5 years ago when I was 15. Looking for something better than paintball toward my intrests. Action Movies. And action movie stars don't use pipes with hoppers.

First gun was a HFC MP5. Horrible. Ripped off for $75. Then I got a HFC Springer pistol. Horrible.

Then I discovered high-end airsoft.
Was the 2nd most super noob in the world right next to Rathjen.
Bought a TM SPAS-12 from a FLAC member. Loved it. Started playing in games with AEGs. Loved it. SPAS-12 broke. Bought a TM AK Beta from Troy. Went to AP games.

Here I am now.

Went looking for something better to shoot people with in the dorms than nerf guns, found spring pistols. Didn't actually use the springers in the dorms though, rules and stuff.

Searched "Airsoft" on teh internetz and found AEGs and AP.

WOot.

Started more than a year ago with a crosman on my family farm in Sweet Home. Then I searched for airsoft in Oregon and found AP. This site introduced me to airsoft as I now know it, and thousands of dollars and several skirmishes and ops later I'm still addicted. :D

I started in March of 2000.
I can't remember how I found it. I think I was looking for wwii stuff at the time(I was doing reenacting then)and stumbled across airsoft shit. Looked up oregon/airsoft and found BASC. Played a springer game w/ Thompson. Then that summer met Pearson and started playing w/ AEGs.

Originally played paintball when I was around 13. When I was 14, I heard about airsoft, and soon after ordered a springer rifle. I admit, It was a super 9. It was terrible, but I loved it then. Another friend linked my to AP, and I was addicted. I started here with posts about "Why hate the Super 9?"...

I've come a long way. My first real OP was at G18. Since then I've been to numerous skirmishes, DZZ2, and OP:SP.

I still am addicted to airsoft and AP. I usually just lurk on AP till a topic comes up that I can put forward some geniune advice in, instead of an uneducated opinion.

Well it depends if the Daisy wars we had when I was a kid count. Still remember getting shot out a tree. That 1st bb stuck in my leg. So either 9months or 31 years. Your call

First real OP was Grid 18. First skirmish was a Gresham game about a month before that. I've been doing the springer wars for about 6 years though. First gun was an HFC USP(the Lara Croft POS gun).

I started playing when I was a Freshman in High Shcool, which was 1998 I think. Thanks to McNair and Pearson. And thanks to Bill and Matt for picking me up on APST.
