I haven't played Airsoft for a few years now. But man was it great fun! These days I only have a few single-shot airsoft guns though, so if I were to go for a shooting session it would probably be with a paintball gun. The pain from getting hit really makes you think about your tactics.

I play and do the photos for a small woodland site called Matlock Combat Games in the UK,

 

I have a very custom G&G GR15,

 

its got a

systema gearbox

hight tourqe motor,

tight bore barrel

King arms hop

7.4 lipo with deans connectors

 

Fires at aroud 330 FPS

 

I also have a TM M9 pistol

Never played airsoft, but have friends that do.  Played paintball a few times and loved it.  Cool thing about airsoft though is that I had a friend who had an airsoft AR-15 with rails and lights and more stuff than I have on my real one.  Anyway, he gave me a light, and it actually fit on the picatinny rails on my real AR-15, so the outside dimensions on a lot of them are very close to the real thing, which I find cool.

As someone who knows little about it.  I know what paintballing is (love it) but what is airsoft?  I assumed BBGuns, but surely you don't go running around shooting each other with those???

Yep, you do.

What about paintball vs. airsoft? Which is easier for the beginning? And which is more painful? ;)

I would probably say that paintball is both easier to get in to and the more painful.

It's not painful if you have some clothes on, the worst is maybe feeling a pinch. And you're wearing plastic glasses to protect your eyes.

 

I do paintball in jeans and thicker, full sleeve shirts.  Still hurts like a bitch (albeit briefly)

Oh sure, paintball hurts. But due to the BB pellet's size and weight compared to a paintball, it's much easier for it to get stopped without causing much pain. I've taken a couple of bruises from a paintball gun (for example, when the paintball doesn't explode on impact) but can't remember getting hurt from airsoft.

My friend tried to convince me to do airsoft but meh, with all the money spent on it I could buy me a real firearm and yes I know you can't shoot your friends with real guns. I'm more of a steel shooter/paper puncher than I am a person that wants to shoot people with plastic bb's.

    • Zed 1.7.2 has landed with updated OpenCode models, bug fixes and other improvements by David Uzondu Zed 1.7.2 recently landed on the stable release channel, bringing a host of AI-related features including automatic context compaction and settings-based skill management, along with other things like better Markdown preview rendering and custom git commands in the graph view. Starting with the AI stuff, the developers introduced "/compact", a command that basically summarizes your conversation history on demand. This tool prevents your active chat window from hitting token limits by compressing older parts of the dialogue into a brief overview. In addition to that, the team relocated skill management to the settings UI, improving how the application communicates errors regarding those skills, and updated the OpenCode model roster to support DeepSeek V4 Flash, MiniMax M3, Qwen 3.7 Plus, and Nemotron 3 Ultra Free. External agent users can also monitor context window cost metrics and delete individual sessions directly from their history. Right-clicking ref labels in the git graph now opens a context menu that runs different actions against selected targets, kind of how VS Code does it. Here are some of the bug fixes this new release brings: The active agent fails to auto-select when creating a new git worktree. A scrollbar unexpectedly appears on wrapped code blocks in the agent chat. Collapse indicators for project headers appear when performing sidebar searches. Bracketed ellipsis title prefixes fail to show the ellipsis icon properly. Project icons render incorrectly in the recent projects picker. Diff hunk controls appear inside non-editable commit view multibuffers. The software update button hangs indefinitely on the downloading stage. Restoring an agent terminal in a remote project triggers a sudden crash. Splitting a pane that contains an active commit view causes a crash. Linux Wayland freezes when trying to read the clipboard from laggy external apps. Zed is a "newish" code editor trying to break the massive stronghold VS Code has on the developer community. Funny enough, the editor was created by former GitHub employees who worked on the Atom text editor (which Microsoft killed in 2022, several years after it bought GitHub). The project officially hit version 1.0 back in April, introducing platform parity for Windows and Linux alongside deep support for DeepSeek-V4-Pro.
    • 26H2 absolutely will support ARM Windows just not on devices that came with 26H1. This is evident by the fact I am running 26H2, which on my MacBook Neo and Surface Pro 12 (inch), within a VM.
