it's just an added bonus that will reap the rewards when civilisation falls.

You'd best check for 'cad' too.  Most bounders tend to be cads from what I hear

Yeah agree. My fav is seeing how many shots to knock a complete leaf off.
The amount of times I've been hit while distracted by playing'You're dead leaf' 😂

I have seen people sent home for shooting out of bounds after clear warnings about not doing so, deliberately taking out a hot gun, letting off a round in the safe zone (that was an interesting one), smoking weed in the lunch break, and repeated non hit taking despite warnings.

I sympathise with the need for a system of defense such as UKARA, but to be fair to the OP, my son's  situation would mean that if he were 18, it would be incredibly difficult for him to maintain a UKARA defense, and once I leave the UK,  it will be the same for me.  We'll only be back for a month or two at a time with lots of family visiting responsibilities to fit into a limited budget when it comes to car hire, fees, ammo, and possibly having to rent an air BnB for the duration.
 
Hence, as discussed in other threads, I maintain an album of site generated pictures of me and him participating in the hobby to help us form a defence of our own should we ever be pulled over by the fuzz with a car full of RIFs.  Which I know doesn't help with retailers...  but then this is the reason for this thread I suppose. 
 
Mind you the OP didn't do himself any favours by not at least trying to explain the situation.
 
Just playing devil's advocate. 

But I like shooting puddles. 

Can I scare you by shouting "right turn Clyde" 😜

As someone who has just started this journey I'll add my 2 cents.
 
It was my son who suggested we try airsoft. He's only 12 but having played with Nerf guns (myself aswell) for a few years he wanted to try airsoft.
After he got over the initial shock of being hit he really enjoyed playing. Personally I enjoyed it more than I thought I would!
 
Cost - I think its comparable to other hobbies, fishing, paddle boarding, and cheaper than many, cycling, golf, sailing.
Heath - I don't think this is mentioned enough, outdoors (mostly) and as physical as you want it to be, I know I come home knackered...
Social - Team building, meeting new people, sharing experiences
Mental - Keeping your brain active with marksmanship, strategy, problem solving.
 
Most of all its fun and a good way to forget your day to day troubles.
 
I'm not playing airsoft with my son to train him to be a killer, we are spending time together, he's getting more confident and learning to be responsible. I think its a great outdoor activity and good value for money.
 
You can tell i work in Marketing LOL....

Actually learnt a few things in that video - I didn't realise you were supposed to weave the straps on the pouches for one.  Wonder if I will have time tonight before tomorrow to re run it all on my rigs.

I watched the original Alien film when I was about 4 or 5.  My dad said I absolutely loved it.  No nightmares at all.  Then a few years later Spitting Image did a take off with Maggie Thatcher:
 

 
 
Now that freaked the absolute shit out of me for years apparently - had to check under the bed, no cuddly toys around, just in case.
 
That was nightmare fuel.

Some creative ideas of what you spent the night doing with caller's mumn tends to rile them up in amusing ways.
 
Maybe something involving a rubber glove, a pound of agitated insect larvae and a Brian Adams CD?
