But the Pdw is so unrealistic its just awful to behold😉

Look up the definition of a keyboard warrior pal. Anyone who has met me will tell you I will say it quite happily in person not just hiding behind my keyboard. By the way I am using my phone so its more of touchscreen warrior ☺

I would hope all airsoft sites have ironclad directions to give to emergency services.

I carry a very basic first aid kit with me when I play (I have an IFAK on my kit... might as well use it!), saline for washing eyes if necessary, 2 israeli bandages, some sticky plasters, a tourniquet (you never know...), a small roll of gauze, and some zinc oxide tape.

Covers all the injuries I'm competent to deal with myself in the short term ranging from a scuffed knee to an arterial bleed.
 
Most of the likely first aid problems at an airsoft game just don't have a 'first aid' solution that you can easily carry around, heart attacks, sprains, broken bones, eye trauma... doesn't matter what kit you have to hand with a lot of those, it's going to be bad!

The ones for the 'sponsors'?

They look real enough that it doesn't matter. As for suspension of disbelief disaggree with that entirely its airsoft and if people remember its airsoft and only a game its generally more fun for everyone.Leave being a soldier to the real ones.

A Plague is a Plague regardless what the disease is, its only due to the English Plague of 1665 that in the English language it is now associated with Yersina Pestis AKA the Bubonic Plague.
 
Its still around in the wild and there are thousands of reports of it popping up here and there as its not locked down like say Smallpox is.

Factually incorrect, the disease that caused the black death still exists outside a laboratory.

Yeah because its so important that your toy bb gun is just like the real thing 😞

If we encourage people to break the law, defence or not, we encourage the law to take a closer look at the sport, at a time when a relevant Bill is in parliament is a poor time to go telling people these things.
 
Yes, UKARA is an expected [effective] defence and yes being an 'airsoft player' should be a sufficient [defence/reasonable excuse] to manufacture a realistic IF, but neither you nor I are qualified to say that it will be.

Read this. Technically[actually] having a belief that you have an applicable defence does not make illegal conduct legal, thus you're breaking the forum rules by categorically stating what the police will [in your opinion] do, in relation to an offence you're suggesting to be meaningless.
 
Many of us comment that being an airsofter should theoretically be [enough of a defence], but UKARA saved the sport, don't be the one to encourage the first airsofter to try the law in court and lose.

Hey guys,
 
Just thought I'd introduce myself!
 
Pretty new to airsoft, been doing it for about a month now and really wanting to improve from where I am as well as meeting a few new people along the way!
 
But yeah, guys nice to meet you all
 
Any tips please feel free to message me
 
 
 

So don't tell him how to then.

Awesome, how long have you been playing? You might get better value from a two tone rather than hiring, if you're sure you will like and play airsoft.
 
 
There is no laws or rules regarding imitation firearms and gifts.
 
 
 
There are many colours considered realistic, given you're only 15 and you've a long time to go before buying your own stuff i'd say have an adult in your family buy you a two tone gun in the £120-£160 range.
 
G&G Combat Machines (CM16/18) look okay with two tone rails, grip and stock. If you're holding the gun, the grip is in your hand, the stock in your shoulder and the rails covered with accessories it really wont matter.
 
And you will save your 'adult' a lot of pain, stress, and unease, over doing something perfectly legal.
 
Plus, the costs of bringing that adult along, paying hire, you're looking at an expenditure i'd expect £50 per person per game, whereas just £200 up front for a gun with batteries/charger + magazines (go mid cap!) is much more economical. And you can resell the gun if you don't like airsoft later.
 
 
UKARA and ownership are not related, only the 'sale of' is regulated. No one can tell you that you cannot possess or use any airsoft gun for airsoft on this basis.

Considering the male or female question, I have no doubt that your correct in your findings of only around 4% use but I just wanted data to reflect this.
Regarding the age question I did not want to use participants under the age of 18 on my survey - just due to using demographic total income only over the age of 18.
I do agree that a survey doesn't answer in detail many of the questions here I was just after some quick quantitative research.
I totally agree on the wording though I could have worded things better and will review.

Nice, well to be fair, I just used "psychology" as a substitute for a more meaningful explanation or elaboration on what I referred to. Nevertheless, you always get a survey proofed by a few people before letting them loose on the world, nothing is worse than having to retract one and ask the existing respondents to re-do it.
 
It doesn't hurt to answer your own survey 10+ times yourself using RNG and see if you get usable data.

Even so, is it not a bit odd there has been a steady increase in this stuff bin just the last week or so since FB went pear shape etc....
 
I get enough dodgy tax refunds give us your bank account crap and paypal account has been suspended bollox
 
Just coincidence perhaps ???

I doubt you'll find any airsofter that won't agree that £5 per hour, excluding game and safety briefings is expensive. You should change your game time question to 240. I can't see how any of the questions other than six (I agree with jedi, nothing) could possibly give you any useful data.
 
As for reserving places, just do email, and don't bother asking or catering for alternatives, don't use social media, it's amateurish and appears lazy. On question 5, public transport links or affordably ferrying to those links is important to me, and would make a huge difference. I've I identified 8 airsoft sites I can get to within 4km on public transport, but which I cannot reach without taxis - which are always too expensive. For that question (5) you should be asking "what makes you return to sites" - but if you don't know already, can't see a quiz helping you.

Maybe a few relevant details would help. Where are you planning opening this site? Is this arena going to be an indoor venue or open air? CQB?
 
Regarding Question 4- How far would you travel to play airsoft?
Is this one way or return trip? I have no sites under 20 miles, for a good one I will do 250 mile round trip.
 
Regarding Question 6 - How much are you typically willing to pay for 120 minutes of airsoft?
Answer nothing, unless I can get actual gameplay of 3+ hours in an evening or 6+ hours for a day then I am not interested in travelling to a site.
 
Regarding Question 8 - Would you consider using airsoft for a team building or party experience?
Are you including a private game day/night for airsofters to have a forum meeting?
 
If you are serious about a opening a new site, then it would be worth reading this thread about market research and forum views: http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/29709-hertfordshire-potential-new-site-market-research/?hl=hertfordshire
 
And this thread about Whitechapel: http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/29856-blitz-cqb-whitechapel-airbourne-airsoft/page-3?hl=heart#entry230894

Haha, no I meant that I was asking what it is that "manning up" would look like in this context (as a question). I felt i'd already manned up plenty already. Posting this in an open thread is a fairly big deal to me, as it could have been extremely poorly received. And in that regard was prepared to leave.

personally I'd rather pay less than half the price for a better product and wait a week for it.

The gun he's giving you as a gift?
 
You understand what a 'gift' is, right?

Thanks Sacarathe, I'll definitively consider doing a video about! It doesn't obscure at all, in my G&P ACOG 4X I used to have a metal net as a home made killflash, not on the outside but stuck very close to the lens.
 
That way I kept it more low profile and secured the lens very well, with no sight discomfort at all!
 
I'm going to post in the Off Topic -> Media section from now on as I've been told by the mods to do so, feel free to catch up on the latest video there and thanks for your feedback!

I joined arnies way back when I joined this forum, and while did not post sales here for a long time nor ever buy anything, I did give up trying to access arnies sales after 20 posts, everything I wrote was spamming and just for that purpose, in the end I left that forum altogether.
 
 
I put minimum post counts in the proposal at the suggestion of another user, they were never in my original concepts for change, and I agree with your decision.
 
EDIT: Don't know why this is the only issue I am defensive of. The fact is it was from previous feedback. Spose it's just an ironic coincidence that of all my proposals one I incorporated from others' suggestions is the one picked on and opposed most.

Overclockers is such a strong brand now that they charge a bit of a premium for that luxury

I'm a member of an other forum where they have a minimum post requirement for sales posts. The number of spam posts is high since the introduction of that rule.
