Welcome ? Plenty of info in the forum so do lots of reading ? Yes, we always recommend renting first to get an idea of what kind of pewpew you'll want. ...and don't worry, some of us are over 50 ?

Welcome ? There's always a learning curve and more gear to buy. LiPo batteries and intelligent charger are good long term investments. Lots of info in this forum.

First thing to do is get a chrono ?

Not sure about running an airsoft site but its certainly NOT possible to go to some empty woods and play. Permits and insurance are minimum requirements. As a player there is no requirement to go to a site and play. Not sure if all the sites are UKARA registered so would need to look at their website or call. But to be clear, UKARA exists only for retailers to satisfy the law regarding selling to legitimate airsoft players. If a site is UKARA registered just means that they will record the number of times you play so that after 3 games you will be put on the list of airsoft players and given your UKARA number. Then you can buy realistic imitation firearms. (RIFs)

Welcome werkzeug ? Have a look here for sites near you: UK Airsoft Map — PlayAirsoft And then look for reviews of the sites to see if worth going. We always recommend playing the 3 games to be UKARA registered because it also allows you to decide what kind of toy you'll want to get. GBB is fine as long as its below fps limits same as AEGs You'll need to check with site rules as they can vary but in general: Auto capable: 350fps Single shot: (No auto switch) 450fps Bolt action: 500fps With 0.2g BB

We've got the 'Before' pic so now waiting for the 'After' pic... ? Hope you don't get any permanent marks ?

Welcome ? We appreciate all players wherever they are from. ? Being in another country obviously the rules discussed here will be different and it may be difficult to buy from the classifieds. Enjoy your time here...

Hey Alec, welcome back ? I don't know what things were like 20 years ago but I suspect not much has changed with the game itself. The actual equipment (guns) have surely improved in all aspects since then and probably become cheaper. The easiest way to get registered as an airsofter is to rent for 3 games at a single site where they will put you on the UKARA register. Then you can buy RIFs (realistic) guns. Do lots of reading on the forum for other bits of info. Will be interesting to hear your thoughts once you get back into it...

Have a look at variants of the MP5 JG, CYMA or Double Eagle SMGs

Good to know thanks Confidence in airsoft players restored ?

Welcome ? Yeah, would be interesting to hear what you find different...

Yeah, would be useful to have date posted on ads but there's no helping people who can't read "Sold" ?

Yeah, I've been hit in the eyebrow from a few meters. Stung quite a bit but just rubbed it. Then I felt something trickling into my eye and I thought, "I can't be sweating THAT much". Saw the blood after wiping my eye. Oh well, play on...

Yeah, Red Alert is a good site ? Hahaha, brilliant patches ?

Yeah, each have pros and cons. We'll have to wait and see how the G&G actually performs

Yeah, both iconic. Not sure if I prefer spring or gas either

Hmmm, S&T could have a rival ?

I think we dun been trolled by a bot again ?

Welcome ? I'm sure someone from the area will give you a shout. Don't worry about going alone though.

Did you report to @Jedi_Master?

I think he wants to bring back the Communist regime but I'll admit the name isn't significant. He's an asshole and we'll leave it at that ?

True, the label 'Communist' has been replaced but Putin clearly wants to bring back its ideological 'glory days'. Anyway, I don't think this is a good subject for an airsoft forum so I'll drop it.

Wow, I never thought I'd encounter a Putin follower ? Nevermind, onto the ignore list you go...

Apart from stock availability the economics may not really be there. When you add the costs of everything it would likely end up equal or even more expensive than UK prices ?
