I recently joined an airsoft indoor arena near me. I go there and have had a blast. It stings a little to get shot but it's definitely a blast. It is cheaper to shoot my Colt M4 airsoft rifle than it is to shoot my Smith and Wesson AR15 rifle, but shooting the real thing is still more fun. This year I have joined a womens shooting club.
For airsoft I have multiple authentic replica guns, my colt m4, a thompson m1 sub machine gun, a KMP machine pistol, a colt 1911 replica and my personal airsoft favorite a walther ppk (so I can take enemies out of the match hit man style)
. The quality and realism to airsoft is astonishing, real wooden stocks, metal construction, full auto modes, blowback actions, functioning bolt/charging handle, etc. I couldn't even fathom a guess as what a Real live fully auto Thompson would cost but I am guessing 25-35k? So this is fun without breaking the bank!
Tomorrow is a red letter day for me. I have my qualifying shooting in the women's club (using my .357 magnum) and later I am going to do airsoft, so Sunday I can lay in bed and tend to my BB bumps
