Sounds fun, but wow, a $150 price tag.
Looks like a good place to train for the home invader.

Guess I better rummage in the closet for my flame-proof suit, because that gun range is one of the stupidest, most grossly irresponsible, WTF ARE THEY THINKING? ideas I've ever seen. If you haven't guessed, I think they're out of their minds.

No flames from me. I think the whole airsoft/paintball/shoot at each other is some of the stupidest crap I've ever heard of.

I agree. It teaches youth to "Play" with real guns and it is a law suit waiting.

I have no problem with paintball guys or airsoft guys. I've never played and probably never will. Thats not my thing. I like real guns. But I think this is stupid. Modifying REAL guns. Just stupid in my opinion. Wanna run a paintball course, or airsoft course, go right ahead. Modify my REAL gun to shoot airsoft, UM no thanks. I want mine to shoot lead

why not just use live ammo and bring in people from death row to play the bad guy?




I may need a flame-proof suit myself now

we could expand our "volunteer" pool by including burglars, rapists, and pedophiles.

That nutball gun range received fairly extensive coverage on Yahoo News today, so stand by for incoming from Boxer, Feinstein, Lautenberg, Schumer et al.

paintball and airsoft are a great way to practice for real life situations, but no matter how realistic the airsoft gun is, it can't equal the heft and balance of a real weapon. so they modify your personal weapon(temporary, of course) to fire non-lethal rounds.

and for those of you who think it teaches you to play with real guns: you still treat the gun like it's real, which is why you only point it at the OPFOR, and even then only when you're "hot", and don't just go waving it around without regard to muzzle control.
