Crosman Pulse R76 Review


Although Crosman is a little known company when it comes to airsoft, the Pulse R76 is worth a review. The Pulse R76 is the only skirmish rated airsoft gun that Crosman makes, and is an awesome gun for the price. The ROF is very good, and the gun shoots fast and hard at 375 fps. The range is awesome, especially with a .20g bb. The gun has a rail system, and a folding stock. Semi and Full automatic work seamlessly, and the gun and clip are mostly metal. It has a metal gearbox, and wieghs 4.5 pounds. There is also an easily manuverable hop up, making this gun a great choice for the airsofter on a budget. $70-$150, at all sporting goods stores.

Great Airsoft Scenarios

If you want to amp up your airsoft games, you've come to the right place! If you're tired of playing the classic elimination scenario, try some of these!

Three Lives: Like elimination, but each person has to get shot three times to get out.

Protection: There is one person with no gun. This person is protected by the rest of his team. The object for the protecting team is to shoot everyone on the other team. The object for the attacking team is to shoot the player with no gun. The protecting team gets stronger guns than the attacking team.

Capture The Flag: Each team puts a flag on thier end of the field. The objective is to get the other team's flag and bring it to your base. Your base is also a respawn point for your team members. Your base has to be at least 150 ft. from your flag.

Havoc: No teams. Everybody shoots everyone else. Like dodgeball.

Base Siege: One team has a base. They must get everyone on the opposing team out to win. The other team must try to siege the base. To siege the base, they must stand in it for 30 seconds without bieng shot. There is no respawning.

Sniper: One team is given aegs. The other team is given a lesser amount of snipers. The snipers must get everyone out to win. The team with aegs needs to find the hiding spots of all the snipers and occupy them.

Time Bomb: Played like Elimination, but there is a set time limit. When the time is up, the team with the most kills wins.

DIY Airsoft Grenade

I found this idea on instructables.com, and it works really well.
step1: Buy a small pack of those spring-powered party poppers. Don't buy the gunpowder ones.
step2: After you pop the confetti out, pry the thing that you twist to make it shoot out of the tube. The twist thing, a spring, and a plunger thing should come out. A t shapoed stick should be on the end of the twist trigger.
step3: Push the plunger down onto the t shaped stick and turn it, so the plunger stays down.
Step4: Put the tube back on, and load some bbs through the top. Twist the trigger to fire a huge burst of 20-50 bbs. Have fun! :)

Great Bargain Guns

Most people don't want to pay $600 on an airsoft gun, and I know just the solution. Great bargain guns are pretty easy to find, and stand up to thier more expensive brethren easily. try to go with a company like Cyma, or Echo1. These companies replicate more expensive guns, commonly made by Tokyo Marui, and sell them less than half the price. Other companies include JG, UTG, Double Eagles, and Galaxy. The replicated guns can vary from bad to good, so make sure to read reviews before buying. a great place to buy the gun you want is airsoftgi.com,or hobbytron.com

where to play airsoft


This post is only for airsoft beginners. If you play airsoft already, skip this post. For those who are still reading, try to find a good paintball field in your phone book. Paintball places are everywhere, and many of them host airsoft battles. If you can't find a paintball place that has regular battles, you can check the internet for other ways to play. Get all your friends and nieghbors involved. All you need to get started is a springer pistol, a friend, and some goggles, and it just goes from there. If you want to play against random people, like in a skirmish, I suggest getting a nice aeg, at least a TM replica, so you don't get owned by everyone else.

Beretta 92fs review


This review is for my only springer pistol. The gun is fairly heavy, and shoots at 307 fps. The magazine is easy to load, and clicks in nicely with no wobble. You can use .12g or .20g bbs without any trouble, and this pistol's size is perfect for any battle. The gun rarely ever jams, unless you cock it more than once. I fought a 3v4 battle and owned, even though the opposing team had a kid with a 410 fps aeg. This is the perfect side arm for springer fans, but lacks great accuracy with a .12g bb, and doesn't go extremely far with a .20g bb. It hasn't broken on me over the time it's been around, and it was one of my first guns. I would recommend the non-clear version of this gun, because it looks really cool :) All in all, i would give this gun 3 1/2 stars out of five, a pretty good buy. costs around $30

Eye Protection


Always wear eye protection. I knew a kid who got shot in the eye... he almost went blind, and he could've gotten a blood clot and died. To avoid a crappy situation like this, buy a paintball mask at a sporting goods store. Make sure the mask is anti-fog, and can stand up to everything your gun can dish out. You can always get a good deal at a store like Dick's or Dunhams.
