A pink Bizon ! Was going to strip the pink and repaint but once No2 son saw it he said “like f*ck you are ! We’re doing a theme on that to freak out all the Russian kit geardo’s !” I love my son ! 🤣😈🤣😈🤣
PS the seller on these very forum @VonGrimmeven chucked in a free silver PBS suppressor with it and I have to say the quality of his 3D printing skills are amazing ! 

wait, it's possible to win in airsoft!?
 
 
this, for example they might be a first time player such as yourself who's borrowing a bunch of kit from a mate who plays.
 
 
goddamnit, you're not supposed to tell him that, where am i gonna get my meat sheild willing volunteers from now? 
 
 
 
 

@Sambo - I used to suffer with this loads in my youth, so I feel for you.
I won't cover what the others have. It's already good advice
 
What I will say is: Remember that you will have paid exactly the same money as everyone else that day, to turn up and shoot BBs at people.
Do not let them intimidate you, try to boss you around (You get the fat old guys barking orders sometimes, just ignore them), or try and single you out for having a Two-tone gun.
Everyone is equal once you've paid your fees for the day. 
 
One thing that used to make my anxiety bad when I was younger was not knowing what will happen.  Not knowing how each part of the day will pan out, if I'd never experienced it before (Part of the reason I fucking hate surprises - my missus hates it :D)
 
Hopefully, if I write out what to expect, it might put your mind at rest. So let's give it a go - going to be a bit of a long read I'm afraid.
 
Arrive on site and get your stuff out the boot
  Walk into the safezone and find a table/bench/area to set up for the day (try and pick something under cover in case it pisses down)
(This is where I like to try and eyeball where the toilets are so you can find them confidently later, as if you've been here hundreds of times before) Dump all your stuff on said table
  Look out for the main desk/booth where you sign in and pay and walk over.
  "Is this where I pay?"  / "Yes Mate, just sign in here" - and you sign your name, signature, and some sites even Registration of your car if necessary. 
  When you're signing in/paying, maybe mention to the guy/girl at the desk that it's your first time ever, and that you might need some pointers etc. If it's a good site, they'll keep an eye out for you.
  Go back to your table and open your case (Remember: Do not ever put magazines in your guns in the safezone). And start filling your magazines with BBs, wind them up in advance if they're hi-caps.
  Get ready as though you're about to go out into the game
  Unfortunately, this is the boring bit, if you get there early enough to get a good table, you're in for a wait of about 45-60 minutes until game time
  Go to the sign-in desk and buy a drink / make a coffee. Try to relax and take your mind off the anxiety, maybe strike up conversation with the guy next to you, explain it's your first game ever and he'll probably ask how you got on after each game
  Then eventually it's the safety brief.
The head marshal will ask everyone to gather round and they'll give a 10 minute (ish) speech on the safety rules for that particular site, dos and don'ts basically. Some sites will detail about what grenades they allow all that - to be honest the safety brief is pretty boring, but it's mandatory and you've got to stand through it whether it's your first time or your 100th.
Just keep looking the dude in the eye and nod in agreement  when he looks your way BUT try to pay attention for your first ever one
  He'll probably then say "Right, five minutes until we head out!" (as if you've not had long enough already)
  Get yourself kitted up, vest on, with mags in the pouches, get your gun and get your mask
  When you're in the game area your mask or eye protection stays on all the time.  Don't try and remove it, or lift one corner out of the way to wipe fog away. Just don't risk it
  Head out for the first game by following the crowd.
  Usually the first game at a lot of sites is a faster, more fun orientated game, in order to get everyone started happy and get the blood pumping.
  After the game is finished, you'll trudge back to the safe zone, hopefully happy and with a few kills under your belt.
  There'll be maybe another 2 or 3 games and then you stop for lunch.
  Eat your lunch (Site provided pork foam and foreskin sausages in a dry bun - Nice!)
  Then you'll head out for 2 or 3 more games before you're told it's the end of the day and you can pack up
  I won't cover what game modes to expect because each site does it differently.
Lots of places like a Attack & Defend timed game, where one team will push back the other on set route until you have a final showdown at a fort, or a building or something. 
Then the teams are reversed and you have to beat the previous attacker's time etc 
 
I will say this, no one cares who wins. No one is tallying up whether the blue team does better than red for example. Nobody cares.
Everyone is there to play Tactical Hide and Seek with toy guns. It's Laser quest for grown ups. It's Cowboys and Indians for kids who never decided to be sensible. It is fun!  


 
Sorry it's a bit of a long post (Usually @Sitting Duck's forte!) but I hope it helps.
Like I mentioned, I used to get so hung up of not knowing what to expect that it ruined a lot of stuff for me as a kid - so hopefully this helps!
 
 

Before I had anything I went to watch but chickened out as I watch everyone walking in all like best mates. I just felt like the odd one out. But now I have a gun ( I need some other stuff aswell) I might pop up like you say but I'll call them 1st to make sure it's ok for me to watch or just come say hi. 
 
Thank you for you comment. It means alot. 👍😁
It's nice to know that people are saying the same, people that go to it are really nice people. I u7that there may be a few that spoil it but it's nice to know majority are kind and friendly people. It's also nice to know that it's not just me that started on his own lol
 
Thank you 🤝
I get you. I guess that im used to people been awkward just generally in the streets ( what you looking at? kinda thing ) but I'm overwhelmed how friendly everyones response is. I'll have a read through your thread shortly.
 
Thank you for your kind words 👍🤝😁
Thank you for the boost of confidence. I imagine that once you've been it's like riding a bike. Is it open at the moment with this covid going about? I imagine everyone is like 2 meters apart anyway behind a wall so it should be open?
 
Really thank you. Hope to have a game one day with you🤔😁👍
I think you've knocked it on the head there. It's like moving to a new school. I like that terminology. I guess I just need to learn the lingo and I shouldnt be to much of a newbie lol
 
Thank you man 🤝👍

Like others have said, just do it. I know it's easier said than done, but I knew 0 people who were interested in airsoft so went to a few games alone and met a bunch of weirdos who I now speak to all the time and go to games with regularly. It's an inclusive bunch, generally speaking. 👍
