The cost of airsoft!
I've got an event I'm signed on for on May 25th. It already cost $40 to do because I was dumb and didn't pay only $25 to be an all-day zombie player. Problem is, my only gun is busted.
So to get a decent gun, I need to spend a minimum of $50. Then a pack of 6 shells for the shotgun I'm eyeing is $14 on top of that, so I'm exceeding $100 just to get a gun and 18 shells (it's a tri-shot, so with the shell it comes with that's a total of 190 pump-action shots before I run out of ammo). There's a revolver for $10, but it's a crappy springer with barely any range and Evike is out of stock on shells, so that's only 6 shots before I need to reload every shell by hand. The gas revolver has shells available, but the gun itself costs $50 and the shells cost minimum $7 for a pack of 8. There's a cheaper shotgun for $36, but a pack of two spare magazines (each only holding 14 rounds) is $10. So it'll cost $76 plus shipping and handling just for the gun and 6 mags.
Then I need to spend $9 to $15 on a gun bag (because walking around Ocala with an exposed firearm is a no-no and I don't feel like shoving anything down my pants, especially if it's metal), either $5 on a shell belt or $25 each for two dump bags (and $25 more for the MOLLE rig to fit it to). Another $14 for gloves so I don't bruise my knuckle on a flying BB. And they (hopefully accidentally) put me on the Militia team, which means spending $15 on woodland camo if they don't fix it and put me back on Civilian.
The only good news is that once I buy this shit, I won't have to buy it again.
