its military simulation really....seriously we scare the shit out of the paintballers when we are at the outdoor fields...everyone is FULLY decked in camo, tac vests, warpaint, and everyones holding M4's AK47's and glocks. Rounds last hours...one hit and your done man. There is something unexplainable about the feeling you get trying to run as fast as you can to the next spot of cover with a hail of bullets spraying past you.....its fucking intense:thumbsup:
Half the fun of airsoft is deckin' yerself out in the gear:bigpimp:

So do you guys shoot Simunition (like police training), or actual metal BB's?? And what is the fps for those??
JAYMEZ
03-03-2005, 01:20 AM
We do swat and police training for the Indoors , and for the outdoors we go Military.
And we use 0.20g - 0.30 Graphite BBs , FPS indoors 300fps , and for outdoors around 400-500 ish.. Sniper rifles shoot high FPS.
For indoors for JOC , we do not use full auto , unless you have a MAC 11 , then you can go crazy , but for outdoor , full auto is ok.
but join up on http://www.jocairsoft.com/

that stuff looks hardcore/ navy seal ish
what are those guns worth?
how do u play?
one hit your done? or what
how bad does the ammo hurt?
Not too bad... I have a Glock 17 springer and my buddy has an H&K 9mm gas blowback.
To get into a good airsoft gun is usually around $400 or so.
SEALS in Calgary has a great selection, and some of the surplus stores have the spring loaded airsoft guns kicking around too. The Shooting Edge has a few airsoft as well, but most of the stuff is real... heh... :D

Damn! This stuff wants me to get into it. Looks and sounds so cool. But i only got a freakin spring loading pistol. Guess that wouldnt work too well!
Hey, if you can aim, you got a fair shot. it only takes one.

There are definitely a lot of people that do it, Kenc is a good friend of mine, he owns and operates his own airsoft business in Calgary. If you are interested in buying or learning about it (clubs etc.) you should definitely pay him a visit. He's a great guy and very enthusiastic about getting more people into it: www.007Airsoft.com (http://www.007Airsoft.com )

with all the gear on do you even feel the bb?, or does it still hurt like a mother?, whats it like compared to a paint ball?
JAYMEZ

Its about the same pain as a paint ball , but we dont wear full masks , so you can get bleeders very easily.
As for gun prices , you are looking around $300 for a good hand gun , and $400 - $6000 yes $6000 for guns.
As for springers , you want to stay away from those , they shoot about 125 FPS , and are really only good as a back up gun..
I currently play with an ICS m4 , USP compact handgun , knife... its good for indoor , but for outdoor ill be lookin at playing with , m4 , Defender shotgun , 2 hand guns , and about 9-10 mags..
And for buying guns , 007airsoft , Rangers airsoft , JOC has some good second hand ones for sale right now.
But the thing with Airsoft , dont buy a gun unless you are going to play , because Police will take them away from you , they are real life sized replicas... but replicas are illegal ... but replicas cant shoot ..so Airsoft guns fall under a BB gun , but they arent.... so as you can see its in the grey area.

Do they need to be registered then?? How do you go about not getting your stuff jacked by CPS?? I would love to buy one (Walther P99 rep), and would use it occasionally, but not hardcore.....

how do u know if u have shot sum1? i guess this game really relies on honestly eh...
BigDL
03-03-2005, 09:12 PM
Its sure relies on honor, however if you shoot someone they dont call a hit, shoot them again. If they still dont call their hit shoot them even more ;) well at least thats what i do.
JAYMEZ
03-03-2005, 10:23 PM
^^ Yup exactly DL.. All about Honesty , we get alot of the older crowd out for JOC , and if people dont call hits , we boot them from the club , we keep a very close community. But usually if someoen doesnt call hits , shoot them until they bleed LOL.
About registering , maybe....
But the guns are technically illegal , and if you wave it around , it will get taken away , and a police officer will not know if its a real or not ,because they are the exact same... so if you put your gun up towards the officer , they could easily shoot you.:guns:

Hey Jaymez.
Where are these games held here in Calgary? Fees to enter and stuff? Where do I show up if I wanna play for some time? I wouldnt mind showing up with my springer just for fun. I wouldnt want to go buy an expensive one and end up not liking the sport. That would be a waste. Any details would be helpful. Thanks man.

Go to www.jocairsoft.com, there is a sign up thread/section for all our games :P. For indoor its at lazer trek as stated above i believe. Its $15 fee for indoor games, and you can rent a gun to see if you do like the sport. Just go check out the fourms for more info :P.
It's great to see so many responses regarding an airsoft thread :)
My name is Ken and I founded the first successful airsoft club in Calgary back in 1998. Visit my website for lots of info about airsoft equipments, you can also reach me at

The JOC website is great as well and you can make lots of airsoft friends there :)
Welcome to airsoft in Calgary.
