I'd sooner die than get caught playing keeper in a 5v5 match.

High school paintball regionals today... (yeah we have that here O_o)
Won only one game, but damn it felt good. ^_^

Paintball is too expensive. Me and my friends took old spring and air pump bb guns and had the great qtip wars (we shoved qtips down the barrels with no bb's of course). They hurt alright, and the qtips are re-usable.

Now today i'm amassing all the cheapie airsoft guns i can find. I love the spring powered variants (there's plenty of them out there that have great bb speed and range). What's even better is that the nicer spring loaded guns are getting cheaper (i just have the sub $20 ones). So far i bought a cybershot colt 1911 and mossberg m590 and a daisy as240 (the daisy is really high quality compared to the cybershots for the same price, and it's not chinese). Then i got some wierd ass off brand $5 dollar pistol for free i stretched the spring in to at least make it decent, and then a pretty cool sig 552 that i had to adapt the m16 clip for for free (m16 is in the garbage). Because as soon as my friends found out i was into airsoft, they're giving me their airsoft guns because they don't play anymore. I wouldn't get rid of them, they're pretty cool toy replicas in the least (3 guns free, m16 in the garbage since only the clip and rubberband was good for clipless sig552).

I originally had them for sniping the neighbors **** dogs off the property where i live, but i guess i'll host an airsoft war or two with my unintentional arsenal. Sorry if i talked too much about airsoft, alternatives to paint ball because of finances and the assholes who lie about having their guns on max velocity are a must. Hit by your normal paintball in a match stings and leaves a welt. Someone who shot you in the right ass cheek in the same match that leaves a welt and makes your leg numb for 3 hours would've had it coming for them if it didn't make me unable to walk for a bit.

Paintball really is expensive as hell, that's why I'm only going rent for now.
Lot of guys here into airsoft... not so sure about it myself.

[Klaustrophobia]

airsoft would be pretty cool.  i bought a walmart springer a while back that is in pretty rough shape now just to crap around the dorms with.  i don't know anyone who is really into it though.  when i've actually got some money, i'll probably buy a low grade AEG if for nothing else than to shoot crap in the backyard with.

I practice Tai Chi. Forms, pushing hands and actual fighting.

It's like super cheap if you want it to be. You can buy some pretty good springer pistols and rifles for under $20. The bb's are under $7 for a bottle of 2000. Even if you get a springer pistol and and a thing of bb's and you don't like airsoft, then give it to a friend, because you definitely didn't spend a lot of money.

I do know someone who can get airsoft guns cheap, I just don't know what I could shoot around here.

Whoop how'd I miss this. Individual for the win. Not sports though, you might reconsider changing that to individual fitness.
I do runs, press ups, sit ups, squats, lateral dips, and where appropriate- chin ups.
 
 
I gave up paying for a gym as for the above exercises you just need a floor. Except for the chin ups. A door frame or a tree will do in that case.

i go hunting sometimes

How cheap are you talking here? I mean, i got mine at wal mart. A cybershot colt 1911 120fps 22 yard range for $12 (and a laser sight). I don't think it gets any cheaper than that for airsoft. The cybershot mossberg m590 355fps 60 yard range was actually $30 for a pretty awesome springer. The problem with cybershot is the cheaper it gets the lower the quality. So there's a huge quality difference between the pistol and the shotgun. On the other hand daisy has a nice pistol 240fps 44 yard range made with all metal parts internally for $16. That really surprised me at the quality difference between the crappy cybershots (i take really good care of that colt).

Either take care of your guns, or buy really really nice expensive ones and still take care of them.

I don't have an actual price range, but probably no cheaper than that. As I said, I only know someone who can get stuff cheap.
I saw an M16 model in a shop once for about $30, but I have serious doubts about quality around here.
