Yepp thats it. Just spend time here, and learn. Dont make stupid comments. Sorta like, dont say things you dont know about.
Learn about the sport, and local fields. Also help out at local feilds (I believe Amos mentioned it already).
Your one of the few underage airsofters on this forum, who actaully takes into account what we have to say, which is good.

I know a lot of minors with airsoft guns. However we teach them responsibly, and they're smart enough not to really open their mouth on the forums until they're 18.

They are idiots. There is no reason to act that way at any time. No one, again, No One on ASC is bound to answer any post made by anyone. If you don't like what you see/read, don't agree, get pissed off, want to cry, hate children because you never got to play, hate your Mom, hate your Dad, can't afford the gun or anything else then don't bother. If you can't help or don't want to then just don't do anything. I like clever comments but being a jerk is not as clever as you think it is. I wouldn't be at all suprised if this thread was started by an admin, given it's young yet mature attitude, to pull the cyber bullies out of thier hiding holes.

Halfheaded, you should not appologize for anything. I'm sorry for the way you have been treated. I PM'd you. I wouldn't blame you if you left here now and never looked back even in four years. If you're this mature at 14 now I can only imagine what a great asset you'll be to some team in a few years. If you come to MB, I'll paly Airsoft with you any day.

As for "letting us know so we'll help you", why should we? First, the gun has been discussed to death, so all you need to upgrade it is already on the forums. Literally everything. Second, you're 13 years old, why should I help you make a more powerfull and precise gun.

You will be met with the same attitude as every other minor on this board, why should it be different?

This doesn't mean you will be ripped to pieces as you seem to think you will be, but your "confession" will not necessarily help either.

YMMV.

Not really , Surebet you are a dick

this attitude is why im reluctant to bring people into this sport. even if they are 18. some of the comments on this site are outright assault. the attacks i see on some members are just childish. we dont need age verification we need maturity verification.

halfheaded i think you have the right idea. keep your gun stored for the time being and just let it come. its a formality but its just the way it is. i hope you stick it out.

thanks

Like I said, having a conversation on internet forums can be diffilcult at times. We all jump to conclusion on something based on first impression and how the words were said (or typed, in this case), so if a post was confusing to read or not clear in intention, people may interpert it incorrectly and thus reacting to it in a hostile manner.

I'm just not used to visiting forums that have underaged minors that we have to treat differently as we would to other "mature" members, but then again, airsoft isn't really meant for those that are under the age of 18 to begin with (this is a whole other topic as well, we can agree to disagree), so it's easy to forget that sometimes we ARE talking to kids here and need to watch what we say.

The message is clear, though. You need to be responsible for your own actions when it comes to owning replica guns, and with guns there comes a certain level of expectation in terms of how you treat them - if you treat them like toys, you will eventually get hurt. I believe most of us here have good intentions toward keeping this sport safe and available to everyone (that are of age), but at the same time there must be a certain level of exeptation that needs to be put in place for anyone that wants to participate safely.

There's a lot of people here who are willing to answer questions but there probably three times as many people who will bite you head off for not using Google or the forum search feature.

I find a lot of people act differently when their on the forum than the do in real life. . . then again some of them really are dicks. Keep in mind its the internet and arguing on net is meaningless.

Don't be afraid to ask questions and just be honest about things, most of us are willing to help, or try to.

That this thread has turned into dead horse-beating.

[HalfHeaded]

that is honestly a true statement.

[Boomshakah]

HalfHeaded I know how you feel, as I've been waiting since 2 year, and I won't be able untill next year (when i'll be 18) to participate in a event, i still believe that if you are responsible, you can use your gun out of sight, on some private land.

one wierd thing is theres alot of people under 18 who are allowed to handle real steel military rifles (like the C7A1, and I'm joining army reserve in september!), but are flamed if they touch to an Airsoft. thats non-sense?

Oh well, I can't wait to be allowed for Age Verification,

I suppose you think it's nonsense too that you can get a Student Pilot Permit when you're 14, but can't get your driver's learner's permit until you're 16? Or the fact you can rent a plane when you're 17, but can't rent a car until you're 25?

We have a reason for this. Those under 18 who handle real firearms are either licensed to do so, or have recieved proper military training and do it under military supervision and mandate. Neither of those exists in airsoft. The "legally responsible" speal still applies.

I go back to what I said earlier:



can we lock this thread?
