Well, if I do go to apocalypse then I'll be sure to bring my tags too and just cause chaos

They test using a 500g ball at 127cm high and dropped. Meaning that at point of impact it will hit at 4.99m/s with 6.22J of energy. The + or +2 just means the same rating but for different type of lenses (prescription)

Why did you start airsoft? I used to play paintball, but wasn't a fan of how expensive each game would cost me because all my local sites wouldn't let you use your own ammo and was forced to pay their extortionate price for balls. What do you like about airsoft I like that feeling of hearing pyros going off. It's exercise but I'm too busy having fun to notice. It's all the fun of a video game made real. What don't you like about airsoft (not including KM or non hit taking, something more substantial please) People that take it too serious. There's no real winners, no one keeping count of how many people you got out. It's harmless fun and a laugh. I've known guys dug in in Afghan who were more casual and relaxed than some of the people at Airsoft games. Do you think airsoft has any health benefits I.e keeping you fit etc Absolutely, people find sticking to exercise routine difficult at times. But when the routine is enjoyable people are more likely to keep to it. You're also using useful muscle groups in sport Vs a gym where muscle is built but not trained serve a purpose.

Im debating what game to go to. I only do one a month so not sure if i want to do dog tag, Apocalypse or Imperium.

My winter project. A mix of parts that didnt want to fit together but were made to comply. (Surpassingly it shoots better than expected +/- 6fps) G&P colt stamped receiver Nuprol Bocca handrail + Silcencer CYMA gearbox (its all I had spare) Big dragon pistol grip (Its horrible and needs replacing)

I had to get the shell from Patrolbase and the ammo from bespoke airsoft.

Honestly, at £7 a pop and realistically would only maybe use 3-4 a game its not too bad. Tings its just the initial upfront cost that puts alot of people off. Dont think i'd ever be like that youtuber alfonso who done a whole game with nothing but these things though. might as well just throw money at people to call hit.

Yeah iI checked with all the sites I frequent. They were all happy with them but basic safety rules apply (no direct direct firing at people) They seem like they can really add to a game which is why i really look forward to using them.

Welcome to the forum. Rule of shooting is this. the more rounds heading downrange the higher the chance you'll hit something. its statistics after all

They are the TagInn pyro grenades that fire from a grenade launcher. The ones pictured are the "reaper" rounds which have a 4.5 second fuse before they explode with a 10m blast radius and 120db bang. You can get smoke, impact, and powder versions too.

Well, first time using these. Needless to say I think first game after lookdown is going to be a blast.

My dead rag is a cheap red t-shirt from Primark that i've torn up to make a few. At the last game I went to i think I was the only person who had any resemblance of a dead rag. It should become more common as i think it would help alot with overshooting and people complaining about being shot when they lollygag on the walk back to respawn.

This year has been one of the worst ones for me since getting back into airsoft as an adult. total games for this year has ended at a disappointing ONE game.....But what wasnt disappointing was where I chose to go for that one game. Dogtag airsoft is set just outside of Crawley, West Sussex and covers approx. 150 acres of land. The site is set among tall evergreens with a very soft peat ground so even though its in the middle of winter it wasn't bogged out heavily which was something I feared. This site is unique as their safe zone is located in the middle of main play area which some people commented about as if it is a negative thing but the ability to quickly go back to the safe zone for toilet, batteries, ammo, or any other reason and be able to quickly re-join is a huge plus in my eyes. SAFE ZONE - This safe zone must have been built ground up with covid in mind as there is TONS of space for people. Safe zone is set up in bays with 4 people per bay. each bay has its own picnic table in the middle and two shelfs which go around the walls of the bay, one at hip height and one at shoulder height. Easy to spot section for rental players to collect their gear from with a small hatch for buying cold food, drinks and supplies (ammo, pyros) there was also an extra section where hot food was served (Did not sample the food as diabetic and have to be careful, but my god it looked good enough that i was tempted to just stab myself with some insulin and get messy with that food) Chrono was done by the marshals at their range where they test to Joules rather than FPS to ensure that isn't any creep going on which I can understand. Before going into the game staff check for tags on all guns before entering the field and it did seem they were checking peoples limits during the game as well as a guy was found to be suddenly hot during one of the games. SITE - As above in the image you can see that there are various different fields. the ones that were used on my visit were the Crater, Helicopter, swamp, Medi pack. CQB, and Valley areas. Marshal did state that they were doing battlesim days where the whole area was used which does sound appealing but for the day I went the area used was sufficient gave a nice variety and didn't feel repetitive. The ground is soft and covered in peat due to being surrounded by evergreens and there was little to no painful shrubbery like nettles and the sort. Was a few small bushes to hind in and enough to give cover but you wouldn't have to worry about getting stung if you suddenly fell into one. There are bunkers located in every field and lots of hard cover in place to hide behind making it easy to advance across a field under heavy fire providing you have good teamwork going on. Structures are well made (as im 25stone and if it doesn't wobble when i fall into it you know its solid) Game mode - Thankfully there was a spilt in modes. Nice big game for the morning when everyone is full of energy and then smaller quick modes in the afternoon once every one is dead on their feet. The first mode we played spanned across all the areas in plan for that day with one team attacking and one defending. Attackers had unlimited lives and defenders once hit had to retreat to the next objective point. Respawn point for attackers was slowly moved closer to the objective as the game went on to keep the flow and to ensure that it didn't grind to a halt which ensured gameplay was smooth. As the big game finished early there was a quick CQB game held with a zombie mode being used (two zombies vs everyone else, once hit you become the zombie untill time is called or every one is dead)

First place I went airaofting was an old power station. Richmond power station that was in sandwich, Kent. Was also host to a beloved channel 4 TV show. Was fun to watch the cooling towers getting demolished though.

it seems every site thats worth playing is at least an hours drive for me. wish I had a site like this on my door step.

well, we are not asking for the defence required for sites and ukara now are we you simple asked what MY defence was and if it would prove valid in a court. considering i have a history with being a skirmisher while yes i have been inactive past few years. but there are other defences too, for film and TV use. good old classic, and seeing as I do help with props from time to time I could use that as a defence. but seeing as Ukara is the primary option for buying an rif and just getting the free painted service knowing full well ill be painting it myself I dont see the issue. end of the day, It was purchased legally, its been modified legally and its being used legally. seems youve gone out of your way to make a point and one im failing to see?

Yeah I have a lot of paint on hand so that was first thing to get sorted out. i dont have any other flak colours so black it shal remain till i get more in.

got my new kit ready for a game day, now to get a damn sunday off from work so i can actually go to one.

Feels like a bit of a necro post. But didnt want to start a new thread. Ive just purcahsed a two tone rifle from gunfire and I have to say while the wait time sucked ( 12 days since i payed) I am happy with what i got. nothing missed painted well and downgraded the rifle to what i needed it to be. and considering the do the downgrade and painting for free now I have to say id defo buy from that site again.

well, after 12 days of waiting my new PDW finally arrived. my choice was either spend £60 on rentals for the next two months to get my ukara or spend £70 on a little package gun. Its a Dboys PDW full plastic version. wont lie it does feel like certain parts would break but the main body feels pretty good for a cheap aeg and i will say im looking forward to getting into a game with it.

Well, after a break ive gone and got my self a cheap little gun to get back into things. so i went with a dboys pdw and considering the price was £70 i cant really complain if it is sh*t, but ive heard mixxed reviews about it so why not. hope it will stand up to the indoor cqb games ill be taking it too. also got a few mags a cheap little reflex optic and a viper spec ops chest rig lets hope this summer goes well for me.
