ahh the old waterproof microphone for those karaoke moments in the shower.

Evening All,
 
Thought we should start a thread for arranging a meet, perhaps getting some regular games in and potentially a team?
 
I'm personally from East Sussex, been playing for years. Rarely have the chance to skirmish as I can never get the numbers.
 
The Mall would be the ideal place, alongside anything outdoors just to keep it varied.
 
Anyone from the area should jump ion this thread, let's get a nice meet and greet going, who knows if some of us are local enough maybe grab a few pints one night.

it's only 4 inches, but it smells like a foot!

100 or so then they are talking in imperial ft no mtrs
 
or shooting downwards off the cliffs at Dover or something like that
 
though my m8 got a gun from JBBG and out range everybody - best gun evvvaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh

to me I try and travel light....
All I need is a mag with bb's - nothing too fancy a 5k box mag will suffice
and the biggest national grid battery I can stuff/tape on my cheapo pile of crap gun
 
My fellow team mates however like to be prepared for any occasions that may arise....

Well here goes.
 
Colonel Kurtz
 
Hes a player I have played against and on the same side a few times.
 
Hes a sneaky sod who likes to flank the enemy and generally get into places you least expect someone to be. Hes also a good attacking player who you can rely on to storm an area with you.
 
Never seen an issue with hit taking and I have shot him a few times. Generally a well mannered relaxed player.
 
Hes a good player to have on your side as he goes for the objectives and doesnt just camp around for kills (you get a lot of that at the mall).
 
Hes a lot quieter in person than he seems on here. Comes across quite reserved but definitely doesn't play that way.
 
All in all a decent player, cant really say a bad word about him, except maybe he shot me in the finger from about 2ft away a few weeks back and it was the one that had only just stopped hurting from when I fractured it playing in June. B@stard!
 
 
Someone elses turn to spill the beans on other forum members now. Lets hear what they are really like.

If they only use their BMW to go to a club once a month where all the other people with BMWs pretend they're racers then of course I'd find it amusing. But you're right, it's their money.

I have given my opinion in the video and I would be happy to retype it for you if it would help
 
I'm a milsim player and I enjoy it over the standard skirmish type game as explained in the video also if it helps here is the general kit I use explained below -
 
I don't think what I have spent is excessive at all ?
 

Dont think hes doing anything wrong. Hes not advertising just putting up his own personal reviews. This one leads to a discussion (piss take trolling) which is all good.

If your trousers cost more than your gun then you're probably playing milsim.

Well if I go Sunday I will let you all know what it's like.

Actually found the rental/noobs to be pretty good at epsom theh tend to turn up in thin jumpers and trousers so they know when they have been pinged seeing as epsom is also full auto cqb you tend to get a yelp and screamno chance of denying a hit on that.
 
Last week though a veteran was not only bullet proof he also ignored tbe rules of where you could and couldnt go claimed he was hiding in a room which 5 of us swept so had to have come from the tunnel not in use to get behind us
 
Bit frustrating but when we got our chance 5 people with full auto made it all better

Yup I'll admit to delayed reaction when pumped up
 
Group of people screaming at me OK ffs I didn't recognise it in that split second coz I couldn't work out where it came from.
 
A fortnight ago one bb must have grazed my top arm so much I called it but asked a marshal if he had hit tested me but said no, like I said I called it already and was obviously enemy just just grazed me to think it came from marshal on my left side.
 
End of the day, don't take it too seriously or get too worked up about it all. Then you just call it even if unsure
 
Which is the exactly what airsoft relies upon
 
Don't get too stressed if you see a bb bounce of an enemy, just tell yourself they need a two hit handicap and go for the second shot, followed by the rest of you mag until the bastid calls it.
 
Seriously, all sites the odd incident or dubious player(s)
Kids rental or noobs usually but you do get the odd veteran from time to time. If it bothers you or gets too much and marshals do little then try another site coz numerous non-hit takers can really ruin game/fun or even a site's reputation
 
I hopefully play as fair as possible hopefully just calling it at times that it might be rebound
If I feel 2 shots that were most likely to be rebounds I call it just in case it was a direct hit I haven't seen
 
Well that the way I think/play with my hand on heart

The biggest reason for non hit taking is the amount of gear people wear. Some people have so much kit and protection on they just dont feel it. I am sure there must have been times when someone has hit my mag pouches and I havent felt it but others take it to the extreme with thick plate carriers and even backpacks and dont get me started on the hard shell crowd.
If people would just thin down their gear it wouldnt be such an issue.

Airsoft relies on people taking their hits, otherwise it'd devolve into a sadomasochistic event where people just shoot each other until someone uses the safety-word or has to change their underpants.
 
In my experience, everyone who plays airsoft regularly has the right idea about taking hits and how to behave in their mind. However, many people aren't used to adrenaline, or any shade of combat, and many people can behave in a manner they're hopefully embarrassed about once the juices get going. People can get trapped in the moment, and the most common kind of non-hit-taking i witness is those who don't acknowledge the hit until their current purpose has been completed (like the person they're shooting at taking the hit). Then the logic side of the brain takes back over from caveman and order ensues.
 
There's nothing airsoft can do to stamp it out other than turning it into laser-quest, or making everyone use tracers, or have 1 marshal per person like in some those mental Japanese tournaments I've seen online.
 
The best thing the community can do is to make the process of taking the hit seem easier and more enjoyable. This is achieved by all those good-sporting types who congratulate people when hit and cheerfully skip back to re-spawn. Kudos to you all, I try, but sometimes barely able to squeak 'hit' let alone any kind of congrats (the arm goes up with a raised thumb on reflex now, I've beaten the paintball urge to check my clothing for marks finally hehe)

I apply camo cream to all of my BBs anyway so that no one sees them coming.

Maybe I have been lucky but in two years I have only once booked and been told it was full and the website was wrong. I have booked in the day before quite a few times, if there is a problem they will let you know anyway the same as when they confirm the booking.The torch is basically a necessity.
Games are won or lost by getting or not getting the objectives nothing to do with peacocks unless the objective is in there.
Basements can bottleneck sometimes but there is usually a way round and you can push through any choke point if you try.
Dont camp on the concourse like some of the highcap heroes or on the balcony. There is opportunities
to move around everywhere just explore.
Main thing is have fun, play the objectives dont get trapped into pointless standoffs.
 
And dont fall down the stairs it hurts.

@trigger, if you're looking at the website. I wouldn't bother, its never up to date. It's been booked out before and still shows as spots available.
 
Hope I'm wrong for your sake, other than that just get there at 7:40ish to guarantee walk on on the day.
 
And regarding tips, llukiie, take a torch for starters. Peacocks is generally where games are won and lost. Basement is often bottlenecks, the corridors behind the shops are great for flanking. Always watch out for the balcony if you are on the main concourse. Most of all, have fun!

Married / Grounded
Not much in it really
 
Know this though.....
 
Behind every great man - stands a great woman
and right behind that great woman
is another man checking out her ar$e

They aren't cheap, and the mags make it worse. I got really lucky with mine due to some kindness from Hef Legend on here, so we will have to see

As others have said the GBB version is a cracking gun.

Simple answer..........YES.
 
I have the GBB and it's bloody fantastic!

Yes Ive got one as well. Great SMG

You're damn right they're much more satisfying - I don't even own a single AEG anymore for this reason.
