So, your folks go away and leave you alone for two weeks, and the first thing you do is go out and buy a select-fire airsoft assault rifle?

Why are they going to be mad? Because they don't like guns, or because they'd be afraid you'll put someone's eye out? Those of us old enough to have grown up with Daisy BB guns will understand that reference.

Aside from that (because it looks like it's got a 302 FPS muzzle velocity--which would be enough to put someone's eye out) the only thing that would **** me off would be if you left airsoft pellets all over the tile floors to step on and slip on. The only thing worse was when my kids (who are now adults with their own children) would leave Legos scattered around for me to step on in bare feet, in the dark, in the middle of the night, on the way to the bathroom.

Looks like a lot of fun to me. You have to decide for yourself on the consequences of keeping it or taking it back.

lol, no there is no compass.. and the secondary fire-arm was a peice of crap... and as for me gettin in trouble, i have no idea. no one has ever mentioned having a gun was good or bad.. let alone even thought id go out and buy one the first day im alone lol and i kno what you mean by the lego things.... i did it all the time, but i did it on purpose xD. AND the daisy BB gun i never knew about till we were lookin at the guns and there was some daisy BB guns on the top shelf... my buddy couldnt resist and said the same thing hahaha. but he was makin fun of me cause he was able to get his shootin before i could. his little battery only needed 2 hours of charging and mine needs 4-5 so i decided not charge it till tomarrow, had to leave early and get back to the doggies and make sure they didnt tear the house apart. srry if im just ramblin on.... kinda still tryin to work off the energy drinks from a while ago. but hey since its wednsday thought id be the first one to say

HAPPY HUMP DAY! good mornin. stay safe today... i kno i wont

haha, Joe, I know what you mean. The other day i was running for the phone, and decided to go through my 7 yrold daughters room, sigh, it was a land mine field

Got about 3 steps, and it felt like i impaled my bare foot with some stupid pointed barbie princess thing a ma bob, needless to say, the neighbors probably heard me haha.

I remember my old man buying me a daisy bb gun when i was 5, not to the liking of my mom haha. Its all how you are raised towards guns. I was rasied to respect them, and not be a dumb a$$ with them. I wanna get some air soft guns, as it gets expensive "playing" or shoud i say practicing, with the real M4, and the AK for when the SHTF. Iam in the market for a small 22rifle with a scope for my daughter right now.


Anyways, I did it, I PASSED EMISSIONS!!! WOO HOO!!!!! I am still goign to get a tune up, but all my mechanic did was mess with the timing a little bit, i think 26degs (i could be wrong, as i have even no idea what that even means haha), but it passed with flying colors!!!

So, now i can rest a little easier till next year, and cruise with my historic plates in ease!!

I hope everyone has a blessed day. The radio said its only gonna get to 103 in phx. today. Lets hope so!

Matt
