Random Things From the Room 101 of Airsoft Forum History.

[Venomous]

Following on from the ZuckerPurge, I thought it may be interesting to see who remembers some of the more random events of forum life in the Noughties...

 

Question 1 - which "Airsoft Saviour" emerged in 2003 offering Equilibrium inspired M92's and Airsoft ready RAP4 converted RIF's. Some of us met this person, and managed to get something for our original orders that were never delivered.

 

Who was it?

Ooh, did he have a PHD from MIT in Wound Ballistics?

Yes, I know you know... Let's give the youngsters a chance. 😆

One that comes to mind was an early effort of an airsoft Tavor. The people behind it had made a decent Galil. 

Then there was a very disappointed unboxing video and the feedback posts about the aeg began to emerge. 

 

Actually even in 2021 the airsoft offerings of Israeli kit are fairly mediocre.

been a few rows i remember, like @ImTriggerHappy versus a guy who swore the S-hop was the best thing ever, or @Skara trying to talk sense into Novritch's biggest fan.

If we're talking rows, there was a certain flame haired "angry kid" lookalike that couldn't come on here without having a Barney, about quite literally anything, he'd swear blind black was white lol.

Loved angry kid.😄

Gonna have to revisit on the tube

you meaning the one guy who actually managed to get banned from this place i take it?

 

i'm trying to dig up them threads i was talking about just for a laugh

 

edit: found it:

come to think of it i think the dumpster fire saved my ass because apparently that was back when i still thought pro-wins were good

 

in my defence i was getting very good results from mine at the time so maybe i just got lucky.

 

edit 2: found the other one

Name the Airsoft Team that provided ASCUK with hours of amusing Photoshopage.

[Jacket]

Haha I remember that one

[Venomous]

Back in the days when barrel length equated to FPS. FFS more like.

 

Who remembers Terror Squid (Squad)?

[Venomous]

That's the latter half of the question answered correctly.
