn with AA a few years ago.  If I ever get out of the Army (undecided at the moment) I will definitely attend games often.  Well, I guess thats about all I have to say.

I am recently divorced; I have two great boys (6 & 3); and I separated from the US Navy, after 8 years, about 6 months ago (E-5).

Hey guys (and girls)
I'm Michael, 21, live in Tempe, go to ASU, and I used to play Airsoft about 3 years ago. Back then I had one of the earlier CA M4s, which since has been sold.
My girlfriend and I both want to get into airsoft now and AA seems to be the best place to start.
I paid the $$ to become an AA member, registered for this forum, and I'm currently shopping now for a couple of AEGs.
Also, how does AA organize their airsoft battles? Are there teams that people join, or do we just show up with our guns and play away?
Thank you all for your help/replies!
-Michael

Post by: -MAD- SARGE on April 13, 2007, 01:45:46 PM
The official AA games are held about once a month and have threads that are started in advance to get people organized.  Teams are made for that game and usually are set up Tan colors vs Green colors.  You can sign up for the side that you have the colors for, with your friends or the side that you think will be the most fun to play.  Then you state what side you will play for during the game.  Just make sure that if you sign up that you show up or give a reasonable notice that you will not be able to attended and what team color you were on. This helps the game organizer to keep the teams balanced.  

Then any and all other airsoft games are unofficial. They can be hosted by anyone.  These games can range from any number of people attending and any kind of game type. Most choose to use the AA rules and code of conduct for their games.

Hey, I'm Wolf in Airsoft Ohio, former Team leader for 6mm Milita there, I moved out here a number of years ago, and have found I need some Milsimer's to hang with, I don't really have a lot of time, however being that I want to get into Irene next year I need train-up and some field time...
I spent 4 years in the Army Infantry, 2 years in 1st ID, and 1.5 years in the 82nd.  I love milsim and anything that would be close to that...  
I have a Marui M-4, and a TM Bennelli shorty, but I'm thinking on getting rid of them for the new CA M15CQB...
I live in the Tempe AO, and would love to be introduced to anyone in the close area who has a place to practice.

Nothing close if you are meaning a 15-30min drive.  AA games are out side city limits or on Private Property, which is almost out of town anyways.  Most AOs for example are like 4 peaks, Prescott, Near Bloody Basin.

Hey everybody!  My name's Alex and I'm 16, going on 17.  I'm completely obsessed with airsoft and it all started around 4 years ago when I recieved a KWC P226 for Christmas.

Soon after my P226, I purchased a DPMS A15.  I didn't actually airsoft with it until a year later.  My first games were in Michigan during the summer where we'd walk within 20 yards of each other and not notice a thing.

Now, about me in particular, I love airsoft more as a hobby than a sport and frequently take apart my replicas when I'm bored.  There's nothing more I love than having an excuse to take apart a gearbox.  The gearbox just simply awes me.

I try to use tactics as best I can, but it usually doesn't exceed much beyond yelling supressive fire as the team I am part of isn't too familiar with working as a 'team'.  We tend to play more as individuals which is why we lose some games.

The replica I'm proud of is my CA M15A4 Carbine.  All I have mounted on it are a sling from a DPMS M16 and a rather large red dot scope.  Internally I have;
Bearing Spring guide
Stock Spring
Stock tappet plate
Stock Gears
Stock Bushings
Stock V2 shell
Deepfire Nylon Piston
Deepfire o-ring air nozzle
Systema Silent Piston Head and Cylinder Head
Stock Wiring
Stock Barrel 6.08mm
Stock Yellow style Metal Hop Up
Stock CA Motor
8.4v 1200mAh Intellect Battery

I prefer to use MARPAT, a cross draw vest, two hi-caps, .25gram bbs, camel pak (which is more like a backpack as I took out the hydration system), and Magnum boots.  I also carry around a M7 bayonet for the heck of it.  I'd really love to get my hands on some CADPAT AR and modify a CA M15A4 Rifle to a C7A2, but that's a little out of my current budget and I'm going to be honest, it'd be a waste at the moment.

My team (Desert Foothills Airsoft) hasn't really been playing a lot of games recently, so I'm really dying to play a game, but I guess I'll just have to wait.  When I originally had joined them I was under the impression they'd be a lot more tactical than I was and play more frequently, but it wasn't really the case.  

I guess I'm a little on the mil-sim side aside from my preferance of hi-caps (which is really because I don't trust other magazines) although my current load out is a far cry from milsim.  When I'm around 18 I might find some other people to airsoft with.  It's too bad nobody has a Canadian orientated team that I know of...

Anyway, great to be on here.

Standards>all. All I can say if you going foreign do it as best you can but don't break the bank for new gear. CADPAT, Flecktarn, Danish and Swiss Woodland are all good.

And yes it is kinda difficult to find a group. Im in the far NW valley with desert everywhere but no people that play. Or people that I trust not to cheat so I haven't played in months.

Hey everyone, My name is Jake and I am a senior here at Embry Riddle in Prescott. As a kid I enjoyed paintball but hated the guns, so about a year ago myself and some friends started playing some backyard airsoft games while I was at home (Seattle). I didn't really get that into airsoft until my girlfriend started a business selling mpegs and AEGs on ebay. Because of this I was able to get a respectable kit put together for less than an arm and a leg.

I have been lurking here for a few months, just taking it all in. I feel it is time to finally join and hopefully contribute something.

my name is Tyler and i have been into the airsoft scene since 2003 with a big group of friends that played out in the desert. i now would like to get involved in the larger community and play huge games with a bunch of people. I am an athletic person and would like to play some energetic games. I have a few friends interested as well but they are just to lazy to post on the forums. I have known about AA for a few years now but never got around to getting into the AA scene. So hi my name is tyler and i wanna be an Airsoft player! :D

Howdy all. My name is Joshua Walden. I was just recently discharged from the USMC as a recruit. I was medically discharged to valley fever of all things, and theres no hope of me going back. I just recently got offered a position at SkyWest as a maintenence clerk, so Ill be there for a long time. I want to be a part of airsoft as I have the training *(I almost made it to graduation)  and the skills of taking sniper shots, field craft, etc. I have my own ghillie, all I need is a rifle. In the real world shooting area, I have a 7MM Rem Mag with a Leupold Vari X III, a massive scope she is. I hope to become a part of this team and hopefully go somewhere along with it.

Thanks
Joshua Walden

Im currently interested in AMSOG and a position as a sniper there.

Hey guys I just wanted to start a thread. I was trolling Google for things about Airsoft. I am getting a medical discharge from the military and will be back home in the sunny state of Arizona hopefully sooner than later.

I am coming back to AZ in Sept for some Leave so I might hit up some of the games you guys have going on.

Thanks Yea.. It's was not fun being out there.  I can't wait to be back in Arizona again .  How often do you all play Airsoft ? I find it addicting and I can't get enough. I was playing it with some friends when i was back on some leave in Az about 2 weeks ago.. Well that was a stupid idea because we were in a park after hours and Scottdale's finest decided to break it up and detain us lol.. Long story short lesson learned after a 118 dollar fine.  

My friend who lives in Arizona plays with APD every Saturday I dont know where at though.

Do you guys have ref's for the games?

Hi All! A "newbie" here...New to airsoft...Heard of it, never tried it until a couple a weeks ago when I got a cheapie from the gun show to plink around with. Then I started watching videos on youtube of battles and ops, now my interest has grown...Sounds like alot of fun and a good stress reliever! How often do you meet? Are there alot of places you have to operate in? How many players on average do you have show up to meets? Thanks for any info and hope to meet you soon! Also....Where in the valley can you buy Airsoft? I drove past where there was supposed to be Softair Depot and couldn't find it..??? Thanks again for any help! Steve

Hola gentlemen. Name's Sam, I walked into a Jungle Toy  in Phoenix yesterday to see what it was all about, and was pretty surprised. I ended up talking to the clerk for about a half hour about airsoft sports, I had no idea it had such a following. I was familiar with airsoft, but really always kinda thought it was a kids thing, until I saw some of the artillery this place was packing.

Just moved to Phoenix a few months ago, been looking for a hobby in my spare time, this looks like something I could definitely get into. Used to paintball in amateur leagues in highschool and some of college, but I got sick of giant inflatable obstacles, i'm much more fond of tactical assault and defense in forests, urban settings, etc.

So, anyone got any ideas for how I can best get started in here without feeling like too much of a n00b?

Read the noob guide: http://www.airsoftarizona.com/newbie_stuff/newbie_faq.htm

Find a mentor, gear up, and participate. After a few games you'll get an idea of what gear you like and don't like, so when you build up your first loadout you might want to stick to cheap and easy.

Hey guys, I'm Mike. I was into paintball a long time ago but I pretty much ended up stopping becuase its so damn expensive. I started airsoft a few years ago because a lot of my old freinds from paintball played, and its a lot cheaper and easier to go do. My buddies and I have skirmishes pretty regularly and I've been to a few marauders games.

PLayed paintball once. Like first person shooter video games does that count as experience.

Title: Andruszka reporting
Post by: druszka717 on September 23, 2007, 01:33:23 AM
My name is Nicholas Andruszka.  Im currently a student at NAU as a ROTC cadet.  I hope that in 3 years I will earn my commission into the US Army and become an Infantry officer.  At first I was a paintball player, but when I discovered airsoft and the intense realism that came with it, I was hooked.  Airsoft's realism of both weapons and tactics will hopefully aid me in improving my leadership skills.  I started out with a JG AK-47, and became the unofficial Al-Qaida of the team.  I soon transfered over to the M16A2, which I currently own.  Tactically, I like close encounters; hard, fast, and withdraw before the enemy can concentrate their forces and counter attack.  Im a fan of any book, film, field manual, or novel that deals with warfare, and leadership.  I hope to get into Airborne school this summer, and maybe Air Assualt later on.  I tend to just shut up and listen to what Im being told, but Im not afraid to be "high speed" when I know what Im doing.  

Anyways, Im glad I found this site and hope to be a part of many more airsoft campaigns to come.  Feel free to contact me whenever to talk about whatever.

I will always place the mission first
I will never accept defeat
I will never quit
I will never leave a fallen comrade

HOOAH

Post by: SARC on November 11, 2007, 11:26:04 AM
Hello all,

I would like to introduce myself,  my name is Ross and I live in Mesa.  I am a former Navy Corpsman (green side) and a former paintball player. I got out of paintball with the advent of speedball and the concept of accuracy by volume.  Getting whacked 40 times by a 10 year old with a rich mommy and a 1800 dollar marker is pretty stupid.  Sorry, just my opinion.  I am looking for the ability to get my "fix" shall we say for the things I miss from the military, ie. the tactical aspect and camaraderie with other adults with similar interests.  Hope to get to play soon.  

I am currently working on putting my kit together.  Thus far I only have an AEG, it is an Echo 1 G36C, and I know that it is not the highest end AEG but it functions well and I am happy with it.  Look forward to meeting you all either through the forum or in my sight picture, uh, err, I mean face to face..

Ross

Good day from sunny San Diego.  My name is Lawrence and have been playing airsoft going on 3 years.  I am currently attached to a SoCal team by the name of Omega Force.  My team and I have played with a few of you at OPLC V and VI and look forward to VII.

Anyway, I am currently in the Marine Corps stationed at MCRD San Diego (no, I am not a Drill Instructor :D ).  Been in this gun club going on 10 years (Dec 2007).  Got my start in airsoft in Okinawa, JP (should have bought stuff while I was there when the dollar was freaking strong as hell).  I had the pleasure of living in the great state of Arizona from 1998 to 2002 when I was stationed in Yuma, AZ (heat is heat humid or dry).  Might be heading back out to Yuma some time next year, if I do not get my orders changed to go to 29 Palms...till then, look forward to seeing some of you again at the next big op.

There are no small games held inside the phoenix metro area. Most games take place outside of town. I believe we have some on the west side every once in a while but noting as far as wickenburg. Watch the event schedule and attend one that you can make it out to.

I told Vince I would sign up and lurk around his forum nearly a year ago, then at LC6 I told him I would do it again.  Now I believe I have procrastinated enough, now that I am layed up with a broken leg and haven't played airsoft for a couple of months

All I really want is one of those Arizona Airsoft patches.....

I have been playing airsoft for seven years. started in college up in Utah, then moved to SD and linked up with the Roughnecks.  This is where I met Vince and a couple of the other guys from arizona airsoft. cool stand up guys except Vince of course.

I've had a crap load of gear, and sold most of it for a few select loadouts.

I have also bought and sold many airsoft guns, and currently own 7... I Think

My current pride and joy is my Systema PTW, the thing is a tank of airsoft guns.  It has it's issues but is a damn fine gun. I have run it for almost two years straight and it is still going stong.

Hello everyone. So I been leaving in AZ for about 4 years. I moved to AZ from CA. and have been looking for a hobby for a while now. I am 18 years of age, and my cousin moved out here to, so we are both looking for something fun to do.

I started searching for places in AZ for Airsoft and found this. I liked the idea of Airsoft over Paintball because it seems alot more realistic, and safer hurts alot less too. Still hurts, but not to the point where I can't enjoy it.

I don't have a gun yet, but I will soon. I just need the money haha. I'm also wondering i can go to a game without playing, just watching for now. But anyway, I look forward to playing, and can't wait. Might form a team with family and friends one day.

You're more than welcome to come to a game before you buy anything to see what it's all about.

In fact, I recommend it.

Merry Christmas folks.

My name is, Ryan.  I had the opportunity to play some paint ball for the first time in a long time a few days ago.  The store proprietor told me about air soft and how it involves more of a sim aspect compared to how a lot of paint ball is played these days.

I had never really heard of air soft prior to my visit and so I started reading and I must say I'm intrigued.  I live in Tempe and I plan on trying to make some of the games in the area to see what it's all about and chew the fat with you fine people to try to avoid some basic mistakes that I'm sure are popular in nature.  Your noob FAQ and guides are excellent though.

Long story short, Hello! and see you on the field.

The D-Boys M4 CQBR just got a great review in Tac. Airsoft/Milsim magazine.  It is all metal construction, with V2 gearbox.  A very sound first gun.  Also the CA sportline M4's are solid and both are in the same price range. JMHO  Also I would recommend a trip to Gearbox Airsoft,  Ron, Matt, and Paul are all very knowledgeable and will steer you in the right direction.  Its at Southern and McClintok in Tempe behind the Taco Bell, it's worth the trip.

Good luck.

My team is also modeled after WW2, so we are always looking for ways to add-on to our collection and look.   I just recently purchased the VFC BAR which should be arriving this week - can't wait.  

Also, if anyone has any information on conversion kits for TM M14s into  M1 Garands (aeg), I'd love to hear from ya.   I have found a few folks who do such projects, but charge upwards of $500+ for the job.

Post by: XavierMace on December 31, 2007, 09:22:12 AM
Here's a guy who did the conversion with a TSD spring M14.  Obviously you will have to do things differently with an AEG, but you should be able to get some ideas at least.

Hey I'm Alp88. I moved from California where I got started in airsoft by my friend. Went to AEX in Sacramento and have loved it ever since. So now I'm here and I have found a friends in N. Scottsdale who share "the love for the game." We play a few skirmish battles in the desert but mostly little fights. I went down to Soft Air Depot when i first moved here and found out that it was closing within a few weeks (but I thought he was moving up to the North Scottsdale area?) I stumbled upon this gem of a site from airsoft forum, and looked in the southwest sect.
I hope to learn lots and get better from being here. My plan is to start a little force from the North Scottsdale area, and maybe start having actual battles, sort of move away from the "backyard war" type of airsoft. I really want to go to one of your big ops/ field wars, (i don't know if you need a rank/ invitation or if its open party) and possibly get my buddies to play in a few as well, if that is all right. :D
Here is just my airsoft supply/goal
I have a TM AK Spetz, AEX upgraded it. I would like to get a JG BAR 10 (mod it up and all that jazz) and become a sniper/ recon person.
Can't wait to get back into it. - Alp88
Just for me, because i don't know some the lingo said around here, is there a person I can PM for help? Not harcore noob questions, just what some of the code means?

Greetings all! My name is Jeff, I’m a Mil-Sim gamer, who about ten months ago got tired of sitting on his six.  I looked at paintball, but immediately didn’t like it because of how the guns looked/felt and how it was played. Luckily for me I saw an episode of Tactical to Practical that had a piece about airsoft. I did some research and after quite some time found out about Jungle Toy, and decided to visit the Tempe JT (would eventually become Gearbox Airsoft) and met Paul for the first time, who pointed me to what would be my first AEG a CYMA MP5-J. The rest, as they say, is history. Today, thanks to Matt, Paul, Ron, and Vince. I have most of my gear, a rebuilt (by Paul) KJW M-1911 Para, afore mentioned CYMA MP5-J, and a soon to be upgraded CA SCAR-Light.  I’m looking forward to joining you guys on the field within a few months, and once again thanks to all that have helped me this far.

Name's Kevin, I've been paintballing for the past couple years and figured it costs way too much to play without a sponsorship or lots of friends and ground to play on, so just recently stumbled upon airsofting.  I was interested before paintballing but i got pulled one direction so now I trying something new.  I never really had any military experience minus 2 years in rotc, and am currently just a student working on a degree in the medical field.  Hope to make some new friends and get started on this forum!

There is too many games to choose from. I currently enlisted in the US Marine Corps so i cant wait to do some combat sim. Hope to see you guys out there.

Hello, i am new. I am a college student at MCC, I met a friend in class talking about it and i was interested in airsoft. I only played paintball twice in my life. I played airsoft with the person i met in class and a few of his buddies. I invited my friend too and we are really interested in airsoft now.

I just bought digital camouflage ACU i believe, tactical chest rig, and a camel back all the same or similar camo type from the army surplus today. I just got my first and stock gun, it is a D-Boys SPR MK12 full metal rifle.

Um, i spent days researching and reading about airsoft safety and tips from MiA for 3 days so i have an idea of what to do and get.

I am thinking of joining in Red Dagger as my first ops but i am not 100% sure, right now it is a 60% chance i might go.

Hm, i think that is it and nice meeting all of you.

Well, the first time we played was playing 3 v 3 on a mountain area... lots of climbing and hiding. Then the next meet up we trained at a friends place on comm with my battle buddy and combat situations with trash bins... it isn't much, and i know it isn't much but i will cram some time to train a bit with my friends... i think next meet up is to train with full on gear... but first things first i need to complete my gear... i still need 8, 100 cap mags...

Hey everybody, I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Foley and I’ve been airsofting for about a year and a half now. I frequently get together with my small group of friends and go airsofting on the weekends. Today I was able to attend Airsofter1’s game and I must say it was awesome. I had a great time and I was glad I was able to meet some of you. I hope I have the privilege of going to future AA events with you guys.

Hey there. Name is Todd. I joined a while ago but have not had the time to post in here yet. Um, just had a bday, sucks. I am married and 4 kids.
I have been doing air soft for a few years now. Started out with the Wal-Mart special and thought there has to be something better. Man, I’m glad there is.
I have not been out to any games that AA puts on. I just play with my friends so far. Yep, so far. As soon as I can upgrade my vest and get some camo, I think Ill come out to a few.
I currently run with an E1 M4A1 with some upgraded guts. Gearbox has helped me get the bugs out, which I am extremely thankful for. Great bunch of guys there. Also have a KJW P226.
I love to read, play on the 360, spend time with my kids and family, and I build Star Wars costumes. I have a life size replica Boba Fett that I painted up and made. I love that thing. Want to know anything else, just ask me.
Later

Todd

Hi everyone out there im Ryan im 37yrs young and just retired after 20 yrs of service for our wonderful country in the U.S Army. 4 of those yrs were as an Infantry soldier and 16 of those yrs were as a Green Beret in the Special Forces. I have served 3 tours overseas in Iraq, 2 overseas tours in Korea, 1 overseas tour in Japan. Im in the best shape of my life and have played my share of paintball before but not airsoft.
  I would love to meet up and do some games with all of you. Im sure I would have a blast with it.  I have all of the military clothing and tactical gear already but need to buy the airsoft weapons. I guess some advice would be great cause im used to dealing with the real thing and not airsoft so im really not sure what I should get.
  Thanks in advance guys look foward to gaming soon hooah

I have to be honest with guys. I joined AA because I want to be out of my old hobby. Sorry. I know you can say whatever you want to say. but I have no time to enjoy my collection for my study and job. So, I have to sell most of my collections, about 4 AEGs and 2 Gas guns. I have spend about $2000 for my collections but I am going to sell it once and for all. I am not a retailer or merchant or any professional sales man. I recently graduate a law school in DC. I understand what I am typing now and I assume the consequence, meaning that I am serious about what I am talking about.
anyway, I have TM SG1, TM SIG 552, TM T-90, CA36C, and Western Arms Bereta M9A1. The mag of M9A1 is broken though, you can buy it somewhere. some of them are upgraded abut some are not. Especially, CA36c... I haven't even put a battery on that.

So, my offer is I want to sell All of my 5 rifles and 1 gun in bundle, meaning I am going to sell to one person with low pice. Email me.  

jrcombo@freechal.com

the options of my offer are  
1)it depends on how much you can pay. I don't care how much I can get. I have my own bottom line. The bottom line I think is $300.00, but negotiable. The Higher bidder will have all my collections.
2) You have to buy all of my collections, no exception.
3)when you email me, let me know the location where you live. I personally deliver all my collection. That means I cannot go to other places except Tempe, Mesa, and Phoenix.

My offer is open until 03-09-2008 12:00 AM.

BTW, I still have my A&K S-Systme. I will not sell s-systme because I will join CQB or some games after bar exam :)

Hey guys, I recently started looking into airsoft again after I found out that one of my buddies is into it.

Its been about 20 years since I've last played/bought airsoft. Back in those days I had an MP-5a2 (but i used the retractable stock from the a3) that was spring operated. If I remember correctly I had a B-Square sight on it, and a heavier spring.  I also had a spring operated M-16 w/M203, and a freon(i think) kokusai m-16. I also had a few pistols and a shotgun. My last airsoft I bought was a calico constant air gun...

So much has changed in the 20 years since I've been away. I see TM is still around, which is good. I remember when there was a big problem bringing in airsoft guns because of logo infringments.  I'm probably going to end up with some kind of M4, I'm just not sure if its going to be the TM or the CA.

Well thats it from me, CHEERS~!!

Welcome to the forums here in Arizona
Title: UDTFrog of Mesa
Post by: UDTFrog on March 13, 2008, 12:44:58 AM
Hello!

 I am UDTFrog out of Mesa, Arizona! I discovered your forums
when talking with a friend and he referred me here. Im glad to see
there is a place for everyone to hook-up and set up some skirmishes
and the like here in AZ!

 Needless to say, Ive been in airsoft for almost a decade. I
keep my collection manageable and strictly to c02 gas classic
SMG and rifles. Im sure the market is dominated by AEGs and
I hope classics aren't frowned upon locally...

 I currently run a modified JAC preban green Steyr AUGa1 with
Asahi internals snugged inside and a external c02 rig. Also, have
a few more but ..this is my primary and has been so faithful.
Capable of 330-385fps @ 55-80psi.

 What are the policies on classics here statewide anyway?
Ive never had an organized skirmish.. always had an abundance
of friends who love to shoot some plastic!

 Also, how many posts are required to start new topics?!
 
 Thanks in advance for any warm welcomes,
and look forward to meeting you all!

Title:
Post by: Venom21 on March 15, 2008, 11:25:41 AM
Welcome and, its because this sport was ment to be 18 and older because it deals with guns, and the U.S. doesn't trust minors with guns because they think that they are the ones who mostly do jackass staunts with them, or paint the tip black and run around the streets playing cops and robbers. haha

But there are underage people that are smart and wont do thows things but maturity kicks in at different times for people.
Title: Hi from Mission Lane
Post by: mission lane on March 15, 2008, 12:42:34 PM
Hi. I joined airsoftarizona.com after a paintball store recommended I go online for my request.

If this isn't the proper way to contact airsoft teams, I apologize in advance and maybe someone could give me a better way to contact team members.

We're looking for 4 adults at least 21 years of age - preferably 25 or older for a video shoot in Scottsdale, Arizona. We are shooting a quick 90 second scene of a rescue operation in a warehouse and we're looking for a team that has the look and the technical expertise on rescue and securing a room. Our goal is to get the most accurate scene possible. All dialogue will be done ADR so there's no lines or acting in this shot. We're very low budget so this would be volunteering an hour of your time but we'd be glad to give a small donation to your team if you're interested. We're at info@missionlane.net. Again, if this request is out of line on the forum, no disrespect is intended. Thanks.

ok, well i first learned of airsoft when i was 12, my friend had some LPEGs and we got some people together to play and i always enjoyed it.
love the outdoors, been obsessed with the the military for as long as i can remember....paintballs too much $ and not that realistic(those damn blow up bunkers are pointless) no offence paintball players i just never found it as fun as airsoft

when i was 14 i got my first AEG from a friend(not sure what brand it was/no markings)i wasn't able to go to any games because i didnt even know where to go to find em.....

anyway i just had an idea one day and typed in Airsoftarizona and whata ya know here it is

so far I have not been to any games listed on the site but ive made a goal to get to one as soon as i can......

my airsoft collection isnt very big, but it works for me and i like workin on one at time instead of trying to buy as many stock guns as i can.......

Hello, I'm new to airsoft and haven't been to a game yet.  I've had guns for a while and a member named chris recommended I join this website.  The most experience I have is shooting at the local rabbits and quail (soon upgrading to prairie dogs) and occasionally at chris when he isn't paying attention.  Hope to learn a bit before I get annihilated at the first game and not make someone actually want to kill me.  My username is also my nickname, so if you see me at a game somehow you can call me over to tell me I screwed up or something.

Hello. My name is Jerrod. I live in Michigan at this time but am getting ready to move to your state within the next couple of months. I am a former marine and wanted to get into airsoft for the milsim aspect of it. I have an Armalite M4 which I just purchased for a primary weapon, a Wells M4 for a loaner, woodland camo, and L.B.V.  I haven't been able to play a game yet and now I am going to be moving! So, I hope you all don't mind Michiganders playing beside you!

Greetings all,

The name is Jerry. The tag OldGameFreaK is from my love of video games and being in my late 30’s. (Very late 30’s). My son got me interested in Airsoft. Him and his friends like shooting at each other and have even built there own bunkers in one of there yards. I went into GearBox one day to ask some questions and bought him an Echo1 M4. I was looking for a backup for him a few weeks ago and ended up buying a used CA MP5 for myself.

I was an MP in the Guard and Reserve for 9 years. Qualified expert on everything I got my hands on (M-16, M-203, M-9, 1911 and the M-60). I was on a combat machinegun team (competition team) for about 4 years. I would like to finish getting my gear and get into some CQB / Mount type games. I am also looking into getting a G3 for longer range games.

I got on the sight due to a recommendation by the guys at GearBox.

That's a slick gun, didn't that belong to Paul Whitney at one point?

Any other classics?

 Ya know! Ive tried to find out who built the AUG since I
got it last year, Im impressed! But, yes.. I purchased it from
Paul Febuary of last year.  Performs marvelous, I was going
to have a tightbore LRB installed.. later down the road.

 Other classics: JAC Mp5a5, Maruzen Steyr AUG (black)
the JAC/Asahi AUG (above) and a MGC hi-cap 1911.  

 All are operational  8)

Hi everyone ! I've been in the Army for the past 6 years and currently stationed in Germany. I've been playing airsoft off and on since 1998. It's amazing how much it has evolved. I have family in Tempe, Mesa, and Phoenix. I own a couple of guns, but they are hard to come by, since airsoft is incredibly overpriced here in Germany, not to mention that Germany has some really weird laws regarding airsoft.

BTW, I'll be in the Tempe/Phoenix area in mid April. Are there any good local shops I should know about ? Thanks

 Welcome Olaf,

 Glad to have another military guy around the forums, and yes!
The sport has evolved so much.. It's slowly growing to be a household
name like ..paintball!

 Nothing new retailer wise, they closed the Command Post
in Tempe (Alma & Baseline) a year or 2 ago, they closed the
ADP store in Scottsdale recently, and that is about it.  

 I get all my gear from private sellers anyway  :P

 Welcome and hope the return to AZ is a safe one!

Hey what's up, guys.  I'm Oliver, and i've been playing competitive paintball for about 5 years.  I love it, but i also have wanted to try the more mil-sim experience as opposed to airbunkers and whatnot.

I've always been interested in military stuff probably due to the massive amounts of military video games out there, and i've always liked the idea of mil-sim sort of stuff.  Just recently i was at APD and was chattin up with the airsoft dude there and he got me more interested in playing mil-sim airsoft events.  I've seen videos and stuff of the mil-sim events and they looked so sick.  So i'm thinking about taking up airsoft as well.

Is there a field or something where i could try it out before stumbling headlong into the sport?

Post by: Benny1232 on March 31, 2008, 07:32:11 PM
Hello my name is Benjamin or just simply "Ben" hehe

Let me tell you how i got started with airsoft. It was last summer 07 my family just moved here to Goodyear Arizona so i was pretty new. I got a friend in school and i decided to go over to his house. Well i came into his room and saw these nice airsoft rifles. A ak47, P90, G36C, and some broken pistols. I took the g36 in my hand and knew it would be my new favorite gun haha. Well ever since ive been battleing him in his backyard, fun times fun times. Then a couple of weeks back we decided we should open our own Airsoft Force here in Arizona, and came both up with the name "Goodyear Airsoft Force" or just simply "GAF". We both gave ourselfs the rank of Colonels and been trying to get some recruits ever since. Im still saving up for my own rifle (G36), and until then i sometimes use his. Like i said our force is new, we have about 2 people besides my friend and me. Well thats pretty much my airsoft story hehe.

Any questions? Let me know and ill awnser them as good as i can ;)

UDT, do you not know of Gearbox Airsoft in Tempe on the SE corner of Southern and McClintock?  Its in the old Jungle Toy location (still has the JT sign out front).  They have all the cool high end stuff!

So Olaf, when you get back to the states check them out.  Gearbox Airsoft is Airsofter1 recommended! [smilie=armata_pdt_34.gif]


Does anyone know when this store is open ? I've tried calling a couple of time, but all I get is an answering machine

Hello all. My name's Morgan.

SARC introduced me to Airsoft just a short while ago. Firing an AEG on full auto brought a smile to my lips. I've been a long time foil fencer and had to give it up because of "stabbers elbow." (It was give it up or have surgery. I opted for the non-invasive procedure.) Airsoft seems just the ticket to replace fencing.

I ended up at the free-for-all on March 29 and I had a lot of fun and met some great guys. I had the pleasure of getting blown up by Airsoft1. (I was the one shuffling through the desert with my walker.) :lol:

Thanks to SARC and Nil8r for a great time. Also, thanks for your help with choosing a AEG of my own. Salute to the corporal and his private.

I hope to meet more of you in the future.

 aww dam! bummer man, I was looking forward to meeting
another classic guy and whatnot.  

 Me and my buddy both had some shotgunning issues around
the middle-end of the match. It was warm and the oil was sweating
out of the guns. Mp5 and AUG both!

Ive been around airsoft guns for about 5 years, I have a small team of about 4 in Casa Grande az, I am more of a casual player due to my lack of financial support, thus I cant afford full metal guns, but I currently do have two decent guns, full plasitc clear but metal gear boxes, I'm the Close quarters/ Stealth operative for my team, the other 3 include 2 assaultmen,a heavy weapons op [SAW] and sometimes a younger 14 yrold with a mp5. I currently use an Mp7 AEG [300fps] as my main weapon and a co2 powered mac11 as my side arm[350fps]

Hi everyone. I'm just getting started with Airsoft. A buddy talked me into trying it and I'm pretty excited. I just purchased an Echo1 M4 RIS and I'm loving it. I should be kitted out and ready to play in a few weeks. (Waiting for the much anticipated Economic Relief check w00t!) I've never played paintball, but I know tactics, I'm willing to listen to those who know, and I can find the business end of an M4 :)

I saw a post from Venom looking for folks in the West Valley to form a team. I'm in Surprise so that would be ideal, but I'm not opposed to doing some driving. I noticed there are games scheduled on the calendar, but I can't seem to find any info on where they are located. What am I missing? Also any suggestions on gear (mostly appropriate BDU/ACU colors) is appreciated.

Thanks and glad to meet everyone!

Hello! My name is Ethan, and I've been playing the occasional game of Airsoft for about four years now. It's been quite difficult to arrange games among my friends here in Flagstaff, but now that I have a source of income (and a lot of free time in college!) I'm looking to get a bit more serious about playing Airsoft.

A bit about myself... Well, ironically, I'm a pacifist :P However, I enjoy true competition (not just winning), as it can really test one's strength and intelligence. After a fair amount of research and experience, I've found that Airsoft can be quite competitive without breaking the bank. And so, here I am :)

Also, I'm quite interested in Airsoft teams. If anyone could point me in the right direction to get more information on what exactly they do, I would be grateful.

Thanks, and I look forward to playing some Airsoft with you all!

Hey you guys! Names Darrell. I've played paintball since I can remember, and got my first TM m16 about 6 years ago. I've been playing all over Arizona ever since. Typically I play at Fort Adobe with the fellas at APD, but I've played all over Arizona. My arsenal has since grown (that's an understatement), and I've become quite a bit more serious. I was referred to AA by an old 'battle buddy' who's payed only a couple games with associated with AA so far, but we have plans to be playing a lot more. I'm just a milsim enthusiast at heart, and usually play OpFor roles (someones gotta play the haji), but I do still have ACUs and M4s for when i gotta do the USMC thing. Also, if your looking for some cheap upgraded CA guns check the classifieds, as I'm trying to clear some room in my vault..

Good to be here! See you on the front lines!

Hi.  I live i Scottsdale and have been in airsoft for approximately 1 year.
I own(ed) A mini uzi, pt 92, auto hardball, dpms a-15, m4505, Tm Uzi.  Spikez is really the one who introduced me to all of this.  It's more convenient than real steel, cheaper than paintball, and the guns are more realistic than .177 caliber bb guns.  Im kind of on airsoft probation due to a B on mid terms but i might be able to play again pretty soon.  (Plus the Uzi broke.)

Welcome.  A "B" huh?  I used to get money for grades like that. :P

My name is Rich and I'll be moving to Arizona sometime in August due to a job transfer. I'm 40 years old and I've served in the military and I've been in airsoft circle for about 7 years now and I'll be looking for a team to sign up with when I get there. Not sure what part of the Phoenix area I'll be moving to but I can say is that I'll be working at the airport in that area, so if you have any info on where to move to please let me know.

Title: hey Im headed to flagstaff soon
Post by: Kingarmssniper on May 06, 2008, 05:21:57 PM
and am an avid fan of airsoft. Currently saving up for a King arms free float 24". My name is graham im from tucson and im headed to flagstaff for nau! it would be freakin awesome to come to any games come next semester. No ive never been in the military but ive been shooting anything i could get my hands on for years. Started back in the day with bbs and pellet guns, did some paintballing for about a year here in tucson then moved on to airsoft! Ive never played in a organized airsoft battle yet just friends and the desert cus its just to much of a pain to drive out to the only fields. Ive been sniping for two years with simple bolt action guns. Currently i have a UTG sniper rifle. lots of fun but im ready for something more serious so im pulling some funds together (aside from college funds) to pull myself together one bad ass plinker. Ive been all over the place online to find the best base for a aeg sniper and have settled on the king arms. Any different suggestions? my final purchase wont take place for awhile so if anyone has any ideas for a great auto sniper in the $400 ish range  that'd be great!

Welcome Gabi. You'll find opinions on just about everything ever made for Airsoft on this forum already discussed, and usually years ago. Search for Galaxy MP5 and you'll find a few opinions on that AEG.

am not sure how well I could fit in to this sport.  I am 100% disabled with the VA for my breathing,   hak hak, gotta another smoke?   No seriously it is hard for me to run but I have a keen eye and have played war as a kid and have played a little paint ball.  I have always loved guns and this full auto stuff is just almost erotic, ya know?  I love 1st person shooter games on the PC like Call of Duty 4 and Battlefield 2142.  I love playing in coop mode and keeping in contact with fellow team members to achieve ultimate and bloody victory.  Maybe I could be a sniper or scout with a radio.  I could plant my big belly on a hill and call in some snake and nape.

Hi. My name is Tom and  I've been doing airsoft off and on since 2003.  I'm new to this forum.  I Mainly recruited co-workers and buddies from high school or college to go out and scrim.   Largest Game I have hosted was 18 people.  We're not into the whole military imitation thing with fake ranks and all that silly stuff.  My buddies and I usually do "real life" versions of the video games Counterstrike or Goldeneye 64 multiplayer mode.  Our gameplay is really casual, there's no boot camps, marches, orders; just straight up grab an AEG and mow people down like you would in video games. Very fun stuff.  I like capture the flag, hostage rescue, trench warfare, and other stuff.  I've got Marui AEGs, and a vsr10 that shoots 550 fps.  If you're interested in that type of game play, send me a PM.  I encourage "noobs" or people with moderate experience to hit us up.  Please only 18 and older, as most of us are in our twenties.  If you're under 18, have your folks hit me up.

Hey AA,

Radar here all the way from SoCal... just dropping in as I have not been back since '06! A few pals and I run an airsoft radio station, OPSEC Airsoft Radio (http://www.opsecairsoft.com (http://www.opsecairsoft.com)) and a few of our listeners updated us on the on-goings of AA. We have a segment where we showcase games from around the US and we'd love to start pimping out upcoming AA games. Anyway.. I have been playing since late '00, early '01 and am hopelessly addicted. A few teammates and I will be at LC:7... hope to see a few of you there.

Take it easy,

Active duty military here.  Going to be in Sierra Vista for 3 months starting late next week.  I'm looking to get hooked up in the Airsoft scene down there in AZ.  

I'm an active member of Recondo.  It is a local group here in North Carolina consisting of mostly Active Duty Military, Retired Military and Civil Service.  I'm pleased to be an ambassador to the sport and would love to get together with the more prominent teams and swap stories, TTP's and experience.

Let's open up the lines of communication and share some information

Glad to know that Airsoft has some organization in Arizona.

Hello,

My name is Karl and I'm from Phoenix. I just found this site today because I just ordered a Airsoft DBoys V2 Full Metal M16 SPR Mod. 1 AEG Rifle and I'm potentially looking to participate in airsoft gaming. I've owned a couple of chincy airsoft springers and have had some fun with them, so I thought I'd try getting a better gun and see if I like it. I have a lot of learning to do so it's going to take me a while to get up to speed. Looking foward to it though.

Hi all,

I posted in the Local Games section for my first post, and although I gave a bit of an into, I should have done that here first, oops.  

Im 29 and have an 8 year old son, we are both just getting into airsoft.  He's always been interested in playing army, be it in video games or just running around with his friends.  So when one of his friends showed him his airsoft gun he was really excited and told me all about it.  Well, that was about 3 months ago and now we each have airsoft rifles, both made by JG, his is an MP5 and I have an M4.  I've put a light, sight, and red laser on his, and a sight, red laser, gas powered gernade launcher, and light on mine.

The neighborhood and park are pretty much the extent of where we have played, and it has just been my son and the local neighborhood kids (sometimes I'll hop in for a game or 2).

We really need a place to play, somewhere in the desert or a field or something.  Pretty much anywhere that will get them out of the neighborhood.  I dont think they are ready to join an official coordinated game or team, so just a spot in the Gilbert, Mesa area that I can take them that has a decent amout of cover would be great for now.

Thanks, and sorry for the mis-post in the "local games" section....

Hey Arejay,

I'm 29 too, but no kids for me. Wow, you managed to make me feel old AND like I've missed out in life. I'll play with you if you want sometime. Maybe we can get a few more people together. Like I said, I don't have a son, but I'll have no problem shooting yours ;)

Well where to start.   I've been into airsoft since 2000-2001.  I played for couple of years, then I got derailed by a bad breakup with my kids POS mother.   This year I started a new job (Corrections Officer)and I hoped to get back into the game.   I have been able to get online and search things when I'm in the office, so that's how I found this site.  If I ever get any Sundays off I am looking forward to going back down to EAG in Lockhaven PA, that's the closet field that I know of, plus the guys there are real cool.    

My arsenal includes  a custom Phantom Aug,  a fully upgraded to the max APS sniper rifle, a stock TM SIG 552, a TM AK 47S, and my side arm is a glock 17 or a KSC Beretta.
I'm thinking about getting a new AEG but I'm not sure what one yet.  I think I have my eye on the VFC SCAR H, but I'm not sure yet, I want to do more research on it first.  TM and CA were the only real two companies the last time I played.

Hey everyone,

I'm Andrew, a 14 year old from Oro Valley. I've been playing airsoft for a little over a year now and am completely in love with it. I'm hoping that I'll be able to attend some events, but first I have to find out if 14 year old minors are even allowed to in most games. I've seen much controversy over the matter, and that has led me to great confusion. So, can anyone reading this also (if they are able to) answer this question: Is a fourteen year old allowed to attend events provided he has a parent and all required safety gear with him?

Thanks in advance.  :)

Hello all!

My name is Franklin, and I live in the Flagstaff area. I am 25 and I was introduced to airsoft earlier this year by a friend of mine, SARC. He let me use his G36 at a game a little north of Tuscon. Although I was hit many times, I was hooked.

So this last weekend I purchased my first AEG, an Echo 1 M249.  :mrgreen:.  I cannot wait to use this new toy, but I do not know any airsoft players in my area, if there is any. And though I was never in the military, I am interested in milsim's and would like to learn basic and advanced tactics as they apply to airsoft.

I am still working on my gear setup, but I have enough to be playable: googles, gun, H2O, vest rig.

Hello everyone,

My name is Bo and I am in Chandler,AZ.  I am new to airsoft.  have been watching the forums for a few months and looking around etc to make sure I was interested before wasting anyone’s time.  I have yet to play out with anyone, but am highly excited and interested for the time when I do.

I am currently getting looking around/getting ready to purchase some gear so I am attend a game.  I am mostly interested in the sniper model guns as I am a pretty good shot (I earned the expert rifle qualification badge in the army and did a TON of shooting  growing up).  I have been looking at the L96 rifle as overall it seems a good place to start.... any thoughts or suggestions?  Also, any suggestions on other equipment to keep an eye out for?

Thanks and I look forward to shooting you soon! j/k   ;-)

Welcome to the boards. Don't confuse real world shooting concepts with airsoft shooting, two completely different ball games. You'd probably be better off buying a decent AEG, instead of trying to be a sniper. Being a great shot means nothing in airsoft, as the ranges are so short, and things like wind can DRASTICALLY change the flight path of a bb. Not to mention a single shot is ineffective, it often takes several rounds, one right after another, for an opponent to call a hit. For instance, a while back I took a shot at someone from pretty far off(with my rather expensive sniper rifle), and managed to hit them. This person stood there, and looked around, then finally saw me. I was watching him, and he knew it, so he called himself out. Had he not spotted me, I'm sure he would have kept on shooting his AEG at people. Had I done the same thing with an AEG, he wouldn't even have had to spot me to call himself out, because I would have a.) kept shooting and b.) he would probably wouldn't wanna get shot anymore.

Thanks for the heads up Firehead!  Yeah, I have read about everything you just said more than once now.  I agree with you as far as real world vs airsoft, wind, distance etc.  I am looking around for a decent AEG as you suggested as well.  Most likely that is where I will end up starting out, like everyone probably does, and moving into the sniping aspect over time and experience.  Thanks for the tips greatly appreciated!

But... also, you have to admit that even though you only hit that guy once..... it probably felt pretty good. lol   ;)

On the other side its hard to know you got shot. I remember awhile back I was sniped but didn't know at first. I had walked a few feet out of spawn and thought I got stung since I didn't see anyone of hear anything nor see the BB fall. So I stopped got down and looked down/around for anything then got shot again when I stood back up. I still didn't see where or who shot me but walked out anyway.

Sometimes its hard to tell. I've been stung before on the field and feels similar to me.

If you have a serious need for a Sniper's rifle the L96s are like $100 and shoot 462ish. Its ok but needs initial care for it to work right. That way you don't blow $500++++ for a high priced rifle you don't want use anymore. I tried it for while and couldn't stand people not calling their hits or having the wind take the round.

I understand what you are saying. I didn't mean to imply he was cheating or anything, but I meant to say that it is hard to tell. Sometimes you don't feel it. I've been hit before and only heard the snap of the bb off my vest. Its rarely a single shot that does it though, you hear other hits and stuff hitting bushes or your cover. I call stuff to be safe. It was such a distance that I hit the guy that he probably barely felt anything other than a tap, so I wouldn't have got upset about it had he not called it, but good on him for doing so.

Hey, just a teenager here.
I was introduced to airsoft when I was 14 but didn't really get into it until this year at the age of seventeen.
I own a JG SVD, Echo1 DMR, Echo1 AK47, UTG Fullstock shotgun, DE M58 Shotgun, Well MP7, and several spring powered pistols.
(As you can see, it's all a teenager working at Safeway can afford.)
I am actually in the NJROTC and hope to be a Marine one day.

Hey. I live in Fountain Hills, and theres hardly any airsofting out here (that I know of). I have a few guns, and I practically swear by Tokyo Marui's.  I have a TM Desert Eagle, a TM MP5, and am gettin an AK47 Beita Spetsnaz. I am itching for a big game, because lately my friends and I havent been able to airsoft in my friends HUGE backyard because of his neighbors.

I have been airsofting for over 5 years and am 17 years old. I own a few steel rifles and am pretty familiar with the game. I am a part of a two man team but play with groups of usually ten. Love playing and hope to become more active in the upcoming months.

Hello, my name is Austin and have lived in the East Valley for most of my life, one year being in Philadelphia. But anyways, I now reside in the Apache Junction/East Mesa area, and have been airsofting casually for a while now. I own my own basic paintball setup as well, but paint and air are just too expensive for my weekly "weekend" budget. I also enjoy the mil-sim of airsoft much more and am currently shooting a Scar-L. On another note, I know Jeremia from when him and Ron worked the Jungletoy in Phoenix, and am happy to officially be on these forums. Thanks for your time, and I hope to see you guys around!

Hi, I have been into airsoft for about 3 years and have grown accustomed to backyard skirmishes. i have come from wal-mart guns that struggle to reach 5 feet to my pride and joy  :mrgreen: my echo 1 m249 mkII. My other guns are a CA M15A4 sportline and a KWA G26c. I have been ghosting the forum for a while and have become comfortable enough to join.

Hey guys, my name is Sam and I have been into airsoft for a few years now. Mostly, I have just played with spring pistols and shotguns in peoples backyards, but recently I purchased an Echo 1 M4 AEG. So far I love the thing and can't wait to try going to some of the more serious games. Anyways, I have just been browsing these forums lately and finally decided to make a profile.

Punctuation is your friend. No seriously, if we have to deconstruct your post to make sense of it, then people here will be less apt to help you.

Anyway just show up to games, you don't need to be a part of a team since you're either green or tan anyway.

Hi my name is Cody I live in Gilbert and I hate punctuation sorry I am new to airsoft and am loving it.  I met some guys at the red dawn showing and they suggested that I get on the forum.  I have a crazy schedule and am looking to play weekends working on kit but got an echo1 mp5 that I am really happy with.  I have read a lot here so far and am grateful for all of the info.  See you through my sights soon.

Post by: -MAD- SARGE on July 11, 2008, 09:03:02 PM
All jokes aside, punctuation is very much a part of this board.  If you cannot take the time to write cohesively, then we do not have the time to read your post.

The key here is that posts at AA are held to a higher standard.  In the past this forum has been a wealth of knowledge, a great resource for people to research information.  We want to continue on this path and punctuation is a part of that.

Now welcome to the forums and if you go out to a game somewhere remember one thing, Honor.  If you remember that above all else, you will do just fine.

i would not recommend jg at all , the guns at big five like the Aftermath guns , i have heard good things about them but i would recommend the classic army sportline you can get them at arizona paintball depot. I have one and they are probably going to be your best choice for a AEG that is not expencive , but is good quality.

The names Immer. 17 years old soon to be 18. Been interested in airsoft for about 5 years now, but never really have taken the time to get into it. Friend of mine buys airsoft pistols and rifles every once in a while, I try em out and enjoy them. He recently bought 2 GBB and I think its time i get into buying a rifle and/or gun of my own. we've shot each other before in small 1v1 skirmishes. thats the most experience we've both had, im looking into really digging deep and getting into this airsoft community and hopefully get into some big games and learn a lot of stuff at the same time, I live in Tucson, and as we know(ppl of Tucson) it can get pretty boring here, at least for me, so im looking at this as a new hobby i plan to take all the way.

I just wanted to know if there were any teams in scottsdale that I could look into joining. Could I have more info on that. Anyone whose part of a team in scottsdale can just Email me at cblaz99@aol.com instead of posting a reply, I eagerly await any replies. Thanks.

Ok time to fix this, I am new to Airsoft. I have one AEG at this moment which is a CA M4 Sportline. I know its a budget gun, but it was my first. I have begun to look at other brands and have got a list, I still know nobody who plays and so thats why I came to these forums. So far everyone has been very helpful, and I cant wait to be able to make it to a game. Which is going to be hard since I work every Weekend

Hi all, my name is Shadow, and I am on the Desert Hawks team in Tucson. I have been playing airsoft for two years, in my backyard with springers, sneaking up on my friends and such, but only got into AEG's in the past two months. Right Now I borrow an L85 from a teammate, due to a house I may be getting soon. I am most likely going to the game on the 23rd, not a hundred percent yet though. Look forward to meeting you all eventually.

Hey guys, My name is Manuel. Cobras are my favorite cars (dun matter what year). First gun, ICS MP5, love this thing. Now im into sniping. I have a fully upgrade JG BAR-10 I practice it it very frequently. I pretty much know how to fix most of the common BAR-10 problems so dont hesitate to PM me if you need help with your BAR-10. I was referred to this site by the former Jungle Toy which is now known as Airsoft Gear Box. I post frequently on ASR as well.

Welcome to the boards. I was taking a look at the BAR-10. Do you have any words to say about it?

In one corner we have the feisty newcomer, SVT Cobra.

In the other corner, crafty veteran of many foreign wars, PHX Cobra.

I'm not sure what will happen in this battle for naming rights.

Welcome to the boards. I was taking a look at the BAR-10. Do you have any words to say about it?

Thanks for the welcome, I appreciate it!I do some words about the BAR-10 actually. Its a great gun for the money. For $120 you get the gun, a 3-9X zoom scope with illuminated reticle, and shipping (this from airsoftgi.com. Out of the box the gun shoots very nicely and the rubberized stock has a great quality finish. Since, it is a VSR-10 100% clone you can put ANY after market VSR-10 upgrades in it. The gun seems to have some hop-up issues that require shimming but its not a big deal. Also, you must be careful when you disassemble it as well. Make sure to unscrew the cylinder head and take out the internals BEFORE you pop out the spring guide stopper. You see, pulling the spring guide stopper first will cause it to deform, which cause it to misalign your piston, which causes a stiff bolt return, which causes the piston sear to wear down and eventually fail (the famous "bolt slams forward problem") rendering the gun useless until you get a new sear or trigger assembly. Improper disassembly has haunted me and many others who made a very simple disassembly mistake lol. All in all, its a great gun that I recommend to anyone who is considering picking one up. As, for myself, I have "invested" about $300 in upgrades into the gun. Yeah I know is pricey, but man the guns shoots great! I absolutely love it! I hope this post helps anyone who is considering or has recently gotten a BAR-10. Be careful with the spring guide stopper lol!!!

Sorry for the double post, I just read your post lol. Well, see SVT stands for Special Vehicle Team, so it refers to a car, PHX Cobra may be referring to the actual snake I dont know. If he is referring to the car as well, then this makes us Mustang brethren...lol...united against the GTOs, Camaros, Firebirds and all the other non-sense that aren't mustangs.
lol jk.

He's had an STI and now has a Lotus Elise.

To start off I live in Tucson and was told to join these boards by Striker. I started playing paintball a few years ago while working at Raytheon as a recreational sport. Then a year ago i got serious about it and played for a team based locally. had some issues with team members not acting there age so I quit. Then Striker got me into airsoft and it has been a blast since. I am currently on Team Spectre and have only played a few bigger events but mostly small skirmishes or practice in cqc. I plan on attending a lot more large events in the future. I am currently in the process of joining the Air National Guard. Any questions let me know. Thanks!

Hello, my name is Gavin, and I'm just your average newbie from Mesa. I'm the kind of guy who doesn't go out and buy a full military uniform, I just have my jeans and a t-shirt and my trusty thigh holster. But, that can all change if I get back into airsoft. I would love to get involved in AA tournaments and stuff like that. I'm only 13 but I know how to be mature and respectful. If someone can get me involved that would be great. I'd love to get to know y'all.  :D

Hello all,

So my name is Shaun.  I got into airsoft recently because our neighbors got guns and a small friendly war broke on on our street.  I have been getting more and more into airsoft as time goes by.  I have a small amount of gun knowledge and the only tactical know how i have comes from video games.  I was huge in counterstrike and DOD back in the day.  

That's about it for me, ohh i run my own online marketing business so i have very flexible hours.  

Thanks

well... at least we correct the mistake while he's NOT enlisted. Seth, if you were that kind of mistake would give you a considerable about of time on your face.

..."mister".. you'd never hear the end of it.

James. If you're looking to enlist, I suggest you get out the whole gangsta' thing before you do so. I understand you're a rapper, but if you don't lose that sort of attitude, they'll beat it out of you.

well now i know he was a Sergeant, but when i was posting that, i was trying to remember his rank, but i couldnt figure it out, i knew he was a sergeant but in my head i was thinking he was a staff sergeant, but i didnt want to be wrong so i just put Mister in front rather than get his rank wrong.

There are plenty of 13 year old snipers/PSD on the Net.
MOST are posers and trolls. One can never be sure.

As far as trigger time, I've chewed more dirt than some, less than others.

Hey all! Its good to be on the airsoft Arizona forums. I currently live in Michigan but coming up next year (2009) i will be going to college in Tempe Arizona. I love to play airsoft, no matter how bad I am at it lol I have not played airsoft to often in large games but i have been known to plink around a lot with the guys from the neighborhood.

I would like to find a place that i can play some games near Phoenix so that would be cool if there are a lot of local boys who get together to play on a regular basis, if not no worries. Feel free to PM me with more info!

thanks guys hope to be seeing all of you around the forums.

Hello all... I just moved to Scotsdale from LA a few months ago and am looking for good/fun games with quality players.  I got into airsoft about four years ago when my roommate and I bought a couple of pistols so we could shoot each other in our apartment. I bought my first AEG, a CA M4, a few months later and started going to organized games.  I was instantly hooked and started buying everything I needed to compete effectively.  Unfortunately, I injured my back and was out of the game for about a year.  Now I want to get back into some serious fun with local players and games.  I have a Tahoe and am willing to carpool to games to meet new people...

P.S. I went to Gearbox Airsoft the other day to check them out and the customer service was outstanding.  The gentleman  there was very friendly and answered every question I had about local airsoft.

OK, Rob, Ill bite. And keep in mind I made it up through Boot Camp and got a medical discharge. I ve been shooting since I was four, and know more about long range ballistics than (a fair majority, I will be so bold to say) on here.

Your weapon is an M40 A5/R5. You have a 26 inch long Bull barrelled rifle with a 1/11" twist. You have a Timney trigger set at 2.5 lbs. Your brass is a once fired
M118LR brass with a Magnum primer. You have 45 grains of Varget. You are seated with a 175 grain Sierra Match King (seating depth does not matter).

Your Optic is a Leupold Mark IV with 80 clicks of MOA adjustment all around. You are seated on a Seekins Precision base with an already canted 20 MOA base. You are perched on a rock at 549 meters with an elevation offset of 120 M below you. You are shooting over desert terrain and scrub. Ambient air temperature is a mild 75 degrees F with a relative humidity of 33%. Barometric pressure is 29.92 and rising.


Lastly this shouldnt matter if it was a cold bore shot or not...this is covered in Sniper Basic. Naturally you should know exactly whats going on since you claim (sic) to be an 8541. Your cold bore is only to determine your zero. That should have been figured out before you went off to the range or on your mission.

Good luck answering this one. If you can truelly give me the clicks of elevation I will be astounded. If not, then GET THE FUCK OUT.

Sandy;
I guess you didn't read the previous post from DOC... I am already vetted here BUT....since you want to call me out to the bear pit and play...lets play...
 You stated the following scenerio:

"Your weapon is an M40 A5/R5. You have a 26 inch long Bull barrelled rifle with a 1/11" twist. You have a Timney trigger set at 2.5 lbs. Your brass is a once fired
M118LR brass with a Magnum primer. You have 45 grains of Varget. You are seated with a 175 grain Sierra Match King (seating depth does not matter).

You are perched on a rock at 549 meters with an elevation offset of 120 M below you. You are shooting over desert terrain and scrub. Ambient air temperature is a mild 75 degrees F with a relative humidity of 33%. Barometric pressure is 29.92 and rising. "

I like the weapon selection, trigger, brass, powder, and round, since you only mentioned the Leupold Mark IV , I assumed it would be the Leupold MK4 M3 Scope w/USMC Mil-Dot reticle, 10X, because after all nothing but the finest for this op right???  you are harsh though... Im perched on a rock with not so much at a butt pack to rest my rifle on...Its a good thing that I had a spare Harris Bipod in my cargo pocket...  oh but wait...Im all set up but What the Hell am I shooting at????? hmmm Light bulb......hince......... I have no target Identified at the time of your request....  I do not need to worry about any DOPE......sorry about your luck but say goodbye and go play elsewhere.....

Rob
Title: Re: New Guys, Please Read! Make your first posts here!!
Post by: Sandy on November 08, 2008, 10:37:10 AM
Well Rob, unfortunately, MK IV s only come in a few different reticles, so well play, 2nd Gen TMR reticle. Scope is a vari power. I thought you were an 8541, you should know its SOP for the rifle to come with its own bipod. Secondly, they have cheek rests on the back end of the stock. Stability should not be your main factor. Your general target area is an 10" by 16" inch square. Doesnt matter. Were not pretending to be operators here but since you wanna play it like that its the area of your targets head.


Apparently you have no idea what Im going on about. You cant give me a decent answer on my weapons related knowledge and play with the big boys.  So unless you can post a SCANNED copy of your DD214 with all the important shit blanked out (Social, Address, anythign like that, ) Im calling you full of shit on the Marine part. Very well for Army but Marines I think your full of snot.

You might be new to the scene here and think I am cause of my post count but I ve been on AMSOG for over a year now and been a contributing member there and know quite a few people on here. Do not judge a book by its cover.

Hey i am 13 years old and live in Chandler. I got into airsofting when i was about 10 years old. My brother came home from a boyscout hike one day (i am a boy scout too) and said aww dude we got to get an airsoft gun, so we did, lol a taurus clear plastic spring pistol with 180fps...but then i thought well these got to get a bit better...so i went on youtube and typed in airsoft. That day i got hooked...now i have a JG M4 CQB and am currently upgrading it with a CA stock, M120 spring, 9.4V 2400mah battery, and TAC products M200 red dot sight. I went to my local airsofting store and a guy directed me to this sight and he told me there would be games for kids my age, and I thought finally, i can have some fun.

Well, not exactly new to airsoft, just been a few years. Late 20's, Scorpio, and enjoys long walks on the beach (in AZ, yea right). Been over seas, getting shot at isn't new, and I realize that the older I get it takes a little bit longer to get up. I hope to be a part timer- kids, work, and the other things seems to eat up my weekends, naturally.

I seem to more into the tech side: I.E. tweaking and building new stuff.

My wish list: Airsoft artillery, crafting a RPG, and designing a 'muzzle flash' adapter for night games.

hey, im clayton i live in tucson az and have been airsofting scince i was in 6th grade. my first gun was the cross-man lol pulse r70 m4. it broke after 4 days but i returned it for the smith and wesson shotgun. enough of that , anyways, i realized in 8th grade that i was 185 pounds and 5'7". me and my closest airsoft friend had a real long study of fireteam placement and small unit tactics. so i found that my immobility could do well for me as a saw gunner. so i bought my saw, and i am now vested in nothing but support weapons. i am now in part with tac. im still only 14 anyways.

Well considering there is nothing OPSEC about ANY of the medical support private organizations that would have supported Kosovo/Bosnia I don't see why you would have any hesitation to say who you were working for?

I have to say that people who talk about what an AK sounds like from the other end and "getting shot at" are pretty much full of bullshit.

Your story sound like a movie plot - unrealistic and fiction.

The problem is you could have just come in here, played airsoft and whatever but you had to bring some spotlight on your "combat zone" time and "stories" you could tell, but when you get coin checked you can't even deliver a legitimate affiliation.  Its OK to brag about your high speed experience but not OK to say who you were with ?

FOS IMHAO dude...

Hello Everyone! I am a former paintball player, but I just found it to be too much of a hassle to buy $40 of paint + $15 field entry fee every time I wanted to play. Just now completed my order for a Jg Bar-10 sniper airsoft and hope to have a blast. I am 19(male) and currently live in Glendale, Arizona. I was discouraged when I was searching for a airsoft field in Arizona and couldn't find any, but then I found this forum. It's awesome that you guys thought of this matching forum and made it readily available to the public.  Anyways sorry for the winded intro, hope to have fun with airsoft and meet some cool peeps ready to play on here.

Bad News: City of Glendale (City Code) : Sec. 26-58.  Discharging weapons. :

(a)   No person shall, within the limits of the city, fire or discharge any air gun, BB gun, pellet gun, dart gun, gas operated gun, spring gun or other similar gun or instrument.



Which areas of Arizona are free reign for Airsoft?

To each his opinion I suppose......
And where was I bragging? This is something I usually DON'T bring up. I merely mentioned I spent some time there.

And, all firearms sound different when coming from the other end of the barrel.

I might seem young to you guys 15 nearly 16 but i have been around airsoft guns and firearms most of my mature life and i know to take every precaution with them. I've had a few aegs and i am hoping to finally have some actually play time with them. Hopefully i can meet up with a few of you guys and play in the near future!

Can't remember when or where I first discovered the "sport". I've always been a gun nut, though no one in my family shares this passion. Tracing back through time, I remember playing the Metal Gear Solid demo way back in early '98 [maybe late '97?], back when Sony still offered the PLAYSTATION UNDERGROUND CLUB/demo disk mail outs. Without going into a WHOLE other ...passion (more like obsession..) I was instantly drawn in to the world of MGS. If you can believe it, I do believe my discovery of airsoft came about sometime around a year after MGS was released; I think i tried my hardest to web-search replica "Cap Guns", not blanks  (I know, it's hard to imagine an 8/9 year old specifying a "Mk23 Cap Gun" into Google.) I think I was redirected towards some foreign web-page [Japanese] and I soon discovered Marui's MK23, and FAMAS.
Little did I know how "groundbreaking" the FAMAS was to the airsoft world, let alone even knew Marui's history, nor know what airsoft actually was. Nothing went very far from those searches-my mind seriously draws a blank. The last thing I remember doing -fastforward 2001(?)- is HITMAN II. Google Search. Hardballer Cap Guns. (OLD School) Tokyo Marui. Again? What was it with that fcuking name. I did a little more research.
In the fallowing months, I'd amass the knowledge that ...well wouldn't leave me dumb founded, questioning manufacture business and history when Western Arms, some years later, came out with their HardBaller.
This knowledge took years to learn (after googling "cheap airsoft"; having owned and "gone through" a near gauntlet of KWC Springers from AIRSPLAT, before turning to the likes of Redwolf, etc.) and in that time, the love for anything guns, scope&sight recticles, Pre-ban/Post-ban, etc grew.

I really don't know how I got to where I am today,
"It's been one hell of a ride" would be ..major understatement. After meeting some friends who shared a real common interest in this during High School, I was introduced to AA right before I bought MY first gun/s, at the LEGAL age (lol, my youth laughs..) over at The Gearbox (thanks Ron & crew) summer my Junior Year.

While I may talk big here on the forum, don't be afraid to put the "rookie" in his place.

See ya'll out on the field.

Im "Rootbeer". Im an 8th grader. I was the first of my friends to get an airsoft gun and also the first to get an automatic. Since I was 11 I have owned 5 guns and now only have 1, however its an Aftermath Lycaon(woohoo). Yeah my Ak broke on Halloween because I was being a russian(my heritage, along with dutch and alot of other stuff, but mostly russian). Ya I saw the russian clan! I might join it as soon as I get my questions in 'General Discussion' answered. Oh I'm the second best out of my 8 friends. I also have my own arisofting website(peoria airsofting) lol!

I'm a Texas airsofter, my son recently moved back to the Phoenix area with my ex. Mainly I'm looking for fields and events for him in the Phoenix area. First a little about me:

I'm relatively new to airsoft but not new to re-enactment, MilSim or tactical operations.

I started with WW2 re-enactment back in '90 and '91 before I was deployed off to do the real thing. Came back a couple of years later and starting training on the Law Enforcement side of things with my local Sheriff's Office, Police Dept and a couple of private security firms. I kinda got tired of getting the one finger wave all the time so I moved to the EMS side of things. I paintballed a few times during those years and mainly kept up on the tactical side through classes and training events where I had a few connections and standing invitations. I got divorced, moved to Texas and eventually found my way into the Fire side of Public Safety.

My son just recently came out to live with me. I kept noticing all these damn green balls all over the house. He would, like a typical pre-teen, mumbled off some explanation. Then one day sitting at his desk working on his PC I saw some print outs for a couple of airsoft guns. Then it dawned on me what all those blasted green balls were.

I decided to do some research myself and found out how involved airsoft was and could get. Ok, so it wasn't just a bunch of kids running around the park yelling "bang bang", there are some serious folks out there. I thought to myself, "Now this is something I could get into." Looking at the OpLionClaws events, perusing the different dealer/manufacturer sites (and drooling a bit) I can hardly wait for my knee to heal so I can get back into some tactical fun.

I'll create another post elsewhere to discuss my goals and desires for joining this forum.

Hey everyone, I am 22 years old and live in Mesa. I got my first airsoft gun about a year and a half ago (being ignorant i of course got the clear wal-mart guns) but shortly after i bought a couple of KJW M9's, a TM P90TR and a TM MP5K-PDW. I have an all black uniform setup so if anyone is looking to do a match with special ops in black or something let me know. hopefully by the time summer roles around i will be able to afford a more desert suited setup. I came online here because I finally got tired of destroying soda cans in the back yard with my friend (who finally got his first gun, an Echo 1 P90TR). So now that my friend finally has his own gun we are looking for some places to play at.

Hello,
I'm James (JC) I'm 23, I live in hereford (6-7miles south of sierra vista). I have been playing arisoft for about a year with a group that plays up on Ft. Huachuca. Until now i have been renting guns from them to play with, but this week i will be getting my own guns ( a jg M4 at 360fps, and a we hi-capa metal dragon 5.1 at 325fps). I have one black vest setup with blk/wht camo pants. I love playing arisoft down here and we have many places around here that would be great for games with little or no work to set-up. I would like to start going to more games around arizona and maybe join a team. As for my personal skill, I consider myself decent, I have good aim and tatical sence, I have no military exp, But I love to learn from vet. players, so hello everyone and hope to see you at a game soon

Hey guys my name is Ryan, I have been playing paintball for about 5 years and recently decided to give it up cause its expensive and maybe play some arisoft to be able to shoot people still  :D . I have been scowering these threads as a visitor for about 2 weeks trying to get as much info as I can about guns and what not. I am really looking to be a sniper and I know sniping is really that relevant but I would like to try.

My name is Luke, I'm an active duty Marine stationed in Yuma, with about a year left on my enlistment. I plan on switching to the army and hopefully serving in the 75th rangers. I used to play paintball, but got sick of everyone wanting to play speedball. I got my very first airsoft gun when I was in middle school, some crappy little m16 with the m203 on the bottom. Spring gun, all plastic, but I still loved it. Fast forward to a couple of months ago, I finally got a "real" gun so I could still practice and retain my skills with my actual guns, without having to spend so much freakin money on ammo.

I have a VFC SCAR-L in dark earth, which is a pretty nice gun, but thanks to a crappy manual, I broke some small pieces while trying to change out the barrel, so it's out of commission for the next couple of days. I also have the Wilson Combat 1911, (goes along with my personal motto- Never carry a handgun whose caliber is less than .44)

I fell in love with the multicam pattern back when the army was still doing the scorpion project to find their replacement uniforms. I've got pretty much a full load out, except for comm gear.

As far as skills go, well, I've been shooting since I could pick up my Dad's .22 and I'm a pretty crack shot. I can fill pretty much any role: Rifleman, designated marksman, gunner, even sniper.

That's all I got, if you wanna know more, just ask me or see for yourself when I start playing some games  :)

Because Ranger Batt is the shit.

In all seriousness, various units have different roles and serve a different purpose. Often times a specific unit from another branch appeals to someone more so than one within their current branch. Since he is prior service he wouldn't have to go through basic all over again. Myself, I've got my packet ready to go 75th as a medic when we get back from A'Stan.

Eh, me and the marine corps havent gotten along so well. Hence, why I'm still a lance after four years. When I joined up I thought it was all about drinking and fighting and swearing and whoring and generally, all the stories I heard growing up. Turns out fighting and drinking were what caused both my njps.

Plus, I'm a winger. They dont like guys like us in recon, we're pogues. I'd like to try out, but I know myself too well, and as good as I am, I'm not at that level. I'd like to do an actual infantry MOS before I go try out for something considered higher. Stepping stones, if you will. Eventually, fuck yeah I'd love to be a green beret. That'll take a while though.

Just enlisted for 4 years, already have 1 down. I have Airborne, RIP, Ranger school, and SOCM to goto if I wanna go Ranger Batt. 48 weeks or so without in-processing/travel time. I'd be squeezing it close as Rangers are a 2 year commitment without having to re-up.

Hi, My names Eddie, I live down here in Sierra Vista, AZ.
I've been Airsofting for a good 6 years now but I'm new to the site. We use to use the Military's MOUT site on Ft. Huachuca, unil some idiot thought it was a great idea to do a pretend drive by shooting, and the Base Commander told us we couldn't use the site anymore. So now its harder to get games going because there's no where else open to play airsoft. Anyway, me and a couple of guys down here, we are itching to get back into the field, we live about 68 miles south of Tuscon, so if there are any games open we're willing to make the trip up there.

Hello,
My name is Tom and I live on the mesa-chandler border. I started Paintball when i was 10-ish. I got pretty serious into that scene until the closest spot shut down and my friends got me into airsoft. I have only been to a few big games but that will change in February (18th B-Day!). I notice much of you are not fans of stupid people so I hope I am mature enough for you.  :lol: I hope to join a team so if there are any openings send me a PM.

I am Connor. I have been playing airsoft for about 7 years. I am 15. I just recently found your website from google because I was searching for Airsoft games. I am making a team with about 10 guys from church. We play about 3 times a week in our church parking lot. I noticed that there are a lot of games but you have to be 18 or older which is a HUGE bummer. Thanks and pm it up!!! :D

I'm newbie and wanting to play with some other older players.  I'm 41 years young  :D , and my two of my 3 sons (17 and 15) are also wanting to play.  I've got no formal military experience.  I'd like to play with some folks that have game experience and can teach us some tactical points.  My oldest son is considering joining the military and I would like him to get a taste of realistic field play.  Please PM me if you have a game that will fit our experience level.

I have no idea what to do with this gun, seriously, any suggestions would be appreciated( sorry for the long post)

Hello my name is Dean,
I'm new to airsoft, purchased a nice m4 for my son for christmas, liked it so much we went and bought 2 more.  We are having a blast with these things. Nothing like bonding with your 15 year old son by blasting him with little bbs at 400 fps  :D  Cant wait to get  into some games around here.

I have known airsoft for awhile. I learned about airsoft 7 years ago after i bought a spring gun for a movie prop and afte3 months of owning it i discovered that you can shoot each other with it. back then i wanted to buy an aeg but they were way too expensive andi had nobody to play with. recently i became friends with a guy who plays airsoftwith his friends and i got back into it and stated out with my LPEGs and discovered that there are games going on in the valley and bought a really good AEG. a CA M15A4.  I am part of e Gilbert police departments volunteer unit and i watch SWAT when they practice in th police station, i have learned a few close quarters combat tricks that they use when entering buoildings

Hey, I'm new here

I've been airsofting for about 4 years now I believe.  Stared with 2 LPEG BE AUGs and eventually worked my way up to an E1 and now an SRC.

I am currently on an airsoft team and I am the "mechanic" of the team.

My primary weapon right now is an SRC G36K with an Edgi 6.01 363mm barrel and I'm awaiting my Systema bucking, Guarder ball bearing spring guide, G&P shims, and Guarder SP110.  (I lost my Systema bucking..... :roll:)  My back up is a KIA E1 G36C. (needs a new gas block, piston, and piston head)

Post by: Apleodie on January 21, 2009, 02:05:01 AM
Hey guys,

I'm not entirely sure how to start off, but I guess I'll go with this:

I started airsofting way back in 04 when I was really interested in paintball, but went off looking for a cheaper alternative and found airsoft. Then, two years later in 06, I really got into the game and began to realize that there was a little bit more to it than just backyard wars and springer duels. So I like to say that I only have around 3 years worth of experience, because the first two years weren't even close to what I now consider airsoft. I still find it funny that the main reason I got into airsoft was because I had thought it was cheaper than paintball....

Anyway, I had started at a fairly young age. Eventually I was the one organizing airsoft events and finding recruits to make a small "team." I learned about Airsoft Arizona quite a long time ago when I was doing searches on the internet for "airsoft in arizona." Of course, I never bothered paying any attention to the site because it wasn't the kind of airsoft that I was familiar with.

Now, I figured I would join up on the forums as I will be turning 18 here in July and I can't wait to get out there and play airsoft, the right way, with a bunch of guys that know the grounds.

Hope that's enough.

My name is Alexander.  I am 18 years old and I am currently attending and living at Arizona State University as a Physics major.  Therein lies my dillema.  I have wanted to and still want to get into airsoft but storing any guns here would obviously be strictly prohibited, and I'm not about to take the risk of hiding them.  My mother lives about twenty minutes away, but the last time I talked to her about airsoft (a couple years ago) she seemed to be strictly against it, no questions asked.  I guess I could try and persuade her to let me store a gun there since I am 18 and all, but I don't have high hopes that she will let me.  Even if I could, I don't have a car so I would be largely dependant on public transportation (which might not be the best place to take an airsoft gun with you) or I could possibly take her Celica but I doubt she would be crazy about it and probably deny me to keep me from going to an airsoft match, ah, problems.

Well, sorry to rant so much in my first post but I guess it is necessary information since I have joined an airsoft forum without an airsoft gun, any experience with airsoft but a strong desire to start.  I don't plan on buying anything less than a medium-high quality AEG assault rifle or submachine gun if I do get the chance as I do have the money to spare.

Does anybody know of any airsoft games that commonly take place in the Tempe area?  A friend that lives in an appartment could possibly let me store my gun there, but I would be pretty restricted as to how far I could travel.

Thank you and I hope that I will have a pleasant stay in this community.

Try CQBAZ http://www.cqbazairsoft.com/ (http://www.cqbazairsoft.com/) . You have to pay to play but it's in the city, you can rent a gun and see if it's something that really interests you. Plus it’s fun!!!

Yeah, I am definitely interested.  Two other friends and I have been constricted to running through the residence hall, halls (: p) with nerf guns in random 5 minute bouts like a bunch of weirdos (not that we aren't, but we sure express it more at those times).  I might try to get them to come with me and I'll try to check it out soon.  Thanks for the suggestion.  I think it would realistically cost about $45-50 for a full day's play ($20 gun rental, $20 vest and $5 for a bb refill) which isn't too steep to try out something that I'm sure I will like.

I've been playing airsoft for about 3 years now, i was a founding member of the Mile High Airsoft club at embry-riddle in Prescott, i've been president of the club for about a year and have recently passed that responsibility on, giving me more time to get our team up and running and more involved with the Arizona airsoft community. I've had some army training (kinda, rotc for a couple years) and am planning on joining the army when i graduate. With this said i enjoy playing milsim games and the use of real world tactics. I was dubbed cap't morgan by my team for my love of, you guessed it, spiced rum. i played tournament level paintball(speedball) in middle school, and was introduced to the world of shooting sports by a member of bad company for you paintball players when i was 10 or so. i hope to get to meet many of you in the next few years.
also pm if you have a team that would like to set up some skirmishes, our team consists of 9 members currently and we love a good challenge and a day of playing

Hello All,

I am new to airsoft and an old paintball player. I lost interest in paintball because of the cost to play. I was in England a few years ago when I really heard about airsoft, it seems to be huge there. It looked cheap, fun, and more intense. Now that I am back in AZ I wanted to look into it. I'm originally from Tempe and in my mid 20's, I work over at Luke. I am looking to meet up with a team or club to see what it's all about. It looks like I have a lot of reading to do here before I start asking questions. If any clubs need a player and willing to take a noob under their wing pm me.

I live in Casa Grande. About 4 years ago a friend and I got interested in airsoft. My first gun was a EBB Desert Eagle. It was such a piece of crap. But it was awesome for me at the time, and I was immediately addicted to airsoft. I've been thru MANY guns til now and I finally got me a good weapon. I currently own an Echo1 G36. No upgrades yet but planning on a few.

Hey i posted on this forum sometime ago but since then i had a kid and now im ready to get back into airsoft. I live in florence Arizona and my name is Kyle Davidson. I love military lifestyle, i want to play with you guys so i can lose weight and become a Marine in the next year to come. i got to lose weight so what better way to do that then simulated conflict.
Ive had my own Airsoft team here in Florence named Lockdown but we broke up due to players not showing up and no commitment. so ive been keeping my eye on the sport through these years and im ready to attack full force.

but i have little leadership experiance, even though in games people look to me to be the leader. But i want to earn my Stripes and earn respect. All i want to do is Get healthy, Learn, and have fun. I am a Team Player i take orders well and adapt to any situation i get into. the way i see it is if one of my teammates fail we all fail. Thank you for this forum and im Looking to join a Team. I just need to Buy a AEG and some BDU's. I will get them in March at some point. so thank you for yur time and i hpe to be hearing back from you guys. BTW if you want to contact me personaly my # is 520-709-3770

I've been an avid airsofter in southern California for about five years, I'm a former USCG TACLET member and I like my airsofting as realistic as possible.  I'm up here in Flagstaff, at Northern Arizona University, so if there are any other Jacks on these forums say what's up!!  cuz I'm working on starting an airsoft league up here with multiple teams ASAP.  I'm even trying to get the ROTC involved.

anyways, just wanted to say what's up and I'm looking forward to meeting everybody!


Pat

Hi, my name is Jason, and i live in east mesa. I've been visiting this site for 3 to 4 years wanting to get into airsoft, but was reluctant since none of my friends were interested in joining me. Finally, decided to just start playing anyways. I'm going on 21 and interested in playing any games in the east valley, so hit me up.

I'm Kariudo as you can call me. either that or Captain Falcon, Wolf, or Wrath. Really whichever nickname of mine you wanna say. i respond to them all really.

i'm normally laid back. calm meditative. and carefree. but when in a war one thing i love finally happens. my eyes get wide, my body gets light, and i begin to think as fast as i shoot. and semm to not run out of energy. i enjoy full blown war. my friends introduced me to airsoft by hitting me with a barrage of rounds while i had no gun. they laughed and walked back to their game. sure enough when i got even the smallest and weakest of airsoft guns, the felt a sting followed up by a sickness. they knew what would happen when i got a real airsoft gun i could actually fight well with. sure enough they found out. i now have a 400 FPS electric Autsomatic Aftermath steel innard rifle. they stopped playing. i need a real challenge. more war. and scenarios of excellence. i want to turn these lackluster workless weekends into intense wartime bliss

FYI, "Captain" is a rank or title that is earned and granted by competent authority.  Typically it refers to a company grade officer, except in the Navy where it is a field grade because the Navy drives boats.  A captain is also the commander of a ship, sailing vessel, etc, who has earned the title under sail and salt and through the respect of his crew.

You are no captian.

You've got a lot to learn about airsoft, but thats what the forum is for.  You'll quickly learn that aftermath is probably one of the worst brands of airsoft guns you can get, and that in fact the term "war" is used by children when referring to an OP or GAME.  You'll also learn that some of us don't take kindly to those who don't know their place and don't take it too hard we just would like to show you our points of view and HOPEFULLY you'll take something out of it.

to back up SkeptikZ, Kariudo, welcome to the forums, just be careful what you type.  There's a huge difference between liking "war" and liking little airsoft skirmishes and ops, and as a note you may want to stick with one of the names that don't imply rank of any kind.

Finally I registered. It only took me over a year to do this!

I'm old enough to be your Dad. I live in Tempe. I'm too busy workwise to do airsoft alot but my focus is (when I have time) to develop my skills as a soldier-citizen - and have fun doing it. I discovered airsoft a couple of years ago and I am still amazed. I also shoot real guns. A few months ago I took an Appleseed course put on by RWVA. I highly recommend it. It's the perfect opposite complement to CQC. I like the Combat! series of old TV shows.

Konichiwa. I have quite a bit of history when it comes to Airsoft and everything related. After maybe about six years of quitting Airsoft, I decided that I may want to start up again. Back then, Airsoft was fairly new. When it came to AEGs, Tokyo Mauri was the only company you could really buy from. They only had one small line of AEGs for sale and if you wanted to buy one, it was too damn expensive. I had to buy all my airsoft guns and equipment overseas, from RedWolf Airsoft. There were a couple websites that sold in the USA, but Redwolf Airsoft was much more reliable and offered more of a selection. The GBBs were more impressive then the AEGs at the time. It seemed as if people were just more interested with the GBB technology than the AEG. Gas blow back pistols offered much more variety, realism, and were much cheaper. I started off buying a Steyr AUG Military with all the standard batteries, chargers, and .20g BBs (I believe they were .20g, it's been a while..deal with me). Before purchasing the gun, I researched a lot into it first. I also made sure to let my friends know about the details of Airsoft and I figured they would invest in the sport with me, since we already had been playing Paintball for years and Airsoft seemed to be a superior alternative. With paintball you have to deal with the high prices of the paintballs, constantly having to refill your c02 tank, only having one decent place to play at which costs an arm and a leg to play for just four hours, and having to deal with the ref's and the rules. When I had my first paintball gun, I was young. All I remember was it was a Spyder paintball gun. They were great as your first paintball gun. Well, the rules at this paintball arena were that all custom guns had to be tested. You could not shoot above 280 feet per second. Of course my gun was shooting over that, and some guy that worked there took my gun apart and cut the spring in half. All I know is since then I could never get my gun to shoot accurately, nor could it shoot above 200fps. I tried talking to experienced players and going to paintball stores to replace the spring, yet nothing could get it working like it used to. All of the BS I had to go through with paintball turned me off.

After some time, I ended up creating a team with mostly personal friends of mine, but I also found a couple people locally that had guns and wanted to play. I eventually signed up for a local Arizona Airsoft League. I registered our team in and started talking to the other members. I'm sure there are people from this league that still play and are probably members or administrators on here. I attended about four local games and most of them were great, but I do remember some negative aspects. At the time, I was under 18 and so was my team. There were some good guys that treated the ones of us with respect that deserved it, but there were also some guys who would play into the egotistical, alpha-male role, and an overall attitude of us being nothing but an annoyance. Well it's been a long time, I'm 23 now, and hopefully things will be different.

Anyways, it cost about $450 to pay for my Steyr AUG, necessary equipment, and price for shipping. I also had it tuned up and upgraded at one of Redwolf airsoft's affiliates. I got some kind of power upgrade kit and got it back with a huge battery and shooting over 400fps. I also invested in a Steyr AUG Phantom Kit. It was a good looking gun, but there were a lot of issues with it. I know it wasn't just me either. In our team we had a person with an MP5SD5, MP5K PDW, G363, AK-47, and a couple others. Everyone ran into issues with their guns. I decided to invest in a GBB pistol at the time. Redwolf was offering a special deal on a Glock 18C with full metal slide and metal barrel with some interior upgrades. I don't remember which company made the gun, but I ended up selling it to a member in the Arizona airsoft league. If you are still around and you read this, contact me as I would like to talk to you again! I later purchased a used Tokyo Mauri M92F Custom Samurai Edge BioHazard 3 GBB, and I believe lost it during one of the local games. The Glock 18C was FAR superior in every way. The glock was NOT a Tokyo Mauri, that I am sure of. The name of the company was WSC or something similar to that.

I have noticed that Airsoft has improved greatly. Not only are there a wide variety of high quality guns offered, but the prices are much cheaper. Of course airsoft is way more popular now and the technology has improved. I'm seeing gas blowback M4s and AK-47s and full metal, upgraded AEGs with recoil engines... it's amazing. For about $400 I can get a metal AEG with multiple upgrades. There are full metal M92F's for $90! Obviously I am interested in starting up again and buying some nice guns and gear. A metal AEG, a metal M4 GBB rifle, and a metal GBB pistol sounds like a good line up to start off with!  :D

It will be a pleasure meeting you all!

Thats fine. But there is a difference in not careing what people think about you and Just being respectful. If he dosn't want to respect others ideas then why should I respect his? Anyway I am just calling it as I see it too. Lets all just be friends and play a good game of airsoft sometime soon.

Respect is earned not given.  For the record I have plenty of friends and I am not friendly.  I dont say anything here I wont say right to someone's face either.  Stay in your lane and you will earn the respect of others around here.  The best way to do that is post little, read much.

-_- you dont get the reference. Captain in the nickname does not mean i'm a captain again its a nickname of mine. not a rank. i'm pretty sure the fine line between friends calling someone Superman and that guy actually jumping out a window thinking he can fly is quite obvious.

Hello, this is my second post. I have a G&G GR-16 R5 and I'm getting an SIIS Desert Eagle, still don't know what gear to get and thats about it. And I have to agree with Kariudo, it's just a nickname i.e. on a little league team is someone was called Arod, they really weren't Alex Rodrigus , it's not meant to be taken seriously.

So yeah airsoft is fun, i just gota find a place to play so i dont get busted by the cops for playing at a park with some friends like i just did tonight.  If you know any places that are private property where its cheap and not far from chandler/tempe let me know thanks!

Heres a tip. Posting stupid useless information in dead or new topics was not only a dumb and obvious attempt to get rid of the status, but its also a good way to get your ass banned or knocked around. Some of us use the new post search, and actual enjoy reading intelligent responses. Now stop your bullshit. Torpedo delivered. Fix up your act and you could have a nice time here.

It's amazing that this forum doesn’t die because the way some members are talked to, "especially new members". There are a few VERY unhappy members here on AA that treat people like crap for NO reason. When I say unhappy, I mean unhappy with themselves so they take it out on others.

Wow...... love that intelligent response. I log on here at one in the morning, tired, just got back from school, and think ahhh... Airsoft Arizona  :)  Then I hit new post, and am like, wait.... I have seen these before... and they all have only had one thing added! Is it good? Relevant?? The succinct and wonderfully descriptive poetic verse: "try craigslist" Now apart from being a little tired, and quite a bit angry now, i didn't go and flame everyone of the useless posts. Here's the bottom line, If this is a one time deal, fine, like I said, whatever, but for the love of god don't keep doing it. I went batshit crazy last night (probably because it was 1) and tried to express my point. You can call me whatever you feel like, but this has got to stop. Also, to FireBert my man, look through my posts, never gonna find one where i posted ten, less then 3 line responses in one hour. I don't care if a person makes a mistake because they are new, just when they are new, and make 10 annoying mistakes. Whatever. Like I said, welcome to the forums, but please knock off the spam.

double  ](*,)
might as well use it.
I have never claimed not to be a noob in airsoft, hell we all are, there is always much much more to learn, just because I can break down a mechbox, doesn't mean I can cast a KWA slide or hand craft metal parts for my weapons, or make custom gear, there is always more to learn in the world. So am I still a Noob? Yep.
Also, to Nitro1 you have met me, and me you, and I am 100% happy with myself. :) I rarely if ever go negative on anyone on the these forums, and am often very supportive to people who need advice or a boost, both on AA and off. I just don't see the need to sugar coat my words to someone who isn't even willing to put forth the minimal effort needed to read the forum rules, and take all of five minutes to look around, before he realizes that what he is doing is probably a dumb idea. Whatever. Hope to see you on the field sometime.

to exarch.  Craigslist is sa very valid place to find airsoft gear.  search airsoft and you get like 70 hits.  and there was infact an m4a1 there for 125 dollars and they often do have a lot of bdu things.  If you want to inform someone not to just shoot off 10 posts there is a better way to do it.  yes i did do it to get rid of my noob status but they were all completely relevant and definately not useless.  treat others the way you wanted to be treated.  no one wants to come on to a forum and get their head chopped off.  And this forum is titled "new guys please read make your first posts here" and thats what i did and now your calling me stupid for doing it?  thats not very nice.  Being overly mean and unnecessarily rude is not the way to let someone know they are doing something wrong.  lighten up on people.  they are simply here because they love the sport, not to get yelled at by people.  So please, if you want to help do it positively and you might actually be surprised because it helps a heck of a lot more than being so incredibly negative

Wow...you really don't get it do you? Its not the fact that you think craigslist is a good site for airsoft purchases, its the fact that you deliberately resurrected 5 or so useless threads that were over a month old. THEY WERE DEAD. And adding one line of text is not going to be of great help. Its not even the fact you recommended craigslist, if you had explained why, in a useful paragraph, it still would have been resurrecting a pointless, useless thread, that and the fact you repeated it 4 or so times, the same monotonous useless two word block "try craigslist" NOT HELPFUL. I am done talking to you, you don't even understand why you messed up. Just accept it and move on, I was done with this about 3 days back. Just learn from it, and don't do it again. And don't you dare come up here and preach morales and quote stupid lines at me. you don't want people to snap at you? Don't do stupid things. simple. One mistake, ok, i'm nice, 2? maybe... 10?? come on...... maybe in time you will see why what you did was both dumb and highly annoying. Still feel you have been personally harmed by "dat big nasty internets? :(  Then Pm me, this is not the place for an argument for whatever point you see yourself having. To all the new guys in this thread above me, who haven't been bumping there post count or acting wired, welcome! I hope you have a good time, and find what you are looking for here.

It's amazing that this forum doesn’t die because the way some members are talked to, "especially new members". There are a few VERY unhappy members here on AA that treat people like crap for NO reason. When I say unhappy, I mean unhappy with themselves so they take it out on others.

well said, I feel very unwelcome as a noob.  Now I just enjoy trying to back up other noobs here and working with the one cool guy I've met!

A lot of new guys don't realize that when they post more than 3-4times in a quick secession their posts show up like a sore thumb when a board frequenter like me checks for new posts here:
search.php?search_id=newposts (http://www.airsoftarizona.com/forumbb/search.php?search_id=newposts)

Often new people don't understand basic forum etiquette and behavior, or are unfamiliar with this particular neighborhood of posters, often those behaviors are assumed by board frequenters. Accusations of spamming, necroposting, stupid question asking and stupid answer giving, are thrown around by people trying to show the new guy how to act in the community.

The more you post, the more you will draw attention from those viewing you with a critical eye. The "forum newbie" bar under your name has nothing to do with how you are treated. The content, manner, and frequency of your posts has everything to do with how you are treated.

Tread carefully for the first few posts. And it sounds like a broken record but read, read, read the boards and don't post. If you have a question send it in a PM to any of the old timers here, including me. I know personally almost everyone who has more than 800posts on this site and most will be more than happy to entertain questions regarding this site and airsoft in general.

Read the required reading, do the homework, reputations stick and not just on the internets, post with caution.

Hey Everyone!  I'm Nick, and obviously new here. I've been perusing the forums for a while now, and finally was able to get signed up and post.  I am new to airsoft although I have played paintball for a couple years, but my airsoft experience is pretty much limited to a few games at CQB AZ.  I have most of my own gear (still waiting on a new mask to be delivered)  and I am hoping to join a few matches when it arrives.

Hi everyone,
Been kinda lurking here for awhile, thought it was about time to register and say Hi! Name's Jason, I'm prior service Army with tours in Afghanistan and Iraq (though not a trigger puller.)

I've played paintball and a little bit of airsoft in Florida, but unfortunately got rid of all my gear before I moved here in '07.

Currently I live in Phoenix, but my fiance and I are planning on buying a house in the east valley sometime in the next couple of months, so my funds are a little limited. I'll probably start picking up gear piece by piece as I find good prices, rather than all in one go. Kinda have my eye on a CA M14, most of the reviews I've read seem favorable.

Anyway, it'll be a while until I'm 'combat ready,' just wanted to introduce myself to get a foot in the door.
Hope to see you soon!

I've been wanting to do real airsoft ever since I got my first wal mart spring pistol a few years ago for christmas. My friend Korean moon revealed he plays all the time and showed me his M249 SAW. He took me down to the gearbox and I got all the necessary clothes but I'm still in need of a rifle.

I've always been interested in the military and I love guns and don't even know why. Some days when I'm bored I'll learn everything I can about them on the Internet

I'm also a fan of the punisher (but most of the comics are terribly corny) and I'm planning on serving in the marines in the future

I wanted an XM8 but korean moon told me I would be the laughingstock of the game if I used one so now I'm opting for a G36k.

Finally, I love playing realistic shooters like rainbow six vegas and call of duty

I'm Jason or Dirtykorean or DK or Dirty I had been playing paintball for 19 years now but I've taken a break from it for a few years due to alot of BS and I am doing alot more Jeeping and Shooting real guns.  I need something that still has a rush and my friends and I bought spring pistols 9 years ago and played with those in a freinds huge backyard.

Now that most everyone has kids and stuff like that I'm looking for a group of people to join and show me somethings I may not know, so hope to meet some of you at future events and looking forward to having some fun and finding a new rush/ enjoyable pain

Post by: Nolo Contendre on June 18, 2009, 02:13:47 PM
Hey, so here it is, my obligatory first post in the appropriate thread. :)
And now for the vitals, see you around.

Name:  Mike
Primary weapon:  Tokyo Marui G3-SG1 535 FPS (Gorilla Gun), fully upgraded in and out, PSG-1 length barrel.
Overkill backup:  Classic Army MP5 435 FPS (Stinger), fully upgraded in and out, G3 length barrel.
Regular backup:  Tokyo Marui MP5 375 FPS (Sleeper), Internal upgrades, stock appearance
Loaner weapon:  Tokyo Marui MP5 275 FPS (Poser), minor mods, mostly stock.
Sidearm:  KWA G26C (Final Answer), of which there are four.  Definitely my favorite pistol, gas operated, accuracy you can count on, and full auto when necessary.
Friends: Not many
Likes:  Shooting other people, and other people shooting at me, but most of all, Power Skirmishes.
Dislikes:  People that get their lacey undies all wadded up for no reason whatsoever, and airsoft guns that remain stock.
Favorite things to shout at the enemy during night ops: You see that red dot! That's where it's gonna hurt!
Favorite place to put a round on the enemy: the finger tip or the finger nail.

Hello there, I'm new to AA but not to airsoft. Used to be part of EAC Airsoft until it went defunct and finally decided to join everyone else on Airsoft Arizona. Currently using a tokyo marui ak47 with a good deal of modifications, an echo 1 ak74u, and a KJW Ruger sniper. Hopefully I will be able to attend the game this Saturday and such.

(Btw sorry for not reading the description and not posting here first  :? )

My name is Danté and I've played airsoft for about a year with my friends but we haven't been able to play as much as I'd like to because of school and everything.  I'm 14 years old and I'm going to be a Sophomore at Hamilton High school.  I know I'm a little young to be a sophomore but that's because I skipped 3rd grade.  I love playing airsoft and i hope to get on my friends airsoft team.  I need to find a good gun around $300 new that can be used for a (small) outside field/ indoor CQB so the gun needs to be 300 fps. My friend said CA Full Metal Armalite M15A4 Carbine was a good gun for this because it has 300 fps.  I want to make sure I get a gun that'll last pretty long.  I've heard that Classic Army and Echo-1 are good.  I was currently deciding between the TM P90 with a built in red dot and the CA Full Metal Armalite M15A4 Carbine. Any suggestions please pm me.  Sorry for the long post.

Hi guys,

My name is Nick, I used to play paintball alot and loved it, but always craved a more military/tactical type of game. That was hard to push depending on who you were playing with, speedballers never liked getting flanked in the woods, they said that was cheating?.........anyway, I became a Police Officer, and quickly lost the time to go out and play, as you can imagine I was always working patrol. I had to take a break from work due to some chronic illnesses I came down with. Been battling it for years. As soon as I get better, I am interesting in joining up with this crowd and playing some airsoft!

My name is erik, i am in the military stationed in New Jersey right at the moment. I am soon hopefully going to be going to tuscon i was looking around on google for some airzona AS forums found this one thought id give it a shot. i am 22 ive played a few times here in jersey though not many times. I am an ex tourny paintball player i got tired of spending godly amounts of money on paint then moved here to jersey and got really tired of getting hit with cold paint in the winter so i finnaly said eff it. Got into airsoft in august of 2007 and really enjoyed it i owned a CA m15 CQB which was pretty decent and i regret selling it when i got hurt on the job so i went ahead and bought a JG bar 10 to shoot at squirls that run around my apartment, a dboys scar, and my favorite AEG that ive played with a TM m14 full size slowly becoming a DMR, but enough about that. I am really looking to move back soon and looking to get into the sport at home.

Hey me and my friends started airsofting a couple of years ago. We started paintballing but its too hard to set up places to go paintballing at the age of 12 so we jumped back into airsoft. We used just crappy spring pistols and .12 BBs lol. Now I am 14 and started getting into serious airsofting. I'm now looking for a nice AEG to war with. I'm looking for someplace to war besides arizona CQB. This looks awesome and I really liked the look of it.

Welcome to the forums.  
You will have to explain to me what this "to war with" stuff is...I never knew we had "wars" here. :lol:
It doesn't read correctly, sounds more like "Me go war people real good then me go home to Jane, ugg."  

For anyone who wants to know, grammar, spelling and general cohesiveness are all worth points.  8)

Hey everyone. Im new to these forums but not new to airsoft :-)
Ive been playing since I was 14, and just turned 21. I moved to arizona 2.5 years ago, and lost interest because all of my airsoft contacts were gone.
I was a team captain for team B.O.W.A "east coast team" and hosted some fairly medium sized games. When I moved to AZ, i got very into paintball, but never sold off all of my airsoft stock. Most of my Airsoft guns are broken, but I still have a very good working SG552 (tokyo Marui). Sorry for rambling, just want a proper intro :-)
Oh I live in chandler by the way, and have all the gear necesary to play and hope to play with you guys soon!

hey,
fairly new to sport, have messed around in backyard on and off for two years, but finally getting into it. Ive done most of my own research, just unsure about how to go about finding a team in Mesa/ Apache Junction area, and what experience is usually necessary. Also very interested in the CQB airsoft in Pheonix, just can't find much info about it.

Hi, my name is Michael, I live in California and have been airsofting for a 1 year. The very first airsoft gun I bought was a CA M15A4 M4 (Metal Sportline), 2nd gun CA SLR-105 AK-77 proline (sold it because I broke it),m 3rd gun KWA 9M GBB pistol, and final 4th gun KWA M4 S-System. I played my first airsoft game at Sequoia ( http://www.sequoiaairsoft.com/ (http://www.sequoiaairsoft.com/) ) mostly this where entry level airsoft player (pick up games) come in Northern California. It was ok place to play mostly charging and firing directly at opposing team. Second place I played at was Mike Force Airsoft ( http://www.mikeforceairsoft.org (http://www.mikeforceairsoft.org) ) this place is awesome full objective games or 2 objective in 5 hour game with 30 minute in lunch break, tactics and strategy are used and you in a small squad searching for the enemy team. Third place only played one was Jasper Hill also know as AKA LZ2 or EFRT field in San Jose, California. Jasper Hill being public land so there are not that many tree or bushes for cover fire or place to hide in airsoft game. Fourth place I play in is Fort Ord in Monterey, California which is handle by Roundhouse Productions ( http://www.cqbchallenge.com/ (http://www.cqbchallenge.com/) ) 2 or 3 objective game played in 6 or 7 hour game. Fort Ord is fun fun fun!!! The Fifth place I played at is Chilkoot Lake in California, which is 4 hour drive from San Francisco, ouch, but is fun with rockey terrian,  pine trees, and high elevation of mountains. Come to Northern California and play with us!!!

I started playing airsoft after a court mandated anger management class where I met my friend, Yaan.  My psychiatrist says it's a good outlet for me as the voices in my head speak a lot softer now.  I currently pose no danger to anyone as my voices speak to me in Portuguese.  I was honorably discharged after 4 years in the United States Army.

Hey my name is Steve, been playing off and on for about 3-4 years when i've had people to play with!!! I've played with some AA guys on several occasions at CQB AZ. Good stuff. Hopefully i'm trying to find the extra time and cash to get back in at least once a month playing... i do miss it and my friends i've played with. That's about all for now! I live over on the west side in good ol Buckeye so send me a message if you live out here and wanna play!

I have/use a TM MC-51 aeg, TM G17 springer and a TM G-Spec sniper (that i'm actually going to be listing to sell) but I'm a big fan of Marui, KSC and G&P (if i could afford them!) Hope to see everyone out in the field/building/whatever soon!

Hey everyone,
I'm new to airsoft, well about a year, I am the XO for Shadowviper. I have only played in a few games, but I have designed a couple of games with viper, and we are putting together a game for the last week of Sept-1st week of Oct. I have military and "other" training that gives me a tactical edge (I am passing the "other"training on to my teammates). We play on a really cool area, and we are one of the only teams to have full permission to play on the site. Come look at our posts on AA, and www.shadowviper.com (http://www.shadowviper.com). If you are looking for a team to join, we are looking for you. Thanks, hope to see you in the field.

I am pretty new to airsoft and I have actually only been in one airsoft war with a couple of friends using some cheapy springers (at a friends property, not at the park!).  From what I have experienced I LOVED it and I made a compulsive buy.  my cyma ak47, which I really don't like.  I have no military training what so ever and don't plan on being involved in the military.  I absolutely LOVE playing laser tag at stratum laser tag and have gotten quite good at it getting first or second most of the day.  I am interested in airsoft because I think its fun to shoot people!..  Actually I am interested in airsoft because it has some realism to it.  Where as playing laser tag you get hit and your are out for only 5 seconds and it doesn't hurt.  Where as airsoft you would normally want to play with more strategy then Ramboing a group of people, unless you think looking like you have chicken pocks is a good look.

I got into airsoft because my friends had a couple of dinker airsoft guns (when i was 9) and i thought they were cool so that's how i started. I have gone through a couple
of AEG's  ( I currently own a okay one) and I just got my first sniper rifle and camoflouge/equipment etc. I'm 14 and i was wondering how old you have to be to join a team? I live in the Gilbert/ Queen Creek area. Any respones would help thanks. :D

I accidently stumbled across this site looking for answers to some questions I had. I'm looking for people in the Yuma area to play airsoft with cause my friends are whiny complainers saying that 'its too hot outside to play.' HOPE to find and meet new people here.

i always played around with airsoft guns throughout mid-high school, never really had a good one of my own

but recently i played a bunch of little matches on a friends property... i always loved playing soldier (three years in jrotc) so i was pretty much hooked after the first 2 kills (lol..not used to using that in rl)


so i got a rifle, gonna start going to local games with a couple friends... lots of fun  :D




much like others, paintball is too expensive for me and i prefer being able to play airsoft virtually anywhere..

other than airsoft, im a huge gamer, jnerd, electronics junkie... i run infuziongaming, we started back in 07 and have been goin strong ever since! hit me up if you want to play, either online or rl  :)

Hey Us_Navy_Seal,
Good luck in your quest, check out the Seal training stuff on the military channel, amazing stuff. A friend of mine from BC went to Seal training, and said it was the hardest thing he had ever done, he didn't make it, but he said he wouldn't have missed it for the world.

Greetings,

My name is Taylor, I'm from Phoenix, and I'm coming back to the sport after a two year hiatus. My team and I used to just play locally and would find other groups in the area, but eventually we just got too busy with school and ran out of similarily geared people to play with. Now that we're all 18 and in College we'll be able to attend large scale games more freely, and the time has come to dust off my G36.

I've been around the block with all types of airsoft guns - I'm into law enforcement and have a future there, which is what brought me to the sport in the first place. I played for about three years in total back in the day, and made my way up to a very well upgraded CA36 which I have kept in storage. I have been in quite a few small scale games/skirmishes with between 6-20 people made up of local teams - including my own, DFA.

Well anyway, looking forward to getting out to some games with you guys and sharpening up my rusty shooting. See you on the field.

Nautic

To Whom it may concern,

My name is Rio and I was born and razed in Arizona. I've lived here now for fourteen years and have played a lot of sports. I first became interested in airsoft around the time when I was six or seven, when I got a mini-electric airsoft gun for Christmas. I loved the gun and fell in love with the sport. Since then I've played many times with friends and family using the AEG airsoft guns I have now. The best thing about this sport is that it tests your own limits to the point of where your sweating and are very tired. It's great exersize!

I'm now looking for more interested people in the sport to play with and gradually make a team.

Sincerely Rio

Hey everyone,
I moved to Arizona a few months ago to escape the high crime and over crowding of the east coast. I have been actually only in the "sport" of airsoft for a few months now, but I used the Systema guns for quite a few years in training for the government. I have been in various law enforcement, as well as "special forces" in the military. I am looking forward to playing in the vast open spaces of high desert, and maybe I'll be lucky enough to have contact with a few of the other players out there. Thanks,
Mr. Death

Hello I am Warren & my buddy is Arnold we have been playing airsoft for sometime and after a trip to CQB this weekend someone told us about this site so we figured we would make a screen name and introduce ourselves.

We had a solid group while we where in highschool but after that everyone moved on and did other things, So Team Voodoo was kind of done but after a long night of beers and discussion at the poker table we found our way to CQB and this site.

We look forward to any up coming games and people we may meet.

Hmmm a quick intro.
My name is Chris, I have been interested in getting into airsoft for years but never knew how to contact the community. Saw my friend had a spare steyr aug that he let me use this last weekend in a game with 7 friends. One of the funnest things I have ever done. Now I am looking for my own gun (G&G M14) and hope to play with all of you on weekend games. A little about me: I am 21, and a full time student at PVCC. Hobbies are skateboarding, photography, and PC shooters (cod4 mainly). My major is photojournalism and have 2 1/2 years of school left.
Looking forward to playing with all of you sometime.

Hi,

My name is John and I'm an alchoho...  Sorry, wrong forum.  A friend of mine finally got to me and I will be out this weekend for the game.  I am really looking forward to it.

A little about me: I'm a web/graphic designer.  Have been running my own business for the past 12 years.  Always looking to relieve some stress.  Did paintball about 10 years ago, but got busy.  I really like the idea of airsoft for a bit more for the realism.  I'm a gun nut too.  Originally a native Arizonan and am only now getting used to the heat. ;)

Thanks again!
John

Hello,

My name is Chris, I am 17 years old, live in Sierra Vista, and I have been playing Airsoft for 5 years now. I am the founder and webmaster for our newly formed organization called AZSAC (Arizona Strategic Airsoft Command). Our organization is much like Airsoft Arizona and Major League Airsoft since we’re dedicated to unite, grow, and promote Airsoft in Arizona, to create a better world for our great passion. I am an Airsoft enthusiast so I help out people with anything Airsoft. I have personally hosted 2 events in Sierra Vista which had the outcome of 40 people each.  I hope to join the U.S. Army Reserve and become Mechanized Infantry. I used to paintball before I went to Airsoft, now I plan to have a career in it. My current load outs are futuristic & modern with weapons of SRC Gen. 3 G36E2 (Now upgraded to a MG36, with a drum magazine, 9.6v, bipod, scope, and a sound amplifier) & secondary is a Cyma/Echo 1 AK47C. The other one is a Vietnam load out with a Classic Army M16a1 X series and after I choose what .45 I want, then yeah, a non-blowback, KJW hi-capa, or regular 1911. Glad to be aboard  [smilie=armata_pdt_01.gif]

Hey everyone, i am definetly a new comer to the whole airsoft thing, but i am very eager to learn. i recently purchased an AEG and am ready to get started but i am missing one thing.......a game to play in. i have a few friends who are also quite new at this and are all wondering where to play. if anyone knows of any games or anything airsoft related that i should check out i would be happy to hear about it. i am near the scottsdale area so not too much terrain to play on so i figure it will be a little bit of a hike to a game but im down. also i have absolutly no shooting experience expect for a few paintball games, so shooting, military, or any kind of advice would be helpful. Thanks! [smilie=armata_pdt_22.gif]

Welcome, Jeff.

I'd go with somewhere between .25g and .30g bb's.  .28g's are probably your best bet.

Hey Guys-

My name's Chris, but I've always gone by my last name, Reynolds.  I'm 29, a native of Arizona, and a 5 year veteran of the Navy.

I've been wanting to get into airsoft for a long time.  Shooting the "real thing" is getting old simply because it's so costly, not to mention limited to target shooting.  I dabbled in paintball a while ago, but for whatever reason didn't stick with it.  There's always been something more appealing to me with airsoft.  I guess it's because I had pellet guns as a kid.  

Right now I'm looking at AEGs and pistols and figuring out what route I want to take to start off with.  Luckily, when the time comes for me to buy, I'll have some room to play with money wise, so I can get something that I like and feels right.  I already have a lot of tactical and outdoor gear, so at least I'm not starting with absolutely nothing.

I'm really looking forward to playing wherever the games might be.  I especially love doing objective or scenario type games.  Airsoft and airsoft gaming is new to me, but I'm no stranger to the Arizona outdoors and firearms in general.  I'm expert qualified (well, it's been a few years) in the 9MM, the M14 Rifle and M16, so I don't plan on shooting myself in the eye or anything like that.   :)

I'm really glad this forum is available and I look forward to getting to know the airsoft folks in Arizona.

Thanks!

No, no Joeys or Kennys in my family.  Other than my old man, I'm the only Reynolds of my family here in AZ.

I checked out your Bully Dog website.  Lot of good information on it, especially on rules of play.

I'd like to try and make it out for your Nov. 7th game, at the very least just to meet everyone and see what's doing.

Hello,

My name is Sam. I'm new to AZ (moved from Idaho) and looking for interesting things to do. I've had my eye on airsoft for a couple years now quite intrigued by it and would like to attempt to become more involved. I've been doing my homework and am currently debating / bidding on some guns. I don't have any training per say in combat, but feel quite capable of any sort of play. I've been good at paintball the handful of times I've played and am a great shot with a real gun. Again I'm an airsoft virgin so I can't really say. It's nice to meet you all and hope to be able to make it out to some events soon!

Hey whats going on folks?  My name is Anthony, 23 years old and I'm employed at Fort Adobe Paintball.  I'm a Referee for the Airsoft games and also the Paintball games.

My nickname is either Tony, or Doc is what most people prefer.  I've done two tours of Iraq, and I am currently still enlisted in the Army National Guard as a Combat Medic, with the rank of SGT.

I'll be out there this Saturday at the field, I plan on making a BIG change to the Airsoft world for FAP.  I heard alot of complaints from Airsoft players about a certain staff member that has turned alot of our Airsoft players away.  
For those of you who know Logan, and the owner of FAP/APD, Matt.. they want me to take over Reffing games for Airsoft.  And I am up for the challenge.

So I hope I can get this message out to all those who want to come out and enjoy some great games.  

Thanks for the opportunity to letting me post here as well...

hey everybody
ex-paintball player!
last time i saw legit airsoft guns there were starting at $450 so i never thought about playing.
But then some of my family got into so I've been poking around.
Airsoft is what I wanted paintball to be.  Tactical and purposeful rather than just spreading a river of paint down the field.
Anyways....Total noob so sorry if I ask stupid questions.
I always try to use search bars!!!

Found AA through the magic of Google!!!

Hey all.

A Canadian here.
Got a place in El Mirage just outside Phoenix and thought since I have the opportunity to go to the place, why not stock a few hobbies there.

I'm part of an airsoft community in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.  Been with them for quite awhile.  Needless to say we have been really feeling the pinch up in Canada with the only available rifles/pistols that are legal; needing mandatory "smoked" lower recievers.
No orange flashiders thank god.

I'm a conductor on the Canadian National Railway, and usually like to fish, play volleyball, and shoot plastic death from time to time.
I'm also a heavy gear collector, no replica stuff on here.

Some items I have.
SPR/B
M4a1 Block 2
X-47 Sopmod
1911 MEU

I have created an entire kit based on several real life AFSOC shooters in a CCT group.
Have a complete MARSOC kit.
A OD DF-LCS kit, for some lazy greenside impression.
Currently working on a DA CAG with a HPC.

Basically, I'm really down for the milsim/minisim stuff.

Don't wanna start cluttering your threads with how and why, so I'll slowly integrate myself into the community.

I'm also fairly heavy into CQB action indoors, but alas our only indoor facility is for Lazer Taggerz.

FYI-I'm also know on ASC, Wannabe, and several other forums as "Beazer"

Title: Re: New Guys, Please Read! Make your first posts here!!
Post by: Beazer on November 18, 2009, 01:17:23 AM
Canadian Law now requires lower recievers that are "smoked", ie semi clear.  they don't look half bad at all but its just another hurdle really.
Nothing a little Krylon can't fix anyways.
This also applies to pistols now.
We cannot get suppressors, m203's, or any special weapon unless it has the smoked reciever.
Pretty much limited to KJW, G and G, CYMA shit, and the new stuff from SRC.

First time I played with the airsoft weapons I was hooked and got me my first spring M4 rifle. Played at Jericho Pendleton a couple of times when I visited friends in Fallbrook, I say I'm not an expert at it yet. I'm actually trying to find some airsoft players who would like to get out more than once every month. Well if anyone has any questions they would like to ask me you know where to find me, thanks all!

Hello,
I am a hard core airsofter. I was a team leader in Spokane for about 5 years. I moved to Elko, NV and it looks like I will be moving to Flagstaff at the end of Jan 2010. I also worked at precisionairsoft.net for a year or two off and on again as a airsoft gun repair/upgrade tech.
I was hoping there would be a team or two in Flagstaff in could do some pickup games with but it looks like airsoft is pretty strong in Arizona and that made my day. I am not former military but I trained with them alot at Spokane Airsoft's future soldier events ect.
I have a ton of loadouts from "future force" to Chinese PLA impresions.

Any events go down an hour or so from Flagstaff often?
Any teams in that area?

Thanks for your time guys, Travis.

Any events go down an hour or so from Flagstaff often?
Any teams in that area?

Thanks for your time guys, Travis.

welcome to AA.
i cant believe you played in Spokane! i played for team phoenix up there till i moved down here for school. what team did you lead up there?

Hey everyone,

I am a new airsofter. I have played off and on for 2 years with my friends just having mini wars in eachothers back yards or in the washes in our neighborhood. Anyways my previous gun i owned was a pretty upgraded MP5 that i've had for a while now. Just buying an Echo1 M4 RIS. I hope to become a good player and hopefully play for a team. I am almost 14 years old in 2 months so hopefully there will be enough events that will let me play.  :D

Hey man, welcome. Good luck with finding games for younger players. You'll probably be limited to the commercial games like MTT, CQBAZ, and DP until people get to know you... or at least you will most likely have to have a parent at the games you go to. :(    Sorry. Keep your head up and your nose clean, and people will notice the level of maturity you either do, or do not have... and treat you accordingly. Be ready to be treated like a lesser person for a while though... a lot of kids before you have implanted the idea that they aren't anything but poor sports who don't respect anything. I hope you aren't one of those.

Once again, welcome, enjoy!

Hello AA,

  Before I start boring you all to death I'd like you to know who is boring you. My real name is Jay and I live here in Phoenix Arizona. The reason I went with the username Sgt. Freak is because that's what my friends know me by on a few games I play online.

   This I think you guys will like this. Not only am I new to your forums but I am also a complete newb to airsoft. I've been interested in joining a airsoft group for quite some time now but never really knew where to look. Now that I have found AA I hope that my desire will be fulfilled.

  As a side note. I have no law enforcement or military training but I am willing to learn. But don't get the wrong idea. I don't have the training but I'm not stupid either.

Thank you
Sgt. Freak  [smilie=armata_pdt_01.gif]

Welcome, welcome. It's always nice to see someone who's willing to learn. (It's the most important quality in a nooblet IMO)
Enjoy yourself, if you have any questions, search the forum, especially the new player's guide, first, then ask away and you will be met head on with a wealth of knowledge and experience.

Don't get me wrong. In the real world a sniper puts as much on the line as any other soldier.

But when it comes to airsoft - any 3-year-old can be a sniper. I have the balls to get in the middle of the action and have my butt handed to me if that's what it comes to.

Hey guys, I'm Joe R. of Glendale. I found this website in hopes that i could get into the world of airsoft. I currently am not that aware of where all the airsoft hype is but i can't seem to find any events for 13 year olds to go to  ](*,) . Also, I own a Pulse R72 that is a beast barely used and has a nice little jolt in the shots i took. So, if anyone who is reading this right now I would love to know about airsoft events that invite minoritys.

-Thanks
-Joe

I more or less just started playing Airsoft. ITS AWSOME!!! I bought an ECHO 1 SCAR for my first gun. Very happy with it soo far. I got invited to play by a friend and ever since I have been hooked! Did play some paintball, but it wasnt realistic enough for me. I am a HUGE supporter of the military and the troops that serve in it! I unfortunatley was not allowed into the military due to a hearing impairment issue with my left ear. This gets me at least somewhat close... Happy to be here and I hope to make lots of friends and connections!

I am located in YUMA AZ!

Are any of the guns any good? That's quite a few for a 13 year old.
Welcome to the boards, you might want to hit up a couple decent games and make some contacts before you decide to start or join a team. It will make both easier.

Hey all,
My name is Jordan.  I've been to a few AA events with a few friends of mine but never got around to signing up on the forums XD.  I've been playing airsoft for around 7 or 8 years now and I'd like to think I'm a good player.  I've got no formal military training, outside of some marksmanship training, but I'm always down to learn new stuff. I usually use a TM m16 but I have been starting to use a VSR-10 more.

I try to go to as many games as I can, I basically am obsessed with airsoft  :D

Hey all, brand new to all of this.  My buddy showed me his M4 and I was like holy crap that's bad ass, so I started looking up airsoft guns and found that they have every gun made into an airsoft gun pretty much.  I was in the Navy and was on a VBSS team which is a ship boarding tactical team sort of like Seals but not as hardcore lol.

Hello Esteemed Members of the Board.

I'm Lee,  Just relocated here to Flagstaff.  Coming off active duty,  last station Fort Drum 1/22 Inf.  I'm veteran, and relocating to Flagstaff to work out at Camp Navajo.  Bought my first airsoft thru the net when i was in Iraq on my second tour for entertainment during off time.  I'm a trained sniper and would like to get into actually doing some games in a sniper role if possible.  Don't know of any crews here but would love to meet some people in my area.   I know Camp Navajo has been used for events in the past.  Any info or advice you guys can give would be great.

Hey everybody, I'm an airsoft player from Nebraska.  My name is Jackson, and so is my call name.

I have aspirations to be a great airsoft player, but as of yet I am pretty minimal.  I have done what I could with what little money I have.  I think I have a pretty decent collection for a college kid.  I will be moving to Arizona shortly and I hope that I can find the time and money to enjoy a good experience with you guys.  I fear that you guys may be more hardcore than the Nebraska folk, but then again, we have some hardcore players.  A G&G M4 should be good enough to at least put me in the action somewhat.  

I'm going to college for game design, so I'm a video game guy.  Perhaps I will be super cheap about it and just go to observe your games, if that's allowed.  I don't even have desert camo yet.

Also, I know whiskey.  I know he has something to do with AA but I have no idea as to what, or how.

Name is Chuck and I am coming out of Casa Grande.  I am a very experienced paintballer and just recently got into airsoft.  I currently own a full complement of guns and gear and I am looking to join up with regular games.  I am looking for Mil Sim and City CQB or anything to get balls flying down range.

  I know "The Pit" in Toltec very well.  I will not try to hide it or surprise anyone that invites me to their site as when I arrive I come with my 13 year old son and my 14 year old daughter both learning to play.  Might even bring my wife for the family picnic.  I have a few new players that I will bring with me that have their own gear that are looking for regular games with me.

  If you are looking for a crew of serious players to join your AO then please hit me up I will be registering with TAC as well to get my crew headed in the direction we need to be going.

  Again I am out of Casa Grande so we are looking for anything in the area of Toltec, Eloy, Casa Grande, Aura Valley, Tucson, Pheonix, Florence, Coolidge.  Any information is welcome at this time as we are looking for a game ASAP.

  Thanks gang and I look forward to seeing you in my sights.

hello, my real name is Orlando. I am 21 years of age.i was refereed here by a friend of mine at ASU and frankly i'm quit glad he did. i currently do no own any air soft guns but i do own a paintball gun. i did participate in a few paintball games in my home town of Nogales AZ. unfortunetaly since i moved here to phoenix i have quit paintball because i could not find any games( or i guess never could find friends to play with.) now 3 years later i have found air-soft and wish to participate in games near the phoenix Arizona area.

living location: east of mesa, between mesa and Apache junction south of the 60

i am interested in firearms and military tactics special sniping.  [smilie=armata_pdt_06.gif]

their several reasons why i want to start participating in in air-soft, meeting new friends, but the biggest reason is to lose weight. well other then exercising of course.

note: i'm sorry for my misspelling and bad grammar in this and future posts, its a curse i tell you.

Hello everyone, my name is Sean I'm 17 years old, and I live in the Tucson area but I'm in the Marana district. I am not new to Airsoft I have played a few games at the DP field and at other places, I also have set up a airsoft team called S.T.A.R.S (Special Tactics Advance Reconnaissance & Support) this is also going to be the teams account, but I will be on it most of the time. I currently own 2 AEG's a Scar and a M614 made by Echo 1  and one Socom Gear 1911 pistol (which I love).

 I like airsoft, Im more into the milsim area of airsoft but I can't find any games like that here close to Tucson, I don't mind traveling to other places in Arizona or out of state for that matter, I just like to play airsoft whenever I get the chance.

Oh and forgot to add; I'm not in the military but I do plan to join the Air Force after high school.

Hey all. I was searching for any new guys in the area that I met today. But, no luck, then I realized, "I never posted on here, and introduced myself" So, sorry about that everyone. Well, My real name Is Kevin. I've been airsofting for 6 years now, started in Hawaii, where I'm normally from. I was born and raised on the island of Oahu, and I hate it there. "I'm a Marine". I normally attend the Rebel Union games. If any questions, I would gladly answer in a PM.

I don't no where graham county is exactly, but as for big wars... sign up for the monthly wars MTT holds. You can also find where people in your area like to airsoft and find out a solution through them. But as for large wars, I suggest MTT. Their next event coming up is OP: West Wing.

You don't really have to wear anything, literally. But the recommended attire would be Cammies. But alot of airsofters also like to wear vests. The only required attire, is eye pro. Make sure you have some good eye protection.

Good to have ya. Hope you get what you're looking for. Where's your location? Maybe I can sell you my Para Ordnance, it's gas blow back, plastic slide, just needs a new hammer, which you can get from gearbox for a good price. Just too far for me to really go.

Well I Live in Chandler, work in Scottsdale, family lives in Glendale, and a good friend lives in Peoria as well so even if I don't buying your airsoft gun I would be more than willing to drive to the gearbox for you as it is on my way to and from work. It is a bit sad to see how hostile these forums have become but I guess it really makes no difference. Anyways, I appreciate your warm welcome though.

Hello

Well my name is Sean, I started getting into airsoft at the age of 12 when I bought a spring 1911 pistol at a market in Peru, it was cheap but me and my cousin started shooting each other dumb as me and hime were, we had no eye protection, and I got hit above the eye, lucky me, I guess.

well thats it. I hope to attend games hosted by you guys, so it should be fun.

Hello, my name is Anthony. I recently fell in love with airsoft after having a battle with my cousin. My last battle was at my friend's house during a birthday party. I have 3 guns in my arsenal so far. The Stinger R34, shoots 300 fps and is spring-powered with four sided rails. I have the 1911 Colt airsoft pistol that is also spring powered, four rails, but only shoots 125 fps. My thrid gun is the M70, a battery powered airsoft gun that shoots 175 fps.

I have been airsofting since I was about 10 years old. I have been an avid airsofter ever since. Now I am 17 and have created a team by the name of VTT. We are new and would like all the practice we can get. We will scrimmage any team that would like to play. We have experience in desert, cqb, and urban. We are most experienced in urban, but anything works. I found out about this website just from looking for local airsoft games. If you are interested in trying out for the team or would like to have a skirmish, just email me at booloop@hotmail.com

Hello my name is Kyle and I am addicted to airsofting.  I have been into airsoft for about a year and a half now.  Couple friends invited me to a little game and was immediately hooked.  I own an Echo1 steyr aug and an UTG M3 Shotgun.  I mostly played with friends for a while but we kind of fell out of it.  I'm trying to get back into it and came across this site.  This looks like the perfect place to feed my airsoft addiction

I have no actual military experience but I was in NJROTC for all four years of high school.  Not really like the real thing of course but I suppose its something.  I look forward to playing a ton of games and getting lit up by all you fools

I'm 100% new to Airsoft.

I was cleaning out my garage last weekend when I found my old paintball gear. I went searching online, looking to pick up the sport again, when I stumbled upon Airsoft/milsims--which is right up my alley (and from videos, seems a lot more fun). I'm slowly building up my gear, which isn't cheap, but I hope to get outdoors soon. In fact, I just purchased my first AEG on Ebay yesterday, and it should be here sometime next week. (I'll post pics and you can tell me if I got a good deal.)

I'm sure you'll see me around here asking a bunch of noob questions. Cheers.

Sorry, I didn't post here first.  I created a topic that somewhat introduced myself.  Well, I am 22 years-old.  I am from the Catskill Mountain region of New York.  I am moving out to Jacob Lake, AZ for the next 4-5 months to work as a Forest Ranger in the Kaibab National Forest.  Since I am leaving behind my team, RIP Van Winkle, in New York I was hoping to find players that may be nearby to where I am staying.  I don't want to go the entire summer without playing airsoft.  Please let me know if anyone plays nearby.  Back in New York my team plays big games with a nationwide airsoft group, called Filforce, as well as holding our own skirmishes.  My current gun is the Stag Arms Full Metal M4.

I am 19 years old and have owned echo, kwa, classic army, cyma, and much more with a total of 29 guns in my possesion, mostly being AEG's with a few other exectpions. This website is nicely done with detail but being simple at the same time, glad to be a part of this website supporting airsofting in general, looking forward to seeing my enemies fall in great numbers on the battlefield, later everyone.

Hi I have been airsofting for about four years now, and I am in an all teenage airsoft team in Casa Grande called the Tumbleweeds.  I started out with spring guns and started doing more serious airsofting and getting better airsoft guns about a year and a half ago.

Hi, I joined this website because I used to play with my friends, but we were not playing enough games. I searched "airsoft in arizona" and this website came up. I am 13 (almost 14) and I have a Classic Army M14 Match, a UTG AK-47, and I have a USP gas non-blowback pistol. For my AK-47 I have a 2500 round drum, and it is fun to shoot :D .

Alright, here's my first post.

Name: Chandler
Age: 15
Location: Goodyear
Team: Hell Hounds
Weapon: Echo1 M14

Experience: I know how to drive an M1 Abrams. I don't know if it counts for anything, but I thought I would mention it.

I've only been playing airsoft for a couple months now, so I don't have a lot of experience. I'm currently part of team Hell Hounds, located in Goodyear. I've mostly just played simple skirmishes out in the desert, and have yet to play in any real games. I only own an Echo1 M14 (full length). I am slowly working on a collection of gear, which doesn't have much in it yet. I love airsoft though, and am planning on playing it for years to come.

Hey ya'll. I'm a 21 year old Ex-Military but still a Marine that is moving down to Arizona from this moldy smelly vagina of a state named "Oregon".

I did a lot of airsofting up here. Mainly military operations and some skirmishes with fellow Marines and random airsoft players. I really hope to get to know some folks before I head on down there so once I do get down there, I'd have some folks with similar interests to talk to and hang out with.

There's a bit more info on my profile about me, but not too much.

While I was living up here in Hippie Haven Oregon, I ran an unofficial business from my apartment which I basically repaired, installed upgrades and custom painted airsoft guns and gear. It is very likely that I will be doing that again.

Hope to hear from some of ya'll and I am really looking forward to being active in this once I am down there by the end of this month. I am looking for a team to be a part of, or better yet, a JOB working in this line of work.

Hello forum! I am 17 years old, I live in AZ and I'm glad to have a community (even an online one at that) to talk about airsoft with. My current primary is an Echo 1 M4A1 Carbine, and I know a pretty good deal about AEGs and a lot about springers. I am member of a newly formed but quickly growing airsoft group known as MFD, which stands for Marine Force Delta. I'm always looking for new places and people to airsoft at/with!

My looking to get a airsoft rile but I am debating between an Classic Army or ICS M4 AEG or a WE, KJW or KWA GBB M4.

Hey everyone, I’m Chris and technically I’m not new. I had two accounts on here, but I never kept up on them so here I am. I’m no noob when it comes to Airsoft. I’ve been playing it for 5 years and, used to be a Paintballer for a year before I started playing Airsoft. I’ve even set up my own Airsoft business (didn’t work out) and now I’m helping Sierra Vista Airsoft by moderating their YouTube and posting videos of games in the Area. As I said earlier I am experienced in Airsoft and hope one day to have a carrier in it. I know how to disassembly and shim any AEG, I have been to and set up events and tournaments, and I own 8 AEG’s with enough gear and clothing to make a fully uniformed 12 man team. I would like to think that I know a lot about Airsoft, since all my experience and I keep up on most of the Airsoft news that it be from, ASGI, Evike, Ontargetairsoft, Major League Airsoft, CrazyNCman, countless YouTube Airsofters, Spartan Imports, etc. I live in Sierra Vista and just recently turned 18 in April and soon will be apply for a grant to build a CQB/outdoor Airsoft field in my town. I am a pretty calm person who has a passion for this sport and always wants to help anybody with any questions about the sport.

I found this site looking for an airsoft 'team' in Tucson. I've started a team here and have around 10 guys so far. I figured this would be a good place to ask around. If your on a team in the Tucson area, I'd like to know where you airsoft. We airsoft at Disruptive Paintball and Airsoft fields.

I have an upgraded Well MB01 (L96). upgrades are
UTG piston, spring, and spring guide upgrade set.
Madbull 6.01mm AEG type tightbore barrel
Guarder 70% AEG bucking
PDI Type 96 Hop Up
plus a duct tape mod i did to make the barrel spacers tighter.

I've only been to one 'actual' airsoft match at disruptive. But in the deserts behind my friends' and I's houses we have many battles.

I use .28g bb's in my rifle currently.

I have a Ruger P345 CO2 Non-Blowback. It shoots 380 F/S. But I use .28g. I'd rather it be accurate than powerful.

Aloha! I've actually been in the airsoft scene for a while now. Just recently got a new gun after having been out for a bit. I'm especially excited for airsoft this year and will be playing a little this summer (will be attending the four peaks game on the 10th), but i can't wait until it cools down. I'm a Phoenician myself and I must say it is beautiful airsoft weather as we get into Fall. Anyways, I look forward to seeing all of you on the field sometime.! Thanks,

Spicoli

P.S. Spicoli is not my real name, but thats what I'll be going by here on the forums and the field. Thanks again!

I have been interested in airsoft for almost a year now, but got more serious about it about 6 months ago. My cousin and I are having a blast with it and are always looking for people to play with when work schedules permit. I was introduced to this site by "hendersen" here on the forum when he was interested in buying a GBB Scar of mine. I currently have three guns of my own, a VFC Scar-H, G&G M4, and a KWA KP45 Match. I am having lots of fun with this sport and look forward to lots more.

Hi I live in Surprise and have only been in Airsoft for about 4 months. I bought a paintball gun setup about 5-6 years ago and only played about a half dozen times. Since then it has been sitting in my closet. Look new and basically is. Would love to trade it for airsoft stuff....Anyways, I have always wanted to get into an organized type association, so I finally got into airsoft after all this time. I love the sport so far. I began going out into the woods and playing and have just started getting to designated playing fields. I'm still a fan of the woods though..I am an avid camoflauge fan. That is one reason I love the sport so much, the many different variables of the game. The shear stealth and blending in is half the fun. I definitely should have spent more time in the sport before spending the money I did. I spent money on stuff I 'thought' I would need and what would 'look' cool. I own 6 guns and have only played about 15 times.....LOL

Nice meetin everyone.....
I am a landscaper so if anyone needs that type of work done let me know.......

Nice to have you, invite your buddies to join this site. As for some websites, there's probably millions of airsoft websites. Some big ones are, Redwolfairsoft.com - airsoftgi.com - evike.com as well as some minor ones, airsplat.com - shortyusa.com - rsov.com - khmountain.com

The big ones, can be costly, due to having some name brands. The minor's, just come cheap sites. Welcome to Airsoftarizona!

My real name is Joel Steiger and I have been involved in airsoft since the 7th grade. Up until recently I have been able to get a few games going every year, however, now that I'm going to NAU, I thought the best chance for me to get into future games was by joining groups such as AA. Other than that, I have an upgraded vsr-10 g-spec as my primary and a gas wg 1911 secondary. I would like to train to be a scout sniper... so if anyone has a team and would be willing to aid in my training, I would be more than happy to learn.

I have been airsofting for about 6yrs now and have only loved it more and more as I play. I have already been to many maruaders games, a vanguard game, and hosted quite a few games. I am on a team currently but we dont usually get very many games as a team, but me and a few of my friends have gotten pretty good. We are up for any game type or challenge so hit me up for games.

Hey, my real name is Bryce. I've been into airsoft for a few years now, playing with friends whenever and wherever wouldn't get the cops called on us. We just got into organized games and we've been to a few already.  Just got on the forum to find more games, people and cool stuff.

Hey, I'm Brian. I honestly never thought I could get into airsoft or paintball or anything of the sort haha...just never struck me as something I could do. But then, I was over at a friend and fellow airsofter's house one night and he had his gun in pieces all over the table. Another friend proceeded to explain to me how everything worked and from then on, I was hooked! I've only been to a few games at cowtown and don't currently have a gun, but I plan to by the time it cools off around here. Once I have a decent AEG, I'll be part of a team, and no doubt will be airsofting more and more. So once again, hi to everyone and I hope to see you on the field!

Hello AirSofters,
My name is Gary and my call-sign is Heinous. I am a member of Waco's FAST team and have played on many teams across this great country of ours and in Europe for 10+ years. I am also currently the Field Repair Tech for the Temple Airsoft Field and Store. Before discovering Airsoft I spent a total of 13 years in the Special Forces and have worked all types of security as a civilian. I am currently a civil service contractor on aircraft at L3 Waco. Although I'm 50 years old, I stay very active in airsoft and Triathlon events. My load-outs are: 1. US 101st ABN WWII Thompson and Colt 45 w/helmet, 2. Vietnam Tiger Stripe SEAL sniper M14 & Colt 45, 3. Modern CQB SpecOps MarPat Sig SEALS/AK Spetsnaz & Colt RailConcept 45, 4. (MilSim) SpecOps- MarPat/Woodlands/DCU/Blackout- Scar GBB or M4RIS-SA & HK USP, 5. DOD contractor- CIA Polo /Black gear/blue jeans w/ any or all of the aforementioned weapons. I am an avid player and look forward to enjoying some ops with all of you. I hope to be home in Arizona this Christmas time and am logging on here to keep up with your events. If anyone is traveling thru Texas and needs some trigger time, hit me up and I'll make sure you catch an op or skirmish.

FINALLY- It's good to be back! Back in AZ for a while, living in Gilbert and gonna catch some skirmishes ASAP!

Im in the north valley of phoenix and im an ex paintballer. The sport got to be expensive,fun but expensive. Id like to say im a natural at pursuit games. I havent played airsoft yet but im sure itll be a smooth transition. Im looking to get involved with a team out here and find good places to play. so open to suggestions.

I have a good starter gun Combat Machine M4A1 blowback semi-full auto, With 1 450 rd mag and a mid size mag not sure on how much that holds though. It shoots 330 fps now but I want to put a spring in it to shoot 390-400 fps.

We run the games there so as long as we are not at another event there will be a game. We try to have games every weekend. They cost $10 and that gets you about 10 hours of play.

If you can go, then go ahead and post up in the thread for the game. Also, if your buddy needs to use a gun, you can also try to mention that in the game thread and someone with a spare gun that doesn't mind loaning it out might be feeling generous that day. Just a thought, it has worked out before. At any rate, welcome to AA and hope to see you out at Cowtown this weekend, I should be there.

Здравствуйте! (Hello!)

My name is Omar.  I have been playing Airsoft since May 2010 in Colorado Springs, CO, and will be moving to Tucson next week.  No military experience, but in the process of joining the Army.  Generally I do a contractor impression, but try to keep to the Russian when I can.  

Most of my experience is indoor locations/CQB (DMZ Airsoft - http://dmzairsoft.ning.com/ (http://dmzairsoft.ning.com/) ), but I have a limited amount of outdoor experience.  

Just looking to see what sort of activities are happening in Arizona while I am there.

Hello there, I decided to join this community in response to an eye catching ad on one of the community boards at the library at my local community college. I have been an airsoft enthusiast ever since my brother brought home a TM Sig 552. I tried to convince my friends to get into it in middle-high school but they wanted paintball so we played woods ball instead.  I’ve lived in Prescott and Flagstaff and I now reside happily in Yuma. I’m an athletic nerd with no military experience.

Back to the ad in question though, I’m trying to find more info on airsoft groups/clubs/teams in Yuma. The number on the flyer was a few digits short and I never got a response. The flyer was for the Full Metal Airsoft Team in Yuma.

Hello!  My name is John O.  I'm new to airsoft having purchased my first AEG two weeks ago.  I was born and raised in Phoenix, AZ.... but I have been living in Buffalo, New York since August 14th 2004.  I figured I'd join the forums anyways because I family is in Phoenix and would love to partake in a skirmish in the desert.

Hello there, I decided to join this community in response to an eye catching ad on one of the community boards at the library at my local community college. I have been an airsoft enthusiast ever since my brother brought home a TM Sig 552. I tried to convince my friends to get into it in middle-high school but they wanted paintball so we played woods ball instead.  I’ve lived in Prescott and Flagstaff and I now reside happily in Yuma. I’m an athletic nerd with no military experience.

Back to the ad in question though, I’m trying to find more info on airsoft groups/clubs/teams in Yuma. The number on the flyer was a few digits short and I never got a response. The flyer was for the Full Metal Airsoft Team in Yuma.

Hey there Clay, That flyer belongs to a member of the AA forum called Steelclan.  He is usually the most active player here in Yuma. If you want go to the VFW this saturday at 0800, I plan on playing a few skirmishes then.  You can meet a few of the local players.

Hey there everyone, I had played Paintball for almost 6 years, then got out of it and haven't played anything since, that has probably been about 3 years or so. I decided to get into airsoft because it seems way cheaper and less messy. Plus I found out there was a indoor airsoft field not to far from me. So looking forward to seeing and playing some good games with the community here.

Hey my names mike and Im looking into buying a shorter outer barrel for my Echo 1 ak47, and i just wanted to know if anyone knows if the  PDI AK-47 Short Outer Barrel (on airsoft atlanta) will fit on my AK. What I want to do is get a shorter barrel and maybe even take off the gas tube and replace all that with a long enough flash hider/mock silencer that will cover the outer barrel thanks alot.

Hi im Mike. Im 15 i started playing airsoft 3 years ago. My first gun which i still have is an Echo 1 stag 15, and I now also own a A&K draganov, Echo 1 AK 47, and Western Arms all metal perfect M9. I bought all my guns with my own money except the Draganov (got a 94 gpa freshmen year). I live in new york and i play atleast once a month. Some accerories that i have for my guns are a drum mag for the Ak 47, Acog, and for the m4 i have a red dot. Im going to be getting a scope and side mount for my draganov. I know how to open up gear boxes and put them together but im not familiar with the names of parts, and this is probably the first year that ive really been looking into upgrades.

Hello from Flagstaff, my name is Michael. I am very interested in learning more about Airsoft games. I have no military or law enforcement history. I was raised around guns my entire life. My dad is retired Border Patrol and former Army infantry. I'm just starting my AS gun collection. I would like info on any and all games in Northern Arizona. If I have to go south too , I will. As my handle implies, I'm 47 and a Critical care nurse. Looking forward to making some new friends and learning all things Airsoft. :P

Hello! Im not a big forum person but i do occasionally lurk in the wanted, sale, and events listings
ive been airsofting for 3 years first gun was a 1911 blow back i dont remember what it was a gift. Ended up with a ICS Ak-47, a friends low grade mp5 and some g36 lookin thing.

completely new to the sport.  I have gone to a couple airsoft places (just one in AZ), and I really enjoy it.  I was a good deal older than anyone else playing, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.  I wanted to go to the BHD event, but I was actually in CA at Mr. Paintball with my family (got my brother and two sisters into the sport). I would like to find opportunities to play, I am just very newand I am not aware of how these things are put together and the membership/participation requirements.

Hi everybody, I first got into airsoft when I was 12, I loved it, my dad was in the army and I want to be too. Airsoft is a safe and fun simulation of combat and I enjoy having wars with my friends. By the way I have quite a bit of experience and I"m a pretty good shot. My specialty is in sniping.  I was also wondering what this site was exacally, can somone tell me so I can get a better understanding of things? Thank you!

Hi! My name is Sean! My first airsoft gun was a springer that my girlfriend bought me back in 6th grade (4 years ago), against my parents wishes. I believe it was a clear P99. Since then i have bought a JG m16a2, which was my first real airsoft gun, and after that, i bought a boneyard classic army m1514 sportline carbine off of the boneyard of ASGI. Surprisingly, it worked when i received it! so i fixed it up a little bit, and sold it, i then purchased a WE G39c, which i am currently trying to sell (check the Classifieds for more info :) ) In order to procure some sort of GBB m4 (agm, king arms, etc) I am on a team, but we arent major league or anything haha. Its nice to be a part of airsoft az!

Hi my name is Cody and i own 3 airsoft guns and 1 REAL airsoft gun. The 3 guns are spring (a mossberg 500, a colt 1911, and a colt 25) and the 1 real airsoft gun is a full metal and wood AEG (realsword type 56 Chinese assault rifle) that is modeled after the real type 56 AK 47 that was used in 1965. I have no military experience yet (except for my dad, who is a former marine.) I have wanted to participate in airsoft activities since the 6th grade, but the first airsoft gun that i got was the colt 1911 when i was starting the 7th grade. I have only done 2 airsoft games so far, but they've been several hours long, which was FUN!!!!!!!!!

I'm Andrew, 16, fairly knowledgeable when it comes to airsoft (and real guns, planes, ect), just got a good gun (my old one died).

Never been to a match or anything

I've only been shot by a 360fps using .25g, so I have a good idea of where my pain tolerance is at

No training/experience whatsoever.  However, I'm pretty fit (on the swim team) and I can think on my feet.

Hey, the names Stephen, I currently live in Lincoln, NE. I'm 16, and the second I turn 18, I will be coming your way to attend the U of A or another school down there. I got into airsoft after an introduction from my brother. I will be making a trip down there in June probably and will see if I can get to a game while I'm visiting schools in the area. Can't wait to live some where warmer.

'Sup?

I'm 19, and studying Aeronautical Science (pilot training) at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in beautiful Prescott. I'm also a cadet in Army ROTC.

I started Airsoft when a friend invited me over for his Birthday party 2 years ago and we played - I instantly loved it, but couldn't ever afford nice equipment - until this year when the Army started paying me. Now I have a couple mid-range guns and a BEAUTIFUL (if not exactly effective) full ACU loadout. I'm the guy who's most likely to either flank all the way behind the enemy and get hit by friendly fire, lay prone and not fire a shot the whole game (or, as happened once on a particularly open field, the entire afternoon), or sit out the round to take pictures. But it's all fun.  8)

And when I get a truck, we can all shoot at it.

Hello all..

Mike here, I've been to one game at fuji so far. 7 years LE/Corrections experience. No military myself, but I come from a big military family. I got into airsoft after talking with some guys at work. If you were at fuji on April 30th let me know who you are, I had a blast!

Hello.  My name is Omar.  Had another account on here, but I cant seem to find it... so guess I get to do it all over again.  Moved to Tucson from Colorado Springs last November.  Been in airsoft over a year now, but its been a busy year.  Currently playing at Toxic Airsoft in Tucson.  I prefer playing with GBB pistols to AEG's, but that all depends on the game.  

Considering starting a team of 'contractors' with a specific theme.  I also do some work on gas guns on the side.

Greetings all, from your neighbour to the north!

My name is Trevor and I am a 30-something yr old airsofter from Edmonton Alberta Canada. Came across your site when I was researching airsoft in Arizona, as the wife's family has some property down there. Anyways, a few threads on here grabbed my attention, so I made an account.

Been playing airsoft (mostly milsim) since the late 90s (Yea, I'm old) and have owned a few different makes and models.

Hope I can contribute something to the chatter and looking forward to sharing war stories with you guys!

Cheers.

Still new to the forum, so I wanted to get some pictures out to show and give an idea of what I'm using.

This is my baby. Ugly isn't she? Haha. She's crapped out on me a few times, but within minutes I've always been able to get it working good as new again... Well... except for the first time I used it. I had to get it fixed and had to use some crappy rental. BUT BESIDES THAT! She's amazing.
(http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/652/dscn0056o.jpg) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/90/dscn0056o.jpg/)
Its a CYMA Ak74 Mdl:047. Came new in the box, but I then tore apart my old Classic Army and used all the spair parts to build onto this thing. Gas block, lower handguard, pistol grip, front iron sight, flash hider, and fake cleaning rod are all CA. The rest is CYMA.

I use it to play at Vanguard, so the spring is dumbed down to shot around 310FPS, but it can still go up to 350FPS with enough tinkering.

And yes, it looks like a piece of shit for a reason. Excuse my language, but that's the best way to describe it. I was going for a look that made the rifle look as if it was built over time out of spare parts from other rifles (kinda is) So nothing really matchs. All it needs to do is shoot. Doesn't have any reason to look pretty. Although, when I start going to more airsoft games with FPS's that can be higher, I plan on picking up a new AK 74. And yes, it will be another CYMA. So don't try and sway my choice. I already know what I am going to get. Don't try and point me towards VFC, I am not paying $400 for something that's made of steel that doesn't even shoot live ammunition.

Anyways, here's my closet of all the gear I have so far. Not much. But its nice.

Not all my gear is in these pictures. Some of it is in the wash from today. And some of it is just out to the side of pictures.

I'm 25 paintballed once, only airsoft I've touched is the pistol my dad bought to shoot pigeons out of his back yard. Was referred by a group of friends, and my wife gave me permission to get me some gear (yes!). In the winter we will be heading up north to go out in the woods, and durring the winter we are going to head to our friends' abandoned four-story hotel/restraunt. Hoping for a Real-Life Call of Duty experience and to get out of the house with some guys. I don't know anything about the gear and will be needing an Airsoft 101 crash course. Any suggestions?

First dont go crazy buying stuff.
Just get a AEG rifle and one high cap mag.
look in the sales forum, might find a good deal.
DOnt even buy a vest, or mag holders.
You dont even need BDU's.  I see guys wear street clothes all the time.
Allied surplus sells used BDU's at about half the price of new.
A mask is a must, sealed eye protection is manditory on most fields.
I have a full mask to protect my teeth, If you get shot in the teeth they will break.

One and only good rule, call your hits.  Game is not much fun, when you got two supermen running around, acting like they never get hit.

Just get out and play.

There are a few fields,
1.  Fightertown (5 fields, 1 huge, swat house, and more) Love it
2.  Fort Adobe (1 large open fields, and 1 team death match field) Like it
3.  Vanguard (mostly for little kids)(small warehouse) Never go again

Hey everyone I'm Jared "Persian" I'm 23
Just moved down to Mesa from Northern Utah and now i'm looking for a team to play on.
I've been playing off and on for about 4 years, and then the past 8 months I got on a good team (CVAirsoft.com) and played every week all over northern Utah.
Depending on the field I will run one of 3 guns, Sniper (fully upgraded Socom R700 w/.36), Assault KWA RIS M4 (upgraded barrel and Bucking, w/.23s), Or CQB TM Aug (w/.20s),  I'm also a convert to Multi-Cam and will never go back lol :D

I'm looking for a team that likes to play well and often and has fun. I'm willing to travel on weekends to games.
So hit me up and it'll be great playing again.

Were you a part of the Airsoft Pacific forums while you were up there? Anyway don't fuss over gear/BDU color, they really are just used to identify teams (i.e. green vs tan). If you feel the need to regear though I believe Coyote Tan/Brown is the color du jour around here.

Hi.

My name is Lee. I have 2 boys ages 9 and 13. We are just getting into airsoft seriously. After some disappointing experiences with walmart and big 5 guns we finally stepped up and bought a G&G GR15 Raider and a CYMA AK 47. They are both used off ebay with some extras. So far so good. We live in northeast Az. near show Low. I would love to come down for some games but it will have to wait till it cools down a little down there ;)

Hi all,

My name is Eric. I'm a 19-year-old electrical engineering sophomore at the U of A. I've been playing non-competitive airsoft since I was a freshman in high school. I have yet to play an official game on a field. I'm not on a team but I would be interested in looking into joining one if there are any needs.

I looked up your website ToxicAS, the field looks good. I'm the kind of guy that loves realism, so I was wondering if your field has things like bunkers, trenches, etc. I couldn't tell from the pictures.

Hi guys,

I'm Alex and I've been airsofting since high school. I loved airsofting ever since I started playing it but, most of the time, my friends and I could never get more then 8 people to play with us so I was never that involved in it. The last time I played was spring this year and, since all I concentrate on are my classes, I want to get more involved in airsofting. So maybe you'll see me on the field sooner or later.

Thanks for having me here.

Sup all.
The name's Colin.
I'm 19 and I go to U of A, so I'm living in Tucson. My parents live in Fountain Hills (east valley), so I'm down there quite a bit.
Been airsofting off and on for probably 5 years. I'm trying to get back into it seriously now. I have some buds in Fountain Hills and we have somewhat of a ragtag team, and three of us are at UA.

So about me: I'm a huge gun nut. Gearhead. Musician.

My gear:
CM041 mp-5... some custom stuff done
KJW 1911 hi-cappa 5.1

So wazzup all! I'm probably going to czech out Toxic down here in Tucson sometime this year once I get my mp5 up and running.

Hi there. I've had my eye on this Airsoft madness for awhile. I'm picking up some gear and hope to be out there participating soon. I had some good times with paintball way back, but this looks even more fun. So far, I have some decent eye/face protection and an Echo1 AK along with some camo odds and ends - all mismatched, of course!

I live in Phoenix. I got into Airsoft in Michigan, but didnt play much. Still pretty new to the sport. I went to the Nov 12th MTT Black Hawk Down event. It was  blast and I was told this is a good site. Never been in the service, but I have always been into anything to do with the military. I have a decent starter rifle, and gear. I am down for most game's, but I like milsim the most.

Greetings, Airsoft-Operators!!

I've been playing airsoft for about a year now, but I might be moving to Arizona from California within the next 3 months, so I'm trying to find out where in Arizona is best for airsoft. I'm currenly aiming towards Phoenix, but I'm not 100% sure yet. 

As for myself. I have 14 years of Naval service as a Master at Arms(Military Police) so I really enjoy the cqb aspect of airsoft, although I also enjoy being out on the field as well. I'm currently in the hiring process for the Border Patrol which is the reason I'm moving to Arizona.

But if anyone can help me with finding good airsoft spots in Arizona, I'd me much appreciative.. Thanks!!

Hi all AA members, I first got into airsoft about 5 years ago with just springers in the backyard. Since then i have got my hands on an Echo1 ASC scar, g4 pws, socom gear sof m9, a de 3 shot shotgun, and a cheap sniper from dick's sporting goods. My name is Greg and I live in Chandler. I go to Brophy but haven't made it to any of their games and have only gone a few times to vanguard and once to a place in New Mexico.

Hello,
I'm Ryan, I have a father in the United States military as an Lt. Gen. I haven't airsofted until yesterday with Saguaro. I had an awesome time. I do CQB with my dad on the weekends when he's around, so I consider myself fairly experienced in the combative world of firearms.

Well, I suppose I ought to make a post here. I've been lurking for a week or so, but haven't gotten around to posting yet. Anyway, I'm Fresnel, I'm 22, I live out in the west valley and usually go to the Hatfield games. No previous LE or military experience, but I'm a huge gun buff, and that territory tends to bleed over into military. I've been interested in Airsoft for a few years, but never knew anybody else local who was into it until recently, so I came to a game and got hooked quick. My only gun right now is an Echo 1 M249, but I'm still looking around for something else. If you were at Rise of the Insurgents, I'm the guy who smoked out a battery on his SAW. :P

Hey, I'm Alex. I'm 21, CCW permit holder, Engineering student at ASU. A couple of my friends are on here and I thought it looked cool so here I am. i'm just getting into airsoft again and just picked up a UTG Shadow Ops L96 sniper I customized as well as a full metal DE AK 47. My actual firearms include; 7.62x39 Norinco Mak 90 AK 47, 7.62x39 Draco AK 47, 7.62x54r Dragunov, 7.62x54r M44, .45acp Springfield TRP, .45acp Springfield XD, 44 Magnum IMI Desert Eagle, .357 Magnum Colt Python, .357 Magnum Smith & Wesson model 66, .357 Magnum Colt Trooper.. I think that's all ;) I like the rush from airsofting & I think its good to practice strategy and tactics in a realistic setting. You never know when it's gonna be the real thing... oh and good cardio! Well i'm in Fountain Hills but will do some traveling to get to some of these events. Good to be here :)

Fountain Hills huh? That's where I'm at when school's not in (I go to UA). Its the best town to live in when you want to go out and do some recreational stuff close by. I'll probably airsoft out at the Four Peaks AO during the summer. Hope to see you out in the field.

Hello everyone! My name is Oscar I first got into airsoft when I was around 12 or 13, I bought myself a couple of cheap springers at the flea market and me and my little bro would go at it in the backyard. Now I am 20 years old and own an Echo 1 AK47 CPW and an Echo 1 Stag-15 M4 CQB model. I will probably be getting out of airsoft soon do to the fact that the sport requires a lot of dedication and now a days I have no time to attend to games or tournaments. I might be selling my riffle so if Interested let me know and perhaps we can work out a deal  ;D

Ok So I am making a new reply to this as when I first moved her I thought I would have time to play Airsoft (I didn't).  Now I do.

Hey guys, my nickname is Tech, I am from Arkansas moved here in '08 and have been desperately wanting to come out to a couple of events.  I now have the weekends off from my job and am going to be trying my hardest to get out there and play.  I am going to the Jan 29th event at Fightertown.  This will be my first time out here (and a while from Airsoft) playing, so please bare with me.

I hope to meet some of you guys out there.

I've been lurking a little while and have a few posts, but haven't officially introduced myself...

Recently moved to Arizona from Ohio, where on the AO boards and fields I'm known as Triarius, but as it was a mouthful of a handle chosen in my fledgling airsoft years, I decided to pick a new handle for a new scene.  I've been into airsoft for close on 7 years now, been to events from open plays to 400 player ops in Ohio, New York, Virginia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and now Arizona.  Been to a few LC: Northern Wind ops, headed up a small team for a few years.  I like to think I'm fairly proficient at working on guns, and I've currently got something like "lots of dollars" in gear and guns.  Yeah, I like to play airsoft...

I've met a few of you guys in the past few months, but due to being stuck with Saturdays and Sundays at work, I might not be getting out for a while.  In any case, I'm here to stay and look forward to hitting the field with you guys.

Hey guys, i am surprised i havent signed up to this organization before. I have been airsofting and paintballing for many years, just recently after much recruiting, got a decent sized team (about 15). We mainly airsoft about 2 a month on saturday mornings usually. And slowly getting good footage of some of our exciting games. I hope to get a good team name and post some videos up soon. I also have been into airsoft teching for almost a year, and have been doing paintball teching for a while. Anybody willing to have a huge fun team game, we are located in Mesa.

I have a G&G M4 which isn't bad but also isn't the best since i haven't put any upgrade in it yet. I run woodland in all game. I live in tucson but drive back to phoenix area just to play. yes it's a long 2 hour drive but in the end it's worth it. well i don't know what else to say so i'll just end it there. xD

Welcome to the forums! If you're looking to join a milsim team the best bet is to head out to games hosted by them or go to games you know they are showing up at and play with them. Most of the teams will invite you to join if they feel you are an honest player. For the most part just go out and have fun at first and worry about teams a little later when you get everything situated with what you like and don't like.

I am Ben.  I've been playing airsoft since I was six, so I have quite a bit of experience.  What got me into airsoft was when i saw my brother shoot at the neighbors out the window with a cheap mini g3. I thought it was hilarious and I wanted an airsoft gun.  I bought a sw3000 spring shotgun.  The first thing I did was accidentally shoot myself straight in the hand at point blank. it left a welt because it was 355fps.  I guess I liked the exhilarating  feeling of being shot and I was hooked on airsoft ever since.  My strengths are i am very fast, I'm a great shot gunner, and i have fairly good strategies.  My weaknesses are I am a terrible shot at long range and I have no sidearm.

Hey everyone my name is Mike.  I'm 19 years old and live in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.  I will be moving to the Chandler/Gilbert area in June.  I've been playing with a group out here (www.c3airsoft.com (http://www.c3airsoft.com)) since '08 so I have plenty of airsoft experience.  I rock a KWA M4a1 and a TM Hi-capa 4.3.  I am looking forward to playing with you guys this summer.

Welcome to the forums! Plan on driving to different places to play at especially since you're moving to the East Valley. With gas prices going up 5 cents every day it might suck to drive but to play this sport here in AZ that's what you will have to do.

im 16 i started airsofting about 5 years ago and will continue to  as long as i can. i found this site in search of guns and thought it to be easier then trying to round up a bunch of friends, which is near impossible. i also hope that by going to more events will prep me for millitary combat and maybe learn a few things along the way.

hey everybody I'm Brian and while i am not currently in arizona i will be in july and i just figured i would get in on the airsoft community before i moved so i could have a decent idea on good places to go and stuff like that. but a little about me... i started in airsoft when i was in middle school when i found an old springer in a garage sale. i played off and on for about two years but never with any real ops or large groups but now i am hoping to get back into it after almost 4 years. i started and am still in new mexico. and there is my little intro so if  any of you would like to talk to me about airsoft shoot me a pm
Title: New to Airsoft, I made a topic, but pretty sure I have to post here first...
Post by: Steveothegringo on March 21, 2012, 07:09:47 PM
Hello! My name is Stephen.

I am very new to the whole Airsofting thing. I have been searching for days, even weeks, for what to get as my first playable gun and where to go with this. I am trying to find something that I will be able to be passionate about for a long time to come. Something I can invest in and have a community, like this one, to be able to relate and talk about it with.

I have owned a simple P-99 Airsoft pistol... not electric, not gas, just simple pull back pistol. Obviously that is as new to Airsoft as it gets I'm sure, but I am looking to begin a collection of different rifles, pistols, and gear very soon so that I may start to play.

I am definitely the kind to research all I can into something before I buy, or spend a lot of time with it. I've seen many videos and been to a few stores, online and not, but I am still learning a lot about customization and upgrading, as well as what is best to buy and to upgrade.

I believe I have a found what I am looking for and hope to join many of you soon in some play.

I do have a few friends along with myself who are getting back into Airsofting and plan to bring them here as well.

I definitely hope to hear from many of you and hopefully meet and play with you all as well!

I would like to get more into airsoft but I just don't have the time or money at the moment, but maybe one day if I am able to make money off of some of my projects I am currently working on.

If you see this and are interested message me or look for my forum post for the gun which will have full detail about it.

My name is Matt.  I'm really new to this, I've only played airsoft a long time ago with cheap Mexican spring pistols.  Now I bought a we 1911GBB and tokyo marui m4 AEG with no one really to shoot at.  I'm trying to get into the sport but I don't really know where to start, a couple guys from Gearbox Airsoft refered me to this site to start.  Like I said I'm absolutely knew and looking to get into some skirmishes (preferably for free, this airsoft hobby is expensive).  I live in tempe, very close to asu on apache and rural.  Where can I find games to play at?

Good to meet you,



Matt

Hey guys! 

I got into airsofting not too long ago because of my brother, Warlord, who is very involved with Airsoft Arizona.  Some of you may know him .  I actually paintballed for 10 years or so until i really tried airsofting out.  Now that i am in deep, my brother and i have a great group of honest airsofters along with a team for tech work and constantly am selling quality airsofting guns (we hate dealing with crap equipment).  I am in my twenties and had high hopes for serving my country but medical problems hit home hard. Years later that's when airsoft came into effect.

This last weekend we joined one of the events the National Guard was hosting.  One of my friends' (Shawn Farrelly) was nice enough to run around one of the games to take a ton of photos and videos of everyone.  They turned out very well and now i am in the process of editing them so we can give everyone a chance to see them soon.

Hello I'm Alex. I'm new to airsoft, but looking into getting in the sport. As it now I don't really own any airsoft guns. My experience stops with actual firearms I own a few rifles and pistols. Other than that that's it. I'm from Luke Afb. Didn't want to buy a gun until I ask people that knows about it rather than the sales rep who might just rip me off. Any way just wanna play and get into this. And get a good set up without breaking the bank

Now that I'm making money I'm trying to get my load out started. And I'm excited to start. I found you guys on google and love the forum so far. Thanks for all you guys do.

Hi all,
Joing my son Sabertooth on here. We live real close to Fort Adobe and I love to play there, have also hit Fighter Town and some local indoor fields. We also drive out to SoCal to play there when we can, they have the best cqb fields! I am really looking forward to playing some Lion Claws games too.
With as much real steel we shoot it's great to be able to take some of that into a new area and have a little force on force fun! I used to wonder at how much money I've spent on firearms and gear now I am spending even more on airsoft,,, yikes!

Post by: theFlyingTrumpet on July 05, 2012, 11:38:28 AM
Dan, for guns and gear check out Gearbox Airsoft in Tempe while they're still open. They will be closing indefinitely late July (I believe) due to the owner Ron being in the hospital. Also if you can, try to make it to the night game at Fightertown on the 7th if you already have a gun. It's a fundraiser for Ron and his family. Once the weather cools down a bit, definitely drive down to a game at SASCO in Tucson. Either way, just keep an eye out on the RSVP section of the forum. The classified section of the forum always has some good gear for sale too.

Karasumori, there's a TON of info on the forum and a bunch of veteran guys who have been playing for 10+ years (not me haha!) who can answer all of your questions. Make sure to use the search button first though!

Hello there.

I'm Celduin and I'm new to AA. I've been playing airsoft for the better part of the past two years and my loadout and AEGs have also evolved considerably. I run a Rhodesian Selous Scout or South African Defence Force loadout at the moment (I'm probably the only one in the state to do this!). I usually airsoft with a group of close friends at Fort Adobe, though I'm certainly looking forward to broadening my airsoft horizons.

Post by: 2012royal13 on September 14, 2012, 08:37:26 PM
So, my name is Will and I'm 18.
Late September I will be moving to AZ from Arkansas
for about a month in a half, because I got a temporary job with the KC Royals.

Airsoft isn't big in Arkansas,
I play frequently in my backyard with friends, but I've only been to a few "big" games.
I really want to play more often,
and a friend of mine, who used to live in Nevada, told me that airsoft is very popular in the region.
So I figured I'd look up the local players.

Is there ever anyone playing around Surprise?

I'll have Sundays off mostly.

Thanks.

I'm Francis, new to AA and airsoft. The first time I played airsoft was actually a little over a month ago when my family and I were on vacation in the Philippines. And I became an addict haha! About to purchase an M4 AEG.

I've been doing some looking around for an airsoft community. Seems like mostly everyone would rather play field games and uh..stays away from Vanguard? What exactly is the deal with that? Just mostly kids at Vanguard? If that's the case I'm probably not going to play CQB too much..

I'll keep both eyes out for games at the Games Board.

Cheers

I'll just checked the youtubespace, seems to be ok. You hit it on the head Rockit, would be better if I just went down there myself. One of these Friday's I'll make it down there.

G'day gents. My name is Cordell Wesley Becker, I'm moving to the Show Low area 10/11/12 and should be settled in the new home about a week after. Off of the field, I'd like to be known as "Wes", but on the field, I've always been known as "Griz", "Grizzly", or some variation of that name, so that's what I have stuck with. I'm coming from Georgia, in hopes of either starting a new team or getting into a currently existing one. I don't play at CQB arenas (just not my thing), though I'm completely fine with close-long range outdoor/indoor mixed combat. I see myself as kind of a universal fighter, if I have the weapon in my hands, I can fulfill the role. I've gotten a bit out of shape in the previous Summer, laziness being the cause, but, I'm working on fixing that mess. I currently own a JG HK416 that I have changed a bit externally (and has a minor internal change), and an Echo 1 M28, and a somewhat internally broken JG G36K, I'm trying to sell them all in hopes of gaining money for starting a new, and better kit. Pleased to be joining all of you out West, and I look forward to slinging some BB's your ways.

Hey guys,

Im new to the area of Prescott and am looking for some guys to go out and play some airsoft with. I've had previous military training and shooting experience, but i just am getting back into airsoft from when i was younger. I forgot how much fun it was, so if there's anyone out there who can throw me a line so i can get out and play, that'd be great.

Thanks,

Ive run i dont even know how many guns now but i am currently mainly using a black para-saw which i am looking to trade for a nice m4 format gun.

Hey everyone I'm Damon I have about 2 years of airsoft experience. I started airsoft when my friends wanted to do some backyard games but was irritated when they told me I couldn't play because I put in money for a good gun, (which really wasn't that good it was a utg super x9 tactical sniper rifle but compared to walmart guns I guess it was pretty good) so I looked for bigger and better things. I used to live in Washington which is where I started and joined Snohomish County Airsoft which from what I was told is the largest group in the world. I did games of 300 people in forests and tall grass which was amazing. I now have started playing in Arizona and have a couple games under my belt. I am now starting a parts list for a new build on a CQB m4 that I'm going to build because I don't have an airsoft gun that performs to what I need and shoots at the fps I need. I have a TM M4 which i have spent plenty of time and money on and a KWA ATP for secondary. I got a couple others but those are the 2 guns I mainly use. I found this forum from another personon the forum, Chip. I'm just a mature teen who is looking for some fun and would love to shoot some plastic.

Hey everybody, I used to paint ball quite a bit but put them away and never really got back in to it. Now my wife and some of her friends play but I'm kinda hoping to find some events or maybe just some other players in my area to connect with and have some fun. No military/security experience just willing to learn and maybe shoot some people.

Good afternoon

New to Airsoft. Raised in AZ. Live in Phoenix. Like to shoot and figured working on my shooting skill for cheaper sounds like a good idea. I have a starter gun G & G M-4 just waiting on mask and other items. Hoping to be ready to play a bit this weekend. Thanks for the site it has been a great learning tool about airsoft.

Hello, I am new to airsofting in general. I went to stalker as my very first one this past oct 13. I actually photographed the event. I made this AA so I could start posting photos from each event I attend with friends. I am EllaAnn, and I am a photographer. I never thought about doing airsoft photography, and honestly it was so much fun and would love to keep doing it. Please don't be afraid to say hi or anything if you see me at event. I will more than likely be at Op Zombie Hunter.

We're here since most airsoft players own a lot of very realistic equipment that we could never afford on our own. Anyone who's interested can email me.

Hey guys,

I've loved "playing guns" since I was a shorty. I use to steal cap guns from Kmart, put them up on display in the storage room of our apartment building, and rent them out to kids for the day for blow pops! My new mission is to travel to the best milsim fields throughout the world and play with the best teams. I love the sport. And I'm looking forward to sharing it with good peeps and good games. Nice to meet cha!

Post by: Kogarasumaru on February 06, 2013, 11:01:56 PM
Hello,

I'm brand new to the airsoft scene, but I have been through paintball, took small arms training, just took up bow hunting last year, and have a craving for all things military. Airsoft seems like it will be just up my alley. Originally, I found it to be a sissy sport, where it solely relied on an honor system for hits -- hence my experience in paintball. As we all know, after a certain political figure made it into office, the economy got shaken and prices went on the rise. My main passion for firearms was crippled drastically by ammunition shortages. Rising prices and companies cutting employees to stay afloat robbed me of my paintball budget. For a while it was all work and no play.

Now that things are looking better -- although ammunition is still scarce -- I have been enlightened to the idea of airsoft in its growing popularity. Several friends and I have committed ourselves to purchasing gear and starting up a fire team. Our driving force behind this idea has named our team, "Kogarasumaru", which some may have heard from the anime Air Gear.

As of now, we have myself as team lead/ point rifleman with a CYMA M14 SOCOM AEG, P229 KWC GBB sidearm (few springers depending on variables). The man with the idea as possible team lead/backup rifleman sporting a JG AK 74 AEG with Colt 1911 style springer side arm. My buddy with a KWC P90 AEG and Colt 1911 springer in support. Our assisting support with a Mini M4 AEG. Lastly, our femme fatal who has yet to commit to a specific weapon of choice, but is keen at stealth. Possibly more members in time.

So as I finish my introduction of this new team, I would like to say it's nice to be a part of this growing community, and I am open to any information, challenges, or interested parties. Please feel free to give any forms of advice or feedback.

I look forward to seeing some of you on the field!

Hello, I made a introduction topic, but I wasn't sure if I should have replied here first, so I am replying here now.

I have never played air-soft before, but I have played paintball a few times (three times actually), Handle my own bootcamp training which doesn't really count for anything, practice secret missions on my own (in case i got separated from my team, and had to survive on my own), and I am interested in joining the military soon (Maybe after my AA degree, which then I can get help on furthering my education.) I really hope to learn more about guns, and increase my training, maybe make a few friends along the way.

I have officially decided to have my code name, Anonymous Toys. Why? because it's different, and Anonymous Toys fits my personality. How does it fit you ask? If I told you, it would ruin the fun. 

I speak Japanese. (enough to save my bum.) I am learning spanish, french, korean, and Chinese. <3 fun right! I actually found out at the college i go to they offer german classes, so i will be taking german during the summer or next year. It all depends on how well i am doing in my classes. :D btw i hold a 3.7 GPA <3 i am very smart in certain areas.

I don't think i mention this, but I am 18, and i am one of few girl air-softees. I am also a bit awkward. It's not that I make things awkward, it's that I say pretty awkward things, for example I talk about how cute dead things/people are. Most people I know find it a bit creepy.

:D i look forward to shooting you everyone at least once. <3

Hello,

I'm Wolf Bane, current head of the Kogarasumaru team. I'm 25 and work full time in the Industrial business. I Just started Airsoft and don't have too much experience with the sport. I have dabbled in other sports similar such as paintball. I am a hardcore military fanatic and I'm looking forward to some of the mil-sims I've seen posted here. I would like to get as much experience as possible, as to become a stronger reference for future players. I'm loaded out with basic gear, but I'm looking to grow that collection as well.

I will be seeing you guys on the field, and looking forward to being a part of the community!

Hey everyone. I have been playing airsoft for about two months. I usualy play at Fear Farm. Before this I played a lot of paintball. Afriend of mine invited me to play airsoft and I figured out I liked it more than paintball. So I am here because I am getting more into airsoft. I just purchased a M16 which is a big upgrade from my See through 149 fps gun. I have also started posting videos of airsoft and paintball on leddagger16 on youtube. Thats just a little about me.

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.....

 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.

Hey my names Matt D from S.V. I've been playing airsoft and shooting real steel for about 8-9 years now (mostly airsoft since the price of ammo is getting RIGGED!). I'm a member (Charlie-1 squad leader) of the new Team Knight Watch Milsim group in Sierra Vista. I also play guitar, play video games, love classic cars and trucks (loved my flat black 78 F-150 302), go hiking camping on a semi regular basis and chill with my girl friend majority of the time to keep from going insane. followed a link to this site on http://www.meetup.com/Sierra-Vista-Airsoft/

New kid on the block!

I recently moved to Phoenix from Washington state, where I was quite involved with my local airsoft team. I started playing in the sixth grade with a Gold Rosita K4 (a really terrible M4 with less than 200fps and 18rd. magazines), a green flannel shirt, a balaclava from a ninja costume and a pair of plastic goggles from a laser tag set. Since then, my collection has grown but right now I have no working weapons. Unfortunately it's been a couple of years but I've been trying to get back into it for awhile now. I've been quite busy and things will only get busier as I take on a second job in September, but airsoft is definitely something I want back in my life.

In the way of gear, I just finished the basics for my lightweight AU/A-TACS loadout and I've passed my ACU to my roommate who wishes to join in with me for his first time airsofting. My biggest issue at the moment is that I have no primary and my secondary is an ABS plastic springer P99 (ouch). I sent my KWA M4 off to my friend in Alaska, and hopefully in a few weeks it'll come back as an Mk.18 CQBR with a GBB M9, but at the moment I am next to weaponless. All I need to finish my gear is a face mask, goggles and A-TACS pants that fit me, then I will focus on the guns.

My roommate and I are currently looking for fields to play a few matches in and get reoriented. I'm not going to pretend I'm good--I'm quite rusty but I look forward to putting whatever remaining skills I have in the field >:D

I just turned 20, I've been an avid gamer most of my life, I make and play guitars and I draw quite frequently.

New to AA, but not new to airsoft or military-style operations at all. Former US Army MP here, and before that my marksmanship experience goes back to when I was a preteen when I was actively involved shooting competitively nation wide. Some kids played sports and did other extracurricular activities, I trained my trigger squeeze four to five days a week. Currently in the risk mitigation and protection industry and have been since I got out of the Army. I've played in a few local games and a few larger ones outside of the valley before my Army days and since then have gained a slew of knowledge I apply today in the workplace and hope to continue to apply as I reenter the world of airsoft and Milsim. If anyone wants to get to know me a little better feel free to PM me, otherwise I look forward to getting to know everyone in this community!

Hi everyone.  Just moved to the Phoenix area last month from Maine. I shoot IDPA and USPSA and 3 Gun with real firearms, but the cost of ammo and desire to just get out and do something is making me look towards airsoft. I'm just starting my search for good fields to play on and eventually may purchase some gear of my own.

Welcome aboard and thanks for your service. If you have any ?s  first step is to check the boards because most things have a thread or two. If that doesn't help feel free to post up and ask.
Hope to see you on the field sometime!

Hi my real name is Matt. And have switched between airsoft and paintball my whole life. But i am currently investing in airsoft as i do not have money for paintball anymore. And was referred to airsoft arizona by a redditor on reddit.

I'm 14 and wanted to airsoft for a long time and I have a M4A1 airsoft but I have some actual weapons to I have a 22. caliber a 12 gauge also I have a 44. magnum and I've shot a 45. auto and a 357. magnum. so im not new to shooting just air soft I thought that it would be something I would get into its cheaper than paintballing and more clean. I just need to know where matches are non paying matches and I will get into it. :D

Hello,
My name is Stephen. I just got into airsoft around Christmas last year (2012). Since then I was able to get a few of my friends into it, but our group is still somewhat small and I am still exploring good places to go airsoft. I am in the east valley so any suggestions would be most welcome. Especially the outdoor cheap or free areas.
Title: Re: New Guys, Please Read! Make your first posts here!!
Post by: ruberup on September 26, 2013, 09:39:51 PM
I'm in the east valley too and there are pretty much no outdoor places anywhere close. There's Vanguard and Tempe paintball but both are indoor. If you wanna play outdoor you're gonna have to drive to the west side and play at Fightertown, Fort Adobe or when it cools down there might be games at New Hatfield.

Wassup Airsoft AZ?!

I'm an Air Force ROTC student at ASU. They basically don't teach us any tactics at all until field training, but I have learned some basic team movement and MOUT tactics here and there, and a little through training with the Army cadets. Dream job is an Intel officer or OSI agent; I'm learning Arabic and speak some Farsi so intelligence and counterintelligence is pretty much the best route for me to go. Both jobs are very competitive though so I've been focusing on grades and training. Because of this, I haven't been able to play Airsoft nearly as much as I wanted to. However, I plan on getting more involved in the sport pretty soon since I'm doing great in school.

I joined this forum because I'm looking to join a quality milsim team, learn some more combat tactics, and get into more private games. I owned a G4 up until recently and plan on picking up a VFC MK18 within the next month. I also pretty much ran all ACU and ABUs until recently when I started switching to special forces inspired kit. (Woodland, multicam, DCUs etc.) Anyway, I'm glad to finally join this forum and can't wait to get more into the airsoft community!

Hey guys, so heres my intro I suppose, My name is Armand and Im 14 years old. Id consider myself quite mature for my age, though I can still be a tad odd. I played Tournament level paintball for about 2 years but then I honestly felt as though I HAD to play and I wasnt having any fun, so I decided over the course of a week to switch over to this sport. Semi-New because I have played a bit of AirSoft from here and there. Right now I have a Echo 1 Mod4 Cqb with some ups i.e Gemtech Silencer, PEQ Box, Python Tight bore barrel and so and and so forth. Hope to have a great time in this community!

Cheers
-Armand

Hey all, I'm Smiley and I'm originally from North Carolina where I started my airsofting.  I'm currently getting back into the sport, I got rid of most of my gear and guns because I needed to focus on some other areas of my life.  I also was losing interest in the sport and the people in it.  Thankfully I got stationed out here at Huachuca and have played a few times with Ghoul (we deployed together back in 2010) and now I'm feeling a bit better about getting into the rhythm of the sport again.  I was a member of Task Force 16 back in NC, but I went my own way after I decided that the team goals and my goals did not meet up.  I still play with a couple of friends back in NC, mainly 6mm Militia.  I hope to see you guys out on the field soon.

By the way before I start this I saw people actully make topics for their introduction, but it said noobies post here for their introduction so please excuse me if I posted this in the wrong place.  :P
I am new to this forum, but not to airsoft. I would call myself a mid-level player I guess, I have gear and guns, but I am horrible at tech work, I tried a few times but I usually leave it to "professionals" meaning my friend, haha. I have been Airsofting for about a 6 years. I started when my Mom's friend gave me a springer and a Walmart mini Uzi when I was nine. I was hooked the instant she gave them to me and I eventually found out they had fields for airsoft. Ever since then I have been buying gear and guns. I live in Scottsdale and babysit and do yard work for money ironically. It helps me keep a consistent income for bbs and such. I have been caught up playing football for my high school but now that's over I hope to get back at it. I currently use a KWA M4 and WE 1911, right I am looking for people for a team, or a team, to go out and play more often. Anyways I hope to contribute to this forum, but more likely learn from this forum. Anyways thanks.

Not sure why my prior account disappeared. I'm assuming it was part of some spambot purge and my account just got caught up with it somehow.

By way of an introduction, Haven't done much "real" airsoft. I had gotten some airsoft equipment for some other things I was doing. I figured since I had the equipment, I might see where it's played and see about maybe getting involved in some games.

Not sure what else there is to say.

No need to make a entire new topic on this, it's just a introduction. My name is Carter, I've been into the activity of airsoft since 2008. I was primarily drawn to it when I was introduced to a replica MP5 AEG by a friend. He told me about a "Operation" he attended and how fun it was so I decided to pick it up, now I'm stuck, Ha. After that couldn't seem to get out of it and about a week ago I finally decided to join a form and I chose this. That's about all I got.

I'm not very experienced in organized airsoft. I mostly play just with my friends in back yards. A 9 acre backyard can get pretty competitive though. I think I would be in toRecreational stuff alot. I really like airsoft guns that are 1:1 gbb. I am saving up for the S&T PPSh-41 WWII electric blowback right now so I can maybe do some recreational stuff later on. I'm just having trouble finding recreational stuff. With any info on where to look for them email me at inception2305.goh@gmail.com

Hi guys, my name is Erin and my son is Tyler.  He got me addicted to airsoft a few years ago while we lived in Minnesota.  We didn't have cool areas like Vip airsoft or this sight so we played in our backyard.  Tyler is 9 and started with his first springer when he was 6.  It has grown from there into: MP4 CQC, RedStar AK47, MP7 H&K, the H&K Black Rose (my fav) and the lone wolf for a secondary.  We play at VIP almost every Saturday as long as he has a good week at school. hahaha  We can't wait to play with the big dogs in a real MilSim outdoor situation.  Tyler has learned a lot about honor, teamwork, and dedication to a sport since we have started in team airsoft.  We hope to make some good friends and have a great time and take our experience to the next level.  Hope to see you out there!

I am looking forward to meeting you guys in the Phoenix area.

Hey guys,

I'm an out of state student from Austin that came to Tucson to study geology at the U of A. I have played airsoft for about two years and I'm part of an organized team back in Texas, so I know my way around the hobby pretty well. Since I currently live in a dorm, all of my airsoft gear is still in Texas. I will be moving into an apartment after this semester ends so I should be out and about starting this summer, but I figured that it would be best if I went ahead and introduced myself on the forum. That's all I really have to say. I can't wait to play some airsoft with you!

Hey guys. I had an account on these forums way back in the day, but its been so long I'm sure its deleted. Im just now getting back into airsoft to play legitimate games with legitimate people. I was deep into paintball in high school and used to play airsoft with a bunch of springers in abandoned homes. Now that airsoft has become so much more legit and I like the players in this sport verses paintball prefer teamwork and tactics over looking like space invaders, Im jumping all into the sport. Currently I have a socom m9 gas blowback and will get some sort of aeg carbine in the near future. Im the only person out of my friends looking to get into this sport seriously with hopes of playing milsim and large events in the future. So if any of you friendly people have suggestions let me know.

So far Ive played with the rugrats at Vanguard and hit up Tempe airsoft one time. Hoping to go to fighter town once I get a legitimate aeg. Stoked to play with all of you guys and get to know the airsoft community.

Well it is really simple, I started airsoft when I was six I have loved it ever since. I have slowly upgraded since then. I like the sport and wish that there were somewhere that I could get ahold of other airsoft players. I have always liked the military, and have wanted to join it since I was two. I would like to join a local team near Safford and meet new people. I have had a lot of experience in airsoft and am good according to my standards.

Considering I can't really shoot in my backyard I'm hoping to find somewhere relatively close ( I live 5 miles from the Arizona Mills) I've been to one game previously and currently own a Masada Magpul as well as a Echo 1 1911 and am hoping to get a AEG Aug as well as a SR-25 in the near future. I hope to meet many people and make new friends thank you.

Hay bro I am in the same boat. I don't have any teams or fields locally that are like the ones in phoenix. I just want to say welcome to the community. Hope that you are able to do what you set your mind to.

Hi Guys,

Hi Guys,
I am relatively new to airsoft, being much more of what could be called a chairsofter/collector. I'm a 51 year old snowbird from Canada where the airsoft season is way too short. I've been buying guns and gear since about 2010 and have managed to accumulate a PILE of stuff, (just ask ask my wife). When in Arizona I stay at my condo in Scottsdale, (McCormick Ranch).

I started off playing paintball in the early 1980's-before many of you were born!!

This trip down I won't get a chance to play but I look forward to meeting up with many of you next winter.

My armoury back home is too big to list here but I concentrate mostly on Snipers and DMR's with 8-9 pistols and a bunch of SMG's and Assault rifles for good measure.
Down here I have a WE 1911 Desert Warrior-fitting I think-an Echo 1 fake wood M-14, and a Umarex (G&G) MP-5A4.

Cheers all,

Beck

Well hello there.
My name is Jazmin, I am 19 years old. I have always liked shooting guns, it is one of my favorite hobbies. I love camping, mud bogging, and learning new things when I can. I played paintball before airsoft, I like both. But I would only invest my money into airsoft cause I like it better. That doesn't mean I wouldn't go paintballing if someone offered though.
Recently in my life, about 3 years ago, I was introduced into airsoft. It was love at first kill. I get so lost in the wars, jumping into trenches, getting dent up, feeling like my own breaths too loud when listening for intruders.... Its exhilarating really, win or lose its always fun and intense. I met a whole crowd of new people, I expected to be forgot. I was surprised when they actually would ask me to go to wars, they'd remember. I now have formed a friendship with many of them. To me that means a lot, I was never good at making friends. Overall the experience is more than I could ever ask out of life.

I live near Phoenix, Arizona. If any of you are interested in an airsoft war at the end of this month contact me. I hope to hear from at least a couple of you, I would love to have new targets running around ;)

Heyo, I literally just signed up. I got sent here by Note, from AirsoftSociety.com. I'm 13 and live in Buckeye and have been playing airsoft for almost a year. I've only gotten around to buying a gun about a month ago, and have played at VIPAirsoft, and I've done a few games with several friends at an abandoned lot near my house. PM me if you live around Buckeye, and maybe I can set up a little battle!   ;D

Hey guys, new here. Looking to jump into the sport. Ex paintball player, not LE or Military myself but some training. Member of the Arizona State Militia "Praetorian Guard." Have a friend who used to play airsoft and wants to jump back in and I thought I would start playing with. Currently have 0 gear, but putting together a list quickly.

Side Note: Your spam filter seems to be a little aggressive as it has banned my ip address. If an admin could please message me about removing that ban that would be sweet. I'm currently using a proxy to get in and post. As I am a systems/network administrator I wouldn't mind even helping you guys improve your ban system as it is very easy to get around and has no means of appealing a ban. Let me know.

Thanks guys and look forward to playing with ya.

Hi! I'm new to the Arizona (from California) and have been thinking about getting into airsoft for some time but never had the cash to back it up. Out of college now and with some expendable income, I'd really like to get into the sport.  Kind of want to gauge the community here before I start dropping cash, but hopefully I'll see you on the field.  Cheers.

Hey there, AA!

FNG from Washington (state, not D.C. ¬.¬)

I moved to Texas for six months with family, and finally left the nest at eighteen and made my way to Arizona. I've been living in Phoenix for a couple of years now, I'm currently living in Paradise Valley and I'm looking to jump right back in after a few years of absence from airsoft. I've got my kit mostly ready, I just need to shell out for contacts and eye protection and I'm set for the local arenas, but if there are any locals playing on open fields I'd love to come by and reintroduce myself to the sport and introduce myself to you.

I did a lot of airsofting in Washington when I lived there, I started when I was about 12-13 with really low budget gear. Now I'm 21, and with the budget of a gainfully employed citizen and the excitement of a twelve year old I can buy all the weird hipster guns that I want (Echo 1 AR57 just arrived in the mail) and go play some games again. Really looking forward to my first game after four years!!

Greetings!

Name's Will (but y'all can call me Starr, if ya like). I've had an interest in airsoft for about 3 days now. I've been researching it during that time (so I'm basically an expert), and think it's something I'd like to pursue in earnest (finances permitting). My first gun is in the mail (cyma CM028 AEG AK47), along with mask, ammo, 1 extra high cap mag, and some other bits and baubles, jus' 'nuff tah get me started.

I'm joining the website because it seems like y'all have a pretty active group here, and that'll make it easy to find nearby games/events. There's not a lot happening in my immediate vicinity (hour west of Phoenix), so I'll be needing all the help I can get.

See you in the field!

*EDIT Okay, it's not technically my first gun. But it's my first gun I wouldn't be embarrassed to be seen with.

Hello fellow Zonies! my name is Troy and i've been interested in airsoft ever since highschool. I watched a couple of airsoft war vids on youtube and have been interested ever since. I've only played 1 game my entire career but sadly the group i played with didn't have the motivation to continue so alas I am here to find fellow brothers (maybe sisters) in the community! basically heres my situation. I've noticed tons of people on craigslist are selling their airsoft equipment but why? I think it's because they have no one to play with because their "friends" don't really have the motivation to get out there and play! For some reason the "community" is too lazy to actually get together and play games! I aim to fix that problem. I currently have permission to use my uncles property, it's a little over an acre (yes I know we'll need a lot more room for big battles) but that's why the community needs to ban together and find bigger land to play on! So hit me up if you;re down to team up with me and grow the community out here and finally give airsoft the attention it deserves! remember, airsoft isn't just about shooting fakes guns it's also a way for us to exercise while having fun and that's the image I want to promote!

Hi,

Welcome to AA. There are several Airsoft fields to play at in the Phoenix area. If you're on the west side, check out Fightertown. Plenty of players on Saturday and Sunday. On the East side, we have Wild West Airsoft. Right now Saturday night game play has about 20-25 players.  8)

Hey all!  Been in AZ for about 8 years now - moved up to Phoenix 4 years ago after I graduated from the UofA.  Anyways, I played airsoft a lot growing up, in high school etc., and just recently started thinking about getting back into it.  Definitely got the bug for it, though I'll be needing a new rifle...  Anyways, is all the stuff around here officially organized, or do people ever put together impromptu skirmishes in the "wilderness"?  Not that there's a whole lot of wilderness within the bounds of Phoenix.  Anyways, looking forward to getting back into it!

Funny you should mention this when you did. The day you posted was the (free) Crossfire game up on the rim. I probably wouldn't call that "impromptu," as it was planned months in advance, and had National Forest permits and whatnot, but it was "wilderness." Alas, I could not attend, as my transportation is currently close to kaput.

If you're a member of the Airsoft Arizona facebook group, that's a great resource to connect with people and plan stuff. In fact, it seems we're organizing some kind of impromptu super-game at Fightertown some time in October, which I may or may not actually be able to attend.

Definitely got the bug for it, though I'll be needing a new rifle...

I know what you mean! I've been itching to play for a while, but circumstances have been restrictive lately.

Check out airsoftgi.com (http://airsoftgi.com). They've got loads of products, coupons, and new deals every week. I got my first gun there, and I couldn't have been happier with their service.

See you on the field!

I love the sport of airsoft it's so fun and exciting and the friendships that can be formed between players is awesome. I plan on joining the Marine corps within the next year or two. I've always loved military type stuff(huge history/military history guy) and I love guns whether airsoft or real steel. That's about all I can think of but yea I can't wait to get deeper into this local community of fellow players.  :D

It all depends on what happens to you while you in. Trust me. If someone would have told me before I went into the Navy that ship I was on would be hit by two mines, I would have thought they were on drugs. But that happened to me and 430+ other people. So you never know.

As to who's hardcore, You will find those sort of folk in every branch (and Yes even the Coast Guard). It really is all about attitude and what they choose to do while they are in. Depending on what you choose to do (or in many cases what's chosen for you) as Engineer, that can be hardcore. For example, if you work on atomic reactors on a carrier that counts. I don't know too many people that would want to do that.

Hi! Guess it's time for a re-introduction. My name is Anthony, Phoenix born and raised. I went with you guys to a few games back in 08/09, but I had to drop out of airsoft so that I could focus more on school. After graduation I enlisted in the Army. Served as an MP for a few years down in the lovely Resort Polk. There, I was a member of the Fort Polk Airsoft Team and had a blast. FPAT kinda jacked all my stuff, but I went through some abandoned property that an old roommate left on my porch and lo'! Tokyo Marui MP7A1 AEG with 8 magazines. So, that said, I'm home and looking forward to getting back in the game! I will do my best to catch up and see what all I missed the last few years and look forward to being a part of those to come!

I am really interested in meeting serious players that like the tactical aspect of milsim. I am what you would consider a newer player but I can hold my own.

I joined up to learn more about airsoft and mil spec, as I was recently introduced through youtube, and it seems very interesting to me.  I like to do my research, because if I don't, it can easily become rocket science to me.

Hello, my name is Tony and I am excited to be a part of this group. I am the Battle Coordinator for the Caleb's Men brotherhood here in AZ. My airsoft experience solely comes from our own OPs which we run about twice a year as private events. We love doing it and are looking to expand our experience beyond glorified "backyard games". We are looking at forming a MilSim team to start going to OPs locally and around the country. Even though I've been playing paintball and airsoft for years I still feel like a newbie due to the fact that I've never been to a legit field or OP. Excited to meet some of you and get shot by most of you, lol.

Hello everyone,

My name is Jarvis, but I am known as Kyser to many. I just recently got out of the Army after 7 years of glorious service as a Healthcare Specialist, or combat Medic for those of us that served on the line. My First duty station was with my beloved 80 Duce, 2-504, Airborne! then I served at BAMC in the hematology/oncology and burn center treated fellow wounded warriors. I ended my active duty career at Fort Carson with 1-68 AR,  where I fell in love with playing Airsoft. I'm currently waiting on entering the Arizona National guard in a new MOS. 

I recently moved back to Arizona, my home state and it's refreshing to see that apparently most of the Airsoft season in Arizona is during the winter time, where in Colorado it's opposite, which is a win/win for me, since I have connections back in CO. I look forward to getting into the Airsoft community here in Arizona and would love to see how the hobby is here in our beautiful Copper state as well the people who run events and teams here. 

I currently own a A&K PKM, Echo 1 Red star Operator AK,  WE Tech Scar, and a GBB Glock. So if anyone is looking for a support gunner let me know, I like to sling BB's. Also I'm looking for a competent and reliable Airsoft tech who might be willing to do some upgrading work on a D-Boys KAC PDW if I purchase it, aka everything besides the shell being upgraded.

Welcome Jarvis and thank you for your service. We have many veterans, active duty and AZ guard here, I hope to see you on the field sometime.  Also If you are looking to join the AZ guard there are no better people to talk to than SSG Dilello (andrew.t.dilello.mil@mail.mil) or SFC Keenan (shannon.keenan@us.army.mil)  Both are good guys who won't lead you astray and will help you along with your goals.

Thanks Sarge, I might get into contact with them since my contact in my unit is seemingly very vague about AIT dates and the like, which I'm not used to coming from active duty. I'll be hitting the fields soon, as well, do you have any recommendations as to which fields to check out first? I know i'll be going to command post to talk to Spazz and the guys there about upgrade work.
Title: Re: New Guys, Please Read! Make your first posts here!!
Post by: -MAD- SARGE on July 22, 2015, 07:24:22 PM
I don't have any recommendations for fields since I play mostly on public lands. I generally don't attend dedicated paintball/airsoft fields, nothing wrong with them, it's just not my type of game play.  My only recommendation is to get out there and try the different crowds and flavors to see what you like.

Hello my name's Rick and I have been playing airsoft for about 3 years now. I am a freshman in high school and I am in the San Tan Valley area. I am part of an airsoft team me and 4 other friends created named Gila Airsoft. I use a G&G CM16 Raider and WE Tech MEU 1911 in tan. The places I go  to are VIP Airsoft and Wild West. I got into airsoft when my friend who's 4 year's older showed me his G&G Black Rose and Desert Fox. I now knew that airsoft wasn't just $10 Walmart springer wars, but an actual organized thing. So I bought a gun and gear. That's pretty much all there is to know.

Hello my name is Osvaldo and I run a tan based team here in South Phoenix. We just started Airsoft about a year ago but only been to the crossfire event this years as a team. We used to play at this farmers land (with permission) but then he got mad at other people bringing real steel guns to the location. So now we are trying to get into the airsoft places. We are going to start going to the night games at Wild West. We are just a bunch of guys trying to get into this sport. So far it's been great.

Hello Gang,

I'm Jason (SlowFuse), and am new to both Airsoft and the Arizona region and settling into both. Recently got geared up after a long while hunting for information on the tech aspects of the sport and am sitting with an ICS SIG 551 and a TM FN FiveSeven backup. Trying to get info on local events and groups brought me here and I hope to not only find new info, but some good folks too!

More interested in field events than CQB, but am close to an indoor facility here in Gilbert, so will most likely head that way too. As far as lifestyle interests other than this, I'm currently selling off my vintage Harley business and slowly planning what's next. :)

Looking forward to meeting some folks on here!

I'm 28 years old, I've been playing Airsoft since I was about 13, first with springers, then around 23 I got into it again and started playing with gas and AEGs. I used to play sniper, but then found I liked the sneaking and getting close more. I retired the sniper in favor for CQB guns and I really enjoy the sneaky infiltration, flanking and recon roles. I used to use a M14, but later moved on to a P90. I had to sell that and bought a terrible Wal-Mart MP9 just to have something to play with in the yard. That'll be my backup once my new AK74 arrives in the mail.

I've tinkered, fixed and upgraded a fair share of guns, and I've played with real rag tag groups as well as intense military types. I played a lot in Utah and in California and now that I've moved here to Tucson I'm looking for a fun team to play with regularly.

I'm Tremor...until you meet me in person of course ;)

I'm a college guy. I just got started in airsoft. I've got my own rifle and handgun plus attachments. I found this forum googling the word combination in google.

I tried laser tag-- I was dissatisfied with getting shot at with imaginary bullets and no dodge time. I tried paintball-- the hopper on top, need to entirely guess my shots, lack of a stock, and need treat the gun like a long range artillery cannon past 30-40ft disappointed me. :-\

So, I came to airsoft. My interest is... I guess "softcore" Milsim. I want to be with a crowd that likes the game for the fun of it, but that takes firing maneuvers and tactics seriously, and uses radios. 8)

I'm a weekend airsofter. My experiences have all been at VIP/Vanguard on Saturdays or Thursdays. I rarely see people there my age, and I would like to go to places at time slots where the players are my age and have a decent idea of what they're doing (I have nothing against guys younger than me, it's just kinda awkward being the only adult in the game).

First gun is my Classic Army KM10, she handles great but I've lost a lot of gear and guns through airsoft because I didn't have the money at the time or anything. But I joined this site because I randomly discovered it and it looked good so I'm staying here for good now.

Hiya. I originally learned about airsoft not from video games, not from YouTube, but from the time when my friend brought home a G&G Combat Machine and let me flip the selector to full auto. Needless to say, I was hooked. None of my friends play airsoft anymore, and I now sit in my room and shim my gearbox in my free time. I have no military experience, but just one pistol course worth of training.

I am what some people would call a 'speed softer', but I prefer the term 'high speed operator'. As opposed to hardcore MILSIM players who invest tons in gear, I play more casually and spent my funds to build a 40rps G36C, just for CQB. I wear full DCUs and a lowpro Condor kit. I would love to find a team who plays Wild West or VIP that I can have some fun with (maybe even a Stryker MILSIM team?)
Title: New to Airsoft
Post by: waneran on September 06, 2017, 04:31:49 PM
Hello,

I am completely new to Airsoft. I have a lot of experience with real steel. I am a huge firearms enthusiast. I have taken many classes (tactical, defensive, rifle, pistol, etc.). I have many, many health issues and had a HUGE setback several months ago. It is hard for me to do much now that requires any sort of exertion(sp?). I am having an extremely hard time getting back into shooting real steel weapons. After doing a lot of research, I found Airsoft. I am hoping that I can use airsoft not to just have fun, but to also help me build my strength/fitness back up to get back to being able to do more real steel shooting.

So far, I have spoken with a few people irl and have gotten a very, very friendly vibe. Everyone I have talked to has been super helpful and extremely nice. One of the employees at VIP Airsoft (at the new location in Phoenix) recommended I come here to join the community. Ideally, I would like to find a team that routinely gets together for events and is willing to accept a complete airsoft newbie and take him under their wing. If not, I am hoping that I may at least find a friendly community to ask all sorts of n00b questions and maybe find out about events that I might be able to attend.

I have already bought the closest pistol to a Glock 19 (my EDC) that I could find so that I can at least do some training at home without much exertion. I have also bought an Elite Force M4 CQB also in hopes of doing some training while at home. Please feel free to message me with any advice or invitations. It would be nice to meet some airsofters and just sit and chat.

My handle on MMORPGs has been Waneran. But, you can call me Conrad... Or, even better, come up with a new airsoft handle for me.

I know that was a long intro. So, thanks for reading if you got this far. Stay safe and have fun!

Howdy, name's Courtland. I live in Anthem (just barely north of Phoenix) and was referred to this site from a sergeant in my RSP Arizona NG unit. Have some experience with paintball, but just starting airsofting and already bought all the gear for CQB. I've decided I rather enjoy the sport, so I'll be getting some field-grade guns as well. I'll probably stick to mostly CQB though, as I enjoy that more fast-paced vibe.

You can find me on Steam and various other services by the same username. I play quite a bit of CSGO.

Good Evening y'all,

My name is Mac, i live in mesa. Me and a friend from work have been wanting to get into the sport on a consistent level. We are both marines so small squad tactics and military know how is second nature we just have to learn the airsoft side.

Ive been looking at these large scale milsim battles on the internet and thats the kind of thing we are interested in but on a monthly basis. We also are planning on traveling to some out of state battles but I aspire to have the Arizona community hosting more events. There is no reason we can get together and organize these things.

If anyone knows any consistent groups out there we'd be interested in talking. We are going to start checking out the local fields but will glady take any invites or recommendations.

Nice to meet yall

Hey guys I’m Patrick. Not technically new here. I was a member years ago but I don’t have access to that email anymore so starting fresh. Not military or LE but I did have a short and crazy stint as a bounty hunter and the very pleasurable experience of helping fist responders train for active shooter situations. These days I’m a holster maker, I partner with Arrow security and after taking thier awesome ccw course with laser trainer I remembered that there are other ways to train besides just the range! So I figured after all these years it would be a good time to look back into airsoft even though it is hot right now. Back when I did play I had the privilege of playing with Christian, I know there’s a lot of people that remember him fondly as do I. Anyways can’t think of much else to say right now, I will be looking to gear up all over again and I’d love to find a group that plays less formally somewhat regularly near Phoenix without always having to go to paid arenas.

Started playing airsoft in 2002 in SoCal. Played in 2 major ops LCIII & Serpent Hammer. Retired in early 2004 after I wrecked my right knee in a training game for LCIV. We moved to Arizona in 2011. In 2016 I started collecting gear to play again. I am 98% complete currently for desert and will be working on my od/woodland gear in early 2019.  Currently set up as a modern interpretation of the USMC Detachment 1 in desert marpat.  I also have current ham radio & gmrs licenses. Looking for any current USMC themed teams or anyone interested in creating a USMC themed team in metro Phoenix area. I currently live in queen creek.

Hello All!
I am Corn, not: Corn dog, Corn Chowder, Corn Meal, Corny, Corn Hole, Korn or Corn-Row-Na Virus. Just Corn. Birth name is Kevin Cornwell...sooo.
I will be 49 this August. I work for a tech company that has a fruit logo. I live in Chandler, USA and I am married to a Ginger and we have  an 18yG and a 13yB.
I dabbled in paintball for several years and it faded out. I have just started gathering up my “zombie kit”... (Sniper rifle, Suppressed pistol, Full auto M4 and shotgun...”Airsoft style”).
I have played a few games the wild Wild West, and I’ve spent a considerable amount of money at VIP.
I look forward to meeting, having conversations with and taking shots at my friends in Arizona that participate in Airsoft. My other hobbies include drumming and skateboarding.
Corn

Hi group,

I am currently new to Prescott Az. I have been dabbling in airsoft before COVID. I jest went to my first game here in Az. I am looking for a group to go play with. My experience at the game was great. People were friendly and I had a great time. I played paintball in my 20’s and now almost 40. I went to feel out the scene before taking my 11 yr old.

Long story short. I enjoyed the game, but I would like to find a group that has more older or mature players. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you
