New guy question about revolvers
Airsoft_Mr B reacted to chainsoar for a topic
Hi, just getting into airsoft - honestly I haven't been to my first skirmish yet! - but I've got a feeling this is the kind of sport I can get into. I've already started giving some thought to what I might want to buy in the future if/when it comes time to get my own gear. I guess it seems like I'm getting ahead of myself a bit but I reckon the more thought I put into it, the better my chances of ultimately making a decent choice. Anyway, the thing is, I really love revolvers. I like the way they look, work, shoot, feel, etc etc ad nauseam. Cowboys are cool and Dirty Harry was awesome. So, with that in mind, what are the makes and models I should be thinking about? I like the idea of a Colt Python/Anaconda or a Taurus Raging Bull replica. What should I be bearing in mind in terms of practicality, build quality, gas vs electric, and so on? Also, in your experience, does the issue of reloading in the heat of the moment become significantly less of an issue with time and practice? I've seen speed loaders, but I don't know how good they are, any input on those? Sorry for the wall of questions, thanks in advance.1 point -
New guy question about revolvers

All pistols are just for playing about with. You want a good Electric rifle to start with. Once you have all the gear you NEED, then start thinking about pistols. 24 shots is quite good for a pistol, the downside is that reloading a revolver mid game is not a viable option. The only time I have needed more than 24 rounds in a pistol is at a CQB site where I decide to ditch the big guns.1 point -
In airsoft they're not great at all. They're usable, yes, but very low capacity (6 or 24) compared to other gas pistols that can hold more rounds than that (plus you can get extended magazines for some models.) But if you really want an airsoft revolver to skirmish with, go with Tokyo Marui. Their revolvers hold 24 rounds, performance is ok, but the shells don't come out and the aesthetics feel a bit cheap. Reloading a revolver that uses shells can be incredibly annoying, the speed reloaders sort of help but the shells wobble around in the speed loader so you have to perfectly align the shells into the chambers. If you want aesthetics, Marushin's revolvers are gorgeous, but they're a little expensive. Sorry if I sounded negative.1 point

Ian, it may be easier to have one side of the mask with Velcro, so it could be opened and pulled aside.1 point

For those asking about the strength of the plastics used take in mind that people are producing real steal weapons out of the stuff1 point -

Because Liam, ever since i got shot just under the eye between a loose 1/2 face and goggles, i wear them with 2 straps, tight to my face so they don't move when i run - which is a pain in the hole to fiddle with, especially if i'm also wearing a headset. A simple door that latches tight back in place - what could be simpler to operate?1 point

Thinking of 3D printing Dangerwerx Type B arms for personal use as my brother has access to one at work. 3d printing looks a bit better than a lot of cast parts(Lol JG bar 10 hop arm) so I might give it a go and see how it works. Using a soft bucking I'm sure even the weakest of 3d printable plastics could hold up. I think 3d printing could lead to a load of new hop up concepts,should be cool for all the techie goyim.1 point
