Test fire your airsoft gun

Today was my 2nd airsoft game. Just like last time, my friend and I arrive the game site early but today his wife came along to watch us play and brought us and for the other players food.

The game started early today and there were a lot of airsoft players compared last week. My friends airsoft gun was still not working so he borrowed a gun from another friend of his. But to our surprise while we were already inside the gun site, the gun was also not working. So what he did was to wait for me to get killed so I can pass my rifle.

The person who was refferred to us to repair his not cheap airsoft gun came to us. The gun was only 1 week old and we were wondering why after a few games it didn't work. The man told him there was a problem with the fuse, so there they changed it.

Finally, we were able to play together for 3 games and the lesson we learnt was to test fire your airsoft gun before you go to battle.

First airsoft experience

It was last month when I joined an airsoft team called Mistah forces from an invitation of a colleague and today I finally had my first airsoft experience. Airsoft games here in Dubai are played in 2 play sites, in Sharjah Paintball Club on Friday and in Creek every Tuesday and today's airsoft game was played in Sharjah.

I had the chance to test my airsoft guns and also my friends gun. My friend and I arrived the play site early at around 6:50 am as we were told that game starts at 7 am. My partner was so excited that he woke up 5 am and was already in front of our house when I woke up (it was also his first airsoft game).

We got kitted out in overalls, a full face mask and supplied with airsoft guns. After we were informed about the safety instructions, we were out to play the game. Getting shot didn't hurt half as much as I had feared - it felt like being heavily tapped rather than stinging.

Though it was tiring and my thighs are paining me, it was really fun playing airsoft because of the thrill and excitement when you are inside the gunfield, the shooting, running and crawling make it really looks like a real gun battle.

Here are some of my first airsoft experience photos:

Tokyo Marui Airsoft Guns

Tokyo Marui is an airsoft gun manufacturer/brand from Adachi, Tokyo, Japan. Its main market is Japan, but third-party retailers sell in Hong Kong, Taiwan, mainland China, South Koreal, East Asia, and worldwide.

Such is the popularity of its guns that the company has its own center for airsoft sport called Tokyo Marui BB Sports Field. As its products are notable for their detail and accuracy, they have made appearances in numerous movies and Tokyo Marui has been mentioned in video game credits.

The company is known for manufacturing high-quality AEGs (automatic electric guns), although they also produce electric, gas, and some spring pistols.

I have now a high quality, top of the line AK-47 by Classic Army airsoft gun. This model is a metal/wood design that looks and feels like the real thing. It features a steel metal scope rail, steel flash hider, steel metal frame, 7mm metal bearing gear box and high performance motor. It comes with a high capacity magazine that holds 500 rounds for longer game play. It also features a wooden hand guard and stock, and a real gun logo with a unique serial number.

I will surely buy 1 of these Tokyo Marui airsoft guns.

Classic Army airsoft guns

Classic Army (Yick Fung International) is a manufacturer of airsoft replicas. The headquarters for this A.E.G. manufacturer is in Hong Kong. They produce automatic electric guns or AEGs. Although they very closely resemble real firearms, these replicas fire 6mm plastic BBs at safe velocities. Within the airsoft community, Classic Army is often abbreviated as simply "CA."

Compared with other airsoft manufacturers, Classic Army AEG's are characterised by their many metal parts or, "Full Metal" meaning that each part that is metal on the real firearm is reproduced in metal on the replica, although it should be noted that it is not the same as the metal parts of a real firearm and will not enable use or operation as a real firearm. These metal components usually include the frame and body, spring-guides, bushings and firing mechanism (also called a "mechbox"). Replicas also feature pre-upgraded internals and polycarbonate pistons.

As with most AEGs, Classic Army replicas use rechargeable batteries (either NiMH or NiCd ). In an un-modified condition they can be expected to fire 0.2 g BBs at approximately 280-315 feet per second (FPS).

Due to the mass quantities of metal parts (aluminum diecasting) and the pre-upgrades Classic Army replicas can cost around 300 dollars for an entry level A.E.G.

Classic Army has positioned itself as the primary competitor to Tokyo Marui in the airsoft gun market. Classic Army's appeal comes from its common use of full metal bodies on stock guns, 7 mm metal bushings, metal gears, and including high-capacity magazines with its products. However other companies have been catching with full metal bodies and high stock FPS as well. Classic Army is arguably one of the best AEG manufacturers on the market for the price today.

Classic Army is the only airsoft gun company that is allowed to use the ArmaLite trademark on its guns increasing realism, appeal, and price. Due to the high price of the rights to the trademark, Classic Army will soon be reducing its number of the ArmaLite series to 10 guns.
