Been offered a Systema PTW MAX 12 for my vector...

Whoah whoah whoah... what's wrong with Nerf?

 

[ImTriggerHappy]

Realism is a big part of Airsoft though. how many of us would play if the guns did have to look like NERF guns?

I would.

I have actually used a nerf gun it was a little single shot thing and I got about a dozen kills in one game with it, best gnu eva.

I think I must be the odd one out as I honestly don't connect airsoft stuff with real world stuff in any way at all.

Nerf is what led me here. 

Got some Nerf guns to play with my daughter, then we got some helmets then some camo gear then happened to be looking at a scope for Nerf/Airsoft so started googling about Airsoft.

Cheers

Interesting story, I find it quite cool reading about how people got into Airsoft!

I was tempted by a friend. I had a few plinks in his garden and he kept on bullying me. Then he offered to lend me some gear and pay for my first skirmish. You know what they say, "The first one is free..." And yeah... I was hooked.

That’s how I got my brother into Airsoft...at first he borrowed some stuff from me and now he’s spent more than me! :lol:

sorry to derail this thread! If you want a systema and feel that the price is justified feel free!

You say that, but my argument to this is always, how many soldiers do you see throwing Pink/Yellow/Red/Blue/Orange grenades around? I can bet that most people in this chat have used a TRMR in one of those colours.

It seems acceptable in certain situations to use realistic gear, but in other situations it’s frowned upon.

I enjoy the sport, I have played in many different roles and ways, but I always come back to my belt set up as it’s light and easy. Yeah it’s not going to be used realistically, but if I wanted that, I would do a milsim.

Out the box they have the best trigger response of any M4 AEG. I know as I have around 260 AEG's.

No disrespect meant to anyone. I have been led to believe systemas are more for the people who take the sport seriously or want it to be as close to realism as possible. I am not one of these people. I play for fun.

Like I said, I have never seen/used one so can’t actually say much about them. I just hear the usual safe zone stories “I bet he’s a systema owner” blah blah Bullsh*t. 

The OP asked for any views, Just because we don’t all have the same views, doesn’t mean some of us are wrong.

I didn't take any offence, mearly taking the piss a bit

 

[Dentonboy]

I'm just surprised @mightyjebus only has 260 AEGs tbh. Having had the pleasure of being on his team a few times at CSW back in the day, I have seen him with a smorgasbord of delectable rifs... 

 

[iestynrhobet]

Systema guns are extremely expensive. A certain “type” of people usually own them. I have never seen/used one. But I have seen many up for sale around the £1000 mark. Wouldn’t be able to tell you if that particular gun is good/bad.

if you have never seen or used one, how can you tell what "type" of person owns one?
