Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. So I went to my friendly local airsoft shop yesterday to pick up my son's repaired AK, and asked them about pistols, specifically KWA. The guy at the counter told me that they had sent half their KWA pistols back to the factor because the new NS2 gas system was not as reliable. I know KWA PTs are popular for competition training and was wondering if there were any thoughts on this. He recommended KJW, and maybe it doesn't really matter. A neighbor shoots in local competitions (Utah) that are associated with the local branch of the IDPA. He has been training with a KJW Sig Sauer 226, which, according to some accounts, will group within 2" at 25 ft. I come from a pellet pistol background, and we are impressed by dime sized groupings at that distance, but that sounds fine to me. So questions: - Are there any obvious reliability problems with NS2 gas pistols that you've heard of? - Does the pistol choice depend largely on the rules and regulations of the governing body, i.e. open sights vs. red dots, etc. or should I just get something with good reviews? - If you were to put your pistol on a sandbag or in a clamp, how tight would your groups be at 25 ft? - My shop guy recommende sniper bbs for tighter groupings. I think he said .3 grams. Thoughts? Thank you for your patience and I am not trying to troll the group--I genuinely don't know much about this, thanks.
  2. Thanks for the replies. Of course I meant Airsoft *training* for USPSA/IPSC, etc. I don't think you could actually shoot a pistol in competition, right?
  3. Just wondering if this is the only active thread for Airsoft USPSA/IPSC shooters on the internet. It's the only one I've found at least.
  4. I was looking at these, especially the limited, but propane seems like it would be much cheaper for practice, yet in one of the videos Eric Grauffel indicated that c02 hit harder. I'm also looking at the KWA 1911 trainers which seem very popular here. I currently shoot a WE hi capa but the sights aren't that precise and it doesn't strike me as that accurate, although it could be me!
  5. So I've been googling IPSC and AIRSOFT off and on for a year, and just discovered USPSA and some of the other resources. I am looking to get something affordable that I can train with as my wife doesn't like gunpowder based weapons in the house. The church youth group goes to the local range about twice a year and I would love to be able to practice in the back yard and then when the group heads up to the range again borrow the leader's .45 and get some good groupings. I am an English teacher so this might be amusing for them. Past that competing sounds like it would be enormously fun.
