So today was a normal airsoft day, all the good games. The team leader of ours brought a Glock (Yes A real one, no kB) , So we each got a Mag. Well no one brought ear plugs, needless too say my ears are still ringing.

Be thankful you can still hear. I couldn't for about a day and any noise that I could hear hurt a lot. Lesson learned.

That's stupid and dangerous. One evening of fun to possibly loose or severely damage your hearing? Not really worth it. You could have at least shot one handed and used your off hand to plug one of your ears.

Sorry if I come off as harsh, but it's really important to use the plugs. That's why they're there.

Yeah like I said, I'm never doing that again unless theres earplugs involved.

I had a friend who used to use the butt end of spent .223 casings as earplugs. Apparently they worked exceptionally well.

Yeah and I remember it was a Glock 17, every shot I took I prayed it didn't explode, luckily it didn't.

the only glocks that exploded were old (gen 1 or 2) and chambered in .40 iirc

and yeah you damaged your hearing, probably not badly but earplugs are cheap as hell. you can buy boxes of 100 or 200 on amazon for $30 or so
