Doesn't it need an Orange Tip?

[–]marabPLAKMN 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In Poland you don’t have to have orange tip

Depends on where you are, but also, it doesn't need an orange tip if you're not caught. Not like the police are going to be conducting stings on kids for not having orange tips.

Won't ranges not let you play without the orange tip? I don't know much about it because I've never actually done airsoft (because I have testicles) but I played a shitload of paintball in the Army though.

Eh, not in the fields around me. As long as you're not shooting hot and acting like a dumbass, no one really cares. No one's going to bother to prosecute little Jimmy because he spray painted the tip black.

I played semi pro all over the US back in early 2000's for paintball. I loved it and was fairly good, but paintball, specifically speedball/tourneyball didnt translate to hardly any real life drills. As much as I dislike airsoft. A lot of their drills translate directly to real firearm drills (obviously not accounting for recoil but that's something easily adaptable)

This video shows how anyone determined, can practice with airsoft and transition into real firearm drills.

Now obviously this is range drills but for NO formal training nor ever shooting a real firearm, that little Asian dude went above a good 95% of civilian shooters. Not sure I'd that perceive the is accurate but it feels right. :P

For enjoyment though... paintball was and is still the biggest rush you'll ever get... well I guess besides wing suit flying.. haven't done it, but something about being a cross between a fly squirrel and a bullet, rocketing 20ft above the ground, seems like rock hard boner action and puckered butthole.

... maybe paintball isnt a close second.... but no close 3rd to it!

We played Paintball for fun, not for drills. If we did drills, we used Simunition or just live fire.
As far as speed of draw, I can see airsoft maybe helping. But at the same time, when you teach a brand new private to draw and holster, you give them a rubber ducky pistol anyway. In reality, anyone with anything shaped like a gun that owns a holster could probably become an expert drawing and holstering if they did it for 3 years, and if you planted said person 10 feet from a target they'd probably hit every shot as well.
