One thing you wish you knew coming into airsoft?

If you have them near by. Also having a great day is absolutely a reason to keep going back to the same site.... -
One thing you wish you knew coming into airsoft?
Jaylordofwaargh replied to ODST's topic in General Discussion
This one I feel in my bones. Especially as weekenders are a thing I do.... There are a number of things that, as I looked around the hobby (after first rental) that I do know instead of getting deep in, so here is a short list. 1. Budget Airsofting is possible and enjoyable, patience is the key 2. Good boots are simply a must as part of the setup cost 3. Most people forget mags and batteries (and charger) when considering cost of starting 4. I hike so a back bladder was part of my start up costs - nothing ruins a last game as much as not being hydrated -
Macks airsoft dreamers of the week thread
Jaylordofwaargh replied to Mack's topic in General Discussion
That's not the whole issue with this one though. It's £50 off new for a working one...this has had a spring change with no mention of the power was over or under. Also 340ISH is not the accuracy I would like any crono machine. Sure the box is in good nick and the toy itself looks fine but that spring change means it might not be fitted well.... -
So I'm making my own grenades...
Jaylordofwaargh replied to Jez_Armstrong's topic in General Discussion
Adding to the general "this looks really cool" crowd. I like the idea a lot, so much so I now have a new "saving space" in my account. I would like to see the glow in dark standard.... Size is good as well. It is far too easy to lose a "quake" style in a woodland. -
The 'What have you just bought' Thread

Feed lips baby yeah! -
No where near as fancy as some of the stuff on this thread, but I have started up cycling pallets and other wooden furniture found in the street. So here is my airsoft storage unit. Yes I am aware my camera sucks but I want shiny stuff that shoots so that is a sacrifice I am (currently) willing to make....

G&G GEC36 The lonely owner's thread
Jaylordofwaargh replied to RostokMcSpoons's topic in Electric Guns
I mean the G36 is a "cute" gun, but the specific g&g version....well, that sits well out of my budget for the order of my "to buy" list. If I were to get this platform at some point it would be with all handguards and power options for dmr and the "k" version. For....reasons.... -
The 'How Did Your Airsoft Day Go? Thread
Jaylordofwaargh replied to Skara's topic in General Discussion
@Egon_247 Red1 woodland is a grand little site. They do sometimes have pyro limits due to a football field next door. Cute little trench system, two decent cqb villages with some longer play areas as well. Not large by any means but that just means you learn the site quickly. -
Let's be honest, this will not have had the most thorough R&D phase, most likely marketing had the biggest budget

Never even considered a SRC anything as it is a poster brand for BBGUNZ4less... It might be a source for externals, but that is what the boneyard is for...

And back to CSW we go, I mean damn that was a great site for many reasons. A great place to start.

The 'How Did Your Airsoft Day Go? Thread
Jaylordofwaargh replied to Skara's topic in General Discussion
So this is a fun toy to use? For all its Brutalist and sci-fi vibes it is on the 'list' Thanks I am one of those really annoying players that sticks to the times given, I'll load up and bomb up at appropriate times, I'll loudly look at my watch (Airsoft days are the only time I wear one) and 'we good for game brief' After lunch is another fun instance, The hearding cats thing, well, I think some of that is the site staff not want to be seen as riding the players HOWEVER, we pay good money to shoot people and I would like more site managers to focus on that. -
Macks airsoft dreamers of the week thread
Jaylordofwaargh replied to Mack's topic in General Discussion
No worries about that, and yes, from varied sources it helps confirm the quality of crack. At least with this one it shows a few more of the listed items.... -

Jaylordofwaargh replied to Mack's topic in General Discussion
Yeah, but it is Bucks, so it must be good crack. No branding on the holosight... -
Since delving into this hobby I have learnt 2 things from those that go 1. The social and those you know make the weekend 2. The Airsofting is shit Those people that left the toys in the car all weekend had the best time....

My cheap M4 broke, I am realistic in my budget There were serious considerations for something a little different an ares g14 and ICS g33 were contenders, hell even looked at ak's and both G3's (the long and very short). All had numerous pros, few cons overall - it could have happened - then a bargain M4 showed up on the classifieds....at least it has a skeleton stock that folds.....

The 'What have you just bought' Thread
Jaylordofwaargh replied to Cameron364's topic in Guns, Gear & Loadouts
This almost generic ICS sports line number from @HuttArmouries to replace my other nearly generic CAA M4. Feels great, will still be a while before I can get it out to a skirmish. and now I have a replacement I can take the other one apart and "learn" if I am capable of fixing or I just post a bag of bits to an actual tech 😅 -

Nah, it's spot on -
Airsoft, finances and mental health.
Jaylordofwaargh replied to Wavey_Gravey's topic in General Discussion
*Insert Chris Hemsworth "this" gif* I have decided that with my new/replacement plastic slinger, I can justify a telescopic sight....the gun cost more so I can spend more on attachments, as you say, the rabbit whole goes deep. Got it down to a choice of two .... and then I got an actual tap measure next to said gun .. 😂 On the social media side of things, I post here more than I do FB but on the plus side I saw a post similar to this, a mental health check in and was reminded to get my pills. So thank you for the check in. Still buying the scope though.... -
When was the 'Golden Age' of airsoft?
Jaylordofwaargh replied to Dentonboy's topic in General Discussion
"in my day...." *Insert old man vibes here* This is a flippant comment due to starting work 10 minutes ago, however to the point Any day where you go Airsofting and think - worth it, or tinker and get things 'just right', buy any kit or *that* piece of kit, new gun day, first day you bring your mate along, hell even good toy cleaning day is part of the golden age. -
The 'How Did Your Airsoft Day Go? Thread
Jaylordofwaargh replied to Skara's topic in General Discussion
Used to, key point. Easier to manage eye pro always on than mag in/out. As for young kids, going to site, how young is the site letting play and how are their adults not being very clear on this one? But yes, safety brief in safe zone, and the long game brief if needed, game brief/recap in game zone. -
You could almost (almost) place a value hold or value add on the provenance of these things as rare as they seem. As a (still) relative newbie, my armoury has not seen the volume of weapons some of you folks have but I can say worst: the spring shotgun - (an asg stockless number) my gods what was I thinking. Oh yeah, 'shotguns are cool' and yes they are, the gas on that is on the buy list will be sweet as and have all the range, power and fun that this did not, not for actual games... Which brings me to Favourite: we f226, yes it is my first pistol, so, yes, I am still in that 'this is so much fun!' phase. But in my last couple of up close and personal situations it has been effective and yes, so much fun. It shoots as far as I need it to and works in the cold. Give it some years and I may revive this thread with 'best' or an edit....
