Hi everyone,

I have been interested in airsoft and paintball for a while but school and other commitments have been in the way. I recently met someone who is already into it so me and 4-5 friends are talking about getting into this as well.

Name: Mark
Callsign: Canadianbagel
Age: 29
Prefered Style of Play: Not sure yet but leaning towards Milsim
Location: Winnipeg, MB
Gun: None yet but doing a tonne of research

I will be spending a lot of time in the next few weeks researching in the newbie section. Finally, I want to give a shoutout to any other pinoys and chinoys here as well.

Thayendanegea April 28th, 2011 21:45

Hello Everyone, My name is also Peter and I am from Kingston Ontario. To start things off I am not old enough to buy Airsoft guns yet so don't expect to see me at any games unless I'm spectating or running around with my Camcorder/Camera and getting to know people, Given that is actually allowed of course, Honestly not sure.

Not much else to say about myself really I guess. I have a couple hobbies. I play games and I do some 3D Modelling work on my PC, not much else. I'll probably be sticking around the off topic section.

bizkilter April 29th, 2011 20:01

Booyah!
 
Hola all! I've been on the ASC forums for a spell and have just finished gearing out a full kit. I used to play paintball off and on for a few years and have been missing the rush of getting my ass handed to me, bullet-riddled for a while now. I'm looking forward to meeting some of you on the field ")

Hello everyone! My name is Matt and I have played a few paintball games before but I am still a total newbie :3

Looking forward to researching on the forums since I am now off for the summer and want something fun to do. Maybe going to a game to watch and for age verification as well.

Intro - Hello!
 
Hello All,

My name is Lee, currently reside in Edmonton AB, originally from Winnipeg MB. I have been playing combat sims/milsim for a few years now, the bulk of which is in Milsim Paintball. I am looking to get involved in some Airsoft action soon as well.

I go by Callsign Lycan (which is taken on this forum, so I added some numbers ha), I'm 24 years old and am currently working as an apprentice carpenter. Some other hobbies include Wrestling/BJJ, running, other dude stuff... Um, I have 2 dogs, border collie and an Aussie, they're sweet! That about covers it!

Cheers!

Mandalore May 3rd, 2011 20:55

Hey peeps,
I am usually called Josh, which makes sense because that is my name after all. Anyways, I thought I should make some posts as I wait for a response from an AV'r. I live in Stratford, I have yet to actually go airsofting anywhere, but I'd like to get out to some games at Flagraiders somepoint somewhat soon, I thought it would be a good idea to get a gun off the classifieds first as I only have an Aftermath Lycaon, which I wish I would've paid the extra $$ and got something better. Live and learn I guess

Mallory Knox May 12th, 2011 09:13

I'm not new to airsoft but I have not been out to play.
I have fired AEG's GBB's and BA but do not personally own one.
I have lots of gear but not a first line rig.
I am an Airsoft Widow.

Super May 12th, 2011 22:07

Hey everyone!
id like to introduce myself,

my real name is Tyson and im 19
i live in ajax currently and the airsoft pistol ive owned for a few years is a crossman p36. looking to upgrade sometime, how do i go about getting age verified? thats my only question for now. nice to meet you all

slink182 May 13th, 2011 14:26

Hello All! and a few possible questions.
 
Per the forum/new member rules...

Hi, Steve here. I'm just getting back into milsim after a long, long lull (close to 20 yrs). Originally got interested back in 1977-78 when spring guns were just coming out and they fired plastic pellets (the ones shaped like the Crossman pellets). Moved over to paintgun combat during the 80's, and milsim with BBs in the early 90's before putting it all aside for other commitments (university studies).

Now getting back into the sport, and can see that it's matured further that I ever expected, both in technology and community!

Thank GOD for the internet.

Connections: looking to find an age verifier within a 1-hr drive of Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario. I have not looked at the AV board to find one yet, but will after this posting.

Connections II: also looking for a club or group in my local area (Waterloo Region and surrounding areas) to potentially join. Any leads would be appreciated.

TM/CA storefronts: Wow, trying to find a TM/CA dealer is almost like trying to find hen's teeth. Anyone know a reputable dealer? Other manufacturers I'm looking at includes RCS, VFC & Ares, but I'm not familiar with their reliability/durability histories. My preference is for guns that have high reliability, and as much metal as possible. (No, I'm not an elitist - I believe in buying things once, and keeping it in service for years. Long-term cost savings is more important than lower up-front costs, imo.)

Personal weapon choices: SCAR, HK416 & G36.

Oh, and Thanks for Reading! See y'all in the forums!

KraGzz May 13th, 2011 22:11

Hey guys My name is Jeff. Just starting to really get into airsoft. Hope to be here for awhile. =)

T9w0rd May 14th, 2011 20:59

Yo guys, just thought I'd say hi. I registered because I saw a couple of people had some really good FR/MARSOC kits and I am working on one myself.

Heavy May 24th, 2011 10:00

Brett-18 May 24th, 2011 21:31

Hello gentlemen my name is Brett I'm 19 years old. I have been playing since last summer just got age verified last week so i figured might as well introudce myself and get some airsofting tips and meet some new people. Good day, good afternoon, and good evening! I just got my first GBB and sidearm!

teh_EmoChild May 25th, 2011 19:57

Greetings,
I'm Kyle, 17 in 2 months 2 days lol. My friends call me the emo kid (or child) because of my long hair and general lack of emotions :D. I started paintballing at about 12, then found airsoft while looking for a realistic paintball gun, and been addicted ever since. I Game on PC and Xbox, and I mountain bike whenever I get a chance. I also play bass guitar. Looking forward to the day when I can get age verified and come out to a game, until then I will slowly go insane :D

israsar May 30th, 2011 11:10

Hi folks,

I'm Israsar, real name is Simon. Most of my life (39 years) I spent in military service in Russia, later in Israel. So army is integral part of my way. Until CF will find my place in the system, I play with paramilitary games and airsoft likely to be the best.
I own AI L96 rifle and will support any canadian team with sniping.
Dixi. :snipe:

Varjeal May 31st, 2011 12:30

A new old(er) guy.
 
Hello everyone! My name is Kim and I have played a few informal airsoft games with lousy wally world guns and a bunch of good friends..time to UPGRADE! Still mostly a newbie though.

I've been doing lots of research on retailer websites, the youtube stuff, and my (relatively local) Edmonton forums, and finally ran across this one. Will definitely need to get A/V'd soon and looking to purchase my first AEG and some kit. I've already found most of my safety gear and now its time for the fun stuff. Looking forward to chatting with ya all, and hopefully soon shooting at ya too. ;)

Name: Kim
Callsign: Varjeal
Age: (Born 1973 I really don't wanna type the actual number)
Prefered Style of Play: whatever it takes to shoot the other guy and not get hit
Location: Camrose, Alberta
Gun: cheap garbage at the moment, but truly addicted now.

IslandBoy June 2nd, 2011 10:39

Hey,

My name is Paul. I live in Markham, ON.

I'm 43 and have no experience at all with airsoft.

I do have years and years of experience with other forms of combat sports, so I'm likely not a total wank. I guess we'll see, but I'll try to keep my expectations low.

I'll likely pick up a gun and gear and give this a shot.

UrbanSniperx June 2nd, 2011 22:22

Hello Everyone,

My name is Kyle, I am 18(as of today!). I am an ex paintballer, I’ve grown board of it over the last 5 years of playing so I am now looking to find a new sport to fulfill my military interests.And I got board of the mess. Ever since I was young I have loved everything military, so the milsim aspect of airsoft has drawn me to it. Another interest of mine is going shooting real steel, I don’t have my Pal yet (soon as school is out I will be getting it) but my dad does so I take every chance I get to get out and shoot. Its one of my favorite pass times, so airsoft is just a no brainer haha.

I already have a AEG, just waiting on a replacement switch as mine was defective. Hopefully its back up and running within the next few weeks so I can get out and play!

Thanks,
Kyle

DarkGreymore June 2nd, 2011 22:29

Greetings,

My name is Phil. I'm 32. I have an interest in airsoft, but I am completely new to it. My main focus at this time concerning airsoft is shooting videos, short films and etc... using realistic looking airsoft guns. Essentially youtube videos that are comical in nature or simply cool to watch.

Essentially I'm acquiring many Airsoft guns that are not working or broken (not visually broken) to use in videos. More on that later once I get age verified.

If you are in Montreal and interested in such things, do not hesitate to drop me a line. We're always looking for people willing to participate in our videos, provide props or costumes and etc...

Take care.

FallingWolf June 8th, 2011 15:41

Hello all. My name is Steven, 17 years old and of coarse new to airsoft... I live in Calgary Alberta, but going to school in Saskatchewan (Boarding school). Any questions feel free to ask.

t0aDe June 9th, 2011 09:38

Hey, figured I'd say hi. My name is Sean, I'm 28 and from Aurora Ontario. I've lurked here for a month or so now, just started playing airsoft with my friends MrBig0/Carpathia/Master_Cheif. I've played two games now, once with the BAAR guys two weeks ago and I attended the zombie game in Picton (holy shit that was amazing). I really love the sport, it's fun tinkering with the guns and trying to improve them and I really enjoy the games so far. Lots to learn, lots to do.

Anyways I'm looking forward to playing for a long time and I'm already looking at some new gear! :/

Looking forward to seeing you guys on the field! (Anyone who plays with BAAR maybe give me a heads up so I can get AV'd, I need to shop! lol.)

Winceflesh June 9th, 2011 16:33

Hey, just thought I'd take the time to actually introduce myself. My name is Mason, I'm 23, and am only a few months into airsoft. I currently have a few guns (m4, s&w mp40, Mauser). I'm in the process of getting age verified, so I hope that's done soon so I can take a look at the shop.

I've always prefered the long rifles over assault rifles, and the stealth and scout aspects draw me toward a sniper/ designated marksman role. But I understand that I'll be playing my first few (5+) games with my m4. Any advice for someone new to the sport and into the long shot?

I hope to have a long and active career here, cheers.

Puli June 10th, 2011 02:43

Hi! My name is Carter. I am 17, and live in Calgary Alberta. I'm having trouble getting out to ANY game due to buying guns that come broken, or that basically have too many flaws to run. I (like everybody here) am interested in airsoft. I'm registered on JOC as gocanucks4ever (Yeah, I know, not the best choice of names for an airsoft forum.) My experience in Air Cadets has taught me how to take orders and now the skills for giving them out :). I passed our basic survival course with a 98% average (as would all of you, most likely, it wasn't hard) and went through our rifle coach camp (mostly gun safety).After that there isn't much related to airsoft I really know, except for legal things, which mostly seems to boil down to common sense. I hope to be of help to the forum, make usefull posts and to actually get into airsoft soon.

Mandos June 11th, 2011 12:35

Hi my name is Chris i just started playing airsoft and love it! i am 25 years old,I like hunting,books,video games,graphic novels and music.

I look forward to making friends here,I'll be seeking advice from all the pro's in the future here.

Thanks

Grorvald June 13th, 2011 13:12

Hey! My name's Julien. I'm 20 and live in Montreal's West Island. I have played Paintball and Nerf in the past (I make homemade Nerf guns that shoot 150+ feet), though I am looking to play something more realistic, with a greater playerbase.

So I'll be lurking these forums for the next couple of days so I can find some good beginer gear.

What I really want to get out of this community are a couple of people I can play with on a regular basis that will be moderately tollerant to my noobishness :)

Best regards,
Juls

Cr0nik June 15th, 2011 14:03

In the interest of etiquette: Hello.

20-something student here from Etobicoke/GTA.
Some shooting experience, some casual paintball experience, no military/cadets, no airsoft experience but now interested in Milsim.
Will be lurking ASC for some time, maybe gearing up after graduation.

Nice to be here.

Soul_Architect June 16th, 2011 14:26

Hello

I'm AJ, 18 years old and I am an alcho-

Just kidding.

Anyway, I'm just getting into airsoft with designs on participating in those really long games (12h+)

I live in Woodstock, Ontario and look forward to a long time playing airsoft. Anyone else who lives in Woodstock and wants to play with us, message me and I'll see if I can get the guys together. For the moment, we all rock clearsoft springs but are in the process of acquiring AEGs and sniper rifles and the necessary gear.

Hi everyone I'm James and I'm 25. I'm a compleat newb to this but I have been playing paintball for the past 15 years. A coworker introduced me to this amazing sport last month and I'm hooked. I'm located in Edmonton and am looking forward to getting my own gear and meeting more ppl that play.

xylum June 26th, 2011 15:06

Hey everyone, I'm Andrew. I'm new to airsoft in general. I've always seen kids on my street using their Crossmans (or other low quality airsoft guns) and at the time my parents were never willing to get me one, and at this point I agree I was too immature at that time to handle on and probably would have ended up shooting it around in the park or putting an eye out. However I was intrigued at the same time and am now purchasing my first quality AEG which I will definitely be using responsibly.

Anyways, I'm glad to be here and hopefully get to meet some of you.

Akula "The Shark" June 28th, 2011 08:07

Oakwolf July 5th, 2011 18:59

Greetings,

I'm new around with airsoft as well, and starting to gather the gear required to play around Quebec region. Came here for information and gathering knowledge about this hobby. Always was at home in forests and a fan of militaria so...thought this could be a good mix for airsoft.

Cheers

Scrubby July 8th, 2011 11:59

Hello folks!
 
Hey guys,

My name is Steve. I'm 36, and I'm just becoming interested in Airsoft. I started working at Supply SGT, and half the people that come in there are airsoft guys, and they've been bugging me to go play, so I went and checked out capitol airsoft this evening.

The guys there were really helpful, and allowed me to fire quite a few guns to see what I liked, I decided to buy one from one of the staff... I think he goes by Phoenix here?

Anyway, about me... I've done a myriad of jobs over the years, including the canadian military, americian police force, tons of security and close protection duty jobs, and bouncing, and yes, now, Supply SGT. I'm an avid gamer, I like long walks on the beach (so long as they involve women and frosty cold beverages)... Bah, anything else you wish to know, just ask.

Look forward to seeing you all on the field! Hopefully I can get out to some games soon, though my schedule is pretty hectic.

Cheers!

jeeholim July 10th, 2011 00:43

Hello, my name is Jeeho.. I'm Korean :cool:

I'm underage :-( but thankfully Ambush Anonymous offers an entrance to players over the age of ten.

I haven't been there yet, but plan to go there a few times this summer. I equipped myself with a G&G M4 Carbine, and probably will get more things as I need them after actually playing at a field.

Please don't flame, I am a responsible underage airsofter, (I don't run around in my backyard with my friends with firearm replicas) and wear all safety protections.

Nice to meet you.

Urrah! July 10th, 2011 01:52

I guess I've found the thread.

Hi, I'm Cam and I am a Germanic/Slavic Canadian. I am beyond proper age to play airsoft (19). I am an experienced firearms owner and hunter. So, my interest in shooting and killing goes a long way back. I first got into airsoft just this January. My first purchase was an AK 47.

That being said, I am here to learn and to share my knowledge. And, of course, to get to know y'all.

Budmo,

Urrah!

BurzumSpetsnaz July 11th, 2011 16:50

My name is Darren and I'm 17 years old. I'm hoping for a slim chance that there might be groups around the Medicine Hat area that would allow underage airsofters to play, but if not it's only 8 months until my 18th birthday and I've been waiting to play airsoft since I was 12 so these last few months will just fly by.

I'm also looking to do a modern Russian paratrooper impression for my loadout so if there are any East Bloc themed teams around here that would be a huge plus.

schouine July 17th, 2011 18:27

HI everyone! Just registered, im 21 from Quebec and cant wait to play, even i know nothing about airsoft, been into paintball for a while! You people looks very nice, cant wait to make new friends out here! Have a nice day ;)

iLLiPiNo July 18th, 2011 08:53

What's up everybody! My name is Roland from Winnipeg and I am a new member! I am 29 years old and waiting for my verification so I can go through the classifieds. Until then, I hope to gain as much knowledge, not only about the members and from the members, but also about airsoft guns in general! I'm no newbie to the sport, but I am to "gun talk" as I have no knowledge of how to fix or build a gun. I am really interested in this sport and would like to learn as much as possible. In conclusion, I am a sponge! I will soak up any and every bit of information you all have to offer. Thanks!

bug519 July 18th, 2011 23:15

Hey all, my name is Stefan, i'm 28 from London. Been playing with a handful of friends for a couple months now, and we're loving it.
I've been AV'd on ASO, wondering if that transfers over here...?
If i kept looking around i'd probably find the answer to that question, but i'm exhausted! lol
Thanks!

kdash106 July 19th, 2011 03:54

Hi everyone, my name is Kang, I am 25 from usa. I had my first airsoft around 8 or 9 years ago, never played cause i didn't know where to play and stuff around my area. Since then Ive gotten into real steel firearms, I have couple of AR15, AK45, Springfield XD9 that I enjoy to shoot on my days off, and currently building my own AR15. I just got back into airsoft around 6 month ago, what a change since i stopped looking at airsoft 8-9 years ago. I signed up for this site cause it's easy to use, i don't see many airsoft site like this in USA, i am used to this kinda forum cause all my Car forums are like this so it's easier to use and have tons of info. thanks!

anthon July 20th, 2011 09:40

Hey everyone, My name is Anthony. Im new around here, but I bought my first air soft gun about 6 months ago, since then i have been seriously hooked. Just yesterday i went and purchased my first fully automatic airsoft rifle, and now im looking to play in some matches to better hone my skills....

Whats shakin'? I'm Bill, live in Saanich BC (Vancouver Island,) owned a TM P90 for 6 years now, finally decided to try out the airsoft weight-loss program.. ie: fat guy in MARPAT running around the woods shooting toy guns and giggling like a child. Sounded like a hell of a lot more fun than the gym. Hope to see you in the field.

AdrianaM July 22nd, 2011 19:31

I'm Adriana, I'm 26 and A GIRL :O. I just joined with my fiance Razzmatazz (Terry). I have experience firing pellet guns but just new to airsoft. Terry won a pair of Glock 32c's from buyairsoft.ca, and have plans to buy either a sniper or an AK47 for me, and another rifle for him. We live 30 min east of Toronto (Oshawa if you live in the GTA)

Don't buy a sniper rifle, even with the best ones you will have to replace almost every part of it; the average price ends up at over $1000.
Also don't buy a sniper, slavery is illegal.

Hey Guys, I'm Matt, 19 from Prince Albert Saskatchewan.

Already receiving a shot to the kneecap out the gate being from Prince Albert and not having fields within a 3 hours drive of me, but that's what I signed up here for. Just hoping to get some useful starters advice maybe find some people around to play with, I have friends from work around (Mostly phillipinos) who played Airsoft back home and hoping to get them back in to it but money is an issue for them. Anyways run on longer than needed so hope to hear form any Saskatchewan bound airsofters (Willing to drive unfortunately) to play with.

Hi everybody my name is Brent I'm 45 and just got into airsoft last fall great way to spend time with friends and looking forward to meeting new ones. Went to MR3 good times planning on going again. Load out SRC M4 RIS MadBull XM 203 KJW M9

Mitch256 July 31st, 2011 20:06

Hey, My names Mitch, I just turned 18, but the closest age verifier is a 3 hour drive away, so I'll have to wait until I can afford a drive down there. But until then, I'll just read and learn!

RequiemDogma July 31st, 2011 23:28

Hello!
My name is Scott, I'm 26, and I'm completely new as an airsoft player.
I've been invested in Paintball for a short while, and after painting my marker in camo a friend said "It'd look better with a functioning magazine and no hopper".
I figure since I already have all the combat gear, I might as well get a gun and play more combat sports.
I work currently at National Oilwell Varco, and like to read, paint miniatures, and game across all platforms. I started into SCSs (Sim Combat Sports) to help get into better shape, because CoD wasn't helping that at all
I've decided to register here to hope to benefit from the communities collective knowledge as I have yet to get a gun or actually play.
I'm also on EAR under the same username and will be AV'd as soon as I can get to Capital Airsoft in Edmonton.
-Scott

SomeBlackGuy August 3rd, 2011 00:16

Hey,my name is Richard.I'm 19 years old and I live in Montreal Quebec.I'm not really new to the forums per say since I've been here a couple of times lurking around doing some research about Airsoft and I was thinking about making an account here but it's just recently that I finally made up my mind.

I must apologize in advance because sometimes I do tend to butcher the English language when I'm writing or speaking it.

Chiba August 3rd, 2011 01:56

Hi Ladies and Gents

My name is Joseph, about to turn to a respectable age of 30. I am currently located in Hong Kong but I used to live in Markham.

I actually moved to HK about 4 years ago and started playing airsoft around 2 years ago. The game is totally different here because the paid fields are small, limited power (1.2J for most public games at the paid fields), and there are ALOT of zombies. I currently own a JG G36E, Star SL8 and a Marui PX4. I think I'm in the middle between a newbie and experienced right now.

Knowing that I'll soon or later come back to Canada, joining this forum is a must. I am also hoping to get AV'ed when I get back to Toronto at the end of August (2011).

JKmaister August 4th, 2011 02:48

g'day,

Name is Jeff, turning 30, from Vancouver BC. Had a 1911 BB back in age 12(i think) but that was in asia, you could find BB's of all sort in toy store.

Friends of mine go hunting, but hunting isnt my cup of tea so I looked into BB and target shooting.

This is a great place to start.

Hello, I am Bill, 14, from Amherst, a suburb of Buffalo, NY, US. My experience is limited to a handful of battles with friends in their backyards. I've been interested in airsoft for 3 years or so now, but have only actually been playing the past year.
I realize the limitations of minors in this forum, and will respect them duly. Can't wait to turn 18 to get a real AEG though.

Ya, realized that after reading more of the FAQs. Prob an AK47 then, love the look of them.

Let myself introduce myself.

My name is Harvey and I live in Edmonton, Alberta. I'm 34 years old. I first got introduced to airsoft by good 'ol Youtube. I'm totally excited to be playing my first game in a few weeks. I'm age verified in Edmonton.

Other than airsoft, I'm a Systems Administrator, married and I have a dog. I enjoy snowboarding, moutain biking, golf, playing the guitar(still learning) and every so often I'll pick up my PS3 controller to play COD MW2.

That sums me up. See you out in the field........

TeeL August 31st, 2011 17:08

My friend got me interested in airsoft when he bought his rifle and let me fire it a few times. I will be getting my age verification done very soon and hope to participate in alot of events once I accumulate my gear and get familiar with taking care of my gun and looking over the rules.

Hope to meet some of you in future events around ontario.

GROM September 5th, 2011 14:40

Hey squeezeeeeeeeee,

Welcome to ASC....that is a good question for the AK Thread, you will probably get more responses there if you repost. Go to airsoft media then find AK thread...

Go with what you think is going to make you happy. You definitely cant go wrong with a AK. The most important thing you have to do though is go to a Age Verifier if your over 18 and get verified. Once your Av'd you can go to all the restricted parts of the site such as classifieds and the AV retailer thread. Also people on this forum will be more helpful to you when you ask questions in regards to what make of gun to buy and where to purchase airsoft guns.

By the way Welcome to Airsoft Canada :) its addicting!

Welcome, best thing to do is research everything you can. read the FAQ and search for whatever you are interested in before posting a new thread about it. and don't forget make it out and get age verified to unlock all the secrets of ASC.

Good luck

Hi everyone! My name is James =]

I'm new to airsoft, my best friend actually bought me an Echo 1 AK-47 for my birthday about 3 weeks ago. Over those few I've learned a lot about airsoft =P. I was able to change the spring on my AK cause it was firing too hot, so now I should be able to attend games soon! I live in Brampton Ontario, anyone else around here? And i got AV'd at Army Issue, just waiting for the admins to process it. Hope to see some of you around! Can't wait to play =D

Hi there. My name's Nick, and I just moved back to Toronto after summer break from U of T. I'm a third year Life Science student with plans to enroll in the Canadian Forces after I graduate.

I've been thinking of maybe getting into airsoft, so I figured I'd register, check out a couple games in the GTA and go from there.

Duke Sedan September 9th, 2011 21:45

Howdy,
I am Duke. I am in London On and have an AGM MP44 and a Cybergun SOCOM M14. I am in the process of upgrading the M14 into a dual purpose sniper rifle-fire support weapon (as it has full auto and all). I have only played a couple of times with small groups. I am looking forward to playing bigger games, maybe I'll get down to Adrenaline soon. Does anyone here live in London and go to Flagswipe Mondays?

gingerlik September 10th, 2011 16:45

Hello!
My name is Borko and i am from Bosnia.. I am in airsoft world for about 3 years and i have King Arms M4a1 (with major inner upgrade). My team is trying to reenact Canadian Army (actually we are trying to reenact PPCLI), and that is why registered here.. In Bosnia, it is IMPOSSIBLE to get any kind of Canadian equipment (i am talking about army issue equipment, uniform, etc, etc), so i will check here if someone sells some interesting things like...hm..anything that PPCLI uses...

So...
Greetings from Bosnia!

Hi all
My name is Dave just dropped in from Ireland to see how things run on this side of the Atlantic.
I'm ex military ex police and working in the field of Criminal Psychology.
I've been interested in airsoft and real steel for a LONG time, I have a collection that's out of control (but hey why not).
That's about enough ranting out of me.
Hello from Ireland
Dia dhuit na heireann

P.S If anyone is passing my part of the world you can verify my age, I'm too old to die young if that gives a clue to my age :)

Magical September 14th, 2011 00:13

hio my names is Magic im from the west side of Toronto and am 26 and i always have held an interest in everything Hunting/firearms. I grew up with a strong military influence due to family friends and generations of farmers and hunters in my family. Unfortunately i never got the blessing from family to join the military so now im just a plain old civilian looking for a fun and active hobby. Im not gona tell you guys everything about myself because what is a Man without his secrets lol. One thing i will share is that this is I think the 3rd or 4th forum i have ever been a part of so please don't be offended if i don't reply within a couple of hours or even a few days .
i have lots of questions about the sport but i wont ask any here cuz i don't want ppl telling me Noob.... Use the search option... learn how to use internet...ect. lol i don't have the longest attention span so i tend not to sit here and go over every page of the forum and i just believe in face to face engagements (guess im old-school like that).
so hope to see and meet some of you at an event soon and get age verified so i might be able to get some gear and enjoy some good times.
stay safe and play hard everyone!

atomicdee September 16th, 2011 00:23

Hi all!
 
Hi everyone!

I'm new to airsoft (have yet to play a match) but very interested in it. I'm overseas at the moment in Japan (sure wish importing airsoft wasn't impossible!) and a bunch of my friends in Toronto have taken up the hobby.

Looking forward to giving it a good go to see what they're all so obsessed about!

I've done some paintball in the past, but it was a bit too, uhm, messy (in many ways, not just the actual tags) for my liking, so I have a feeling that this will be all that I was looking for in tactical gaming!

danlm September 16th, 2011 13:29

Hi everyone, My name is Dan, I am 48 and I live in Thornhill/Markham. I'm more of a collector and this forum helped me with lots of useful information.

Omegus September 17th, 2011 19:57

heya I'm steven, I'm pretty new to airsoft but very interested in it so far. I hope to become more involved in the community, granted that seems to be rather hard here on the south end of vancouver island. hope to be talking to more of you in future, especially an age verifier!

Jaelommiss September 20th, 2011 19:35

Hello everyone. I'm James. I've been out to watch a game before, but never played a real game before. I live on campus at the University of Guelph, but also spend the occasional weekend at home in Ayr. I've tried paintball before, but it was too unorganized and saturated in twelve year olds with no trigger discipline so I'm hoping airsoft will be a bit better (especially with real cap magazines). If anyone knows fields near here other than Flag Raiders let me know.

erroneousTrigger September 22nd, 2011 00:12

Hey all, Im relatively new to Airdrie, Ive been reading the forums extensively and after an expensive on again off again relationship with paintball im ready to purchase an AEG. The maturity and community of the forums has me more than looking forward to joining in on the fun.

DAS BOOT September 22nd, 2011 23:42

greetings Noble Citizens of ASC!


My name's Roberto. Ive been lurking around the forums for about 3 years (joined march 25, 2008) and now since its about time for me to participate.

the reason why I signed-up for ASC is because back then the only option I knew when buying airsoft was through ASC's classifieds. I got 'age verified' late last year. lol

I am in the healthcare field (work in nursing home) and still planning my course of action which is going back to school as a fine arts student.

I am an art guy. I DRAW ALOT. I draw basically everything (that is whatever I see or deemed interesting) here's a sample (NSFW) http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/8536/img1571o.jpg

I will still keep my status here as a lurker and will lurk moar.

other than everything that I said, ASC rocks!

Take care y'all and God Bless

Hey all, kinda late but the names Josh. I actually got interested into airsoft a year ago when I visited a few shops in the Philippines. Just thought I'd get back into it now. Hoping to get verified real soon and invest in some gear so I can get into the action:D

FlashSalute September 29th, 2011 21:57

Necrosphere October 2nd, 2011 00:13

Heyo!
 
Been looking at Airsoft for awhile, and my interests were kindled as of late, and I have been spending a couple of days gathering up information and friends alike.
Trying to find a place nearby has been quite difficult and I decided that you fine fellows were a good place to start off. So uhm... Hello, Hi, Howdy, How are you?
Pretty new to Airsoft don't know a whole lot, but am immeasureably interested, the only sad things is from what I've read so far it's nearly impossible to ship guns into Canada, and I gotta wait another two years just to get a taste of the action T.T.
Regardless hello everybody! this is Rurik, Necrosphere, or Landrew wishing you all the best of luck out in the fields. May your finger never waver, and your bb's strike true. Also dat block-o-text ^^ Totally inspired by Thomas Bergersen - Aura - (Track 1/19) [Illusions] - YouTube whilst writing this up!

Problem, well that depends on your definition of problem. IMO I have a problem and airsoft is the solution. The problem is? I have an urge to dress up in BDU, Tac-gear and stuff and shoot 6mm BB's at like minded people.
