There is no definitive answer.   You are better off asking how long is a piece of string.
 
 
 
Welcome by the way. 😁

Hey folks, I thought we were a friendly bunch here?
 
Here you go Oli_Bacon mine is dissassembled too, hope it helps.

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.

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?

So, as kind of a 6 month update on a three year update, i thought i'd chime in...
 
Martin has left now completely. He suffered some serious bereavement over xmas, losing his mum and his son.
Which is s shit sandwich in anyones books.
 
Jon has full control now and Dimitri (the mad russian) have been busy beavers. The village has been extended with extra structures and cover, the trenches have been redug, the safe are has lighting and the marshalls are on point. Which is all good.
The toilet block is STILL coming but alas has not made an appearance yet. The hill is still a killer (and i'm not getting younger!!).
The shop is getting bigger and the food is getting better each time i go, although the lunchtime queue can be a bit painful. 
They've been trying to put on night games and Milsim type stuff, but i believe Jon has been uber busy sorting out the shops at several other sites.
I still go on saturdays when i can as i usually have the boy and his "hangers on". Havent been on a sunday for a while.
 

Hello. I'm Liam, the current President of Cardiff's Airsoft Society. I've seen that you've spoken already with some of the other members on our Discord but just wanted to pop our experience and advice here for others to see.
 
Unfortunately, in Cardiff University accomodation (and most other University Accomodation), airsoft guns are not permitted as they would be considered a "replica weapon". The specific line from your contract to be concerned about is:
15. (2) "You must not bring into the dwelling or Building anything which in the University’s reasonable opinion
is or may become dangerous, noxious, offensive, combustible, corrosive, inflammable, radioactive or
explosive including, (but not limited to), firearms, air rifles, pistols, cross-bows, or any other weapons
(including replicas or deactivated weapons), gas cylinders or oil burners."
 
Based on this, our official advice as a society is to follow your accommodation's contract.
 
Luckily, we have a locker that is provided by our Student's Union. Unfortunately, this has limited space. We sometimes allow members to store their equipment in the locker however this is typically limited to a maximum of 1 gun case and we do not guaratee that this will be a possiblity. It is at the discretion of our Quartermaster. As far as I am aware, this is not standard for University Airsoft Societies and some others do not have any space to store society equipment at all, let alone member's equipment.
 
There are people who decide to violate their accommodation T&C by storing their equipment in their accommodation room (including myself in my first year) though this is not our official position. For those that do, this is generally what is noted and the advice given:
- Typical room inspections at Cardiff's Residences do not include opening closets, drawers, looking under beds etc. When I was in halls, this never occured to anyone I know. I had a security camera in my room and when the inspections occurred so I saw what they did. They simply opened the door, took a note on the general condition and left. This isn't definitely what would happen now (there was a degree of covid worry still at this time) and doesn't necessarily reflect what happens at other Universities either. You should also receive 24 hours notice before any inspection.
- Your flatmates should not be able to access your room. To my knowledge, in all Cardiff Accomodations, your personal room will have a lock to which only you (and security) will have a key. Hard cases can usually be locked with a padlock to prevent easy access also.
- Don't bring your guns into the communal areas of your flat. Security are permitted to enter communal areas without notification. Other people may also see through windows and be alarmed.
- Don't show your flatmates your guns, especially if you don't know them well. They may not be comfortable with it or may report it. If you want to show them the sport, bring them along to a "Give it a Go" session ;).
- Store guns in gunbags/hardcases at all times. Don't make it obvious what is inside (don't put gun stickers on it). It is very unlikely that an inspection would involve opening your case.
To my knowledge, we have had no cases of anyone getting in trouble for storing airsoft equipment in University Accommodation since Covid.
Again, our official position is to advise against breaking your accomodation T&C. However, we aren't going to stop you and certainly aren't going to report you ourselves.
 
In terms of transporting around the city:
- Keep your gun in a case/bag at all times.
- Don't make it obvious what is inside. Don't put stickers with guns on it. Don't put military insignia on it.
- Don't wear full equipment while walking around. We have a policy of half camo maximum (so either camo trousers or top, not both), all other equipment must be carried in a bag (chest rig, helmet, .etc).
- If you're particularly concerned, Cardiff's Taxis and Uber are pretty cheap compared to the rest of the UK.
- We provide transport to most games so as long as you can get to the Student's Union, you can get to the games.
Again, we have had no issues since Covid with people transporting equipment. In fact occasionally we take public transport to gamedays (though we notify BTP beforehand).
 
Money saving tips:
- We sell BBs and equipment to members at reduced cost. I wont go into detail here as I am unsure of advertising rules on this site.
 
There aren't any particular laws in Wales you need to be concerned about regarding Airsoft.
 
Any other questions, shoot me a message on the Discord.
Looking forward to seeing you next year hopefully
Luckily, we also have not had any cases of this. I (and many other of our members) regularly did and do research regarding airsoft on the Eduroam network without any issue. If it were to occur, I imagine we'd be complaining pretty quickly.

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'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.

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.

Wycombe Skirmish? I've heard it's improved. The site was always fine, but the marshals were appalling. 
Teenagers that gave no shits at all. 
I need to give it another try. 
 
Red Alert, on the other hand, has devastatingly handsome, witty and humble marshals. 😁

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. 

Nobody move, this is a threadjack!
 
You're in the Reading area? Come over to Red Alert airsoft, where you'll also find @StackUpAirsoft
 
Okay, threadjack over, as you were. 😁
