How to attract new players to Airsoft?
hprentice replied to GenuineGerman's topic in General Discussion
As they say, war never solved anything, except slavery, genocide, naziism, fascism, and terrorism... Theres a huge culteral shift in young people these days. As a kid, nearly every lad at school had an air rifle or airsoft gun at home. People would talk about the military at school and half the lads I knew had aspirations to join the military. Now theres not a huge interest in the military for a number of reasons (mostly they know its a lot of work for little pay) and people just dont have the desire for it. I think this goes hand in hand with airsoft and most people outside of the sport see it as an old mans game outside of their own interests. As for changing that i do think social media influence is the only way to reach younger people. There more youtubers (licking spunkstain excluded) that can post content that appeals to younger people the better. Kids now just want to play call of duty and sit around, so if more content was to reach younger audiences showing exciting gameplay then i think more people would play. -

Been spraying kit for a while. Thought id share a few tips ive learnt over time. Halfords camo spray paint is top quality for price, works just as well as higher priced brands like krylon and EC paint. Best way to make stencils is put a laminator sheet through the laminator to get a thin perspex like sheet. Then trace the camo patterns off the back of a shirt and cut with an exacto knife. Gives nice clean lines. Stencils held away from the item you are spraying gives less clean edges which actually work really well for camouflage. Using a light colour spray far away from the finished product to create a light dusting that dulls all the colours youve sprayed. Airfix/ modelling matt sealents work well to protect the items from lots of chipping Dhobi mag/netting works ok as a spray template, but can look bad as a finished product. Using a net with bigger holes works a lot better to break up shapes. Appreciate most people probably already know this stuff but hopefully helps someone. -

I think what matters most is how you use them.

I love the la rue style mounts, it works really well with the ebr
-
Because us airsofters have expensive taste and they make good looking stuff expensive

It has come to the point where i am in need of a new pair of boots. I have always used 8 inch boots, however i am liking the look of 6 inch boots. What do you guys use? What are the pros and cons of each? I have been looking at a few pairs, and the ones that really take my eye are the 5.11 taclite which come in 6" and 8". also the 5.11 XPRT 2.0 And lowa elite So what do you guys think? thanks
