Definitely shoots minute-of-rec-room.

Probably could stand to drift that rear sight a little to the right.

We have the technology.



Cleaning (the floor that is - since we don't clean the gun) required a minute or so with the vacuum cleaner - which really doesn't count since the carpet needed to be vacuumed anyway.

Airsoft BB's cost $0.004 per shot.

So, today's ammo cost for about 200 rounds was 80 cents. Of course assuming that you don't re-use the plastic BB's. They do get dirty on the floor and in the target backstop. I'm not sure I have the interest to actually wash them and re-use them. I do know I don't want to stuff dirty BB's in my gun.

And then there is the cost of the gas. The "greengas" cylinders (propane mixed with the correct proportion of silicone) cost 8 bucks each. I have no idea how long one of the cylinders will last. I'm guessing a couple-or-three thousand shots. That's another $0.004 per shot. Some people "save money" and use straight propane and guestimate the amount of silicone to splurt into the check valve during filling. If they live long enough, they might be able to get a free cheeseburger with their "savings."

So, at $0.008 per shot, airsoft is 2000 times cheaper to shoot than 9mm, and it is 500 times cheaper to shoot than .22 rimfire. And it doesn't even wake up the family.


I can dig it.
