Marine Have Airsoft now.

Postby Osprey » Mon Jan 23, 2012 5:03 pm

No joke I was looking at a Big 5 ad, and there was a M4 by the Marines in the Ad. So being curious I went to crosman's website, and there in corner was a link to Marines Airsoft. Now the guns are crappy(the one pistol is decent), but it looks like the Marines are trying to appeal to the Airsoft community like what the Army did with Paintball. Does anyone gave any thoughts on this?http://marinesairsoft.crosman.com/

It sucks that the guns are shit.

This has been around for a while. It's nothing new.

First of all, it doesn't use gas, it uses CO2...

Second of all, where are you going to get replacement mags for it, I doubt Crosman sells them.

And third of all, what about replacement parts? Again, I highly doubt Crosman has any replacement parts for that pistol.

All of those guns look like absolute crap! :lol:

You beat me to it.

One part Carbon.
Two part Oxygen.

AKA. Carbon dioxide which is a gas. Its basic chemistry.

True on all, but it would be a great collector item.

Only at room temp below 850 psi. Above 850 psi it is a liquid.

Also, no shit CO2 is a gas! But when I'm talking airsoft, gas means propane or green gas, and CO2 means CO2! :lol:

Wow. So because it shoots 320FPS it's "somewhat decent"? Makes sense.

Not really. Looking back now I rather have a Gun that has extra parts. I can also agree there no sense of collecting a shitty gun. I can see it in a display case, but the fact its not of good quality might just bug me.

Also why Crosman why not CA or Echo. Why can't the Marines to what Stag arms did?
