One of my friends was big into airsoft, and kept trying to get me to try it. I always said no. Why? I don't like the idea of "shooting" anything at my friends. Just doesn't seem right, somehow.

They are fun though!! I had one for a day (until it broke) and 5 friends and I went at it. If you wear a paintball mask or saftey glasses...you'll be just fine.

The guns are only $20 and 2,000 pellets are $5. 2,000 pellets will last a looooong time!

I think air-soft and paint balling is AWESOME!! Now, only if I could get my dad to let me. I already have the guns and everything. Oh well!! I keep trying. But no, it isn't a waste of money or time.

Just saw this. Yes, they're an enormous waste of time. . . I've got 4 myself and the wife and I have been known to waste quite a bit of time with them in the winter. When It's just to cold to play with the Super Soaker 3000's. Nothing strengthens the marital bond and builds husband and wife teamwork like a good old fashioned ambush on a neighbor.

My 18 year old son has several of them. Yes they are a waste of time but so is tons of stuff that we all do. I think for the most part they are harmless fun. My son and son in law were playing with them one day when my son in law said "if you shoot your self in the foot, I will do the same". My boy takes the gun and shoots him self in the foot and after jumping around and whining a bit hands the gun to the my son in law who promptly shoots my son in the foot. I'm shure this was lost in the translation, but it was very funny to see.
