Has Airsoft changed, or is it just me?

[Sewdhull]

Video games I think have influenced the die alot thing.

Death in games is very gradual now, mistakes cost less.

I used to play roguespear years ago with some military online buddies, 2 shots and you were dead, crippled and then dead. Loved it.

I think the player base, getting younger with Thier experience of the world was bound to change things...that's ok.

Gotta adapt or spectate

Ahhh... Rogue Spear. Those were the days. Preferred Raven Shield personally but yeah, good times.

Valid points and it seems like a lot rests on the shoulders of the event holders. Knowing when and how to modify their games to adapt to a changing client base and tech.

Yep I had a TM recoil after having a ghk gbbr. Loved my ghk but the mags at the time I had for the ghk were a pita and the cold weather performance was too inconsistent. Thought the ngrs was the next best answer but I found it sterile compared to gbbr, the ngrs got shelved. I stuck to my TM gbb pistols for the past 10 odd years and never missed a beat for me no hpa needed, not sure what's up with your px4 but not sure hpa is the answer. I've since got me an mws, only been out one game so far but I do like it.

Speaking of changing tech... what's the MWS like overall? Is QC up to the usual Marui standards?

The multiplayer was my bag, 4 players... Teamspeak... ISDN line... 

Mods existed for guns, just the beginning of things to come.

?.  the only 2 aeg options were TM or classic army. 

Ah yes.

The days when we all wore surplus DPM, Western Arms made the best pistols (especially when tuned by Matt Dean) and Airsoft Dynamics were still trading.

 

[DanBow]

I had some lovely WA's?

It's the only rifle I would consider using apart from maybe a ghk G5 with the current G5 mags. They just work. Feed em black gas in extreme cold and your good to go. Same with most the newer tm gbbp's. Mainly went with the mws for it's reputation and old school aesthetic. Got 20rnd mags for it too now.

I'm 55 going on 56 (que a sound of music meme), & I can honestly say I've NEVER been told this before.

You had mention Airsoft Dynamice those twats cost me an as new in box MGC HK P7M13 when they went pop!

As for changes in modern times i'd say Plastic Printing is one of the biggest and best innovations.  Just wish I wasn't a luddite and could get in on it. lol

 

[Archer]
