    Favourite Gimmick?

    JD Airsoft's customer service.

    New venue

    Drakelow Tunnels near you are regularly used by more than 1 (I think) Airsoft company for games. I can imagine expanding from indoor CQB to a more mixed or outdoor site might be appealing for an established local provider perhaps. Let me know if you need more details.

    LEO Load out

    I've been tempted to do a Montreal Police inspired loadout, but I think I lack the flare to do it justice.

    WW2 loadout?

    Yeah ask the site first. I was talking to a site manager a few months ago about this and he came to the conclusion he'd prevent German WW2 uniforms for standard days. The site already had some PR issues with locals and after one game day, FB pics with an ocean of MTP broken up by a dude who...

    Calling woodland players

    I like games that make use of their woodland setting and scale but as above, suitable numbers are key. There's one mode I like where a fixed objective releases something over time - a set amount of liquid every 15 mins or whatever, which you have to obtain. Over a larger site it can give players...

    Airsoft sites in West midlands

    Howdy. Frontier Airsoft (Penkridge) - Highly Recommended. West Midlands Airsoft (Stoke X2, plus Birmingham and a new one coming in a decommissioned nuclear power station - no joke) - Highly Recommended. Hilton Park Airsoft (run by the JD Airsoft people) - Recommended, but JD is not what it...

    Is airsoft getting too expensive ?

    Yes it is. The thread is titled "Is Airsoft getting..." When you look at the way prices for Airsoft have increased some reflection and a 'back in my day' are quite acceptable thank you. I've just looked and a days Paintball for own gunners at the site I used to attend is £65 which gets you 2000...

    Is airsoft getting too expensive ?

    I think that is is getting more expensive. I switched from Paintball to Airsoft some 10+ years ago, in no small part due to cost. At the time, I was paying £5 game fee (£20 annual membership fee), + £60 for a case of paint = £65. I had 1 marker, a Tippman A-5 which would never ever ever play...

    Wastelander Loadout

    Some possible inspiration for you here and here. My main recommendation, go for a loadout that is still practical for Airsoft purposes, not just stuff that would be practical in a post-apoc setting. I once tried using some old 58 pattern webbing as part of such a loadout. When time to reload...

    New Site - Hertfordshire - Your thoughts required !

    Respectfully, I would pay this price as it seems fair but I would only pay it again if the team who run it prove themselves capable of delivering a quality days Airsoft. However impeccable their credentials in other regards, that is all that would matter. I have attended sites run for a long...

    Experience and Airsoft Wisdom

    I found myself biting my tongue at Sundays game. I was faced with 3 players, all with more expensive guns than me (and more of them) - on their 3rd game ever, including Sniper rifles as their alternative primary. They were nice enough lads no doubt about it, but I decided 3 things: 1. They need...

    How good do you think you are at Airsoft?

    I wear expensive gloves and use them to point the rentals where they need to be advancing in front of me so I can move up - therefor I am better than most.

    Balloon Wars idea

    This exists. Sensor fabric has been around for years - DARPA and the MoD have spent a fortune developing it to name but a few. I don't think it's cost effective for Airsoft manufacturers to adapt it to our needs, even after it gets cheaper, and nobody else would care enough to do it as necessary...

    Questionnaire

    I'm bored so did this, but I think it's fair to say at this stage it's a bit light on detail and specifics, and I'm far too dubious about it to have left my email there... Good luck though, I guess.

    Received faulty item who pays return postage?

    It's on them... Any terms and conditions that say you must cover the cost of returning an item don't apply where the goods being returned are faulty. http://www.which.co.uk/consumer-rights/advice/i-want-to-return-something-bought-online

    Bad luck

    Crap... This should be pinned somewhere. Best of luck dude.

    Local Police and home use

    Oh I was just on about the neighbour's joiner looking out the back window and seeing a dude with a machine-gun next door... If anybody invited trades folk into their place and doesn't take at least reasonable effort to not freak them out, that's no better than accidentally on-purpose letting...
