Operation Bushmaster: Date: 15th-16th August 2025 Location: Apocalypse Airsoft, Stockbury, Kent Cost: £85 (extras available) Briefing: There is a NATO joint task force, patrol number R7V call sign Viking, that has been deployed into the Colombian jungle as part of a larger anti-narcotics campaign, this is Operation Bushmaster. The platoon were airlifted into Bogotá airbase and have been transported by road with the assistance of the Colombian military to their dismount point 1km from the village of Barbosa. This area and especially the village is home to a fierce very well funded cartel, Los Sueña. This cartel is well known for violence, protecting their interests in the area of Barbosa and their incredibly profitable drug production business. This is a milsim which is being put together to be both fun and challenging for both sides of the conflict. There is an emphasis on ROE and a small amount of roleplaying (you get out of it what you put in, we all dress up as soldiers at the weekend anyway). the site is 200 acres which has been host to many milsims over the years and we believe we've found the magic recipe. We will have assistance from Apocalypse's onsite shop to provide a last minute chance to buy some BBs and pyro before the event however once the safety briefing starts at 0800 Friday morning you must be self sufficient. This isn't like some other milsims where we will remove you for using "the wrong weapon for that team" or the "wrong version" of an obscure camo the Rhodesian army used in 1971. Our main objective is to provide everyone with a fun event and make you feel you've got your moneys worth. All booking details will be published on here as a reply to the thread but also posted on the event page on facebook. https://fb.me/e/4IhETnFWr

Might help if you’d made a post to let everyone know this fact and then maybe we would talk about it.

One of the other things I forgot to mention in my previous post as Monkee says the guy is an absolute tool in person who is both ignorant and arrogant. And doing pub maths he's making at most a couple of hundred quid on his youtube revenue on average per video and then upto at very most low 4 digits. Youtube doesn't tend to pay well for any content that is related to airsoft or firearms. You then have to factor in he has to pay income tax on that and any costs related to playing airsoft in general. If you then add in the time it takes to edit the videos, the guy can't even be "paying himself" a tuppence of a wage. That's why he drives a shit heap that doesn't look like it'll get halfway round the M25.

Ok, I’ve been lurking this post for a while. I can’t be bothered to go through and quote individual posts because I’m at work on my phone (don’t tell the bosses). KM has been caught on video firing TAG rounds AT people within 50m, if anyones unaware of the affect of being hit by a tag round at that sort of range it will knock you out if it hits you in the head. (The video was recorded at Apocalypse Airsoft it was brought to his attention in the comments and as far as I’m aware it was re edited) He has been caught at numerous sites in the southeast using a hot gun, this is technically hearsay as I was told this by the site owners/managers themselves and as we all know is banned from more than just the sites mentioned in the OP. KM is, whether we all like it or not (majority of us don’t like it) a role model for the sport and especially its’ younger audiences. His portrayal of airsoft is not in a good light and unfortunately in this general society the smallest negatives will always outweigh the positives, and as I’m sure it’s been mentioned it was fought for airsoft to remain as it is under the VCRA and the last thing we need is a Facebook group called “Bored Mums Against Airsoft” or similar gaining any traction and using his videos as evidence to prove the activity is dangerous. If you want a more “hardcore version” of airsoft do a milsim, if you bitch and moan there you’re on your way home. Be prepared for all the other caveats that come with it (ammo/camo limits/ hard routine/multiple day events), or speak to your preferred site about private hire days and you and all your friends can go shoot each other till you look like you’ve got monkey pox.

I've got Vortex sights on both of my pews for the warranty and because they hold their value well enough that I think at most they would have cost £50 each if I came to sell them (Crossfire gen 2 red dot & Crossfire 3-9x50). It is certainly a case of you get what you pay for in the quality but it's definitely a luxury and nowhere near a necessity.

They must have changed it, I am sure it used to be Wednesdays. I would certainly say if you can make it to Black Site it's worth the visit, the train station is quite literally over the road which has links to London Victoria (via Maidstone) St Pancras (via Strood) and Charing Cross (via Tonbridge).

22/23rd of October, Defiant Events are at Apocalypse Airsoft in Kent

Yeah I've been it's good and quite well run, my only gripe is it's better with lower player numbers as once you get pinned somewhere it can prove to be difficult to push through but still a very good site for CQB. A very very small site which can be fun, it's only on Wednesday nights and its main use is as a laser tag arena. If I had to choose between Invicta: black site and BSX I would choose Invicta

You've got the Invicta Battlefield: black site just outside of Maidstone, probably closer to you than what Gravesend was depending what part of the M25. UCAP: The Bunker at Portsmouth isn't too bad to get to on a Sunday morning. RED 1 The School near Watford, it's first come first served with no booking but on a less busy day it's not a bad site.

I’ve tried a multitude of brands, both in my VSR and in GBBR M4s, the only one I’ve found to be reliably good quality is Geoffs Super Precision. I will now rather sit out a game with the VSR if I haven’t got enough Geoffs. tried Vorsk recently in my MWS and they left a lot of white residue and had a habit of shattering in the gun, they’re going in the bin. my advice would be to try some good quality ammo and also either keep it in its original packaging and try to avoid contamination (don’t empty your speed loader back in the bag/bottle) or keep it in another (clean) plastic container. The cloth BB bags I’ve seen some people use cause dust and fine dirt to accumulate on the BBs.

Another vote for Airsoft Engraver, he's got a facebook page and an instagram page. Great work and good service.

As long as you’re below 2.3J on your .48s should be perfect. not having looked into SRS upgrades personally I use a Sniper Mechanics WASP piston in my VSR with the medium weight and full airbrake it’s very quiet however the joule creep is quite high so the .2 velocity seems low but it’s on the limit with a .43 Dan/sniper mechanic/skirmshop UK I’ve found can be a bit slow with contact but in person one of the nicest guys and always up for a chat and it’s fun playing sniper pairs against him. another new gun Mike, I still haven’t seen the Mk.48 in person 😃

Very nice, the best bullpup BASR for sure. When you end up spending more on upgrades look at Sniper Mechanic (he’s a member on here but can’t remember his @) and EDGI, Mr. @MikeMarden had a very nice EDGI rifle which shot rather well and I know he’s just bought another SRS.

Exactly what I was thinking; a bit of mud, paint and some real vegetation will bring that into a usable colour 🤘
