If you’re not familiar with this movie, we’ll summarise: some dude kills Johnny Mnemonic’s dog so he goes on a killing spree against Russian gangsters. Not the most in-depth plot in history, but beautiful in its simplicity, allowing us to enjoy the action.
Accuracy is essential when it comes to airsofting. You aren’t going to win very easily if you can’t hit anyone. Airsoft scopes give you a competitive edge by helping you line up that perfect shot.
