I'd rather have a wank with sandpaper gloves than go to that shitshow
I dunno mate. Naff pretty much describes the airsoft aspects of the weekend.....
Pretty sure individually pulling out my pubes with tweezers would also be more fun than attending......

Bloody hell, even an MP couldn't say that with a straight face. In my experience cunts and cheaters are attracted to it like flies to a fresh dog turd
Careful, you'll give the guys at Killbox ideas

Since delving into this hobby I have learnt 2 things from those that go
1. The social and those you know make the weekend
2. The Airsofting is shit
Those people that left the toys in the car all weekend had the best time....

Seems to me that it's an airsoft event for people who don't really like playing airsoft. So, basically a bunch of sweaty middle aged men desperate to hang out with other sweaty middle aged men, dress up in overpriced fetish gear, and compare piston sizes. I'll stick to motorcycle meets for that, thanks.

????????
Don't know which NAF you're going to, but that is not the general consensus I've heard from others.

You know the old saying: if you can't spot the sucker at the poker table, then it's you.
I suspect that can be generalised to wankers and airsoft.

Brother was gauging my interest about attending NAF in '24 (too busy for this year) and apart from trade stands, food and it being a piss-up I wasn't terribly interested. I read stories about how the queue for chono was over an hour long and the standard of play (for those who did play) was shit and not even worthwhile.
Am I pretty much in the right area?

Hey at least they chrono......
I went to a walk on day at ground zero and they didnt bother. Oddly enough myself and the guys I went there with walked off at lunchtime after "oops we've forgot the chrono, anyone got a hot gun"
"HPA players you're all set to legal fps, right" and the ever classic "your first mistake was using midcaps here".
That last one was after identifying a particularly obviously dressed player to a marshall having expended 2 mags at him at close range and been ignored (the rifle I was using at the time was notorious for being freakishly accurate and consistant, it was like a laser and at the kind of range that bbs could be seen bouncing off him).

I have played GZ maybe a dozen times over the years since 2005. Never chrono'd once. Ever.
I don't play there anymore - even though it's my 'local' site 15-20mins down the road.

Pretty much. If I'm going to sit in a field getting pissed for the weekend then there's no way I'm paying 100 odd quid for it
That's about the standard for the NAF and it gets worse on the Sunday afternoon. A highlight for me was the kid who I shot in the chest from about 10 yards with my 8mm shotgun. He then ducked into the ferns (I could see them moving as he moved) and when he stuck his head up again I gave him the good news, at which point he started bitching about overkill.
As for the marshals, I got the impression they were more interested in struting around going look at me in my hi vis vest, I'm important than doing their job.
The last part which really put me off returning was the number of idiots walking round the safezone with a finger on the trigger and the safety off. Combine this with I hardly saw anyone actually make sure they didn't have one up the spout and I'm surprised nobody lost an eye

Portsmouth based myself, figured "fuck it a game day is better than a sunday sat round bored" turned out I was wrong.
@CannonfoddertCannonfodderthis was just a normal walk on with less people and therefore supposedly better marshall to punter ratio. My NAF stories are worse. That said all the marshalls on that day were too busy stood in a group discussin their saturday night to actually get involved in running the games.

Well I'll put a good word in for the national Airsoft event.
I've been going there since 2016 and will go again this year(god willing)because,in my opinion, it's a good,well run event with bonuses that aren't offered at any other Airsoft venue.(correct me if I'm wrong).
It's fine if you have tried it and decided it's not your thing but if you have never gone then it's a bit like the argument along the lines of 'I hate prawns,I've never tasted one myself but a friend said they are disgusting'
It's a good,fun getaway,in my opinion, with the chance of finding some good bargain gear. Oh and the gameplay is pretty good too ?
Chrono is pretty strict and diligently enforced. I have been in game checked.
