Minors & Airsofting.

[Jester316]

I'll head this argument off before it gets brought up:

Adults (18+) do just as many stupid things with airsoft guns.


This statement is true. However for use as an argument as to why under 18 can play with airsoft guns makes it irrelevent. This is because of parents. When you are 18+ you are legally responsible for yourself. When you are under 18, your parents are responsible for you. This means what when someone under 18 get introuble with airsoft guns, their parents get involved. This means that mothers will form a MAA (Mothers Against Airsoft).Nothing is worse for something then having a MA* formed in regards to it. When someone 18+ get in trouble with airsoft guns, *generally* parents aren't involved/don't really care.

Treat it like they do real guns for hunting. 16+, Gun safety course (1 day should cover the use/safety and legal aspects of transporting and using an AEG), must be used when parent/legal guardian present. You show up without your "card" and your parent/guardian isn't with you, then you don't play. the community will police itself as it always does with regards to game play.

I think airsoft should be 21 and over. Also, there needs to be full bars for each team at large games.

OP: Hammered Ivan's Crossing will happen someday.

and the main objective that the OpFor will have is to prevent you from crossing all the bridges on the field while you're drinking right

[Ivan Daylovich™]

Yep. As one team attempts to get me drunk and across a river.

[Nark]

SWEET!!! time to make some moonshine and toiletbowl wine! You gotta let it sit for a long time to get that flavor just right.

If I die from alcohol poisoning that's considered a loss for BLUFOR.

Who gets to claim the drowning kills?

The problem with people doing stupid stuff with airsoft guns isn't minors. The problem is stupid airsofters doing stupid stuff with airsoft guns. Just a majority of those stupid people are stupid minors who are not legally responsible for their own actions.

However the problem at hand is the result of the community as a whole not correcting their own and re-enforcing correct behavior. The community instead has allowed thought that airsoft guns are toys to exists. The community does not call people out when they are shooting in the parking lot, muzzle sweeping their buddies, and doing generally dumb stuff. The community has re-enforced the attitude by not doing anything about it and the public smack down the hobby will receive one day will be the community's own fault.

[Ivan Daylovich™]

If BLUFOR can drag me across to the other bank they win. If not, OPFOR win.

[Snowman]

Roight. This, is MJKramer. 'E's tha mowst visious arse'ofta in tha werwd.

I'm'na punch 'im in tha face.



OOOO, 'E'S ANGREH.

Minors: Wanna play airsoft? Don't be a douchebag at a game, or in the real world, assuming you have lives.

[Ivan Daylovich™]

I think the real problem with minors has been brought up. No drinking and airsofting.

Sorry, couldn't read past that part

This is ridiculous... We minors can all preach about stupid people our age, and say how we are better, etc. But to be honest, it doesn't matter! The only reason why this discussion involves minors is because the public eye consists of mostly uneducated adults. Therefore, "minors and airsoft" becomes the problem as opposed to "stupid people and airsoft."

Ok you have a stupid anime as you pic for one that says something about being smart. (nerd) Any way kids and gun have never really been a good idea. some adults should not even use airsoft. But because it has become popular we have to deal with them too. look i like allot of airsofters just want to have fun train and learn when we see kids running up to bunkers like R-tards. Then to top it off they have there miss matched every thing with there sweet sniper rifle. that they just pointed at you from ten feet away and lodged a 6mm BB in your flesh. that is why kids and airsoft suck. If that was any one else i would have the right to be angry. Say hey shazaam face what the shit. But its a kid so "he didn't know any better" and yeah see how cool you look cussing out a kid. I mean i have done it before it just does not look good. Any way I just really liked it better when it was not adult and less kids. it was more fun.

So now I'm a "nerd" because I like a TV series? And you are trying to bash me because apperantly I'm trying to sound "smart?" I think before you even go on the field you should learn to type, as well as show some more respect. In my opinion, you should be one of those adults that loses their ability to airsoft. Mindless insults and being rude in general won't get you anywhere, don't act like an a$$...

@Mcnair: I wasn't really speaking in terms of liability, but more in a sense of this; "Is it really minors we should be concerned about, or stupid people?"
