Yes it is on there web site you have to use their bio’s . I’m not actually bothered by this as once my stock of ‘normal’ ammo finally runs out I’m planning to change to bio and their pricing isn’t that expensive but when he said no you can’t use any other brand even from a sealed container I did think NOW your starting to take the piss . Exactly this .

Did tell them that very thing , and I also asked about other brands of ammo in sealed bottles to be told by some old codger I hadn’t seen till lunchtime that they used these ones as (not saying I would) “players could easily swap white non bio for white bio” ? But yet the .3 and above ammo which was near twice the price WAS white’ish !? Edit ; the ammo is green devil bio I googled it and it isn’t on retail in the UK just whole sale , but it is retailed in other countries . They charge £13.50 for 5000 .25’s on site , found it for sale in Holland and it was 12.40€ a bag so not too much of a mark up I suppose.

Went to Spartan airsoft woodland last Sunday (started my hunt for a new site after getting banned from my home site !?) arrived safe and sound paid green fees , had a chat with a marshal (very nice chap) had a positively orgasmic ? and ? ? and discovered tea and coffee was free , Result ! Game brief took a fair old while and was a slow start to the day , didn’t get first game started till 10.40 ! I will let this slide as it was their first game back after the most recent lockdown so gonna have a few ‘hiccups’ . Now the downside to my day , they insist on bio ammo that’s bought from them so they can control it’s origin (don’t have a problem with that) BUT the problem is all ammo of .28 and below is a sort of dark coffee colour and the site is heavy pine forest so it’s quite dark and gloomy , now if this was a well lit site wouldn’t be a problem but it isn’t so you just can’t see your shots in flight at all so even with a perfectly dialled in scope due to the vagaries of shooting small spherical objects out of a smooth bore barrel and the effect the ambient weather can have on them you just can’t confirm if your shots are on target or not . By the end of just the first game I found I was starting to getting well frustrated by this . Even after I spent a good 10mins on their range and confirmed to my self my rounds where spot on when using my scope I still found it hard to just accept I wasn’t hitting any of the other team when I thought I must have hit them(now I’m no Mega Airsoft dealer of death by any stretch of the imagination but I do find it hard to believe I only had 1 kill all day ?) when at all the other sites I’ve been too I’m always well in to double figures by lunchtime , simply because with out the visible confirmation of my rounds in flight I didn’t know if I was even anywhere near my target player let alone hitting them . I seriously doubt I’ll be going back there any time soon for this reason which is a shame as the sites a nice one , everybody both staff and players where friendly and the standard of gameplay was excellent but I left the site feeling unfulfilled which I’m not prepared to travel all the way from Swansea to Bristol airport and not really enjoy a gameday , especially when it’s setting me back close to £130 for the day . Say’la’vie . keep on looking ! ?

Well bugger ! ? It is , but does leave a sticky residue ! ?

Me three ! I do love a bit of TM when I wanna shoot my white load over someone ! ? Was recommended to to partake of this thread simply for this mongtard as I don’t have an interest in gas rifles (so I was missing the party ) glad I did now , on a scale of “la la la I’m not listening !” To “it’s my ball so if you won’t let me score a goal I’m taking it home !” He’s definitely a solid “because my mummy said you must so there !” ?‍♂️ ?????

Let me guess “taken out of context” ? AND we’ll make a politician out of you yet ? ?

You use the phrase 1st world problems as if it’s something to be ashamed off , yes the pictures coming out of Afghan are horrendous BUT it’s nothing new is it ? Every time you switch on the news there’s more and more horror and suffering played out in 4KHD from some 3rd world shithole wether it’s famine/war/climate change/political upheaval/etc that’s caused it , but there is literally nothing we can do about any of it except offer some false sympathy and send the ubiquitous ‘thoughts and prayers’ and some loose change from down the back of the sofa to be embezzled by the corrupt government of what ever country it is so the locals will be lucky to get 20p on the pound that gets sent ? Yes this may be a ‘1st world problem’ but just because no ones getting killed or displaced or what ever still doesn’t mean it’s not possibly going to have a massive effect on the person experiencing it ?

Sorry my friend but this simple comment shows your well and truly f**ked mate ! ???If the mrs is telling you to hang on to your kit ‘just in case’ and not sell it all off for beer tokens that she can then purloin of you in the first place then yea she’s got something even bigger planned for your poor old bones . ☠️⚰️☠️

This sounds so much like me at the moment, after the fiasco of being banned from my ‘home’ site I really felt like binning the whole thing for good but luckily I’ve got a couple of amazing friends I’ve made through the game and they’ve kept my head above the stormy waters of giving up(they both said off their own backs even after I said they should still play there due to the ease of getting there they’ll never go back to black ops after the way I’ve been treated , one even quoted the musketeers “one for all and all for one” at me ! Proper friends) any whoo we tried out ‘Spartan woodland’ on Sunday having never been there before nice site(pine woodland) , friendly staff really good gameplay ‘BUT’ you have to use their own bio ammo (not a problem) only thing is it’s pale brown and you can’t see it for shit in the gloom of the woods ! So you really don’t know where your rounds are going no matter how good your sights are dialed in . Now point of this ramble is I ditched all my specific loadouts and matching guns and just took a couple of different AK’s and a few high-caps and even though I think I only got three kills the whole day I did still enjoy the day to an extent simply for running ‘ultra’ light by my standards . So I’d say give it a try before you bail completely .?

Wahhhhhhh ! ? Fifteen love , first service !

Can certainly appreciate the technicality of the work that went in to the printed parts but f**k me sideways and call me Florence that has to be the most fugly gun it has EVER been my misfortune to see !? Think I need to go wash my eyes out with neat shampoo ! ?

Wash your mouth out with a bar of soap ? ! Real men don’t have willpower and four thought , real men have the tensile strength of a kitkat left in the sun all day and buckle the instant they see something shiny ! ???

You may be old enough to know better , but you are NEVER too old to care less ! ?

Apology happily accepted , it did even after re-reading in the soggy light of day come across as a ‘wee bit’ sanctimonious hence the tirade back . Also as you’ve said I also stand by my opinion on the subject , I would love to support the whole of the U.K. airsoft retailers community BUT you can only be let down and pissed upon so many times before you do say “fuck it my moneys going elsewhere” .

No not angry just fed up of sanctimonious people passing judgment on me .

Unfortunately NOT everyone is so blessedly lucky like you and has a shop on their doorstep , there are no shops in South Wales at all , the nearest shop to me is over a 3hrs drive and when I did go there it turned out to be a piss poor one at that(and to really put the cherry on top the thing I went for and had been told was in stock wasn’t) .I do buy most of my guns in the U.K. I’m not that naive ! but if it’s not in stock anywhere over here am I expected to go without what I want because no one in the U.K. has it ? Yea right ! We’re not just talking about a ‘couple of coins’ ! we’re talking substantial differences in price , I’m sorry but if I can get a box of a particular type of mag from HK for £42 posted and the same one in the U.K. is £67+P&P and that’s if it’s even in stock , well I’m sorry but you can stuff the poor little U.K. retailers I’m not spending £25+ extra to fly the flag . And when one of the supposedly ‘top 3’ retailers in the country takes a substantial amount of money off you to upgrade a new gun before delivery and you later discover they used substandard parts and thats why your gun imploded 6mths later I call that poor customer service wouldn’t you ? Or another classic I’ve had happen i buy a gun and after I paid for this ‘in stock’ I received an email saying it’s actually on back order ? Yea that’s shit customer service as far as I’m concerned , products listed as in stock but you only discover its out of stock when you try to put the bloody thing in your basket ? that’s shite service . If you really must sit on your moral high horse and pass judgment on others then feel free too but please keep it to your self there’s a good chap . Remember this is just your opinion , and as we all know an opinion is like an arsehole , everyone has one and there frequently full of shit ? Live long and prosper .?

Many reasons players by from over seas and not the U.K. retailers , among them you have , severely over priced really shite customer service zero items in stock are just three I can think off of the top of my head ? if you can’t get the car you want from the U.K. but you can buy it and get it shipped over from Japan for a reasonable amount ? Yes I would (I have actually done it in the past with a motorbike) .

Point 1 , why yes good sir you are SO spot on ! ?‍♂️ Point 2 , one full size M16 stock , a couple of red dot scopes , a PEQ box with working light and red laser , a 1911 paddle holster and a pair of rather pointy looking AK flash hiders , no problems with any of them .

I’ve been buying near everything I’ve needed (or more like just wanted ?) from Aliexpress and touch wood haven’t had a single problem with any of my orders getting through to me .?

So after 34 pages of basically everyone reporting having had either an identical or pretty close experience to everyone else would it be fair to say general consensus is even if you could you'd have to be a f?king loon of a monumental proportion to even think about buying anything from TG OR gunfire for the foreseeable future then ?

I do believe he’s replied to you ?

I wish I could but it’s all booked on through the main site via registered emails , no turn up pay and play allowed mores the pity otherwise that’s what I’d do .

The portishead site is a lot smaller than the main site and neither he or any of his cronies ever go there , and it’s run really well by the small team that’s always there . Hence not a problem for me .
