Airsoft-Ed

The awkward moment when the site's tech has been posting on this thread... Seriously though, £20 for an hour session at an airsoft site is horrific. I pay £20 for an entire day at Skirmish in Mansfield.

Perfect. Very concise and to the point, good links too, thanks for putting it together

I've just been paid for last month =D I've also emailed RedWolfUK about getting the Ares Spring AW .338 because I can more than easily afford one, as well as the full shebang on upgrades Screw getting a gaming PC, sexy guns come first.

Here's some of me from my outing on Sunday, they might be used to help promote Help for Heros on some webpage or another, somewhere. Possibly... The guy who took them was, as far as I know, on site for the charity because the game day was a fundraiser. Anyway, here they are:

Sweet Jesus. On the mobile version of the forums, there is no option to skip to the current page of a topic... You have to skip through them all. I don't think I'll be ever looking at the "ban the person above you" game on my phone ever again.

Isn't it Ares? 'Cos there's your problem lol. Maybe there's a short somewhere, exposed wire might be touching something metal?

What do people make of the Aftermath trailer? I think the new game mode sounds quite interesting, but there are no new weapons other than a crossbow, which for me just screams CoD at the highest of volumes... Seems stupid that anyone would find a crossbow in a post-earthquake city ruin as well. Especially if no one had them previously.

Why do you want an S10? Are you totally mad, man?

Yeah I know that feeling lol, I carry around 12 real caps, which is 360 rounds. Always have hi-cap heros ask me if I've got enough ammo... Oh the irony.

I think you definitely need more magazines haha.

What colour skrim do they use? I've only got green. At the moment the band is all that's holding the cover on, 'cos it's stretched tight over it because of my camera's mount hidden underneath, so I'll probably leave it for the time being. I'm thinking of picking up a Mk VII if one comes along at the right price.

Yeah, but the official designation is L110A1.

Just ordered a ton of shiz from Landwarrior to celebrate my loan coming through on Friday haha. Got a Serpa for my Sig, 2 Flyye double 9mm pouches in MC, 12x3000 .25 Blasters (ought to last me a LONG time) and 2 more Emags (I wanted 6 but they didn't have enough =[) Spent way more than I planned on spending... Still a hell of a lot of stuff I still want/NEED as well... Oh the woes of being an airsofter. Proper 1st world problems.

Nah it's not the one Panoptes had, I was eyeing that one up a while back though lol. I forget the name of the guy who he got it from, I think it was Mike somethingorother.

My mate George just bought this beastly mother of a gun from ZeroIn. It's a British Spec M249, otherwise known, by our armed forces personel, as the L110A1. Which must mean (L)ead x (110) pieces, into the (A)ss of (1) very unlucky individual. Anyway, I wish I'd bought it =[ Only problem is that it uses Deans connectors and neither me nor him have any batteries wired to Deans at the moment, so I can't tell how well it shoots =[ It's also the most immensely heavy beast ever. Clocks in at 7, approaching 8kg.

I bought from them a few times as I was getting started. They really don't make you feel valued at all if you have any kind of direct contact with them. Phone and emails. They became very blunt and rude with me after a short time, maybe 5 emails at the most and a phone call or two. I was a noob, I was trying to get more info, I was unaware of the forums at that point as I wasn't a big internet user or anything etc etc. I was trying to get an idea of what I was buying and they just couldn't have given less of a shit, was my impression. Whenever I emailed them and the email contained more than 3 questions, they would never answer more than 1 of them and even that wouldn't be in any detail. They also have that automated response thing that says, "As we get hundreds of emails a day... blahblahblah" yeah right. Hundreds? That's got to be bollocks. Why don't they get more people working on responding to them? I'm actually fairly sure I've been added to some sort of block list, as I've not received a single reply to anything I've ever sent them since they were rude all those years ago. I try to avoid buying from them unless they're the only place stocking what I'm after. I experienced the fps issue you did as well, Adam. It was shooting around 390 and they'd said it was in the 350 region.

£20 for ONE HOUR?!?!?! Oh my god. It sounds like some sort of ridiculously expensive, shit version of laser quest. Were there only 13 year olds there or something? Holy sweet jesus.

Saturday 13th sounds good. I think I might give this weekend a miss and go see the girlfriend in Nottingham instead.

Probably going to be there this coming weekend, or the one after, depending on whether or not I can get a lift. I'll let you know when I do. When are you next planning to be there?

I really like it, looks pretty awesome if you ask me. The kneepad clashes as bit and I'm not a fan of the M4, or its paint scheme. But the camo and kit look awesome. I like the chest rig, if you can get one in Multicam then I'd be tempted to pick one up.

I just bought a British spec M249. Or an L110A1 as people in the Army will know it. TOP/CA project gun that someone on Zero In was selling. Got it for £405 including postage and Paypal fees. The only super sad thing, is that it's for a mate who doesn't have UKARA yet (I know he's a skirmisher) so I paid for it with his money... So it's not really mine. Waaaaa! On the bright side, I get to look after it until he gets back from Uni. I might have to have a cheeky skirmish with it...
