๐งต Airsoft as a hobby?

What are the pros & cons of buying expensive equipment to play airsoft as a hobby? The Doom Guy/Eternal helmet is $400+, but idk if it's worth buying or even safe.

Look at these losers.Unfit. Disheveled uniform. Weapon not squared away. Grabbing a kid. I couldn't show my face if I was associated with this. Cowardly snipers shooting old women out of frustration. Grubby cowards grabbing little boys. We only see children, women, old men. All of the enemy slipped away by now. They will return too.

if you don't lift, have 19 inch biceps, and weigh at least 250lbs 6,3'', most likely legit marine infantry, don't buy the doom slayer lid folks around the world shall make fun of you. Perhaps i'm making fun of you right now?

I'm not nearly /fit/ enough to pull off the full aesthetic, but I do appreciate good art.

What if I'm someone who "takes it too seriously" because I want excessive padding?

Pros: If you actually play airsoft in your larp kit you'll learn what works and what doesn't. If you setup the airsoft gun like a real one, its similar to dryfire practice. You can dive and run around all silly-willy and try wacky stuff since BB's aren't bullets. You can find out that the wildly positioned mag setup you researched for weeks and defended for hours while all of /gq/ dumped on it actually does suck to draw from under anything besides playing pretend in the basement.
Cons:gotta play airsoft or its all a waste. people who play airsoft are airsofters, and you'll associate with them. your expensive game accurate doom helmet probably doesnt stop BB's. BB's can crack lenses on optics/lights and dont care if they hit a real aimpoint or not. BB anywhere makes you out.

The biggest con is that airsoft is gay and the hobby is accurately named, because it is soft as are its participants

How do you guys do magazine maintenance? I have a couple mags that only feed half their shots and then double feed the next. They're all the same manufacturer as the gun, stock chamber. I'm talking about midcaps.

Drilling it causes it to be more likely to break.
