approx. 1.5k, not including gas money or admittance fees. 90% of that went into my sniper weapon system and since I never play any other role, I can't see that total cost reaching past 2k unless I had to rebuild my beloved PDI 96.

I'd say in 4 years a good $5-6K and all well worth it.

BUT I spent that ammount of money on my 95% screen accurate Darth Maul costume too as well! SOOOO
I want, no, I NEED to see this.

$25,000/6 = $4,000 year

couple guns, some gear, some airsoft trips

not really that farfetched - this sport has gotten exponentially cheaper.

I also have a career and low overhead; what's sustainable and possible for me is not so for others.

Hate to know what you got in Real steel Vince!

Heck I spent close to a 1K just going to LCX this year, not bad for 2 people.
Probably double that to do a trip back east for Irene.
I bought my first AEG back when CA came out with their CQBR, and used that was $300.
Not including the $80 crane battery for it.
Everything airsoft related is a lot cheaper now. You couldn't pickup a  good metal bodies GBB pistol for under $400, and you had to build it.

I remember when 249s started around $1000, and with how much I used it I spent more on parts/repairs as well as MAG nutsacks.

It started with a 600 dollar sniper...

Traded it but own close to ten guns.

Im guessing 2k to 2.5k

rdmaul: that is a sic setup.

im in for over 15k. just guns and gear. not counting bbs, trips, gas, and my tool boxes and cabnets for tools and parts.
cant wait till i get to start buying again. its time to get some of my guns back up to their former performance level. and there are some guns out there that i still need to pick up for my collection.

and for sure stuff is a hell of a lot cheeper nowa days. my $1,200 p90 could be done for probly around $5-600 with the clone parts, but when i bought mine there was only 1 company making them. and first factory was the only company with the nitro rail and box mag setup, thoose 2 pieces cost me more then the gun did. if you found a used ca or tm for 200 its was considered a realy good deal.
i only have 1 gun newer than 2007 and its a ca g3sd. i dont have any echo, jg, dboy, or any of the new acm stuff. thats one of the reasons the my cost is so high. when i was buying alot, acm stuff was concidered dirt and not to be touched. some still concider it so, but im gonna see what i can do with it.

never underestimate the things you dont know.
P90 is no longer the b***h gun!
