Is golf like this? At least golfists are wealthy old men with spoiled blond daughters... ahem, but I'm not.

I dunno how I manage it, I guesstimate I have 1100 euro in one corner of my room, thats 4 aegs, a grenade launcher and a pistol in holster, and that doesn't include the pistols in their boxes in cupboards, any of my tools, spares, and gear or magazines.

And I think I have a relatively sparce collection, I sell most of what I don't need, and generally use all of what I have (sometimes) for games. I know how easy it would be with some surplus cash to just get that akm I want, get that dragunov, get that new set of russian gear, get hand grenades, jesus, the list goes on.

Is golf like this? We do use small white balls and wear funny clothes outdoors, I think it is a bit golf like, note to self, never try golf.

If it was like golf can you imagine the sort of airsoft field you could build on a golf course sized bit of land with a few hundred people paying €2k per year for membership?

Just wondering are people including there skirmish money ?

If so then I'll have to add another €250 onto my amount spent.

Haven't included skirmish money or any sort of travel/accommodation money, but we really don't want to go there ...

Lets just say ... see that last poll option? Without airsoft kit? ..... yeah. Easily.

ricka

€1,000,000

Thought it was a little past 3k but I was wrong.
I'm past the 10,300 Euro mark at this stage add another half grand onto some upcoming purchases.
(Its only a rough guess with a an average pistol at 150 Euro and an AEG being 180-200 for normal
stuff and a bit extra for the special stuff)

I want more but some stuff does not exist in airsoft.

When I started collecting airsoft guns, It was because I reckoned I could not afford to buy
de-activated stuff and it would be hassle, I also figured I could never afford the real steel rifle I wanted.
Turns out the real steel rifle a Sako TRG 22 in Green would have only cost 3450 Euros!

Bullets could do his own version of that and put that pic to shame. He needs a panoramic lens to fit all the stuff in.

I suspect you would need most of a tennis court to lay your collection out as well!

I've sold a good bit of my kit over the years though. It's just mainly the high end stuff I've left now and a load of pistols. I had to start downsizing, the bedroom floor was starting to buckle.:D

I'd say if I took away the money I got back on sales versus what I've spent it total it wouldn't look so bad. Still off my head though.:)

Tis very very very scary how much we all spent on airsoft!
I bought a house a few years ago (1999) and am still waiting to
save up to get a wall either side of my back garden, and dont have some rooms carpeted or painted propper. Yet
I've managed to pay for most of my impulse airsoft buys!

Next sunny day and once I get my latest orders in I will
try and update the family airsoft pic. Last time I needed to take the photo hanging out of my upstairs window. so may need to take two photos and merge them next time.

There are a few others that post here that have more Airsoft gear than me! One person who lives about less than a km from me had a ton of gear, but I cant remember their user name. Hightower looks like he has a serious amount of Kit as does Pudding, Masada I'm not sure what his quantities are like, would love to see people post group pics of all their gear!!!

will try post a pic of mine the weekend weather permitting!

deco nate

but they would have to be in pic,just to be sure its there gear,or they could just get a loan of mates gear to big them elfs up...you know your an old fart
when you start thinkin like i do;):p:D

Airsoft as any sport or hobby is expensive and not for everyone. you could easily loose track of your money, but how you spend it defines you. like the good gerrowadat even has a real deal vehicle which easily tops most of us, puding hes ak/russian loadouts is 2nd to none,lemmings ww2 gearcollection.lito of terrelstown has 70+ aegsss.bibuyTDK 2 systema real deal T1 and eotech,everything real from ranger plate,KA and Zahal ris,multicams etc.plus bergetx3 and 1x lion claw.ozcam as the name ausie gears,masada and cris technicians extraordenaire.our local retailers whom mostly quit theyre day job to start airsoft bussiness-sorry for the unmentioned many.

as for me after 3 yrs had 10 aegs sold or given away for my team and now 1 systema.
uniforms-8 sets of real deal bdus plus corresponding real vest,lbe.
provisions given to team mate from sacks of bbs to aeg to uniforms.
boots-4,grey black tan,real issue.
accesories of real eotechs, to KA and magpuls to pelican,tactical tailor,5.11s and list goes on..

but the real lesson here for the noobs and student (i was once ask in ratbeggan by a young fella "how can you afford these gears"refering to my systema and me being asian.-i answered back WORK YER FEEKING ASS....

I'm missing a Scar that Fired over the limit I tried to take it apart to cut the spring which broke my snips and not the spring, I never put the thing backtogether again.

There should be a new option for the Poll that says "My name is Bullets and I own this thread".

Just out of curiosity, what gun is this?

Its a clone of the Maruzen APS-3.
The Maruzen one seems to be always out of stock
and is about 295 USD.

Think the clone I got was from Well P-362 for about 50 bucks. If you want something very accurate and single shot try find the Maruzen one, as the clone is not great.

Support guns. Of the non-m249 variety

*cough*cough*Gympie*cough*


Pardon me, had sudden coughing fit there ...

Dont actually like the M249 I would prefer the M60
but at the time I went to buy once Tony from eirsoft just ran out of stock. I also missed out on the RS SVD so had to settle for an A&K.

I need more Guns with Wood! some WWII stuff, AKS type also, and a more modern F2000 and maybe an FNC. Need to get another WA Pistol at some stage too, they are just fantastic things. I dont have G3 yet either nor a FAMAS.

If I ever get a Bren Gun MK111, an SMLE and a Carl Gustav SMG then I will be happy! I know there crowd in England used to make custom Brens but very pricey.

Holy sh1t Bullets.

But it's ok - you've come to the right place. We've identified the problem now, and it's clear that you want help. Step One is admitting that you have a problem, it's ok - we're here for you.

Hang on a minute - this isn't airsoft anon!

Nice collection.

Remember that bit in Beverly Hills Cop where Eddie Murphy closes the door in Billy Rosewood's bedroom to reveal a gun rack?
Well "Bullets ... we need to talk"

missing star ump, ares g36c, lct Rpk47, m249 para, vfc hk416 ow and one g18 yes that right all that and i only own one pistol ( i swear i forgot something )

all i have to say is ''my name is chris and im an airsoftaholic''

MerryDespot

FFS!!!!!
Right now all I'm thinking is that if anyone could see in the window of your place with that lot on display Puding the ERU would be winging it's way out to you!
Outstanding collection though. I must do something similar with my lot, though I don't think I've quite got to your level yet...

Yeah, for a pick up and stock take.
The ERU probably don't have that much hardware themselves.:D
