The Official Introduction thread. "new and don't know where to start?"

[slicker]

Hello from Sunny Florida,
Well after using the rental guns for the past couple years, I finally decided to get my own.  And yup, airsoft it was. The guy in the store told me about this forum so I thought I would check it out and join.  Looking forward to it.
thanks,

ya we're pretty laid back. Idk about the KWA my good sir. I've only had bad experiences with them, although I cannot say much about the new ones (like you are getting) I guess they are supposed to be pretty good. I myself run a Classic Army PMC and love it. (out of the 20 plus guns I have or have had in the past.

hello-

my name is mike, but call me whatever. I've been into paintball for several years and i finally decided to go with airsoft due to the outrageous cost of paintballs these days.

My airsoft venture started with the tried and true....pulse r72 from walmart. after buying what had seemed as an exponential amount of more BB's then paintballs with the same amount spent, i was hooked. i had thought my gun was alright, it had worked for when i was rampaging around my land with a couple of my friends. then one day the elitist in me kicked in and i was craving for more - more accuracy, more power, longer range. i decided that it would be best that i dive head first into this hobby!

 i hope to become an avid, knowledgeable player. I'm more or less hoping to get a better experience then that i got with paintball. you cant really match the adrenaline rush anywhere else in my opinion. i dont know a whole lot about airsoft, but im trying my best to absorb as much as possible. the amount of information about this game is sort of overwhelming! i did, however, manage to learn enough to be able to make a desicion on my first AEG : a KWA sr12. it already has a 6.03 TBB installed and maybe plan on getting a couple more upgrades if possible. 

yea thats probably enough introduction. I'm hoping that you guys are nice compared to some other airsoft forums i've tried to go to before!

Hey. I am a pretty mid-term airsofter. Been playing ATLEAST 7 months. Currently I own a Stringer P9 + Some crappy AK-47. Also I have a thompson M1A1 coming for delivery. (Its the black one from Kapowwe, the site claims in has 280-300 while some reviews say 350-400, either way, i love thompsons!) Alright, thats it

Hello all,

I'm a long time real steel shooter, dealer and gunsmith. Due to some medical issues I'm not going to get the opportunity to throw a bunch of rounds down range for the next couple months so I'm looking at airsoft as a possible indoor alternative for target practice. Accuracy is my overriding concern. I'm in the process of reading through all the threads in the newbie section for advice, but may end of having to post on of those "Which Gun" threads I know you're all probably sick of. For the time being I'm only in the market for a semi-auto pistol, but can see possibly expanding into long guns in the future depending on how things go. I appreciate any advice and look forward to some internet knowledge.

Hey,

I Live in colorado and have not found any real groups to play with so I just play some back yard airsoft once in a while.

Hoping to get more competitive and find a team.

I only have a gas pistol and a mac 10 right now so I am looking to buy a full metal AEG here soon. I really like the AK-74's but I am still considering the M4's too.
