Also, gas pistols are for pussies. Real pro airsofters use spring pistols.


Didn't most of us start there? I have one already.

Bullshit. MP5K is a great sidearm. Plus if your primary is a MP5A5 you'll probably have interchangeable mags.

I have an AK47 and a ICS MP5A5. So If I use the MP5 as primary, it would be a good idea to use a MP5K as a side arm? I would just need a holster for it.

They do make holsters for the MP5k.

Or you can just throw it on a sling and call it good.

Whenever I went out, my main was either a P90 with a sidearm of a WE 1911, a .44 Magnum, and a Mac 11, sometimes an MP5k if I was feeling creative. And a nerf sword, if the game allowed such tomfoolery.

Jus' sayin. Sidearms don't HAVE to be pistols... nor just limited to one sidearm :D As far as the sling thing goes, I just clipped em to a carabiner on the back of my belt.

EDIT: I just discovered that shitty "How many weapons do you bring in the field" thread right after I posted this. Oh if only...

MP7s are very uncomfortable to holster, from having owned one. Slinging is the better option. If you're not wearing a plate carrier, a tight sling diagonally across the back is a good method for a backup/alternate (When running more snipery platforms, I usually have a trishot slung for clearing buildings). Also, please learn to spell, it makes me ashamed to admit that I'm of the same species as you when you write like that.

Really, pistols aren't useless but there's really no point beyond "It's cool". If that's reason enough for you, go for it. My suggestion is one of the WEs.

Why would I care that in a Airsoft Pacific forum that I use propper spelling? Oh, yeah, I don't.

Or it'll earn you a spot on everyone's foe list so no one will see your posts anyways.

Also, grammar matters.

This. If it's too hard, then what everyone says, download Google Chrome or some browser with a spell check and right click every word that's underlined in red. Otherwise, pay attention in your English classes.

Also, I removed the "Pacific" from that statement because there is only one "Airsoft Pacific" so you therefore cannot single our forum out, but added "an" where the "a" is before the statement "Airsoft forum" because there are also multiple different forums focusing on Airsoft. Although, I may be wrong and that the use of "a" could be correct.

Half the time, I feel it's all based on opinion.

NO MULTICAM?

NO WANT

Oh yeah. Go out, and buy a WE 1911. Get a SERPA. Problem solved.

It should be longer than all of his posts. As in his posts shouldn't exist.

I didn't know that the whole summer thing wasn't just a joke.

Like I've said a thousand times, I'm pretty dumb and post a lot of crap, but my god... Summer is real, and it's here.
