While many people have heard the term "cosplay" thrown around before, a lot of people still don't know what it means! The word itself is just defined as "the art of dressing up and portraying a character from fiction or popular culture", but in reality, it's so much more. It's about picking a fictional character and honoring them in real life.   The act of cosplaying has been around for as long as people have been dressing up as something, but back in the '80s, it began to gain popularity because of conventions. If you don't know what a convention is, it's basically a gathering place for fans of fiction, gaming and the like. It's not just about getting together with other people that have similar interests to you! The three big aspects of cosplay are the character itself (obviously), the maker and the photographer. Before anything else can happen, you need to decide who you want to be for your costume. Overview of Anime Cosplay An...

You'll learn all about airsoft firearms: how they work and what makes them unique, as well as some helpful tips for buying one and caring for it properly.   Airsoft guns are replica firearms which fire plastic BBs instead of bullets.

Crossbows are relatively new to hunting. To see them in action, watch any movie or TV show featuring archery or shooting. The first types of these weapons were developed around 1250 AD, when they replaced the traditional bow and arrow in combat.  They can fire projectiles at incredible speeds, because they use a system of pulleys to transfer power from the bow string to the projectile via a flexible bow arm which is typically powered by an elastic rubber band known as a "slingshot".  Swinging the bow arm back with much force increases the tension on the elastic rubber band which then stores up potential energy for release upon being pulled back once more by further tension on it. Hunting with Crossbows: When you are hunting, or even just taking a walk in the woods and it happens to be raining, having the right hunting weapon can give you an edge. However, hunting uses different shapes of crossbows such as recurve bows or compound bows.    It is important t...

Paintball pistol revolver   stands for a weapon that shoots specially designed paintballs filled with dye and paint, used in fields of competition called “paintball” games. When fired at close range, the paintballs leave behind bright splashes of dye on target -- making them ideal for use in scenarios such as assaults or tactical engagements in scenarios that require non-lethal weapons.  These pistol revolvers are generally used for close range and are typically operated with two hands allowing for greater effect. In paintball, the maximum number of shots fired in each round is 20 and most types of paintball pistols will hold less than this. It is also important to note that some paintballs are required to have a diameter of .68 caliber or less.  As a result, the use of shotgun shells with slugs larger than this diameter may not be permitted in these games. Paintball revolvers should be held with two hands but can be shot by one person if necessary. The most common ty...
