Little tribute to my former unit's heydays.

👋🏻Hey everyone! Thought I’d introduce myself my name is David, but on the field I go by Foreign Airsofter. I’m originally from Latvia, and after serving in the French Foreign Legion, the nickname “Foreign Airsofter” just felt right a little nod to both where I come from and my time in service. For years I wanted to get into Airsoft, but life always seemed to get in the way. Finally, at the beginning of this year, I decided it was time to jump in and I’ve been playing as much as I can ever since! How it all started I built a campervan in the UK, and my partner and I set off on a nearly 3-month road trip around Europe. On my birthday during that trip, I decided to treat myself I bought my first Airsoft rifle and officially started my Airsoft journey! Originally, I wanted to go down the sniper route, but after doing some research and chatting with more experienced players, I decided to start with an AEG. I picked up a Tokyo Marui HK416D, and I absolutely love it it’s almost identical to the one I used during my time in the French Foreign Legion. When I got back to the UK, I dug out my old army uniform from the attic, grabbed a chest rig and helmet off AliExpress, strapped a GoPro to my head and hit the UCAP Bunker with just one mag and had an absolute blast! I even recorded that first game for my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ForeignAirsofter Since then… My collection has definitely grown (I’ve even managed to get my dad hooked on Airsoft 😄). I keep telling my missus I keep “winning” new gear somehow, but for some reason she’s not buying that excuse! Funny story before my very first game, I actually took my HK416 apart just to understand how it worked, and that’s where my interest in tinkering and upgrading began. I’ve since added a sniper rifle to my loadout and really enjoy both playstyles. I love big outdoor fields and Milsim events, though I don’t mind a good CQB session now and then. I used to play regularly at Ground Zero and UCAP Bunker, but I’ve recently moved to South Wales so I’m looking forward to checking out the local sites and meeting more like minded players in the area! I did use a my fried GPT to make my gibberish easier to read ahha

Now it's getting lovely and cold it's getting easier to get the cool kits sorted out. Busting out my Partizan suit and setting my 6sh117 up for keeping me on the field as long as possible. Got a hydro bladder mounted to the back and space for plenty of magazines. The rpk mags are fantastic for holding my coupled pp19 mags or the backup P90 mags for larping like it's the original modern warfare 2 load outs. Also fits my grach nicely on the belt so I can lay prone without poking anywhere sensitive.

Seriously wtf is going on with used Airsoft lol

Deadpool (Soft Pool?) 2.0 got some photos yesterday. I'd done a cosplay show earlier and thought I'd get some shots with the shiny new drum Deagles. I'm also making an appearance at LAC's zombie night next month, so I got some shots of the Zombie Pool mask too. Not gonna be to everyone's taste, but I usually get a few laughs (and shot in the ass a lot! 😆)
