It Takes More Than Combat Gear To Make A Man


Many people have weird hobbies. What is mine you ask? Airsoft. I like to dress up as a soldier and shoot other people with fake guns. Airsoft started over in Japan. Japan has very strict guns laws and you cant posses a real firearm ( This is as far as I know. Correct me if I am wrong.) And BOOM we get Tokyo Mauri which was one of the first airsoft manufactuers. It has been around in the U.S. for sometime but it isnt too popular. I'm sure most of you have seen a dumb springer that your little brother has. I am no where near that. That gun runs off a spring that you pull back to load. The guns that I have and use are runs off batterys that power motors that make the gun fire making my gun capable of shooting in fully automatic and single fire. I play with UCA (Utah County Airsoft) this is the website http://utahairsoft.org/. We have games about every month. UCA plays by the country system. Meaning we have groups that dress up depending on the country they are playing for. The Americans wear American camo, The German's wear German camo, etc. I am currently on the U.S. team. I've been playing for almost 3 years now and have had so much fun. If anyone would like to know more about it feel free to talk to me or look at the UCA website.
