Born is Wiki's Airsoft Blog

Okay, so as someone who was for the most part typically opposed to blogging I've finally found something that I can constitute writing about online since I have random thoughts throughout the day on the subject. On this page is where I intend to chronicle my AAR's on games I attend, my reviews that I do on weapons and gear, and other general airsoft topics.

This first entry is going to be focused on a recent airsoft issue in my town of Winchendon, MA. So as we all are well aware when you open any manual for any airsoft gun you own it say not recommended for operators under the age of 18. Now I used to question this rule until the other day flicking through the news paper and my eyes falling on the police blogger. A 19 year old kid in my town went with two of his 17 year old friends to Wal-Mart to buy AEG's.

Okay well that's their first mistake right there, for anyone fortunate enough to read this don't buy your guns at Wal-Mart if you plan on playing in any type of serious game, these guns will fail you time and time again. The same goes for airsoft products at your local sporting goods store. Order online or at a specific airsoft focused retailer.

So anyways, as the 19 year old goes in to Wal-Mart to buy AEG's for his little twerp friends the two 17 year olds start using some springers that were already in the car to plink customers. So after the 19 year old gets done with his purchases he walks out and gets in the car and drives off. Wham-o, he's now an accessory. So the cops eventually catch up to them and all of them are taken down town.

Whoopsie, big mistake...so let this guys mistake be a lesson to every airsoft operator out there don't buy AEG's, springers, or gas guns for people under the age of 18. They are not mature enough to treat airsoft guns as if they were real weapons, and bearing this in mind they are probably not mature enough to call their hits. There is an age limit suggested in the manual for a reason.
