So since my girlfriend decided to break my silence, I guess I might as well write a follow up, with what's been going on in my life.

The only thing really interesting, is that I've been getting into airsoft and paintball with some guys at work. I bought this:

It's an airsoft M4 replica made by ICS outta Taiwan. It's no Tokyo Marui, but it's nice.

It's a battery operated gun, rather than gas blowback, has R.I.S. rails, and shoots roughly 330 Feet Per Second.

I haven't made any modifications to the internals yet to up the FPS or anything (haven't even played with it in a real game yet), but it's fun. I've got a walmart clearsoft M4 with a vertical foregrip and a reflex sight, so I tried popping those on. I didn't like the reflex sight, so I took it off, and my friend and I ordered a couple ACOG sights for our M4s.

I haven't gotten an aifsoft side arm yet (other than a few clearsoft spring pistol), but I'm liking the feel of one of the Barettas (I can't remember the model off hand). I borrowed a guy's glock for one game, and it shoots nice, but the Baretta feels nicer in my hand. (you're just shooting BBs, so it's all about the look and feel)

I've still got a lot to buy before I'm all airsofted-out, but I did get a tactical vest as well - and of course, a paintball mask. I'm thinking of buying another mask without the cheeks, and just using a mouth guard (these things break the skin and shatter teeth) so I can rest my cheek on my stock and aim more nicely. I'll see how well the ACOG feels though, since it's raised higher off the gun.

After that I have to get a BDU with boots and stuff.

The airsoft community in Canada is…Well, it kind of sucks. It's full of a lot of elitests and glorified LARPers. If you show up with a clearsoft M4, you'll probably be laughed at, and kicked off the field. It's retarded.

Anyway, on the paintball side, I ordered my own marker a couple days ago (figured since so many people were getting into it, and we're sort of forming a team, I might as well get a marker…Paintball's so expensive though. >_<)

One of the guys from my work used to own a paintball field, and was in a paintball team for a long time, so he's kind of convincing us all to get into it. (We're not fighting it though. XD)
