So if one was to simply listen, they wouldn’t be committing any offence? ??

I’ve heard that Camp Sparta is closing down next month!! A shame as the site reminded me a lot of Urban Assault which was also an RAF base, and also closed down!

@Sneaky Black Hawk Down got me into airsofting too! A mate at army cadets had replicas of the M733 and an M16 of the Bravo Two Zero variety. Went round their house to have a blat with them in the garden and next thing I was running about the woods at the local skirmish site.. haven’t looked back since!

Not been to AWA for years, a mate of mine is a marshal there and I keep meaning to get back!

Combat Airsoft has a paintball site on the grounds, and a much larger dedicated airsoft area. The only time you’ll bump into paintballers is in the car park or getting lunch!

I don’t think it was that long ago that he was still operating, with very much the same reputation!

Definitely recommend Combat Airsoft in Thetford if you don’t mind a drive!

Would be useful to know what sort of gun it is. The shop people are right, TM’s do come in sub-300 fps. 210 does sound low for yours though.

Standard load-out today, but added the battle belt which worked really well! It was nice to be able to quickly draw a spare magazine from the belt in the middle of a firefight. However.. must remember to put them in the right way up so I don’t try and load them upside down ?

Great day at Combat Airsoft near Thetford today. No issues with hit-taking and some really good enthusiastic players on both sides encouraging and helping the rentals. And to make it even better the sun came out and we won!

Just watched the trailer and it doesn’t look massively different to the last one but I know I’ll get suckered into buying it ? anyone else?

I’ve definitely seen that people have had issues because PayPal don’t support transactions involving firearms, but I think if you can prove if it’s airsoft then it’ll be grand! However, I’ve never had any problems personally with it.

We plan to have certain… incentives available for those who assist us ?

Looks like we’ll most likely be going Bears; hearts and minds, and bringing war criminals to justice sounds fun! ?

I’ve done both sides of it, full task force kit and cheap as you like Opfor gear; Opfor was definitely more fun! As others have said, kick off with the normal game days and hire kit first. If you’re totally sure (you’ll be hooked ?) after that then start looking at the milsims. Around London-ish you’ve got Gunman, Legion and probably others I’ve forgotten ? Reforger near Watford have got a milsim in July if that’s not too soon! Mostly you will need to supply your own kit, although Gunman are one company who can provide the necessaries!

I had one of those when I first started airsofting, absolutely gutted I sold it because it was a really great and simple bit of kit! And doesn’t break the bank either!

11th June - I’ll be at Combat Airsoft in Thetford. Come and say hello!

Mmmm Combopen ?

Good day at RIFT The Ridge! Years since I was last there (in a 4x4) so it was interesting to see it from an airsoft perspective. The site is massive, but due to the extremely undulating nature of the ground and thick vegetation, I think 90% of all engagements throughout the day were at no more than 20m. At one point I was the opposite side of a small ridge line to the enemy taking potshots, but because of the bushes they just couldn’t find me ? Kit wise I had my TM recoil, decided to run my battle belt along with my chest rig. If it wasn’t for the fact that the belt kept undoing itself as I was crawling around I probably would have been tempted to just use that all day; it was only in the final 20 minute game that I actually used more than 3 magazines. So for now at least I think my shooter belt build will be shelved while I try to justify it! RIFT ran a tight ship and good game as always, there was the normal moaning but non-hit taking but as I only seemed to be getting shot by our own team I can’t comment on that! Not sure we’ll rush back in a hurry as the steep hills have completely knackered me, but it was a great one off for a bit of variation.

Loadout for RIFT The Ridge today! Ended up cutting down the kit I was carrying by the end of the first game but all worked out!

Got it ?

@Skullchewer glad to hear they finally arrived!

I’ve got an Inforce WML on my Mk18 and mount it on the left hand; 9 o’clock rail. Never had an issue with shadows being cast but then the light head only sits about an inch short of the flash hider.

I think it’s a good idea and could be of use to those trying to build specific kits. However, as mentioned be prepared to be told that you’re wrong by the loadout and experts.
