From Airsoft Extreme kit includes
Tokyou Mauri Mp5-A4 Battery (standard) Charger Discharger (miniplug included) Hicap Mag Bag of Excel 0.20g BB's (3700)
I got this instead of the A5 because of the standard battery because in the FAQs I read the small battery doesnt last a whole day of playing.
I might get a gas glock18 from my uncle for 15$.

Great, now I can sleep even worse at night knowing there's another young fool with an airsoft gun. I wouldn't be too nice to this clown Newman, I'm guessing he's the same moron who's been bugging the hell out of me on the boards all week. I seem to recall UnseenKiller listed his name as Patrick in his profile.... now we get another Patrick all of the sudden. What's the alias count up to now? We've got: TheUnseenKiller, IamScared, ReallyScared, and now Patrick. A little bird told me Hado let you loose with the condition you shape up and stop acting retarded. We'll see how long that lasts. Let me take this opportunity to state that I think a 13 year old should not own or have access to higly realistic weapon relicas such as airsoft guns. I know there are some younger players on this board, and they may or may not have proven their maturity, responsibility, etc. BUT, based solely on the posts of our buddy Patrick here, I think that words have spoken louder than actions ever could. I am really hoping that I won't be hearing about you getting shot in a few weeks after you decide to carry your MP5 on your handle bars and ride your bike over to your buddy's house. Based on your behavior here, I can only imagine how you act in real life..... it surprises me that whoever is purchasing this stuff for you is actually gonna let you use it. Flame On!

Dear Minky, Iam sorry you feel this way. I know that I was wrong by asking questions I could of just easily found on the internet. Asking those questions only showed that Iam lazy which Iam not. It does not show that Iam immature. I do not hope to meet you ever for you are a very bitter person. Actually wait I take that back I do want to meet you so you can see what Iam really like. Sincerly Patrick P.S: I hope to see you soon

You still don't get it. I could care less about people asking questions, as that is how most people learn. The main thing was that you were just acting like an all around idiot, and that is what got under my skin. There's no need to post on old, long dead topics unless you actually have something relevant or useful to add. There's no need to sign up under 4 different usernames in one week. There's no need to question why your posts were deleted; there was obviously a reason.
I have no problem with you being a member here and hanging around on the boards, but you need to think about changing the way you act if you want to be here for any length of time.
BTW I love how young people always bring up the maturity issue. Nowhere in my post did I say you were immature. I just think it's very irresponsible for parents/guardians/whoever to let a 13 year old have airsoft guns. You can be as mature as an 80 year old lady for all I care, that doesn't change the fact that you're only 13 and don't have as much smarts and experience as you'd like to think. The image this sport needs is not that of 13 year olds, as that is the type of thing that sets soccer moms and politicians off on quests to regulate or ban. There's a reason most retailers will only sell to people 18 years and older.

Okay, I apologize for the posting in old threads. Maturity does have somehting to do with what you said. You need to be mature to be smart with a gun. Iam not stupid enough to run around with a gun to my friends house. Iam sorry that you feel that 13 year olds should not play this sport. You really need to calm down. You don't see stupid little house wives banning paintball and that thing is filled with kids around my age. Also I will stop acting "RETARDED" which I thought I had. The fact that you just don't want someone to play for being 13 is very sad.

Actually, yes you do. But not now because paintball has become an "X-Game"... And is no longer military simulation.
Alright, I am going to show my age here a little bit, but when I started playing paintball (around the time you were just starting to shit in your diapers) there was all kinds of bullcrap about paintball. Because people wore camo, because they were simulating military combat. An underage kid couldn't even get ON a field. And it was in the news all over the place. Because of all the bad press it slowly transformed into the style it is today where the guns are called "markers" and they wear fancy colored gay-assed clothing instead of military gear.
I am from the day of black, realistic looking toy guns for any kid. No orange tips for us, but the real deal. I am from the day of magazine fed toy pistols that shot rubber bullets. And over the years, I have seen the toy guns change from realistic colors to neon fake colors, I have seen the orange tips become law. I have also seen the stories in the papers and in the news of kids getting wasted by cops who thought they had real guns.
In my post here, your maturity isn't in question, your age is. And as far as I am concerned there is no reason what-so-ever for a 13 year old to have a realistic looking airsoft gun.
It has nothing to do with you personally, but it has to do with my fun, my sport, and my hobby.
All you need to do is screw up ONCE and my hobby is in jeapardy. Because every parental group in the country will be all over a little 13 year old kid getting popped with a realistic toy gun.
It happens all the time. Look at the bullshit Brady Bill that squashed the so called "assault weapons" in the real steel market. That affected me as a weapon collector though I am a law abiding citizen and did nothing wrong. I never ONCE threatened anyone with a realistic looking toy gun when I was a kid, but because some butt-heads did, they were yanked off the market.
So yeah, 18 and over for airsoft guns. No doubt about it. The only underage person I have ever met who I would trust with one is my nephew and Newman. Both of them have show respect that I have seen with my own eyes for firearms.

Once again, you have never meet me so you do not know my respect for anything that fires a projetile or even looks real. You shouldn't even worry about me taking my gun out of the house unless for events. My mom already told me that when it gets here I can only fire 10 shots from my gun (to make sure it works) then the clip, bb's, and battery will be locked up only to be taken out for events. Also the minute I take that gun out of my house its taken away, sold and Iam grounded for either the whole summer or the school year. Which ever has just started.

Patrick,
I don't GIVE respect, people EARN it. Period, end of story.
The whole reason I would make a blanket statement is to cover all avenues of safety. And yeah, I don't know you, so you (unfortunately?) get lumped in with that statement.
It's like this, is a 30 year old retarded person any more capable of voting that a 14 year old genious? Nope, sure isn't. But there has to be a blanket policy on voting, so the age is set at 18, regardless of individual capabilities. It is what is best for the masses.
Just like owning an airsoft weapon. It is what is good for the sport. And that is what my beliefs are based on.

that's a give in...there's always someone who decides that something is against their views and sets out to debunk or regulate it....
but the more kids that could be 'infected' with airsoft, the more of these people our sport will attract...the more people who will seek to ban it.
by restricting the sport to adults, we limit that exposure...limit the chances of this happening.
so...sorry...wait til you're older.

If I didn't know Newman, yes, he would totally fit into that catagory. But, I have met Newman, and he is righteous. He sets an example that the rest of us could do well to follow.
So, as I stated in my above post, he is one that I trust because I have seen with my own eyes how responsible it is.
Hell, why don't you ask Newman what he thinks of underage people using airsoft guns?
I think his answer would be interesting to you.
Vitalis
And one last thing Patrick. Despite what ever type of entrance you made to this board, my opinions on underage airsofters has nothing to do with this. Since your initial problems you have been handling yourself well and with a sense of maturity. So please try not to take my opinions personally.

I understand where you are coming from and I partially agree with you. Iam pretty sure that viking allows 13-17 year olds to come with a parents signature and I don't think 1 more will hurt this sport.
