London is rather large ... roughly which bit? Do you have your own transport? How far are you willing to go? Welcome to the site! The last thing to worry about is a social network of airsofters... I regularly go on my tod. Airsofters are a friendly bunch.

Can't add much more to the above other than, after the first year, our group from halls stayed together for the remaining years or private rental while studying; so it wouldn't have been an issue then. During your first year, if the above doesn't help, find a regular site that may be willing to keep your pews for you.

I've been there 3 or 4 times over the last 18 months....the first time I seen to recall having fixed feelings on the marshalls, but we did have a blast the other times. Will make a point of coming to Red Alert and see if we can bring a party of 5 or 6. 👍 The boy is fishing for a 2 day event this summer..... hebuasnt shot anyone since August.

Haven't been to Red Alert yet, but probably will in the summer when the boy is back as we have friends living in Lower Early. High Wycombe is also very good with nice safe zone a food options.

I have had decent service from Cage too. Just minor upgrades to a working pew.

Didn't that Hi Capa get brought up here recently as being Gangsta Boi?

What's the lunch situation there? Bring Your Own? One must have one's creature comforts.

You'll need to aim for 310fps for .25s. Otherwise your gun will be too spicy.

You're probably right - OP hasn't been back since his opening. So either he's been grounded until the next Eclipse, or he was on a wind up. Still we should give the benefit of the doubt sometimes.

I remember that being discussed a while a go so that's good news. I wonder if we'll be able to commandeer a horse for some high speed charges.

The struggle was real I have to admit. Nice to hear they're experimenting with the lights. I won't be able to go for at least 3 weeks now sadly due to travelling.... hopefully by then though, lunches will be resumed or the woodland site back open.

Don't worry - it has a monopod with pop out bi-pod now... I need to update the picture. LOL I try and do two a month, btu at the moment once is all I can manage with work and travelling. @gavinkempsell I know it was worrying you so here it is: Got a much better scope on it too since that gun wall pic.... For @Portela_999 all of that in the picture is secondhand but still comes to £580 worth - and SWMBO has no idea it even exists (at the moment).

Different motors Better quality gearboxes Better (or no) QC Better barrels Higher grade polymers... The list is endless and can also be meaningless. One of my best guns is the cheapest... But then collections get silly (look at @gavinkempsellfor example). This is my gunwall: And that is not including pistols and the boy's RIFs, and we've only been doing this two and a half years. Browsing the classifieds here is lethal I can tell you.

I agree with @GenuineGerman, spend a few sheckles more and get the Specna. Those included chargers are only worth using a few times until a better one arrives. I would seriously hold off buying anything until you have had a few game days - even if only to give you time to get a list of bits that will last you and you've had a chance to try a few other player's guns. You might decide you prefer an MP5 instead of an M4. A proper charger is a must, and eventually you'll be changing battery connectors to better ones. Spend wisely. Ask nicely at chrono/the site's range and people will let you have a few rounds down course. A lot of us will let you have a game with a back up gun or one of our less expensive babies.... I let a lad have a couple of magazines and a pistol last time out because I could see he was envious on us running around popping caps in people's asses, and he was a rental on his first time out. Two-tone can be undone, but it does reduce the resale value of the pew. Those few weeks waiting for UKARA will fly by and you'll be in a better position as a result with better targeted purchases.

We quite enjoyed our gameday there, but I remember the map being pretty large and the directions rather vague. Wouldn't say no to going there again, but we have so many options within that driving radius.

Don't forget the world famous BBC at Spec Ops.... Apparently stands for "Bluebell Copse" or something....

Yes - the weight is more down to the hop in the gun and the environment you're pewing in.... outdoors you want a .25 or .28 really otherwise leaves become a deflector screen, and Bush wookies might not feel the impacts. If you're indoors, then I see no need to use anything more than .2s. With increased weight comes increased cost too. There's a thread with a spreadsheet somewhere on the forum with links and prices - I'll see if I can find it. Here we are:

I forgot to add.....I helped build it and saw a 3d model ahead of time.

We're airsofters....not fecking Ranulph Fiennes. Most of us are lucky to make it to gameday without getting lost. I got lost in a small cqb site on a single level the other week.

I didn't realise that...thanks.

If that's how you're doing it then you'll only get a few tens of pictures into your account storage.

I upload mine to Google photos. Then put them in a shared album. From a PC you can then right click the image you want and paste the link directly into the post. The advantage of this is full resolution too. I haven't worked out how to get the link from a mobile. This shouldn't eat into your storage allowance. Alternatively you can download an image resized app and upload them to the site.
