Ah very true. I remember it taking days cutting up hessian sacks, dyeing them then stitching it to an oversuit…

Ah that is interesting. I've started playing again after a fairly long hiatus and I've certainly noticed a lot more folks in ghillies generally compared to when I used to play. They seemed quite rare at the time, whereas the last couple of games I've been to there have been five or six out of 100 players - only two of those had bolties. I did wonder if the success of a few ghillie wearing YouTubers had something to do with it.

Could it be that the hop isn't holding the BB long enough to generate the pressure? So the BB is on its way before the piston has generated maximum power.

Unfortunately I was dragged out of my liberal metropolitan elite bubble to do the honest work of gentrifiying a local community. Or in plain English, I quite fancied a garden and a house bigger than my shoes.

Ah cool, I'm in Lewisham.

Whoops, I did mean 2004. See my age is getting to me 😅

Hey Folks Jordan here (or Kipper as I once was on previous forums...) Started airsofting as a wee 'un back in 2004 at the old Lightfighter Urban site (RIP) and played pretty solidly elsewhere until about 2011 or so when work/life/everything got in the way. Moved house recently to SE London, relocated the airsoft box and suddenly thought 'why don't I take this back up'. I was based in Manchester when I played, and everyone I played with seems to have also given up, so any recommendations for decent places around the South East would be greatly recommended. Woodland/urban mixed was always my preference, rather than super tight CQB. Kip.
