I working this Sunday but I might be able to get toanother Skirmish next Sunday if there is one about

Ahhh right, that would explain why I keep hearing about them on Sniper rifles

As I am newbie I've had a question that I've been looking for a answer for, I might be sounding a little dumb here but can someone tell me in leymans terms what a "Hop up" is?

Yeah I will do

I think i'm going to sample all the ones in the northeast and see which I prefer in terms of my style and what environment suits me best so i'm sure we will bump into one another at some point which would be good. I've made a few purchases so far, I've bought gloves, mask, and eye protection, all I need now is some scruffy old clothing for now and some boots and I should be good to go

Thanks Berto, I've found everyone friendly and welcoming and as a newbie I do need a lot of advice. I've watched a lot of YouTube vids just to get an idea and perspective on what its like. I'm hoping to go to a skirmish next weekend as i have a bit of free time from work. I do travel north quite a bit as my fiancee's mum lives in South Shields so an extra 10 mins drive to Gateshead or even 20 mins to other areas in Newcastle and its surrounding areas isn't too bad

I'll definitely be having a look at that then, my research clearly hasn't been that good as I thought the only Airsoft skirmish close by was NTAC in Shildon. That just makes things better and easier

Thanks for the advice Baz JJ, I was thinking that as a first gun a sniper rifle wouldn't be the best idea so i think i'll be looking at an assault rifle to being with and then take it from there.

Forgot to mention Hudson that I'm from Thornaby but I have no problems driving to Hartlepool to car share and I'm more than happy to pick you up on the way when car sharing

I'm 30, Baz JJ Thanks Sundown Thanks Hudson I appreciate the offer and I'm more than happy to car share between us both to save on fuel. I didn't realise there was a skirmish in Consett I thought it was just in Shildon. I'm more than happy to drive to both to experience both skirmish's

Thanks for the advice guys. Having played a high number of paintballing games I think Airsoft would be right up my street if not better than paintballing, having watched a number of YouTube videos this has wet my appetite more for Airsoft.Thanks b1n0gHo5t that's a gun I've been looking at. I'm definitely going to be making some purchases shortly and I'll book up at my local skirmish and see what Airsoft is all about

Hi guys/girls, I'm new to Airsoft and I have yet to play in my first event. It's something I've been looking to get into for sometime I've just never really had the knowledge on what to do and how to get into Airsoft. I've been looking at weapons and what would be the best gun to start off with although I do like to the idea of shooting from a corner with a sniper rifle however, I'm unsure as to whether this would be a wise choice considering that I'm new to Airsoft and I'm looking for a little advice on what I should be looking for. My nearest Airsoft skirmish is I believe Shildon, County Durham as I live in Teesside. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks
