I was really heavy into airsoft a few years ago. It's more less a military simulation, so if you go to any airsoft wars it will be a military simulation. I've seen ones on YouTube that had multiple buildings and missions they had to do. Alot of people are pretty diehard when it comes to the sport of airsoft. My advice when it comes to buying guns is for sure do your research. Watch reviews on the gun you want before you buy it. What gun works for one person might not the next. One person might find a different con that the other person didn't so watch reviews, I can't stress that enough. Also you get what you pay for, meaning if you get a $75 gun from Wal Mart or a sporting goods store it might not last as long as you hope. You may end up spending around $4-500 on one gun between the gun, furniture, scope, and anything else you wanna throw on it. There's both electric and gas powered airsoft guns. Alot of people choose gas because it's a hair bit more realistic with recoil, sound, and looks. The downside to gas is that it's difficult to get a hodl of. It's possible to use propane with a adapter but you need to use silicon oil to help lube it. Gas guns are also more expensive then electric. Electric guns have a special battery so you can't use like AA or AAA batteries lol. I prefer electric myself because of the batteries. If you get a good quality battery it can last you a few days with a decent amount of shooting. Then all you have to do it charge it for a few hours and you're good to go again. There's a ratio to how long you charge it depending on the output of the charger and the mAH of the battery. When it come's to gear, I recommend getting something that will work in your area(desert vs. woodland). You will need a vest with pouches for your extra mags and anything else you might need. Most people will also recommend getting a hydration pouch. You will be running around for a few hours with alot of gear so you might not have time to get a bottle of water but with a hydration pouch backpack you loop the tube on the backpack strap and you can get a drink that way. You will need boots, a helmet, and stuff like that. There's videos on YouTube of peoples load outs so you can get a good example of what all they use. The biggest thing you could possibly do wrong is to cover up your orange tip. Alot of people think it's cool and it makes their gun more realistic but it's just plain stupid to take it off or cover it up. If you ever have a run in with the cops over airsoft (neighborhood areas have this problem alot, I would know lol) it could get pretty bad if they don't see the orange tip. All in all it's alot of fun but can get costly. If you have any questions feel free to message me and I can try to help or point you in the right direction. Here's a few pictures of my airsoft guns.

There was a guy on here a few years ago that did FANTASTIC work on releathering belts, made them look factory made. Maybe search around a little he may still be on here I have a few of his custom belts they are really nice looking. Ok, I will search. If you come across him let me know. I got a few off a guy and I believe his name was Nelly. He was the old custom accessories mod too if I'm thinking correctly.

So April Bloodshowers was cancelled the day of the show...yesterday. Ian saying the venue wasn't zoned properly. Anyone know if that's true? I saw that, kinda has me worried about KOTDM's future. Hopefully it gets figured out soon!

Don't want the second amendment taken away, but I wouldn't be oppose to gun safety courses being required to own a gun. That would be nice! In a few states in order to get a permit to carry, you are required to go through a safety course. Also I know in my state of Indiana, in order to hunt deer and I believe other wildlife (which is a very popular thing here), you must go through a one time safety course.

f1gh7erThe FBI has never issued any statement about guns lowering violence, that's not what they do. It was actually a study done by two economists -- John Lott and David Mustard. It was first released in a book called 'More Guns Less Crime' and has been heavily cited by the NRA over the years. However, in 2004, a committee of the National Research Council of the National Academies devoted a chapter in a report titled “Firearms and Violence: A Critical Review” examining Lott’s research. The report concluded: All of that came directly from here: www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/fact-checker/post/do-concealed-weapon-laws-result-in-less-crime/2012/12/16/e80a5d7e-47c9-11e2-ad54-580638ede391_blog.html You can find this information pretty much anywhere though. I found several pages with stocks saying more out less the same thing. You are absolutely welcome to your opinion, but just make sure you've got all the facts. One bad thing about living in the information age is that lies and incorrect information is just as easily accessible as the truth and that it's a very difficult thing to fight. And as for my comment on 30 people dying a day on this country from gun violence, I got that from Pete Dominick who hosts a show on SiriusXM. He is s very reliable source and I feel comfortable taking his word on any subject. But I did a quick Bing search and found an article that mentions that figure but I admit I only skinned the article. www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jan/31/president-obama-gun-control-push Totally fair enough. Good job doing your homework and thank you for informing me of all this. Very interesting stuff here. I apologize for my FBI statement, as I was miss informed by what I thought was a reliable source... Anyway thanks for the information and for the correction. I just wish we could magically create a system of keeping guns from the people with bad intentions. Sadly it may never happen but I just wish and hope someday it will all work out for everybody. We need a fair median for both sides but what do we all have to go though to get there......

I really do not mean to start any debates or hate comments or any kind of disputes by this comment. I am a RESPONSIBLE firearms owner. I have done Gunsmith classes and studied alot of firearms in the last 5-6 years. Although I'm only 22 years old I only know so much, with that being said, I recognize I don't know every since thing about firearms and firearms owners and I can only speak for myself and not all the gun owners in the world or USA. I truly down in my heart and bones believe that yes their are both people like me who respect their guns and take every safety measure there is and also there are many many many people who use firearms in negative ways. I can see it from both sides because yes there is a problem with people who are mentally unstable getting their hands on guns and using them in ways they should NEVER be used. Guns should only be used in defensive, training, hobby, and hunting ways. I hunt and go to the range whenever I get the option but I would NEVER use my guns irresponsibly. Some how (my two cents here and just my opinion, since we all have one) there needs to be a mental health screening before purchasing firearms. Why ruin people's hunting, hobby, and defensive needs because of some bad apples. Plusssss firearms are out there and as we ALLLLLLLL know, criminals don't follow the laws anyway. In America, 30 people die from gun violence every day. 30 people. If Tylenol killed half as many people it would be banned immediately. Or what if there was a bomb detonated in random cities everyday that killed 30 people? What do you think people's response would be? The damage guns cause vastly outweighs their meager benefits. And the "criminals won't follow the law anyway" argument is irrelevant. Guns have been banned in other countries successfully before without having those problems. I'll never understand why so many Americans think that things that work elsewhere won't work here (see: healthcare; drug decriminalization; fair and competitive TV and internet prices) While you are possibly right with the "30 people" thing (which I don't know where you got that number), I agree with you in two ways. First way being Tylenol is a over the counter medicine and can just be bought by just about anybody. Firearms on the other hand in the US you have to go through a federal criminal background check. Plus you have to be 18 to buy a long gun and 21 to buy a handgun. I wish they had some kind of possible mental check before buying firearms also. If they did chances are we might not be having this conversation lol. Second way I agree with you is that the US isn't really the smartest when it comes to their laws and bans (Just my OPINION, not that it matters). We could easily have free healthcare like our friends to the north in Canada. One last little thing, a little food for thought, the FBI has said in areas where there are more concealed carry holders, the lower the violent crime rate is. This post as well as my first post are just simply my opinion. I just ask that we all respect others opinions as we do our own.

I haven't watched WWE in a long time but I got WWE Net Work last night just to check out WM. I gotta say I marked out quite a few times! It was a great show from open to close. Kinda made me a fan again and makes me wanna check out RAW tonight lol. WWE put on a great show with some good spots. The DX vs NWO was just totally amazing as well as the veterans showing up for Daniel's post match interview. The Ronda/Steph/Rocky part totally surprised me and had me rolling laughing. 5* show.

Samsung Galaxy S3. I love it because it's pretty simple with the Android OS. The actual phone it's self, I can't think of a single thing I don't like about it. It's a tough and good working phone. Had it almost 2 years and it hasn't slowed down, battery is still good, and when I dropped it and it broke Samsung fixed the screen for a fraction of what it would of cost for a new one. Samsung has some amazing customer support!

I was highly traumatized in middle school by swimming in gym class. I didn't know how to swim and I was forced to swim even when they knew I couldn't. I almost drown many times and had to end up saving myself or being saved by my fellow students. The teachers of the class did not care or give any thought or consideration to helping me. So now I can't go to any pools and I get nervous around just about any body of water (even creeks). I ended up dropping out in 7th grade and getting my high school diploma through a different school. Not anything major but I get bullied alot because I'm afraid of "water".

I agree with the WSX statement in the comment above. Lucha Underground is pretty cool with the two episodes I watched the other night. My two cents is that I'm a big fan of their story lines and acting with them but their in ring stuff is pretty impressive. I don't watch WWE anymore so I can't comment on a difference between the two myself but I do have to say Lucha Underground is impressive. We get blood, technical, strong style, and a Independent feel on a network show. I hope they are able to stick around for a wile and can keep producing high caliber matches.
