    Well, we did it. Spent the day running around like nutters and shooting people 😂
    I'm knackered but what a laugh. Honey badger needs a bit more oomph and I'd get more kills throwing my pistol at people rather than actually shooting it at them.🤣🤣
    Game, as they say ON. 😎👍

    My other suggestions (based on the picture, so if you have it already done these things, you can ignore me 😃) would be to get a few more mags for the AEG or get a high cap one that you can quickly refill in a game, I normally go through my two mid caps and resort to using my high cap (as you can normally just tip your bbs in them quickly). It can be a bit of a ballache to reload your midcaps in the middle of a game with the type of speedloader you are showing.
     
    I highly recommend footware with ankle support so you dont break a bone when you foot goes down a ditch or rabbit hole. 😂
     
    You might find that mask fogs up too, so try and pre-treat it prior to the game with some cat crap (yes, a real thing haha) or some anti-fog solution/wipes, you'll find plenty of opinions on glasses, goggles, masks and anti-fog solutions on here.
     
    Ultimately though, as @EDcase says, if you are having fun, you are doing it right, so welcome to the world of airsoft, hope you enjoy it!

    Depending on where you are you are based in "Staffs", another site for you to try out could be Ace Airsoft .
     
    I normally go with a few mates and usually see another forum member ( @strykerles ) there.
     
     
    100% agree with this, I was a bit unsure when starting and did wonder how "clique(y)" people were at Airsoft, but the people I've met are very welcoming and you find yourself upholding this attitude when you see new guys joining.
     
    Don't forget, we are adults running around the woods with toy guns 😂

    Speak for yourself🙂
    I revert back to childhood when I get out there. Tantrums,wetting myself and sulking when I don't get my own way.🤭
    Good to see you back. Been on holiday?

    So did my first day playing Airsoft today over at Airsoft Plantation. Went with a friend who turns out has been going for some time!
     
    Mostly had a good time, absolutely shattered though! Don't think my body has moved like that (short running bursts, kneeling down, bending round corners etc) for around 2 years.

    THINK I mostly kept up with the pace, there were a few times I was happy to stay back a bit lol.
     
    As a first timer, my biggest challenge was knowing the map. Marshalls explained the game and where we needed to go etc, but not knowing where they are, meant I was just following others around quite a bit. Think once ive been there a few more times, ill start to get to know where everything is and have more of a equal playing field to the regulars. (Maybe i should have asked the marsalls for a map or something...).
     
    Did feel guilty at one point as a nade went off which I thought was 7-8 meters away (where they say anyone within 5m is hit), but marshall called me out to say it hit me, happily took the hit without question, just didnt want to come across as cheating at all.
     
    Overall I enjoyed myself and can only see it getting better,

    Hiya dude, welcome to the forum and glad you are enjoying the hobby.
     
    You'll more than likely find the answer you need somewhere on here or if not, just ask, the guys are friendly enough as long as you don't mention certain airsofters from youtube

    Slightly. I already have a king arms m4 moe that needs a service and will be gtg and have my TM 416 devgru finally coming home after being sold to a mate but not being used so I'm taking custody back end of the year 🤣
    Already have a PC and helmet and have always skirmished in old bdu pants since the days when blachawk down getup were the one. Need to look at a replacement sidearm as my old glock is a bit a chonky for real holsters.

    New to Newcastle area and looking to get back into the hobby. Any teams about or recommendations for sites near here?
    I'm thinking normal skirmish days but I'm more into casual milsim. By that I mean, team stuff, but not hard-core seal/so all must wear exact everything.
    If this makes little to no sense then general local info would be appreciated.
