Wowsers, airsoft notwithstanding, things were a lot more chill when I was studying at Lampeter LOL. Kinda defeats the point if they can't look into things and have to give notice, but hey ho. 🤣

Actually brought myself to watching the video.....I can't say how frustrating these AI voices are....especially the scripts. How hard is it to get a native speaker to proof read them?

How do you expect to sell stuff if you don't publicly disclose where its sold?

Are we serious here at this stage? Perhaps try pulling the slide back harder, 🤪

That might have been Sentinel near Tring/Dunstable. ..but Snipers and DMRs were banned when I went there.

I'm still waiting for them to fix my pew. I phoned them a few weeks ago and w a s told the tech is working through a backlog still. 2 weeks was suggested which happened to be the day I flew to Japan for a surprise family visit.... I'm not back for another week, or until I run out of Sake. Pity my UKARA expired otherwise.....well .....you guys know......

Wandsworth is travelling distance to the likes of Red Alert..... I regularly drive upwards of an hour for a gameday, but as I'm outside Laaandan (North Hertfordshire) I am lucky to have quite selection in the driving range. Remember, leaving Wandsworth at that time of the morning on a weekend is going to be very different to what you might think it is during your weekday commutes - I travel in to your area regularly by car/van for work. The loss of Hammersmith bridge has been major, and many years later TFL and Richmond Council are still arguing over who has to fix it.

We would have been fookked on many levels if they did this when I was at university. After we left halls (a large house just of campus) apparently we were the straw that broke the camels back and next year it was converted to an Islamic Studies department. Multiple times the Student's union bar manager had to walk 300m up the river bank to ask us to turn our music down 😎. University tradition was to invite final year students to return to halls.....we had no such invitation. Academia was very much second fiddle to the University of Life. Thinking about the carnage we caused with hair clippers and CO2 fire extinguishers.... I dread to think what could have been achieved with RIFs and pyros. 🥶. Fun times. Thankfully the year before a Labour (of all things) government brought in tuition fees. One of the first things we did in private rentals was work out how to "hinder" the smoke alarms. It was embarrassing how often they went off during Fresher's Week...... Of which I have stories I will not risk the boy reading here 🫣. Long live the 90's.

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 seem to recall having mixed 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..... he hasn't 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.
