Is Airsoft Better Than Paintball?
By Niall Roche, Thu Dec 8th
This question is bound to stir debate and controversy amongstthe most ardent of airsoft or paintball fans. Both airsoft and paintball are both hobbies based on replicafirearms and wargames. Is this unhealthy? That depends moreso onthe person themselves rather than the hobby. An interest inpursuing a hobby that involves weaponry only becomes unhealthyif taken to extremes - which is true of most things in life.Paintball and airsoft are not morbid hobbies and only run therisk of being dangerous when participated in by dangerous people. Paintball itself is a more mobile sport. It requires a certainlevel of physical fitness, mobility and skill - if you paintballthen you gotta be able to move fast. The weapons themselves arefunctional and are only designed to serve the purpose of thesport as opposed to looking good. Paintball rifles are designedto take a real beating when it comes to their use. Paintballfans fall into the 'extreme sport' category and enjoy the pureadrenaline of each paintball match and are driven by the desireto win.
Airsoft is a somewhat different sport. The guns used in airsoftare both conversation pieces and are also functional sports'weapons'. Airsoft rifles and pistols are capable of firing bothsmall plastic pellets and paint filled pellets so are usefulboth in the sport itself and also for backyard target practice. The major difference is the power of the guns themselves.Paintball guns are driven by high powered gas cylinders whereasairsoft guns fire projectiles either

<div>From plants to parks. From dealerships to driveways. From gas stations to grocery stores. What happens in the automotive industry affects each and every one of us. In fact, the collapse of the U.S.-based auto industry wouldn't just impact the more than 239,000 Americans directly employed by the Big Three. One out of every 10 people in America is employed in a service that is related to the U.S. auto industry. If a plant closes, so does its suppliers, the local stores, the hot dog vendors, and the local restaurants.......</div><br>
Pentagon Clears Flying-Car Project for Takeoff
Pentagon mad-science division Darpa is helping build thought-controlled robotic limbs, artificial pack mules, real-life laser guns and "kill-proof" soldiers. So it comes as no surprise, really, that the agency is now getting into the flying-car business, too.
Darpa hopes its "Personal Air Vehicle Technology"
project, announced yesterday, will ultimately lead to a working
prototype of a military-suitable flying car -- a two- or four-passenger
vehicle that can "drive on roads" one minute and take off like a
helicopter the next. The hybrid machine would be perfect for "urban
scouting," casualty evacuation and commando-delivery missions, the
agency believes.<br><br>[ <a href="http://blog.wired.com/defense/2008/11/darpas-flying-c.html">source</a> ]<br>
Constitutional Dead Letters
<div>by <a href="mailto:rogerroots@msn.com">Roger Roots</a> | Historians of Soviet Russia occasionally note that the communist workers’ paradise was originally intended to adhere to a written constitution that expressly guaranteed freedoms such as speech, press and assembly. In practice, however, none of the freedoms guaranteed in the Soviet constitution were recognized in the country’s legal system, and millions of dissenters and suspected dissenters were imprisoned or killed for disagreeing with the commissars of the state.</div><br><div>The United States Constitution, by contrast, is thought to be in <a href="http://townhall.com/columnists/LauraHollis/2008/10/29/a_president_who_wont_uphold_the_constitution_never">good standing</a>. Yet there are numerous provisions of the U.S. Constitution that are never enforced. These provisions, analogous to “dead letters” in the U.S. Postal System, are either totally ignored by federal judges or given such a narrow construction that they might as well not exist. As columnist and curmudgeon Joseph Sobran <a href="http://www.sobran.com/columns/1999-2001/990518.shtml">has written</a>, the Supreme Court has, in essence, exercised a “line-item veto” over the [docs], totally ignoring provisions that interfere with the justices’ national vision or social objectives.<br><a href="http://rinf.com/alt-news/politics/constitutional-dead-letters/4851/">http://rinf.com/alt-news/politics/constitutional-dead-letters/4851/</a></div><br>Read more for some examples

through springs, electronicfiring mechanisms or with compressed gas. The issue is that mostairsoft guns lack the range and accuracy of the larger paintballguns simply because they were never designed with long rangefire in mind. Conversely airsoft guns are available in a huge range of stylesand models. Everything from a Glock handgun to a sniper rifle toa CAR15 assault rifle. Airsoft guns are equally at home hangingin your livingroom or at use on the airsoft playing field. Youcan even go as far as buying an airsoft minigun. Many airsoftfans simply collect the guns and never get involved in airsoftwargames at all. This is the much the same as many swordcollectors - they display the weapons at home but don't gorunning around waving them at people. The truth is that neither airsoft nor paintball is superior.They're both a case of personal preference. If you're theextreme sports type then paintball will suit you more. If you'remore of a collector then airsoft will be more you thing. Regardless of whether you're a paintball fan or an airsoft fanit's essential to take proper safety precautions when usingthese guns. Proper eye protection in the form of safety gogglesshould always be worn and suitable protective clothing to coveryour neck and upper torso should also be worn. Even though somepeople see these as guns as toys they are capable of causinginjury either through accident or even deliberate malice.
