The First Step.

"Hi, my name is John, and I'm an airsoft addict."

It didn't start off that way. I'd like to think it started off slow and gradually degenerated into the obsessive, compulsive hobby/lifestyle that it now is. Truth be told, I was spellbound the moment I opened up the box containing my first electric airsoft gun - a Tokyo Marui Heckler & Koch MP7A1. An AEP (automatic electric pistol) in airsoft parlance it came as a complete kit; gun, battery and charger as well as a couple of spare bags of bbs.

Open the box, charge the battery. Ready to bring mayhem to the back garden, I loaded up the black bbs - they seemed like a good idea at the time - and let rip. Was it firing?. Don't know. Hmmn. Severe IQ failure ensued. Hand in front of barrel. Pulled trigger. Automatic mind, none of this semi-auto nonsense. By eck it hurt!!! What a fanny... I still couldn't keep the grin off my face..

I was like a crack addict after their first hit. Hooked, and on the fast track to complete addiction.
