Any tips on how to practice shooting and not break the bank lol

If you're practicing within 25 yards, honestly airsoft is a good training supplement if used correctly. Mainly for stuff like dry fire drills, active shooter scenario training, and switching targets. Extremely cheap to fire compared to bullets, but you absolutely must train with real firearms too.

Airsoft is great to practice team movements and firing together without risking shooting each other. And it can be good excersize too. Of course, like Confused said. You need to shoot and train with your actual rifle too.

Hmm actually this place doesn't mention magnum calibers but i know a lot of places don't allow them on steel

Dry fire @[CA] SoyBoi

MSP has some pointers on it

@Artemis when someone actually has goals and a requirement for their build 😍

They actually have really nice blowback airsoft gums

Electric blowback is decent but GBB is realistic as fuck apparently

I have a couple GBB pistols and they’re amazing

One shot drills are great for reloads since you only shoot one bullet between magazine changes

I wanna try paintball for more active training

Dry fire as well as live fire obviously

Even just holding position or practicing getting the rifle into position doesn't require shooting.

I start all builds with a purpose. It sorta comes with my maximizer nature. Even the grip on an ar has to be hand selected

Air soft gets you more lifelike manual of arms training but Jfc air shit culture is trash

Paintball is dying but airsoft has guns that feel and manipulate exactly the same as real guns

Paintball is a lot more chill in my experience

You can still practice tactics the manual of arms is just different

And what’s up my fellow okie

Just dry fire your actual guns sheesh

I can’t do that pointing at other people though

You get weird looks and the cops show up

Also yeah some bad apples, usually little kids or people who's entire personality is that they "were gonna join the army but..."

^

@Artemis IMO, you’ve got 3 options for that build
Buy a semi-high tier AR
Buy a mid tier AR and accurize it
Buy a middish tier bolt gun

The try hard kids I can handle because they are just edge lords

It’s the grown men who “I woulda been a ranger had I passed my PT test” that take it way to seriously

Most of the kids are actually okay though. Their aggression in play will really throw you for a loop if you're used to playing cautious and only taking shots when you know you'll hit

You'll be bunkered up then suddenly there's a tiny travis haley sprinting at you while putting 5 rounds in your chest

airsoft *stuff* can be good for training. Going and playing airsoft is not

If needed to head out with gear, you can practically carry just a rifle and pistol on you huh

Hurts my heart not to bring the rest of the goods

Dry fire real guns. Shoot real guns. Or buy the 22 LR version of your gun

Next build a 22lr bolt action AR 💪 lol

Dedicated 22lr AR’s are like 400bucks

M&P sports were on sale for 360 yesterday

Would the kali key that turns a 556 AR into a bolt gun work on the CMMG 22lr bolt🧐

Uhhh maybe?

Yea I want to buy the 22lr SW to be a fun silencer host

My dad had one of those with a silencerco on it, sweet way to train
