Just shot my Glock17 Metal from buyairsoft

This thing is crazy. Seems quite powerful, and when I shot it outside my door, the sound echoed in the street. Nice blowback action and the metal slide contributes to a really nice cycle sound. I'll get back to you once I can test it a little more. Such as accuracy/range etc. Can't right now because it's friggin cold outside, and people are asleep right now inside.

Heard many good things about the HFC G17. I personally wanted to own one myself but because of the HFC trademark, I didn't get it. I instead got the KWA G19 which was the greatest investment for a GBB (for glock lovers). I have a nice lenghthy review on it at A&A, check it out if you're interested in other good glocks. I can probably say HFC and KWA (or KSC) are comparible in durability but others may say differently.

"Finally?" It arrived less than 48 hours after I entered my info online!

Maybe you're thinking of the other thread I had? Where I ordered a propane adapter on Feb 5th and it arrived today (13th).

regardless of night time or not, #1 rule in airsoft is to never fire in public, not even your backyard. Basement for plinkering around or on a designated airsoft field should be the only time you can shoot. Sorry to be blunt but our sport is diminishing as it is, it doesn't help to have more cases of airsoft guns in public all over the news. just my 2 cents

Question: why not in your backyard? For me, both my neighbors know me well, and wouldn't really think anything of it.

it the simple matter that you can't control who sees you outside ant anytime and what they will interpret from you actions. in you basement you have a higher degree of control for who sees you. most of the items in this sport are real enough that a police officer will shoot you, if he sees you with it in any threating manner, and considering that this sport attracts a lot more negative publicity its better to keep this sport out of the spotlight. so needless to say its in both your best interest not to use it anywhere but your basement or the feild. after all we want our sport to have a good reception if it ever does come into the lime light.

edit: to Naerah -> I thought you guys would have greater care for this considering recent events in and around your area?

I disagree, as do most of the members on this forum.

Guys you are both very new to this (both joined in 2007), many of us have been around long enough to see the countless reports of people shooting airsoft/bb guns/cap guns in their backyards/property/in the street and some unknowing person calling the cops and having the nice fellas from the local SWAT team show up...so play it safe and don't take them outside unless they are in an appropriate case. I don't want to see anyone shot or arrested for having airsoft, no matter who they are or what they were doing with it. Just don't be morons and use them in public...
