Its not the replies no good.

Its you not seeing what you want to see, or want to do, therefore its no good to you.

A few things I suspect that could have contributed to the injury. One was probably over straining when I was doing some moving some months back. The other from constant training. So the muscle probably didn't quite recover...

Back to the airsoft topic... I've got a TMP springer stashed around somewhere as well. I use it to pop roaches or lizards that wander into my room.

Hmm my 1st RIF was kinda a TMP springer too! heh.

But thats nothing compared to my other beauties now.

Shotgun SG

I bought a couple of springers some time back. 2-3 pistols, an MP-5SD, and the TMP. But springers being springers, they died within 1000 shots ( i didn't really count).

One of them was a real beauty too, I believe it was a metallic Smith and Wesson SW1911 replica. But that died after something got jammed inside.

Oh well, I fully agree that it sucks to not to be able to own airsoft replicas.

Funny part is that, I own a recurve bow w/ carbon aluminium arrows, fully capable of really injuring someone badly, but I can't own an airsoft toy.

how to give u good reply when is illegal to own this thing in sg

sgstars SG

dudes.

let me clarify. it is NOT ILLEGAL to airsoft in singapore. but you need a licence and permit and all that usual bullshit.

its technically possible but not feasible to have a legal ad-hoc airsofting as we know it like the ones 4justice can take part it.

police probably wont like it anyway

Last I checked, you can't own an airsoft pistol.

CID apparently classified it as a firearm... =/

Sembawang CC has an airsoft club though. I'm not sure if its still there, but you guys can check it out though. Again, you can't bring home your toy...

really ?

i went for an airsoft class/package thing quite some time ago. it was held at a bombshelter in bishan.

the airsoft gun in particular was a compressed gas pistol. its heavy as hell(full metal) and shoots little BB bullets. the guy conducting the course was saying something about the pistols needed to be stored properly but i didnt pay much attention to it.

My springers actually have had loads more shots thru them and are going strong.

I think having to store something at a gun locker in a club defeats the purpose of ownership. Unless it is something thats too big to store at home practically, if you're a responsible owner why shouldn't you be allowed to bring it home and fondle it as and when you like?

Most airsoft pistols are GBB and use compressed gas. It's just what kind of gas it uses (134a, green aka propane, red, CO2 etc). It doesn't really need special care. I take it apart and clean it when I've got nothing to do, which is another advantage of storing it at home. The "special care" is really the valves on the spare mags, they need to be lubricated or they leak to high hell.

sgstars SG

ah..

i see.

having had the benefit it shooting with rifles, i still feel shooting the Pistol was disproportionately heavy for its size. and its feel of its weight and holding it is really very different.

viciouskitty74 SG

Airsoft Asia was at Bishan CC bomb shelter before they moved to sembawang cc.

Anyway, if you cannot afford to emigrate to Hongkong, whats the point of affording airsoft in Singapore?

By the same token, if an airsoft enthusiast could afford to emigrate to HK, why not emigrate instead to a country that allows civilian ownership of real firearms?

i would do that. except i have to be more careful not to pop off some kids wielding airsoft at their friends at public carpark.

Simple. because you can't shoot AT people or have a skirmish with a mil-sim scenario with real firearms. Using blanks is too iffy, and using the MILES system is too cumbersome. Airsoft allows the best compromise for people wanting a proper skirmish scenario where they can shoot AT and be SHOT AT without grevious injuries or death occuring from it.

also, cheaper to immigrate to HK than somewhere like USA for eg

what sort of rifles? Have you handled a real steel handgun before?

Bear in mind that some modern rifles are actually disproportionately light for their size due to the use of modern composite plastics, and that if you've never held or fired a pistol much, it might just seem different. I've fired real steel M-16s before, as well as handled RIF G36s, AUGs, XM1014 shotguns and MP5Ks in skirmish scenarios, so I've learnt to adapt to using different firearms/RIFs. as for pistols, they actually take more skill to master so I've stuck to using a USP(strange choice really, big gun for a small girl) and gotten quite good with it thru usage and practice.

sgstars SG

more than rifles.

i was pretty lucky. i got to move several missile dummies around, a GPMG, a saw, M-16 and the SAR21.

didnt get to try a real handgun though. but i love the M16's balance. its lighter than the SAR21 (but the scope and reliability makes it wayyy better than the M16 if it dosent fog up) . there's a point on the m16 where u can actually balance it on one finger. alot lighter to carry at that point. feels just right too. SAR21 feels too short for me.

but in terms of shiokness (cant find a better word for it) when it comes to shooting them. of the three i tried, i would pick the SAW any day. its really nice to be shooting the SAW when prone.

ive actually seen a small sized fella fall back because of SAW recoil. bad posture i supposed but it gives a real nice feedback feel when u fire it.

the M16 foresight takes quite abit to familiarise with. not an easy foresight. but once u get the hang of it, it shoots like a dream.

GPMG = best sound award. at 400m across an open plain, there's nothing better than the roar of a GPMG covering/suppresive fire over your back.

i wish i can talk about more stuff but usual orbat restrictions. cant say any more about other stuff ive fired/shot off before.

4Justice SG

I'm honestly not surprised that people who've tried both the M16 and SAR21 liked the M16 better. And considering that it's an M16 we're talking about, that says a lot about the SAR21 (where I am, the M16 is universally disliked. It's shit compared to H&K designs, even the H&K redesign of the M16: HK416)

I've fired off a real steel GPMG as well, but for the sake of our discussion lets exclude bipod or tripod weapons. The SAW, which one did you fire? singapore uses the Ultimax so it would be that i presume, since SAW is actually a class of weapons, like SMG and ARs are. From what I've heard, the american M249 SAW is not exactly a class leader and the Ultimax is actually a superior design. Theres also the additional "awesomeness" factor of the Ultimax having a drum mag designed for it. Nothing sez "gangsta" like a drum mag

By the way I'm profficient with a M16. The sights are as simple as any other iron sights really, nothing much to familiarise if I might be honest. Indeed my training on the M16 was with the M16 S1 variant, so... 'nam style armalite sights are really about as basic as it gets

Sound-wise, I can only assume you haven't heard a M2 .50 let rip, or heard a minigun open up for that matter . Have to also point out that GPMG once again, is a class of weapon, and the one used by SAF is the belgium designed FN MAG, manufactured locally (probably by CIS, then ST) under licence from FN.
