Anyone close to me knows I get obsessive compulsive about things that I’m into and right now I’m caught up in airsoft. It’s just such a fun game to play, in a sense it allows me to relive my childhood where I’d play soldier with friends and it’s a great form of exercise. I hate working out normally but I definitely feel myself getting stronger and every game my stamina improves.

Over the past weekend, I replaced the mechbox shell in Mark’s MP5 and tried to figure out why his Glock 17 jams up all the time. Its dirty work but it’s a lot of fun and I get to learn more about gun internals. 😀 The MP5 is set and shooting well (muzzle velocity ~95 to 100m/s) however I have yet to figure out the problem with the Glock 17. With no BB’s loaded it fires ok, once you load it up however the gun jams every 4-5 shots blowing off all the gas in the mag. It’s definitely frustrating but I’ll give it another go again tonight.

Hehe with all the guns in my condo I figure I might as well take a pic. 😉 The MP5A4 and the Glock 17 (pistol on the right) is Mark’s. The suppressor on the MP5 definitely adds character and makes me want to get another one. Not this year though, I’m done buying guns in 2006.

Btw no I’m not a gun nut and I do support a ban on real guns. Airsoft is a just a hobby and I have a pretty balanced social life. I guess that’s my disclaimer after last week’s Montreal shooting rampage…
