I don't live in the city but Detroit (not flint) is actually getting better, the crime is still way up though. But slowly and surely it is going down.

Sadly airsoft is not permitted in The Netherlands. I did have a bb gun a few years back though

. I also made a paitball cannon once.
It used regular PVC tubes so soon things that weren't metal were shot too. Screws went through multiplex

I wish everyone could play airsoft because it is really fun. But that cannon sounds awesome xD

Who's the idiot who allowed BB guns but not airsoft? BB gun BBs are made of metal, and shoot them at dangerous speeds. Airsoft uses plastic BBs at safe speeds.
Anyways, some dude at UPS screwed up. They sent one of my packages, containing my speedloader, to my local post office here. Then they sent it out again. To New Jersey. To be given to USPS. And it was the exact same city in NJ it had been to get to my town. Brilliant.
But on the bright side, I'm getting my other package, the one with my airsoft gun, mask, and BBs a day early, tomorrow.

Stupid UPS

. And they probably allow BB guns because they are used for hunting too, while airsoft is just for shooting at people. But seriously only stupid people get really hurt in airsoft (people that refuse to wear safety goggles)

Well they're not that kind of BB's. They're just the plastic things you can get at the fair which shoot plastic BB's. Even they are not really allowed here, you can have them but you can't buy them or import them.

oh, that explains it xD

Ok that makes sense now. But still I disagree with banning them, you know?

Yeah, people like those ruin stuff for all of us.

Anyways I got my gear in today! (Although my speedloader sent to NJ is out for delivery right now, so no delays on that)
The gun's pretty awesome. It fires faster than I expected and it's a real-steel weight, so it feels nice to hold. The mask is cool, and the BBs I got were really good. If anyone wants to see what I ordered, feel free to ask. I'm just too lazy to post all of it

u/alexgt December 22, 2015, 01:53:11 AM

Well seriously hurt

Well in that case, I don't plan to, thanks

u/alexgt December 22, 2015, 05:07:48 AM

Yeah, staying away from serious injury is usually best

I am 3D Printing up allot of chain mail to use as body armour, it should work well.

Oh nice! I'll probably just wear a jacket when I go airsofting, if I ever decide to go to an arena around here.
