new noob from Salem

Postby Reaver » Wed Sep 12, 2012 12:04 am

Poured over the stickies before I posted, although I wouldn't consider myself a total noob, cannon fodder or bullet sponge definitely. Played paintball for years until it got too damn expensive. I am a resident of Salem, OR, and hoping that airsoft won't kill my wallet like paintball did. I also mess with air cannons so hoping maybe I could put some of those talents to use in airsoft. Anyway, my name is Jon and hello to Airsoft Pacific.

Airsoft is cheaper than paintball...sort of. Avoid the "gear fashion show," and you'll be fine!

Thanks guys. And I'm seeing what the regs are for things that go boom on the field. Thinking about a shoulder fired launcher right now. But I can build almost anything :)

OK so here is some noob showing. What is the designation "brown coat"? I just consider myself an armorer at the moment.

Hahah. It's not a noob moment at all, sir. :) Brown Coats are fans of a television show called Firefly. Thought you might have derived your name from there.

Oh lol. I actually grabbed the name from one of my old teen nerd online names, Soul Reaver. Kind of fits the way I played paintball, blitz the path of most resistance, shoot anything that moved along the way, never surrender...but that was years ago and I'm out of shape, but hopefully with a month or two of some solo training I can get back to where I was.
