And that is the same attitude that gets young Americans over here killed. They get stationed over here in the Army at age 18, thinking they are the best drivers in the world and then get on the Autobahn and drive 200km/h and get themselves plastered on the pavement.

its chrono'd at about 280fps. not very fast, but in woodland you dont particularly notice. Also yes i did that paintjob myself. and its stood up to the test of time too, good stuff that paint! Krylon camo paint, its what the british army use on all their trucks! TRUTH (as far as I know from my local regiment)!

Hey guys, noticed the interest in Airsoft, especially from the young-man in Auburn, and thought I'd join in on the discussion.
I own a CA M15A4 Rifle. It feels and looks almost identical to my M16 when I was in the military. It's great, and I'd rather have that in my house than a real one that could easily get stolen, or used against me. Besides, none of the rooms are very large, and the 21-foot rule means my knife beats your gun.
P38, if you, or anyone else, are interested in Airsoft in and around Alabama, check out my homepage site, that'll take you to the Alabama Airsoft Forums.
As far as cheaters go, airsoft does increase the propensity for cheating; but that's a risk in any sport. I like Airsoft better, because I use to play war all the time as a kid, using a stick as a rifle. Now I get to use a rifle, that fires and looks exactly like the rifle I always imagined, to put 6mm BBs down range at my friends.
That'll teach them to borrow money and not return it!

Oh yeah! By the way, I checked out the forum and read what you posted about a proper surrender. Pretty good and very detailed.

Thats where they do the UAV training at now dont they. I think a buddy of mine who I used to fly with went there for his training. Not sure though, he left to go there about 4 years ago.

Not sure, I thought they did some of the UAV stuff in Huntsville, Alabama.
Could be wrong- haven't payed much attention since I was promoted to PFC...

We just had another game out near anniston- 24 people showed up.
Needless to say, it was Awesome! Nothing like being able to break a team into three teams of four. Changes all the tactics in a game.

No, someone asked if they did the UAV stuff out in Huachuca, and I said I thought they did it in Huntsville. The closest I've come to a Predator is seeing one on TV.

Oh. The Predators are pretty cool aircraft.
