Title: Well, got an airsoft gun, guess it was just a matter of time until I hit my eye.

Yup, like a Christmas story all over again, though not in the conventional sense. I didn't hit myself in the eye with a bb by shooting, but by loading the magazine.  The little spring release is on the other side which you don't really look at while loading, and when I had gotten up to 8 bbs or so, I guess my finger nudged it, and the shot up into my face  :-DD

I just got a rain of bb's spraying me in the face, and stayed still for a couple seconds before facepalming and laughing at the situation, not the first time some have popped out, but first time I was hit by any. I'm just glad I had quite a few in, if there are only a couple they tend to take off pretty good.

Who knows, it might be a relaxing spa treatment somewhere :p

You are better off modding a Nerf gun. Nerf guns modded in this fashion beat any airsoft gun by a mile.

I wonder how they do it...?

Good Luck,

Most likely really easy to do ti with nerf guns, and I was a nerf fanatic, still have quite a few around that I've done some mods to, but I wanted to get something more realistic in terms of weight and size, not to mention having ammunition in a magazine.

This is just a spring one, but it has a metal slide, at some point I am going to get a full metal gas blowback one, but this is fine for now, and the one I really want can't be shipped to Canada because, of all things, it fires to slowly.

I mean, what the hell? Fires too slowly yet it's totally fine to take the orange ends off here.  :palm:
