Ultimately its all about simulation. I have herd of guys putting weights in there mag pouches to simulate life load. But its also a pissing contest of who's got the better kit and who's got the better gun. Reminds me of that duck dodgers episode where him and Marvin have an arms race. That's a good representation of the social aspect of airsoft. or rather chairsoft.

Once you get passed the pissing contest its on to the rush.

In Canada the HK G36 variants (except the SL series I believe) go for around $6-8000, since they are no longer being brought in, and there are very few in the country.

Because HK says they're for LE/military only. They had a MASSIVE sh*tfit when they discovered civilians here got their hands on semi-auto G36s. Has a little to do with German law, and a lot to do with HK's elitist, pompous, snobbish attitude that they're famous for.

As far as I'm concerned they can keep their shitty plasticy guns.
