I went to U.S. tactical supply to see if they had ONE double mag pouch in coyote brown. I left with a one-piece MAV, coyote brown triple shingle, and grabbed a condor double mag pouch just for kicks.


Bad idea.

I just bought a Dboys M4, 6 smoke grenades, and some internals for the M4. The next day, I saw a one day special on a new handgun. Didn't even blink... I need to control my impulses.

Was going to buy a KWA M4A1 and some Propper Woodland BDU's, decided i wanted to actually up my game, bought a Systema with 12 mags, batteries, KWA P226 PTP + accessories for both and went broke living on ramen noodles for the next 8 months instead. Couldn't even afford BB's after that. That was my spur of the moment change in plans. I thought about what i was doing for all of maybe 23 seconds before i made up my mind.

I learned to think a little more rationally after that........ Think ill buy Inokatsu next time instead..........

I buy too much for how often I actually go out and airsoft. And now I'm finding I'm not as rich as I used to be...
Time to sell?

If you're going to go to war against a major enemy, go; knock the hell out of him fast, and go in there to kill him and get it over with.

The longer you stay in there and just mess around. THe more likely you are going to buy something you didn't go in for. Trick is to get in get out.

I don't go in unless my wallet is fat and I am willing to deflate it.
Not even to look.
I know all shiny toys there personally know my name because the all call out to me, :buy me", "take me home", "it won't hurt", "it's only money".
You want proof? My CA249 did that to me.

Perhaps when I am done with my Masters I'll play again. As it is I rarely have time to suit up and take the house down.

The worst I've ever done was when Highlander was closing. I went in looking for a bucking and spring, then came out with the newest (at the time) Echo 1 Ak47. Since then, I haven't really been to a shop much. Probably a good thing. :)

Drunk on Airsoft ! I mostly buy on-line . Got all kinda gadgets I'll never use but I keep on buying . I guess I'm a AIRSOFT Junkie . Gotta have my fix . And I know what you mean by eating top ramen . I don't drink booze no more so that really free's up the cash flow . I can honestly say that if I had a million bucks today I could have it spent by Tuesday on Airsoft .UPS loves me . :lol:
