    Airsoft and Covid Restrictions While Playing on Site - Thoughts?

    Viper Strike, up in Dundee.  I've heard from a few the POW are taking it seriously too, but I'm sticking close to home for now ?

    Airsoft and Covid Restrictions While Playing on Site - Thoughts?

    Our local outdoor site has been open every weekend (alternating Saturday and Sundays) since lockdown restrictions were eased and allowed it.  They have restrictions in place - pre book only, max numbers, hand sanitizer, track and trace, no inside buildings only games etc.  I feel ok going to...

    Swapping From Nimh to Li-po Batteries for Umarex Ump Sportline

    I've also been told (and used ) 7.4v lipos are good for 8.4v NiMH batteries.  But yes, I think you might struggle getting a lipo to fit there. Is running a batter bag/box an option? VP batteries are pretty thin, but I think they might be too wide then.

    Revision Sawfly - £19.99 new a bit suspect?

    It's to do with head size, so width rather than length of forehead to ears.  I wear the small ones. The only difference in these from the regular ones is the lenses has SH on the lens, rather than just S. Large frames/lenses only have one "nose notch" rather than the two notches that small and...

    Revision Sawfly - £19.99 new a bit suspect?

    They look legit to me (same as mine). However they are at best "good as new". They have been removed from their packaging and bring sold by a person, rather than a shop.

    Ear Shot

    I've been shot in the ear lobe a few times. Was pretty nippy and a little blood but not awful. Lower stomach, knee cap and throat are the bits that I find hurt the most. Fingers would probably be on the list, but I wear bike gloves that have hard bits in the fingers so the BBS just skip off them ?

    Someone f**ked up !

    This would be enough for me not to play at a site that allows that sort of eye pro on field of play.  Ben might not care too much about his eyes and the massive gaps around those glasses. But I can tell you I would feel absolutely horrified if my shot was even possibly one that mushed an eye.

    How many chances?

    I get so sick of the non-hit taking by a few select players now that I simply don't even bother shooting them any more. I just move and pick another target.  There are way more important things to get wound up over in my view!  Most players I have found start behaving themselves after a quiet...

    Airsoft Game Day Photography Do's and Don'ts ?

    Thanks for the tips, those photos have given me a good few ideas for next game day. Thanks very much ?  The most processing I do on 95% of my photos is simply adjusting the levels/curves. I enjoy taking photos, but processing them all to a high degree is something I'm not going to spend lots of...

    Airsoft Game Day Photography Do's and Don'ts ?

    I didn't have a hi-viz for about 50min. The amount of players who thought my camera was a gun and started shooting at me was simply amusing ? Not only does it mean I get hit a lot more, but it is frustrating for players if they think I am not take my hits...  I'm sticking with wearing hi-viz. ...

    Urgh that sounds so frustrating. Hope they get it sorted quick for you if you send it back.

    Hmm... That could be something I could do! Take the best handful from a days shoot ?

    Airsoft Game Day Photography Do's and Don'ts ?

    Totally understand that. A few months ago I would have put them on Flickr. But since Flickr limits free accounts to 1k photos and more than doubled the price of pro, I've fallen out with them!  If you have any suggestions of a better photo sharing platform, pass on the info.

    Airsoft Game Day Photography Do's and Don'ts ?

    Cheers guys. I'll give the panning thing a go next time @Druid799. I've done it when taking photos at the race track. I definitely need some practice at it though. Out of the 300-odd shots at the weekend I took. Around 80-90 of them are good enough to post in my eyes ? I do love the burst mode...

    Airsoft Game Day Photography Do's and Don'ts ?

    Good point! I can honestly say I've never asked anyone to stay still for a shot when playing a game, that would really irritate me too ?

    Airsoft Game Day Photography Do's and Don'ts ?

    And before you say it, yes I searched, yes I found topics 4 years old. I've read them (and maybe got some tips), but would rather a more up to date point of view. The past few months I've not really be fit enough to play airsoft properly. I've taken photos at a few games days at my local site...

    Hello from... all over the place!

    Welcome!  For sites near Glasgow, The Depot is my first choice. Fantastic and well run place to play CQB.  Most lower mesh face masks  work well, so long as they are the "two strap" kind rather than the ones that only have one strap for over your head. If you are getting a helmet, then you can...
