If you’re looking to be hit on by soccer moms, work at a gas station.

That or I’m just a cougar magnet. Seriously, this is getting ridiculous.

That's better than attracting mostly underage people... Bahahaha

Tournament: Alabama Airsoft Armory

Interesting group of players here, but what caught my eye is the girl’s rifle. It’s pink, but it’s not PINK pink, you know? So it looks goods and still works in the field, obviously. I wish companies would tone if down on the brightness when they try to make “feminine" guns and go for something more like that grungier looking pink. It’d likely still sell, but be taken a bit more seriously. :)

I totally agree with you, the issue with the whole “femme fatal" type of weapon is the fact that men feel like if they want more women to play airsoft that they have to make a pink gun, and not even a sensible color of pink. I feel like they should just never even produce pink guns, and leave it up to the customer to decide if they want to paint it or not. She had her gun painted that color, because its a more sensible shade of pink. on another note, I suggested to her boyfriend that they put a breast cancer awareness sticker on the lower receiver. Because that is what I would do If I owned a pink gun. in the future I hope I can showcase more female players, rather than adding to the saturation of male players. :)

Lower receiver or maybe on the stock depending on the size? But seriously, companies need to spend much less money making guns girly colors to get us to play and focus more on fitted gear that’s more our size. Guns can be customized, but finding masks and tac gear that works and is made for this sorta thing? I can rarely find something that works for me. But speaking of breast cancer awareness, I could really see guns being specially painted for charity events that are more for raising money than being used seriously. Like, dipped camo for a wounded warriors thing, the gundam rifle for a children’s charity, maybe, a light pink rifle for breast cancer awareness… Obviously it’d be more than just the paint job, it’d include extras (optics, grips, tickets to play, exclusive offers) to make it more worthwhile, but it’d be a cool idea.

I look forward to seeing more from you tho. :)

^companies need to stop making gear for just size fat… I’m a smaller male and Im lucky enough to be able I afford gear that actually fits me, but those are usually true tac gear not replicas. Pantac is the only replica gear company that actually sizes their gear so you can find gear that fits.

I have to custom fit most gear to fit my body, I am thin. Most companies won't make gear for the minority, and by minority I mean women and skinny males. Especially,real gear makers, the majority of people buying are larger males, most likely in the military or law enforcement. Companies that make replicas have to make smaller kits, because the majority is young males.
