Animal's Airsoft Universe



Airsoft is a sport that is played by many people in the Lower Mainland. The big attraction to Airsoft is the accuracy of the airsoft guns to real weapons. This also has brought the unfortunate attention of a lot of law enforcement and law-makers alike to try to ban the sport. Thus a few bad apples make it hot for the law-abiding Airsofter.

I was attracted to Airsoft because I wanted to collect these guns. They look real enough and for the person who likes to model militaria, these guns complete the outfit quite readily. Plus, I guess, I could say, I wasn't allowed to play with toy guns when I was a kid, so this is how I get my kicks.

However, as rules go, Airsoft should not be taken lightly. You should be prepared to treat your guns as real weapons. Safety should be considered at all times and they should be locked up as if they were real weapons. These guns should not be left lying around, toy though they may be. The pellets (round plastic 6mm BBs) can hit hard enough to take out an eye. I shot it at my foot, on purpose, to see how hard it hit. It left a welt for a week which hurt like the dickens for about half-the-day after I shot myself. (I would say that qualifies me for the idiot of the day award)

At present I own 4 Airsoft (2 handguns, 1 submachine gun, 1 rifle).

Sig Sauer P228 - springaction
Beretta M92 - springaction
Heckler & Koch HK MP5 A3 - springaction
Colt M-16A2 - electric

Here are some pics that I have taken of me and my Airsofts.



If you are thinking about playing with Airsoft. Please do it responsibly so that we all can continue to enjoy this sport.

And to the few that persist in making a mockery of this sport by persisting to break the law. This sport has a lot of people who are interested in it for perfectly legal reasons. You wouldn't want a bunch of us MAD (at getting our sport banned, because of YOUR illegal shenanigans), would you? So do something illegal with it, we'll take great pleasure in seeing that your butt gets placed behind bars (where it belongs).



Latest News:

It appears that some dumb idiot has decided to target practice using horses as targets with an airgun in the Interior of British Columbia. The horses were injured, often with flesh wounds where the pellets had bit into the flesh. As well, one horse was wounded just above the eye (A little lower and the eye would have been taken out...) Whoever did this, you're a real work of art. Wish we could do the same thing to you, that you did to this horse.

Airguns use metal pellets and should not be used for anything other than target practice against inanimate objects or for vermin removal. The above criminal misuse results in both airgun users and Airsoft users getting tarred with the same brush. And quite often provides anti-gun legislators with more fodder to use to ban Airsoft and any form of guns whether actual firearms or airgun.

Animal's Rants on unrealism in Airsoft Play
Every Airsofter knows that his M-16A2 or other rifle can carry 150+ pellets (the handguns can carry 60+) and every damn one of them fills their mags to the maximum. Why don't I like this? Because it ain't fucking real! That's why. That's how come in a match that I organize, most people won't fucking like it, since I believe in realism. The real M-16A2/AK-47, or whatever damn rifle you have is limited to 30 rounds. The handguns are limited to 15 (in the U.S.), 10 in Cana-DUH! So what does that teach you? It teaches you how to "COMBAT RELOAD!" Hide behind a fucking stump, keep your fucking Beretta or USP out to defend yourself and start popping 30 pellets into your empty (because you fucking emptied it in stupidity on FULL AUTO ROCK AND ROLL!) mags.

It also teaches you two words "AMMO CONTROL!" You take cover, and you select your targets. You jump out like Rambo and start blasting away, you get DEAD real quick in real life. Why do this in Airsoft tournaments? So take your finger off the full auto and put it to semi-automatic. The reasons for this is if you really want to imitate real combat situations, then you shouldn't go into a situation such as a tournament in GOD mode (150+ pellets per mag isn't GOD mode, Give me a fucking break) spraying pellets left, right, and center so the ducks and geese can choke on the pellets afterwards.

That's how come I love the element of having snipers. It keeps people's heads down. That's how come it's always good to have a good sniper on your team. The enemy doesn't know if he's going to get popped in the head from 800 yards away. And an 700-1000 yard head shot is as good as guaranteed 'dead' so if you want to not have to spend a tonne of time in the 'regeneration' zone then you keep your head down and fire selectively. So...when you come up against my team, prepare to get wiped or at the very least remember to bring extra underwear. You'll need it.

If you're lucky and you got fucking good aim, you'll be able to survive your "combat" situation. If not, well, a good stint in a body bag might do you some wonders for your sense of tactics. So...mutated offspring! "...play the field, and keep it real!"
