Things that really grind my gears: people who don't support their local stores

Well I overcharged my battery again... So I figured it's probably time for a new one and a smart charger... While I'm at it I thought I would get some ammo as well. So Monday afternoon I drove across town to BB Airsoft In Overland Park... and they are closed, the place is cleaned out and there was some painting stuff inside... I kinda thought the place was pretty nice when I was in there before, why would they clear everything out to re-paint the whole place? After getting back home for the day… Continue

Things that really grind my gears: KANSAS CITY

So I've been away from the site (and the sport for that matter) for a little while now... so sue me. I have up and moved from my home sweet home of Manhattan, KS to Kansas City, MO. I assumed finding a game every weekend (and a job) would be fairly simple but I was wrong. Here in Kansas City, there are probably enough players to get a huge team together every weekend... but there isn't one for some reason. Of course, back in Manhattan sometimes the KSUAT games would get a little thin... but 90%… Continue

Things that really grind my plastic gears: Wal-Mart/Dicks/Clear Plastic airsoft guns.

Things that really grind my gears: Part four. Disclaimer, if you are offended by this posting... then... well.... don't read it perhaps? The target audience for this is not young players who enjoy going to wal-mart for all of their airsofting needs. If your picture of your airsoft "arsenal" looks like a clear and black checkerboard, I don't really care. You have already been suckered in, and are either beyond saving or you have already realized your mistake. The target audience of this blog en… Continue

Things that really grind my gears: Airsoft Generals

Prelude. I know I promised you a rant about how Wal-Mart guns are destroying the sport, but first I have something kind of bothering me, and that is the abundance of generals here on team.airsocom. Now I realize there are no regulations on who can be a general and who gets to be a private, so there is no gear grinding as of yet. But I would like to make a recommendation on how the ranks can be used. I would also like to add that I think the rank idea is pretty cool and props to the team.airsoc… Continue

Things that really grind my gears: No HD video of airsoft games on youtube.

This one is short, but sweet. HD Video. The revolution is here. It has impacted every corner of the multimedia world. From sporting events, to news, to youtube. But airsoft on the other hand is still in the dark ages. Searching youtube for "airsoft" and "HD" yields very few results. My question to the rest of you is WHY? I know some of you guys have money, why not go out, get yourself a good camera, and let the world enjoy your games? Why is HD so important for airsoft videos you might ask? B… Continue

Things that really grind my gears: Children reviewing airsoft guns on Youtube.

Things that really grind my gears, part one. We have all seen them. You have spent days searching for that new sidearm or primary, weighing the odds, doing your homework comparing prices, etc, etc. Finally you have one picked out. It's finally time to try an AEP or a different brand. Whatever it is that you have decided you want, and it seems perfect. There is just one thing nagging at you. You have never held or seen this airsoft gun before, you need the opinions of average joes like you. You… Continue
