I don't know about you but no amount of fancy ARs or AKs, custom built or exotic auction win will ever seem to replace the feeling you get after completing a big "spud" launcher and firing it off for the first time.

I've even had the honor to shoot .50 BMGs out here in Colorado at truly long ranges and also rapid fire at big steel barrels...

Nope - that hybrid golf ball gun will always have top dibs haha.

Very true. I built this one completely from parts though so I guess I felt a little better about it, but still not the same as sawing into some pipe yourself.

Even though it's my bread and butter, my personal airsoft gun collection has never been extensive. I recently found an old (probably made in the early 2000s) Tokyo Marui MP5SD6 however, and to scratch an itch turned it into a 30 round per second CQB machine, complete with the latest in bluetooth-connected fire control technology

Now I guess you need Rit-job STABO and ALICE gear, a flight deck helmet, and a balaclava.
