Always treat them as real firearms
- Finger out of the trigger
- Safety switch on
- Point the gun away from everyone (point low to the ground)
- Barrel plug on
You don’t have to act like you have experience holding a gun before. The only thing I see from behind the counter is you being stupid, pointing the gun towards me and your finger in the trigger as you check the iron sight. Then you hold the gun on it’s side inspecting the body, now the barrel is pointing at your friend next to you. Even though there is no battery and the selector is in safe, the AEG might have been left compressed from the last customer who test fired the gun. Then I see you pointing the barrel in your eye curious to see what the other end look like. At that moment the monkey metal gear inside might snap, releasing the piston. The BB that was chambered or dirt/dust inside the barrel gets pushed into your eyeball. You scream in pain, covering your eye as blood and other aqueous liquids leak between your fingers. It’s NO joke that’s exactly what I see.
Same goes with GBB. I’ve seen it happen so many times. Some guns have the gas tank inside the gun instead of inside the Mag.
Usually you are lucky, look at me with an oops face and laugh with your friends. That’s not what I see. No matter what age you are, a gun is a gun is a gun. Whether you are at home, at the game or in the store.
In the field. Yes everyone on the field has their goggles on, so you think you can be a bit lax hun?
With players everywhere there are occasional times you have your gun pointing at their chest and all that. But someone will eventually be fixing their goggle and pop goes an eye. There are no excuses to that and both of you will not be playing airsoft for life.
If we can shoot through pop cans like paper, we can rip through your eye ball.
