Unreal Warfare

I recently took up model painting and came across Biostrip which you can freely get from Element Games for around £10-£18 (tub size dependant). I haven't tested it on anything other than plastic models and Acrylic paints but it doesnt damage the models, works prety fast and is really easy to use. Worth a punt maybe as it's relatively harmless to use compared to some other stuff people may suggest.

If you’re asked to wear an armband on your arm by the Marshalls running the site and you then, without Marshall permission, remove said armband from your arm, to your leg or elsewhere, then you’re cheating and gaining an unfair disadvantage over others who are playing fairly by the rules. Simple.

Received a new pair of Revision Sawfly Glasses in the post today. Lost the clear and tinted lenses on my old pair that I had and couldn’t remember what model they were to replace them (they were Revision but weren’t Sawfly) so just bought a new pair with all lenses etc for £25. Bargain! A more comfortable fit & more versatile than my Bolle Trackers. Hopefully won’t fog as much either.

Added a GK Tactical Suppressor to my G&G Predator.

If you’re the kinda player that isn’t afraid to drop prone then mags on your belly isn’t really the one. It’s uncomfortable and also more difficult to access your kit. Even more so if you’re rocking a bit of a dad bod. Best off wearing them as they should be worn. If you’re a larger player, don’t worry about what others think. We’re all just crazy larping cosplayers who like to shoot each other at the end of the day anyway.

My first Airsoft game day (mostly borrowed kit from friends, the assault vest is mine though) vs my owned load out as of today (pic was taken today and posted in another thread).

Probably see a hundred multi-cam load outs a week, but this is my first load out (on a budget) so basic, universal & cheap was my general goal to get started.

Needs moar frying pan.

Always been the same marshal giving the rules brief. Don’t know his name though.

Outdoor. It was the first time I’d gone and they’d openly stated it during the rules brief mind. They’d never stated it the times I’d gone before.

Skirmish Nottingham disallowed recording the last time I went (last month).

Anyone got any experience with using mag couplers in Airsoft games? Did you find any advantages/disadvantages to using them? Do you feel that it improved your experience in any way?

If it's your first and you are hell bent on G&G only then a lot of my friends recommended a Wildhog to me as a not too expensive weapon with ETU and Mosfet etc (around £200 - £250 depending on where you buy from) which allowed me to budget for 2 extra mags, 2 batteries, a charger, weapon case etc also (do make sure to figure those into your budget if it is your first weapon, you're probably looking at least £50-100 extra on top of the weapon itself)). I went to a physical store to get hands on and a feel for the weapon and ended up spending a little more and getting a G&G Predator personally, which has pretty much the same features but just looked a bit cooler more than anything else. There's the CM16 variant which is polymer body and the GC16 variant which is steel body (if I recall correctly). You'd probably want to change the stock as batteries can be a bit of a tight fit (though they will fit if you get the right type). It felt nice and comfortable, and has a nice fire rate. I am sure more experienced players here will be able to give you a whole range of diverse information and maybe even recommend better brands or models, but as a new player this was my experience purchasing a new G&G weapon personally. I definitely recommend going into a store and getting some hands on if you are able to.

My friends who I play with said they didn’t enjoy Phoenix either. I’ve never been myself so don’t have an opinion either way personally.

Picked up the following on eBay for a decent price. Here's hoping it's all good when it arrives! 🙂 •Condor Sentry Plate Carrier in Crye MultiCam •Condor Triple M4/M16 Mag Pouch (holds 6) in Crye MultiCam •Dummy plastic plate x1

Not even aware of any sites in Derby, lol. I haven't been doing this long. 🙂

I want to replace my old British Army desert camo assault vest (it's not really suitable for woodland or urban skirmishes). I'm considering a plate carrier with pouches. One option I am thinking of is the Warrior CPC PCR Covert Plate Carrier Multicam Combo with Pathfinder Chest Rig. Are there's better options out there at that price range, or cheaper?

Don’t see the point in making them look weathered. They will weather with usage which will tell it’s own stories. If you’re actively using your kit then there’s no point in getting upset over general wear and tear.

Genuinely not sure. Will investigate. We have an axe throwing place in the city centre. Do you think it would be worth asking them also? Edit: I asked them anyway. They said no because of insurance. Oh well. Don’t ask don’t get and all that. 🥲

Hi, Does anyone know of anywhere that I could go for test firing airsoft weapons in Nottingham? Travelling to Skirmish & back is a bit overkill for wanting to test stuff and zero in etc. And it’s not really something I want to do on a game day either. I live in the city centre and my garden is a shared communal space (plus some of the other residents have small animals etc too), so don’t want to cause any disturbance locally for obvious reasons. I’m aware that I must use private land with permission etc to stay within the confines of the law.

I’ll keep that in mind, thanks. I got put onto a retailer from the guy at my local store that might have some so I’ll see if they can help first. 😊

I actually like this idea of a theme. 🤣 Ah thanks for the positive feedback on weapon choice. A few of my friends who I play with recommended a G&G M4 as a first time weapon so after browsing in the local shop it came down to the Predator or the Wild Hog. I’m sure they’ve probably got some small differences but I didn’t personally see much difference between the two so went for what looked cooler. Seems pretty solid so far. 😊 That is pretty much all I have got mind. I did pick up a cheap red dot sight from Amazon (which is surprisingly semi decent for the cheap price). Trying to find a decent length keymod pitcatinny rail (around 25-27 slot?) to go underneath it now which is proving a little difficult (other than Ali-express, lol).

Hi, I'm from Nottingham UK, 42M, ex British Armed Forces, and a fairly new Airsoft player. I have played 3 times in Nottingham so far, have recently obtained my UKARA and purchased my first Airsoft Rifle (G&G CM16 Predator). Thought I'd just see what this community was all about. Maybe make some new friends along the way (who knows?). Feel free to say hi. 👋
