Who plays? I know I can't be the only one who does this stuff here! What kind of guns do you guys use, do you guys play urban or woods, etc? |

I play paintball. I use an AutoMag and an OLD Spyder with a bunch of Java parts on/in it...oddly enough, the Spyder is the most accurate paintball gun I've ever used. I usually play woods/scenario games, but speedball/ctf is fun too.

Funny you mention Spyder. I was about to buy my cousin's from him but I decided against it since none of my friends paintball. I've heard they're great though. |

I used to Airsoft with some of my buddies. We'd usually play in the creek that runs behind their houses, or sometimes set up some cover play in the street (the neighbors were used to it I guess).
Most of their armorments were cheap, plastic, spring-powered, clear plastic-made guns that sold for $25 at Big5. They were usually M9's, short M4's, AK47's, and the occasional PPK. They usually had a large number of them per person, so it was Quantity over Quality. Only a few of the older kids had electrics, and even then they were cheap.
I, on the other hand, proved superior technology bred superior results, so my more higher quality weapons just killed them all. I was a collector who wanted the most unique weapons, so I found the AK and M4 too common for my tastes, but the only people willing to step out of those designs were the high-end people (catch 22, I guess). I started out with a P90, saved up and got a G36C, got a real cheap mid-quality XM8, and was saving up for this Tokyo Mauru FAMAS G1 before the trend sort of ended.
I only tried paintball once. Everyone was too competitive, it started seeming like they wanted to be pros, and not looking for some fun. |

In stock form Spyders are usually the crappiest guns on earth, but the company has been making guns based on the same model for soooooo long that there are millions of hop up parts for them. Easy to pick up a $50 Spyder, put $200 into it, and be competitive with Autocokers and Angels.
I just like having fun! Serious paintballers make me giggle. |

I myself Airsoft a lot with friends. Just recently bought a JG G36C, and I love it to death. Used to have an AK and it was too big and heavy for my style so I bought the G36C. Gone through numerous pistols. Play at least once a month now, in the various woods around my friends houses/my house. I've been paintballing for a while too, got into it a while ago. Haven't been in a long time though. Looking to get my own gun. I just love the thrill of it. |

Given the pistol grip on it, I'd assume pre .
As soon as I have money I'm buying an M1 Garand. I could get some swiss milsurp bolt-action for much cheaper (buddy of mine got a K98 for like $90), but I need a nazi-killer. |

I got a 98 I think it is, can't remember exactly, but it cost like $400, a lot cheaper than pistols. I shot an M1 recently though, and it was awesome. |

It's neither since the ban expired in 2004 giving all rifles whether made before 1994, during the AWB, or after, the same legal status. |

My Roommate works for Dye Precision Inc. working on research and delvelopment. For those who don't know, Dye is pretty much THE premiere paintball company. I've played a few times with him, its fun. |

What an ass, where you not wearing a mask? Worst hit I ever took was a direct shot to the top of the head from a frozen paintball...had to go get 4 stitches. :/ I hate losers who freeze their paint. |

Worst hit in paintball was probably when I got hit in the facemask and it went through the slots to breathe out of and into my mouth. Worst in airsoft was probably in the butt by a green gas gun my friend has. |
