Hi there.
In the past couple of days, I've been reading up on Airsoft and it seems really interesting. I'm only 16, and I understand that to be a registered UKARA member, and so own your own gun, you need to be at least 18. All the same, I figured I'd ask some questions about the sport.
How different to paintball is airsoft? I've got myself my own paintball set up, and, having seen what is on offer for airsofting, I feel that it was a waste of money- of the two, airsoft seems more tactical (thumbs up for me) and all guns seem to be replicas, unlike paintball where people run around with what I call 'Power Ranger guns.'
How much does it cost to do airsoft? As mentioned, I'm starting to regret taking up paintball and one of the reasons is the costs- local sites charge at least £35 for a day, and I end up churning out even more cash for ammo, but from what I've seen airsoft is relatively cheaper and ammo costs less too.
Gun maintenance- how often is it done? I saw a notice on a website explaining that tampering with your gun can be detrimental to it's performance, which sounds a lot unlike paintball, where you're almost constantly taking it apart and cleaning the internals. And how IS an airsoft gun maintained?
Will post if any other questions come to mind, cheers in advance
