Just so you're aware mr mustang is a bit of a contraversial figure here, its not so much his capability as a player but certain elements of his sportsmanship as portrayed for the youtube clickbait arent the best role model for the sport.

 

However, lets put that aside and welcome to the forum.

 

If your interested in playing i'd suggest starting off small. Find yourself a local site and book yourself in for a few rental games.

 

You wont be outranging anyone, but if you've snuck up behind them that's not a problem. Honestly if your sneaky enough in this sport you can unironically get kills with a nerf gun.

 

Now the usual advice is to stay back from sniping in the short term, aeg's are the good all rounder and you can still play the stealth game. But you'll get more of a feel when you've played a few games as to wether or not your happy being limited to single shots.

 

The side advantage is getting yourself setup with ukara. As i'm sure luminous orange isnt the look you're going for.

 

You sound like your no stranger to running around outdoors so we can skip the whole "good boots and surplus dpm" preaching, only thing you'll be wanting is some good eye/face protection.

 

As for the milsims yes there are events in the uk, although best get setup with the basics first.

Thanks for the help and warm welcome, I think you also posted on my first post

 

I remember saying a few things on a Bushcraft forum when I first started with that that was controversial and my views on that now are the opposite end of the scale. A bit of experience will go a long way. Out of interest and for my awareness which elements of his sportsmanship are considered to be controversial?

 

I have the local sports ringmakred and will be visiting them after a bit more of the dust has settled with them just reopening.  I've had a read about UKARA and my local sites have shops.

I have a set of Bolle clear goggles with black frames which I use for Winter Night Navigation to keep the snow out but aid visibility. I wonder if they will be good enough, I'll take them with me.

 

Are there many Milsims that would allow for sniping/recognisance working in a small team etc.

 

Cheers,

Hello all,

 

I'm finding my way into airsoft and like what I have seen on YouTube, I've been watching a lot of kicking mustang etc. 
 

I have a background in Bushcraft and have worked as an outdoor Instructor for the past 10 years, I've worked all over the world from Antarctica to America. I'm also an ex-reservist. I already have the skillset to live comfortably outdoors, navigate and move through environments unnoticed. After watching the YouTube videos I really like the idea of gaining experience to attend Mil Sim like events as a sniper using camouflage and concealment, ghillie suits etc. Ideally someone that lives in the field under a tarp at night, working on my own or in a small group with radio communication carrying out reconnaissance, being in point position for a section and or targeting certain people. Does the type of play exist where I would have this opportunity?

 

Cheers,

Steve.

Hello,

 

Is anyone else in North Wales. 

 

I'm looking forward to getting to Over The Top and Shock and Awe.

 

I'm an outdoor instructor who's done a decent amount of time living outdoors so MilSims appeal to me as spending 24/48/72 hours outside is familiar to me. I'm also an ex Army Reservist so have military experience. 

 

In September I'm retraining into Software Development where I'll be doing a Masters so I'm also looking to join the Bangor Airsoft Society.
