    A Gun to start off with

    G&G blow back is cool. Some players dont rate it, but it does make a nice sound. Its not really the right sound, but its arguably better than pew-pew. Not so convinced about the heavy bolt option.

    A Gun to start off with

    Buying new guns - us here at the Okto office still get that Christmas morning feeling waiting for the courier. Its really easy to get seduced by all the models available. Look a lot, spend nothing, until you understand what it is you want to play. The first rifle i bought was an L96 bolt...

    Tips for a King Arms S&W M&P15 MOE

    7.4V LIPO is a good all rounder and wont burn out trigger contacts in the same way that the higher voltage ones can. LIPO is a better technology but one word of warning: 1. make sure your charger is suitable for charging them 2. only charge them under supervision as the chemistry can be a bit...

    Which Holster?

    The first rule: "Never point a gun at anything you are not willing to destroy"

    Another Noob

    Welcome. "Guns: They change from week to week" - chuckled at that. How often do new players come on here saying I have made my mind up and want a particular make and model of gun and after many, many posts of people trying to drill down into the detail and help, they go off and get something...

    Which Holster?

    Be careful with cheap holsters. Have had a pistol drop out when running on a cheap holster not dissimilar to that. A broken pistol means a cheap holster isn't.

    First Experience...

    The beauty of airsoft is that you can make these "fatal" mistakes time and time again and learn from them.

    TAG innovation adaptation.

    We use them a lot. Make sure your site is happy with them before you invest. Not all sites accept them.

    Facebook Bans Airsoft Gun Sales

    As said in our earlier post, it seems it only affects second hand sales and trades (at the moment at least). The airsoft community and retail stuff is still continuing and most of the trade and sell groups have simply morphed into community only groups to survive the cull.

    Facebook Bans Airsoft Gun Sales

    At the moment, it's sales and trading of firearms which includes BB guns by their default. Whether it impacts on airsoft (non second hand sales) and photos of military stuff remains to be seen. Facebook is useful in that many people have access and its really easy to post stuff up, especially...

    Help Needed What to choose??

    Don't rush into anything. You're at the start of a hedonistic spending orgy, so you need to put the brakes on a little. Play a few games and have a look (and if possible feel) of the sites rental and other players guns (with their permission). You will yo-yo around with different ideas of...

    Opinion on these goggles?

    The second link didnt work for us. The first doesn't mention anything about protection rating or standard compliance. In our experience, the words budget and eye protection don't mix well. Its worth spending decent money on rated eye protection before you worry about all the other airsoft...

    ukara query

    Its just to confirm you are who you say you are and your current address. Get your site to submit your application. They normally just want to see your documentation. Passport and photo driving licence are normally good.

    Hertfordshire - Potential new site - Market Research

    Hi Greg. We are part of the same group as Gunman Airsoft and we specialise only in themed milsims so don't have anything to do with the regular skirmishes. Tuddenham was run by a different managment team at that time. As you say, there have been changes. The current Gunman manager is Doug and...

    Advice on an Airsoft pistol I've been given

    Just be aware, in case you aren't aware, that this is a Realistic Imitation Firearm and there are laws controlling the sale, even on the second hand market. http://www.cheshireeast.gov.uk/business/trading_standards/business_support/product_safety/imitation_firearms.aspx

    Melee combat.

    We like them because they dont have sharp points. Although the rubber knives bend, they do have some sharp points on them. Our rules dictate that you should lay the flat of the blade rather than stab. They are quite blunt really. You are more likely to suffer blunt force trauma with CSTK. If...
