    dont let anyone do this in your home , decided to clean my new m4 yesterday that was grand, barrel was in bits ,then stupidly loaded a full mag and took a few pot shots at a card board box ,about 20ft down range adjusted the hop up still no problems bbs hitting centre of my make shift target, now step in my girl friend who wants to try my new m4 slightly powerful m4 at that ,pops off 2 rounds way off but actuly hit the box ,so i leave the make shift range for a split second G/F then opens up on full auto on the box :mad: :mad: now she claims every bb hit the target ,until i take a closer look :mad: :mad: i find 30 odd bbs lodged into the wall 3/4 of the bbs in the wall, then she tells her mother oh by the way is her house ,who was not impressed one bit .now i have an m4 and a wall to plaster and repaint before the end of the week, so let this be a lesson dont leave a loaded weapon with anybody

    That's a bummer man :( I cracked a window with a misfiring AEG, lucky it was my own window.

    I'm sorry but, ha ha ha ha!

    Oh mercy. Why don't you make her plaster the wall?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,097 ✭✭✭IRISH RAIL


    how about slipping on the thousands of bbs on the floor:rolleyes:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,163 ✭✭✭✭Boston


    So you're trying to tell me, learning to plaster was a good thing?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,458 ✭✭✭✭gandalf


    fs just tell her its Airsoft Stipple effect. All we need is Lawrence Lwyelln Bowen to spray a wall on one of those sad makeover shows and they'll be begging you to blast the crap out of the wall :)

    its easy to do, since all the damage is bb indentations, you just use a scraper and readymix filler,sand and paint,only takes a hour or 2,
    i had to do that to large part of my wall already

    wonder how much it would cost to put 2 mm sheet steel up? the ricochets might be a bitch though

    you'd be surprised at how much a BB can richochet .... myself and Rew discovered this, to my amusement at least, when fixing the feeder tube for my M60 the other week ...... we were standing at the crates at the back of the tanker field, and test fired - the bbs were richochetting off the small forklift thingy at close range and hitting us. Well, hitting Rew more than me :p

    We have a side entrance to the house, I was at the end of the wee laneway, and was seeing if I could hit the padlock on the door the other end, hit it, BB ricocheted'ded (what?) right back and hit me in the face.

    Didn't stop me doing it another 8 times though.

    i find some women can shoot straighter than most men ,any way this is being hijacked by the anti women group get your own thread,
    silverfish was out in the back garden earlier had a richochet off the backwall and fly back and hit a downstairs window a round trip of nearly 60ft for the bb,no more shooting till HRTA something is going to break me thinks

    Not so much a tale of destruction, as pure stupidity. I was showing my mate my new GBB m1911. Handed it to him, he cocks it, fires off a few shots. Admires his handywork on the carboard target at the bottom of the garden and holsters it in his pocket. Collapses silently to the floor as a .2 pellet slams firmly into his right leg point blank. Came about an inch from a shattered testicle.

    Methinks a cup should be mandatory for any people thinking of becoming an airsoft gunslinger.


    As bad as it is, I'm still laughing as I type this. Haven't stopped in a good 2 hours. My cheeks are so sore it's brilliant. :D

    THAT GOTTA HURT ,that made my day :D:D:D:D

    Similar act of stupidity only the other day. A friend of mine came over to collect something and had never seen my collection of aeg's and gbb's before. He saw them on my couch (which hasn't been used for sitting since it became the house gun rack last month) and immediately started messing. He picked up an MP5 and started doing the usual actions people do when they pick up an aeg for the first time. Next thing he wanted to pop off a few shots at something so I picked up a large cardboard box and loaded a mag. While I was doing this he knocked over a, thankfully, almost empty bottle of bb's. I handed him the MP5 (probably the most stupid thing I could have done) while I went to get the hoover.
    The next thing I hear from the living room was a loud thud and a shout. I ran in to find my mate lying in a heap on the floor with the MP5 halfway across the room. Turned out he tried to do a room entry by running in from the hall and forgot there was bb's all over the laminate floor. He slipped and went head first into a chair.

    A beautiful moment

    A good while back, I came back from HRTA exhausted (I'd been awake over 24 hours). I dropped onto the bed as soon as I got in, and promptly fell asleep for the next 8-10 hours.
    When I woke up, the first thing I realised was that my right thigh/hip was really sore. When I checked it out, I found I had slept on 3 bb's that had now partially embedded themselves into my skin (rather scary looking indentations when they were removed!).

    I must have been shot with a few bb's and they fell inside my clothing.

    got the loan of a mates mp7, was well impressed. My Mrs' sis was up for the wknd while i was firin off a few bb's across the landing from the spare room into a cardboard box filled with paper.she asked to hav a go so i said no prob.:( first couple of shots no prob, as soon as she put it in auto whole different ballgame. didn't see any new holes in the cardboard box but a few nice small dents in the side of the bathtub (plastic side pannel). It'll be our little secret, what my Mrs' doesnt know won't hurt me ;)

    Never. Never and I mean Never let anyone other then your missus hold your weapon.
    Ignore that, and anything that happens afterwards is your own fault.:)
