I'd rather have a guy in a wheelchair watching my back who is mentally aware, than some of the 9 y/o kids I've played with who's awareness is NULL. With that said though, inclusiveness should not be solely focused on those who are physically disabled. I agree that making airsoft inclusive is more difficult than a lot of other activities, however the reasons you've mentioned almost come across like the idea of inclusiveness is to make an even playing field for those with disability. Unfortunately that would never be the case, for example, someone in a wheelchair is nearly always going to be at a disadvantage even on the most inclusive airsoft site. That might make them a less proficient player than the average able bodied person... Does that mean that sites shouldn't do their best to encourage them to come along and play? Absolutely not. Turning up and playing airsoft, in my opinion, has absolutely nothing to do with your ability to win, it's about getting away from screens and the monotony of every day life and going outside to have fun with your mates! At the end of the day we're grown men holding toy guns, if someone else (able bodied or otherwise) can enjoy that as much as I do, I say game on!

maybe overkill was the wrong choice of phrase. If he's hit and moving to a safe spot, someone else on the enemy team may think he's still in-game and shoot him again, this could happen as many times as there are enemy players.

just checked out the video @Rogerborg added of the fella in the wheelchair, that's awesome!!! The sport should be as inclusive as possible and all parties involved (players, site owners, retailers and manufacturers) should all do their best to make it so. One thing I'd say about the wheelchair guy is that a "red dead" piece of cloth or flag in his pocket might do him some favours - that way when he's hit he can drape that round his shoulders and move away (as it takes both his hands to move the chair in a straight line) - then he won't get overkilled by people thinking he's still in-game.

A light facing down your trouser leg!? I suppose it's alright if you need a place to store a light or an optic etc. but still it's bloody weird!

I can beat that - I got a real steel XDM compact holster which has a weaver rail on it! Who the hell needs a weaver rail on a holster!?

I think it's worth pointing out that the paint job on that rifle has probably seen 15 game days since I got it and not a single problem - as i said, this was a VERY WET day, and the paint has worn away only where my also INCREDIBLY WET glove was rubbing against the keymod rail. Taking nothing away from the quality of Chris' work, I can't imagine anyone else could have done a better job.

Hi Chris, Just letting you know: You did a custom job on a Krytac CRB for me a few months ago and it's great - I played a VERY WET game in the rain last week though and some of the paint job flaked away where my glove was holding the RIS. This isn't a complaint as such because it makes it look good IMO being a bit worn - however, I've sprayed a layer of clear lacquer over the remaining paint and it seems to have sealed it in much better, so if anyone else experiences the same problem, just do that.

Sent some Krytac parts off for a fairly straight-forward paint job, really excited to get them back and will post results when I've re-assembled the rifle. VERY impressed with the other stuff you've done!

I spoke with a few people about this, "Soon" isn't soon enough for my personal desires

It's in the freakin' post then.

A mate of mine just got an SPR and it's AMAZING. I'm going to order either an SPR or a CRB today... if there's no difference in the internals etc. and the CRB is just a bit shorter, I'll get that. Unless one of you lovely people can persuade me otherwise.....?

If that's around your budget, then G&G M4s and Cyma AKs are your friend in my experience. I'm guessing you don't have UKARA, and so purchasing from shops like TiwanGun is a no go...?

Up your budget to £300 and get a Krytac SPR or CRB. Seriously. *Edit* - wow, I posted that without even seeing the comment above from snakeEyes75
