thanks datalink7 and rotc for the heads up.. anyhow, I really wanted to know because my neighborhood has become more violent.. (e.g. there was a robbery just 6 blocks away from me) .. and considering how im still young and I dont have any weapons permit whatsoever, these airsoft guns are the only things I can use to save me.. although I have had some self-defense/martial arts classes, i doubt those would protect me from guys with bats.. 🙁 but I know 2500 8mm metal BBs would help.. 🙂

Ya... you're going to end up a statistic if you pull an airsoft gun on a bunch of thugs and they pull the REAL thing on you. Plus, most places won't even sell you a gun if you're not 18. And if you get caught with one by the cops, using it the way you described, expect to either get shot or have a big hassle to deal with.

I would suggest you not get an airsoft gun if you're looking for some quick courage to protect you from the neighborhood bully. People like you using these guns like that are the reason many places are trying to outlaw airsoft.

so I can't do anything eh? oh well.. 🙁

i dont understand airsoft. when you get shot, do you just leave the field on the honor system? seems like that wouldnt work....
