You pinched my script you bounder.

Airsofters gonna airsoft 🤣🤣🤣🤣.
 
 
Drawing todgers in the frozen stream at AWA was a fun way to warm up the pews whe. It was -6 a couple of Christmas' ago.
 
Also fun chopping down ferns, brambles and stinging nettles "for the greater good".

I was hoping it would make my son realise that in the army you only get shot once.....compared to how many respawns he had to do on a typical skirmish day.
 
Don't mind him signing up to learn a skill/trade and serving that way.  I don't want him being Cannon fodder for whatever cnut has managed to persuade an alarmingly small proportion of the population to put them in power....when was the last truly justifiable armed conflict we were involved in (outside of local peacekeeping)?  The Falklands....  maybe the first Gulf War (the first part liberating Kuwait).
 
 
No criticism of those serving....it's the ones hiding behind their power I despise for taking advantages.

But I like shooting puddles.

Would love to make a Colonial Marine load out..... watched Aliens the other day for the gazillionth time.
 
 
 
LETS ROCK!

Hi here is my Snow Wolf AEG Weyland Yutani Commando M41A Pulse Rifle, the upgrades are mostly cosmetic to represent the Alien 3 screen used prop, the Thompson and dummy grenade launcher will both be converted to full GBB in the near future! My next project is to convert my Snow Wolf Colonial Marines to full GBB and I will hopefully start a build and upgrade thread if someone please can tell me in which section I should start the thread??

I could have written that! My son was two years older but he as well came from Nerf guns and found Airsoft videos on YouTube. 
I was surprised by how much I liked it. It reminded me of the fun part of my army days without the cluster f&@k from who ever could shout the loudest and had more stripes than you.
 
Playing Airsoft with my son has improved our relationship immensely. Before that we didn’t really have any thing to talk about. I tried to get him into Golf (my other expensive hobby) but he didn’t like it. So he got me into his hobby instead.
My wife doesn’t know who is more nuts about Airsoft now, my son or myself. I do more research while he does more larping. 
 
Last month my son managed to recruit 6 other boy soldiers from his year group. Let’s see how many will join us for the next skirmish.

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....
