I'm new here. I'm turning 31 next week.

Two weeks ago a younger friend of mine told me about airsoft. It sounded like a fantastic way of satiating my primitive hindbrain's desire of hunting and killing stuff.

I've been lurking this site since then and have found it invaluable. Like all noobs, my initial knee-jerk reaction was to become a ninja-sniper, but quickly realized that's way played out yo.

So I decided to be a rifleman instead. I have a Tokyo Marui AUG A2 on order (Inb4 "Bullpups are for fags") as my birthday present to myself.

I'm not taking the whole military replica thing too seriously, as I have friends and family that are real soliders and I'm a marketing prettyboy. However, what's appealing to me are the inherent tactical and physical demands with this game. And I see a lot of benefit in that.

I am looking forward to getting some skirmishes in next month without getting all that serious.

I like it in the face.

Also welcome. I suggest coming out to the Silverton skirmish on the 27th or Font Wars. Both good relaxed games that sound like they'd be your pace.

Welcome to AP. Glad to see you didn't just for the l33t snipx0r role. Like you said, played out. Bullpups are awesome. The AUG is underused on the field but it's a great platform.

Welcome to AP, Sir.

Dude I wish I had a AUG. Like what Matt said Its a good platform. Also if you go to the Silverton skirmish I'll see you there. Oh! Welcome to AP. Its the gun of choice of my people. (Australia)

Thanks all.

Ivan: I'm looking at Font Wars. I should have all my gear by then.
Matt: Great site. Looking forward to seeing how the AUG works out for me. Seems like a good fit.
Switchback: Thanks. It's something of a joke. 90% of half of what I say isn't serious.
Jester: I think there is a Top Gun joke in there somewhere.
