The story about my recent hang-up on airsoft stuff

My dream...

I had this dream last night. I was in Glorietta 3 looking for something to buy. I had Php1100.00 in my pocket but still undecided what to do with it. I knew I should buy something useful and important. Then suddenly, a FOR SALE banner called my attention. Airsoft rifles for sale! 3 for only Php1100.00. Alright! I had the exact amount so I bought 1 JG Spetz and 2 other rifles (that are more like old-style airguns; the long, light brown ones) with a free blue leather gun bag. More like a handbag that has 3 round faded gold metal embelishments horizontally aligned on the upper part. Hahaha! I asked for the FPS (feet per second) then said "Oh, it's 380...". The saleslady corrected me, "No ma'am, it's 280...". Okay, good enough to penetrate one side of a coke can. The FPS didn't bother me so I decided to leave. I realized I had no money left. Good thing I brought my ATM card to cash out some. And then I woke up. Geez! It was just a dream. I bet my brain processed all these airsoft stuff my boyfriend recently indulged himself with.


How my recent fascination with airsoft started...

Marco wants a new hobby. We were talking about airsoft since last week. So I shared with him a little about airsoft to encourage him. Since my bestfriend introduced it to me 3 years ago, I know a bit. I told Marco that I was able to watch an airsoft competition called KALIS (Yes, I was there during KALIS 6 - the 1st and last KALIS I've ever watched. Hehehe). And I think it's a fun activity. Then the last thing I knew was my dear boyfriend was lurking in FilAirsoft.com (aka FAS). Hahaha! He wants an airsoft rifle with at least 380 FPS.


We started canvassing...

Yesterday after dinner, we went straight to Makati Cinema Square (aka MCS). We were after the hobby shops that sell airsoft guns and other things. We know 2 shops there. One is located on the 1st floor and the other one is on the 2nd floor. We first went to the shop on the 2nd floor. It was small but has plenty of airsoft rifles to choose from. We were actually looking for JG steyr aug, JG g36c and JG spetz. But the store only has JG spetz for Php3750.00. Next stop was the KIKAY store on the 1st floor. Yep! you read it right. It's a kikay store that sells lots of airsoft things. Maybe the store considers airsoft as kikay stuff for men. Hahaha! Just guessing! And only JG spetz was available among the airsoft gun models we were hunting. The kikay store also offers the same price as the other store. Our theory - the kikay store is an extension of the store on the 2nd floor. Our observation - Sales staff in both stores have same uniforms. Hehehehe. :D


Still undecided...

Marco has not decided yet if he's going to play airsoft or he would buy a rifle and enjoy just having it. Whether he plays or not, I'll support him all the way! That's the sure thing! :D

  1. hmmm... JG Spets at 380 FPS is good enough for CQB game.

    But most airsofters I encounter often say that JG M4 variants are recommeded for newbies like me.

    Pero I think mas maganda kung makapanood or makalaro muna si Sir Marco ng actual game. Dun mas marami sya malalaman about Airsoft... ^__^

    Good thing may malapit na gamesite at shop sa staffhouse.

    Sir Marco, pag nakabili na kayo ng AEG at mask laro tayo! ^__^
