The airsoft rant

OK, I am absolutely fed up with 10 year old kids on youtube saying that airsoft is better than nerf, my points:

1. Why are they looking up nerf videos in the first place? Unless they have a secret passion for nerf and don't want to admit it, then they should just stick to things related to their sport.
2. A common point raised by Air-softers is "Nerf doesn't even hurt", two words: Singled titan, can your M4 replica draw blood? No? That's what I thought, moving on.
3. "Nerf guns shoot 2 feet" Your mini air-soft Semi-auto AK shoots 15, My modded longshot gets 50 feet flat. Also, a good air-soft pistol gets around 70 feet, a well modded nite-finder can get the same ranges, moving on.
4. Air-softers often compare stock nerf guns to their weapons, a modded nerf gun can easily get similar ranges to an air soft gun.
5. An Airsoft gun shoots a projectile that's slightly smaller than a pea, a nerf gun shoots a foam slug, you see where I'm going? An Airsoft springer would have trouble firing a nerf dart, and a nerf springer would be able to exceed the Airsoft guns original ranges with a BB with ease.
6. "Yeah, but us airsofter's can mod guns too" Really? A 14 year old is going to open up a 600$ Thompson replica? Good luck, I'm positive that people mod BB guns, but really, there's simply too much at stake.
7. Have we nerfers attacked airsofters? No! I'm just stating my points here, I'm not saying that airsoft sucks, I'm simply raising some points, if you like to play airsoft and can be responsible about it, please, be my guest and play your game.
8. But why not just play airsoft? We nerf because it's cheap, customizable, and requires a creative and skillful mindset.
Well, thats all folks, so let the nerfers nerf, and the airsofters airsoft, as long as there's no real conflict, we'll be fine.
