That sounds like an utter shit show. Events such as this are pretty close to my idea of hell, partly because decades of running and working at festivals have left me with a somewhat jaundiced view of the sorts of behaviour that humans indulge in when unsupervised and in a large crowd. Based on what you have written, the organisers should never be allowed to run an event again; however, I am sure they will and equally sure that people will still pay to attend. The chap running a standard rifle using .32s at 2.6J should be named and shamed. I am not sure if the "naughty players" FB group is still running; if it is, at the very least his details should be shared there by the organisers, so that site owners and head marshals are aware of him.

I was on yellow as well; the sides seemed to be reasonably well matched. Welcome to the forum!

That sounds like an interesting day!

He isn't inferring that we are using steel BBs; he is using a form of Socratic questioning.

I think you hit the point when you wrote "..as long as they feel that it is a style of site they could be interested in..." It didn't float my boat at all; I prefer more complex games with mission objectives etc. You appear to have felt strongly enough about the day to create an account here and write your first post about it. Out of interest, which team were you on today?

I had also been considering it for a while. On arriving, I couldn't find anyone to check in with; three of us eventually found someone in the shop/office. While everyone was prepping their kit, there was a fair amount of dry firing in the safe zone, which didn't seem to worry the staff. The real disappointment was the games. Mayhem is very much a paintball site, with a number of different fields that could provide some interesting gameplay. However, the four games that we played in the morning all involved the teams starting on opposite sides of a field and having to do something (move a flag, capture a flag, capture a jerrycan) that was a mechanism to bring the teams into contact. This ended up with two lines of players shooting at each other; there was no real possibility to be sneaky or to try something creative. I found it rather boring. If you are considering going, be aware that they do not do hot food. There are vending machines for fizzy drinks, chocolate and crisps and a tea/coffee dispenser, all of which take contactless payments. One positive element is that, despite what it states on their website, they chrono on the weight of BB that you are using.

I went to Mayhem in Essex; I was disappointed, so left at lunchtime. I won't be returning.

I have been since the change of management. The marshalling was shocking.

Welcome aboard!

I'll put you down as a "Don't Know" then.

Looks good; I will try to get to the next one.

Your jest trying too wynd me up.

I have no intention of going back there due to that and the dreadful marshalling.

Fair enough. Thanks for the clarification.

Their I cannot see any reason for substituting items that have been ordered. If they don’t have enough in stock, their inventory management needs to be improved; they cannot just send people something that they did not order.

That is worrying! I have just put in an order for BBs, which are very well priced in the sale.

It isn’t too far. I have walked up there with two weapons and all my kit without any problem.

I bought this rather nice ICS Masada from the classifieds here a couple of weeks ago; it is now set up and has a Perun Hybrid.

I am lucky in that we have a gym at work; £168 per year!

Some of us are so old that we started off with airsoft arquebuses.

Which site will you use when you come out of the closet? A chap recently had a flashbang go off in his bag in the back of his car at AP; he chucked his bag in prior to leaving and there was a nice loud bang.

Only in that it is supposedly able to deal with higher loads without failing; it does not have the features of a Perun AB++ or Hybrid.

I am not sure really. I will sign up for one this year. I also have an MPiKM and an MPi-AK-74N, both with the lovely plastic furniture; both are based on CYMA RIFs. I do like sites that follow up the tough talk about the consequences of repeated non hit taking, having a hot gun and serious bad behaviour; the chap who runs Airsoft Plantation has no qualms about sending people home.
