Hello from MO!

Hello fellow Airsofters. I linked into this site from the airsoftsniper.com website, and I must say I'm impressed with the professionalism I see here. This is the first airsoft forum I've joined since getting into the hobby a year ago. I, like a lot of others, started out by buying a cheap Daisy springer pistol from Walmart and then advanced on as more of my friends and family members became involved. Due to this background, I detest websites which rudely degrade players who start out with these cheap guns. Not everyone can afford a TM to get started, and not everyone is a combat vet.

I've just made my first real airsoft purchase: Echo 1 Socom16 M14. My other weapons include the Crosman Nightprowler, KWC Smith&Wesson CO2 pistol, AirMag M50 CO2 Mac11 clone, a cheap M4 clone from the local wholesale store (not sure the make), and a Crosman MP5.

I primarily play on my own property, which along with my adjacent inlaws total 8 wooded acres in rural MO. I look forward to sharing information in the future with others. My primary job is Chief of Emergency Medical Services, so frequently network with law enforcement tactical teams in my area. Some of my experiences here my apply to the airsoft field as well.

Be Safe Out There,

Rob aka "Painkiller"

welcome to the forum...how do u like the echo 1 m14 im thinking about buying one in the future

Welcome to the forum may the BB's be with you... LOL

Welcome to the forums

Thanks for your comments, you sound pretty proffesional yourself.

See you around.

I haven't got the M14 in yet. I just ordered it on Christmas Eve from Trinity Airsoft, so I'm anticipating it early this week. I'll let you know how it goes when I try it out.

Right on. As has been stated many times on this Forum, by ADMN, Sticks, or any other Pro here, we have ALL started somewhere, and many of the best have started out using the Crosman Springers. Whether they're using a Systema PTW or CA G36 doesn't matter. They started out somewhere just like you and I have.

Oh yeah, Welcome to the Forums.

I started with a 50 cent UK arms pistol I got from a fair that broke the same day I got it so don't feel bad and it might be a good idea to twist the truth on other forums about the weapons you have (I have gotten banned from ASF for having a TSD M14) so now I have a TM m14 >_>. you do sound pretty professional I have to admit.

also tell my how the m14 is PM or something because I'm looking into one.

Welcome aboard, Glad to have you,

I will admit, for me the most appealing asspect of the forum is the laid back attitude, everybody pretty much follows the banner,

No Hating, No Politics

Hope you enjoy your Stay

WARNING: stay on Slobs good side....if you don't there could be H*** to pay. He's the meanest MOD on here, just do what he says and everything will be fine....

No Slob is a great member of the forums, and can usually keep the mood in any topic in top shape. I think, the best part of this forum, and what keeps it going and makes it as great as it is, is the Moderators. IMO, we have some of the best MODS around. nice, have a sense of humor, and know the sport VERY well.
