    Airsoft is great, why all the hate. IMO it's way better for milsim/woods play than paintball is. It's less expensive too. My buddy is getting into it and just bought 20k bbs for $20. HFC bbs too, not crappy ones. The problem is that it isn't widely played and there aren't as many places to play it. However, it is way superior to paintball for playing woods games and the like.

        It is all about the pain for me. It drives me to be better. Some times I'm a bloody bruised mess after a long day of paintball, but I feel alive. I like the thrill, the rush of being out on the airball field. I don't get anything like that for an airsoft gun.

            Everybody's own niche gives them there thrills. Like race car drivers, tuner's, and such. I mean I love milsim stuff it remind's me of being a Marine. The full face paint, realistic weapons, scenario, tactic's and all that jazz.

            I mean its not everyday that you say that you hanging off the bottom of a Huey by a rope, or running through the MOUT facillity at Pendleton jumping through windows and kicking in doors.

            But thats not the only thing that get's my jolly's off

                Like Caltral said, they're in a strategic agreement with palco.

                What does this means?
                They won't be manufactoring their own airsoft equipment or anything like that, instead they'll be slapping their name on the "Firepower" brand of airsoft spring pistols and low-end AEGs.

                I was excited about the prospect of Tippmann churning out some of their own AS products aswell, so I called Palco (a company I do regular business with) and was told that they'd more or less just swooped the Firepower name and replaced it with their own.

                Sad to say, firepower is VERY low end right now, maybe in the future Tippmann will step in and turn that around, but for the time being I wouldn't start getting your hopes up just yet.
