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
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...
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...
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.
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 🤔
