Wanting to try something new.....

So....I've always been into military jets and sniper rifles, but I know that i can't be a fighter pilot nor a sniper in real life since my eye sights are not perfect.....
and also the risks of been a fighter pilot or sniper

Since I can't be a pilot, I just play flight simulation, which I'm pretty good at.
I fly everyday and I posted a few videos before.

For sniper.....can't buy a gun yet and sniper rifles are....expensive
I've been looking into airsoft since beginning of last year.
What is airsoft?
Airsoft is....well....in general...people shooting at each other with guns that fires 6mm rounded plastic rounds called BBs.
The BBs are fired by springs, air or gas depends on what ever the gun is powered by.

Last year, I was pretty much just dreaming about it since I didn't have enough money to buy anything. As the result, I started saving money, buy less or used games and so on.
I also checked a few local stores around my area and came across Airsoft GI and Evike.
They are both pretty big and famous, carrying many different types of guns from many big and small airsoft companies. I couldn't decide which gun I should get so I looked through the entire inventory......yes....entire inventory....

The first gun I saw was this modified M4

It's only $170 but the outside is completely plastic which gives it a crappy feel.
The FPS is pretty low, so the range for this gun is short, and I will eventually upgrade it.
So why spent extra on upgrading a plastic gun when you can get a nice full metal Airsoft Eletric Gun?

I waited a few more months and found this really nice gun that I'll never need to upgrade.
The Daniel Defense SOPMOD rifle from Socom Gear.

Now....this gun is $350, but it's full metal and comes with a flash hider that amplifies the sound.
This gun fires at 440FPS gives it a pretty good range.
The highest FPS you can go up to in airsoft events is 500FPS.
This means that I don't need to upgrade this gun.
This one also looks much better than the previous one.

Now....lets go back in time for a bit.
I asked my mom can I play airsoft a few months before, she said it's okay as long as I wear protection gears.
So then I asked my cousin can I buy the gun since he's pretty much the one who's taking care of me. He told me his fine but I have to ask my mom and then my aunt (I live with my aunt). I called my mom she said no......so...I was kinda mad since....she said yes on playing but no on buying the guns and renting a gun = not possible. After a few minutes of debating, she said she'll talk to my cousin, then now my cousin told me that my aunt has to say yes. My aunt wasn't home for the passed few days since she went back to Taiwan and just came back. I think I'll ask her sometime between now and Sunday and hopefully she'll say yes.........

Between the time.....I was still looking and other guns, specially the sniper rifles.
There was one that I've always loved but sold out way before I started looking.
That's right, my favorite sniper rifle, DSR-1.
Apparently, both Airsoft GI and Evike restocked it few days ago.....so right now....I want to get the DSR-1.

It's made by ARES in HongKong and ARES is the ELITE or 1337 for those of you.......at making airsoft sniper rifles. They also made the Cheytac Intervention M-200 and the PGM.

Well....anyway.....the gun costs $800...only have $400 right now....
We'll see what will happen....
