*Ahem*
 
So, hi guys, and hello airsoft world: it is a comeback because I had left.  Apologies for not answering the messages in my inbox from last year: when it all went wong and sites shuttered for the 2nd time (3rd? I lost count), I logged out and haven't been back since then. I couldn't bear to talk about airsoft without playing it, and it was certainly healthier for my bank balance to not keep buying stuff that I couldn't use.
 
But woo and also hoo, we're back, baby, indoors and out, and it's even better after a break.  Sadly the excellent local indoor site, the Depot, died the real death and has never come back, but we're got a decent new outdoor site near Glasgow at Area66, so it's all good.
 
OK, I did make a few tech purchases. My plucky plastic Galaxy MP5K with an M100 spring, mosfet, Big Dragon M140 and the air seal spot on is now shooting at 1.04J / 335fps on a 110mm barrel, and snappier than a snapping turtle playing snap while drinking Snapple.
 
I've even just made my first purchase of a toy over £100.  Sure, I felt a bit dirty, but I have stuck to my policy of perversity and having previously bought a long M4 to hacksaw it down, I've now bought a short one (Specna Arms Edge Colt 933) in order to barrel-extend and DMR it.  Quick change gearbox, yes please.  I've even (looks around guiltily) sprung for surplus DPM for a full impression kit of "generic airsofter on a budget".
 
I'll catch up now and see how lockdown-and-release has been treating everyone.

Just checking in case any of you miss it or didn't hear...

Nuprol 3.0 coming out of the back of the slide of WE Glock onto my hand whilst spamming the trigger, and this is through a sturdy glove...

Could we collectively pay for a banner to replace this that says "I'd rather have a Cyma?" 😂

Sh*t

Welcome to the forum dude, I started just as corona hit and just shy of my 34th birthday, so you'll be fine!
 
I'm with you with the grey hair although I blame my wife and kids for it.

Well had 1st game today and me and the young un loved it.
Couldn’t stay all day as had to get home for the youngest but both of us had a great day.
As its all a learning curve we now know what to expect / do better for next time.
We hired the guns but like a fool i forgot to fetch our bb’s and whilst i was only taking aimed shots to conserve ammunition my young un thought he was Arnie in predator.
I have ordered some de fogging spray for next timers young uns mask kept misting up  as well as a lower face protector for me as i took a few well placed hits to the head.
But 100 % be going again and be even better next year when my youngest can also attend.
 

Hi Mate,

Welcome to the forum.
 
I'm in the same boat as you with prescription inserts as I'm slighly short-sighted, take a look at this if you want to get those lens inserts done for pretty cheap:
 
And as @GAMBLE said, he has a youtube channel aimed at beginners, but forgets to link it

Did you read the thread before necroposting? If you had then you'd know that the gun in question is semi auto only, as established 2 years ago. 
 
If you're going to use insults when calling someone out it's best to make sure you're right, otherwise you'll come across as the dick cheese 

I may be there depending if my knee heals up 😂

I'll be there...  Just look for the Big Ginger Maaan wearing M81.
 
Cya there...
 

Almost done just ran out of green cotton but here is the “fabled” reverse bandoleer I’ve been working on-off-on, but I thought I would share and yes I know the MC pattern is not correct but when some things are on it’s not super noticeable 
 



 

Cya on the 6th 👌👍

Great News folks, we've made a few more changes on site and can now safely increase the player numbers for Airsoft game days 😀!!

Booking are now open for 6th + 20th June 2021 Book Now 👉👉 https://aceairsoft.co.uk/next-game.html

In the meanwhile sit back and enjoy some pewpew footage from last Sunday's 9th May game.
Hope to see you soon.

I’ve been working on this project for a few weeks, where I’ve started to gather info on airsoft sites from all over the UK. I have built a database of these and created a website where you can browse and find information about these sites, all in one convenient place.
 
PlayAirsoft UK
 
People who want to have a website for their airsoft locations/clubs are not generally well versed in information architecture and they don’t typically have a budget to spend on professional services to make their websites or even basic information well designed and accessible. I'm hoping to take this burden off their shoulders and give them solid tools join in on the action without much fuss.

I was annoyed that there was no central place with more info about nearby sites so I could pick one for my next weekend. PlayAirsoft is an answer to this and other issues. The functionality is currently limited because I only just started, but the info is solid; I’ve spent hours scavenging and verifying all the information about the sites you'll see there.
 
There aren’t a lot locations as of right now, but I'm hoping that with your help, we can have a universal place to find more sites. If you have a favourite airsoft location that isn’t listed or know a site owner, use the link below to suggest a new site to be listed. All submissions are reviewed beforehand, as I would like to have the most accurate info on these places as possible.

Feel free to use this topic as a way to provide feedback, suggestions, and report issues. I’m hoping that PlayAirsoft will provide you with a reliable and accessible way to plan your next airsoft adventure.
 
Enjoy and let me know what you think!
