Who's better?
Would you enjoy it?
Does Alex kick Norah in the face?

We wanted to know what a competition shooter at the top of his game thinks about Airsoft and if he would measure up in the arena.
We wanted to see what an elite Airsofter at the top of her game can do with some real steel.

We started at an Airsoft CQB arena where we played some airsoft games.
Then Alex and Nonocat had a one-on-one match. We then went to the range to see how well airsoft does with a real firearm.
We started off with a Glock 19 with a Trijicon RMR and then moved onto the CZ Shadow 2 with a Trijicon SRO optic.
We then moved to the Kriss Defiance DMK .22 with a Trijicon MRO and a Surfire weaponlight.

A lot of fun!

Who gives a %&*$ about XXXXX?

It's a game, it's a gun, it's not for me...it's dangerous!
Yup, a lot of people react that way.
Until they try it.
