    Mmm, and where is it on the Facebook page?  To be fair, they do have a player pack that mentions it, in horrible, barely readable shadow-text.  It also says that all guns must be "choro’ed", so make of that what you will.

    Exactly. You'd think a rule like this would be made obvious rather than being hidden away

    As far as I know, pf48 is the only service that accepts rifs, I'm sure people have used other companies without declaring the true contents but it's not advisable

    This. While it might save a few quid posting via another courier if something goes wrong there's a big chance the courier won't pay out on the insurance

    Careful, last thread that started like this ended with a hobbit Michael Myers hunting us all down 🤣

    I know, I've only just stopped laughing at the silly twat

    It's not big at all, judging from their website it is more like pretending to play airsoft rather than actual airsoft

    I saw it's a very small site but tbh  I'm not too concerned about the overall size, it's the quality of the games which I'm more interested in as I've had mixed days at other places like this.

    It would be interesting to know if those same sites have a ban on semi auto shotguns - in my head at least, just having three barrels sat right next to each other, discharging 3 shots with every pull of the trigger is no different. Certainly the scope for dishing out/receiving pain is the same!

    Agreed. With how light some triggers are it can be very easy for someone to spam the trigger and put more plastic down range than I could with my 870. There was also the old marushin M500 shotguns which would fire 5 bbs (or 3 if you went with the 8mm) down one barrel but nobody had a problem with. 

  5. It was the attitude of the owner and staff I didn't like. After arriving slightly late due to the trains I still had a face mask round my neck (it was just after covid and taxis weren't taking passengers without one) only for said owner to go into a rant about how covid was killing his business and was a load of fuss over nothing. When he finally finished and I asked for clarification of pyro rules I was told not to bother as nobody takes them. Next I had to ask several times for someone to chrono my guns, only to be told they'd be there in a couple of minutes but they never bothered. In the end I thought fuck it and joined the next game as I knew the guns were all under site limits and I'm not paying money to stand in the safezone waiting for them to finish chatting. Then later after a game I had a marshal ask why I don't have a barrel sock. When I said this was the first I'd heard about needing one I got a grumpy reply of "well it's on the Facebook page"

     

    These along with a few other things gave me the impression they don't care and see customers as nothing but an inconvenience.

     

    I can't really say too much about the playing area as it was a night game so only one small part was used but I do agree that the facilities in the safezone were very good compared to some places I've been

    Yes on Facebook it was asked, it didn't get answered. As I said, everyone started arguing about GDPR and radio frequencies.

     

    However it appears the post about the Tesco cosplay has been deleted off of their feed

    That doesn't surprise me. From the short time I was in the group I got the distinct impression that anything other than having your tongue up the owner's arse wasn't acceptable

    Because by having the CCTV on your person you are in effect operating it, rather than having it controlled by a third party with the appropriate license.

     

    https://www.gov.uk/guidance/check-if-you-need-an-sia-licence-to-use-a-bodycam

    Again only if you're a third party contractor, those working directly for the site don't need to be licensed. According to the link the only person who might need to be licensed is the owner/director and that would depend on the reasons the cameras are worn

    Most Airsoft marshals aren't working for anyone. They are generally volunteers who get reimbursed travel expenses. The whole data security and employee issues would make running body cams legitimately and nightmare.

    Volunteers also don't need a licence, although I'm not sure if being reimbursed for travel expenses could be counted as payment. That would be for the courts to decide if it ever comes to that (and if it did the site would probably have bigger problems to worry about)

     

    It could also be argued that marshals are there in more of a stewarding role than security so again wouldn't need to be licensed.

    More info on what you do and don't need a SIA licence for can be found here

    Its not so much the cameras being worn which could be a legal minefield, more how the images are used

     

    Has anyone asked Driver Wood why they've decided to do this?

  9. Has anyone played at Future Survival in Gravesend before? If so what are your thoughts? 

     

    From what little I can find online this looks like one of those activity centres which do things like laser tag and escape rooms branching out into airsoft, but I can't find much online about them and none of what I can find is related to airsoft

    Anyone wearing one would need to hold an SIA Public Space Surveillance license. I'll take a stab in the dark, that nobody on their team has that.

    Only if they're working for another company contracted to provide security etc, staff directly working "in house" don't. The only exceptions to this are door supervision in licenced premises or vehicle imobilisation (NI only)
