Proper German Paras like we wore in the 80s?  

Think so. They're the modern issue ones but they look the same as the ones I had years ago 

[The 'What have you just bought' Thread]

A nice shinny pair of German para boots, tgey were listed as supergrade but they look new and unused. Now I just need to break them in

[Opinions please]

Tbh I'm not a fan, however it's your gnu so if you like it then go for it

I remember someone running a FAMAS on a 10.6 NiCad. Used to rebuild it every couple of games when it shat the gears.

Would that be a certain Thompson owner? 😉

I agree it is a sickening result, due to the sites being all pussy now and demanding more and more single fire

Back when we ran AEGs, carrying 6-9 Hicaps, 9.6v 3300a batteries and 20k of spare bbs in your backpack.. (Just incase.) 

It was never an issue

This. Anyone who played at Electowerkz would understand

I think musician Peter Gabriel is secretly an airsofter. The give away is a verse from Games without Frontiers 

 

"Andre has a red flag, Chiang Ching's is blue (usual armband colours) 
They all have hills to fly them on except for Lin Tai Yu (Lin didn't get any of the objectives) 
Dressing up in costumes, playing silly games
Hiding out in tree-tops shouting out rude names" (Sounds like a typical Sunday skirmish)

What gets me about these simulated muzzle flash things is that they look more like someone pissing about with a cheap torch, rather than an actual muzzle flash 

[Site Banned all C02]

I remember playing at a site where they had you sign the same form as the paintballers. I knew this because they hadn't even bothered to change the word paintball to airsoft

[The 'How Did Your Airsoft Day Go? Thread]

That makes more sense. If it was self defence then fair enough

[The 'How Did Your Airsoft Day Go? Thread]

Not sure if I'm getting the wrong end of the stick but it sounds like the marshal was equally up for a fight. If so then I'd hope they were given the boot too

[Joining a Team?]

I've never understood the must win at all costs mentality. Sure its a nice feeling when you do manage to get all objectives, but to me it's a bonus. Also some of the most enjoyable games I've had have been when I've been on the receiving end of an arse kicking

[The 'How Did Your Airsoft Day Go? Thread]

I hope the players and Marshalls wanting to get physical were suitably dealt with. There's no excuse for threatening physical violence on site

silly?

 

some of you could work in airsoft shops, maybe some have heard something somewhere else, notice the word "guess", just any sort of idea

 

so no its not a silly question. people like you make this world the trash it is today

I was being polite calling it silly, let me rephrase it to what I really meant. It's a fucking dumb question

 

If you're going to get that upset over a word like silly then I suggest you stay off the Internet till you're old enough to not throw a tantrum over a small word

OK, I was expecting something a bit bigger (said the nun to the bishop) as the description makes it seem like the site is huge

[Site Banned all C02]

That's a good point about insurance. As much as folk like to call site owners either lazy or stupid for having these rules, for all we know they could have their hands tied by the insurance company

Not sure if I'm being stupid or I've missed something but I checked Google maps and this is the results

If we can see the results that way...

 

 

Unfortunately popular doesn't mean best. Eg the NAE is popular but the gameplay is shit.

The contest was created to raise awareness of airsoft,

I think everyone on a airsoft forum will already be aware of airsoft😁

[Site Banned all C02]

My old site had a ban on CO2 and HPA. Why? No idea and tbh I don't really care why as I wasn't running the games. At the end of the day its down to site owners to decide what rules the do and don't want to implement. If people don't like a site's rules then don't play there rather than moaning about it online 

[Joining a Team?]

Chat with others on site to see if they're up for it, if they are then the first thing you need to do I decide how deepvyou want to go. Do you want simply a band of people playing together as a group, or will you go with everyone using the same kit?

 

As for taking the game more seriously, the last thing the hobby needs is more deluded twats thinking they're Captain Price and can order others about before getting all pissy when they don't get their way

We check that everybody is prepared to drive at the speed limit when they pass their test.  I don't know why we go to all the cost and bother of speed cameras, having ensured compliance.

Not sure you've understood what I'm getting at. I'm surprised that there would be a clause which could easily allow a hot gun on the field, whether it's deliberate or accidental
