Sorry for quoting far far back, but I had bad internet connection and wanted to reply to this..
Me:
Hey.. real airsoft is for adults? I'm 17, am I not a "real airsofter" then?
AZSarge:
Nope. Until you can walk into a store [alone] and buy a gun, you are not a real airsofter. Until then, you are an ice-skater, and the ice is thin.
I know what you mean by the ice is thin, as in the legal issues. But that seriously means, although I got a job almost just for the reason of airsoft, and I work hard and use that money on airsoft, and JUST because I can't walk into a store on my own and buy some airsoft gear or whatnot, I'm not a "real airsofter"? This means, when I hit that 18 mark just before LC4, I'll be a real airsofter? Does it mean that my friend, Chris, that CAN walk into a store and get a gun but plays with bluejeans and a t-shirt IS a real airsofter?
I never knew real airsofting was limited to not attitude or style, but by legal issues.
