.... I'm Asian. Airsoft is like the Japanese version of Paintball. Nuff said.

I also like the fact that I can network with a lot of people I probably wouldn't have met anyways. Other people who have similar interests as I do, and sometimes even other professionals. Case in point, I was looking for a co-op job for university, posted on a local airsoft forum and got a potential lead on a company that hires a lot of students but it seems like my school doesn't have contact with them so it's all good.

Hell just this year even not professionally I've met another student who's into airsoft, I'm going on an alps trip with another guy who's also in Europe on Exchange, I have someone on my MSN that's half way across the country from me.

Also the community tends to weed out the assholes, cheaters and scammers fairly well. I mean there are some but it's not as common as in paintball with their wiping and all that (except stock/open class paintball, I have respect for those guys).
