2023's Airsoft Spend

[heroshark]

I hadn't spent much on anything Airsoft this year, and only played once. And then I bought an mws. Haven't used a rifle in years and decided it's the only rifle I have any desire to run and might peak my interest in playing again.

I'm choosing to stay ignorant of my spending, nothing good can come of that knowledge

hopefully long enough for me to retire

Everyone in this thread (self included) is working diligently to set their retirement further and further back.  Unless airsoft toys become an appreciating asset.

Coming back into this this year after having stopped due to expensive operations back in 2018/9.

In my infinite wisdom, I sold a lot of stuff on or gave it away to those who didn't necessarily have the cash to hand, so apart from one long and sidearm, was pretty much from scratch.

Gear - £735.19

WAS DCS SQM3 - £159.95

WAS Sabre Drop Leg - £55.96

WAS Gen 2 Dump Pouch - £26.36

WAS Drop Down Utility Pouch - £37.56

WAS Double Quick Mag - £26.36

Viper Lazer belt - £25

Viper Molle Day Pack £29

Nuprol SF Air helmet - £70

Nuprol Holster - £15

Earmor M32HC + PTT - £150

Gearbox rebuild on my AEG - £30

3x AAP-01 Green Gas Mags - £60

5x CYMA AK Mags - £50

Guns - £400

RATECH AAC 300BLK 9" (WE Base) with 7 Pmags - £400

Gamedays - £260

3x Enemy Down - £75 + £30 in petrol

2x Section 8 - £50 + £30 in petrol

1x The Depot 2.0 £35 + £70 in petrol (understandably, not in a huge rush to go back there tbh)

Total - £1395.19

Admittedly, about half of that was since my last actual game, bloody lurgy.

Luckily, for most little tidbits of plastic, I can just print it instead of coughing up money, so that's probably saved me at least £100.

about £60.....but thats just clothing / accessories for my son...

he uses the rest of my stuff, i bought loads of 'generic' clothing i can wear for normal day use but i think only £12 on a battery so far that's airsoft's related that i can remember  :lol:

This year I bought some stuff. I didn’t sell any.

Pews got delivered to work so don’t technically exist as far as Mrs M is concerned. Therefore if they don’t exist, they can’t have cost anything.

Not adding up spend gives plausible deniability, as such I’m not just so I don’t know the actual answer ?

December I had to treat myself, with it being Christmas and that… 

ICS M1 Garand: £525

Pre owned BAR: £295

S&T Type 38: £430 + £40 for x3 mags

S&T/GE Type 96: £705 + £125 for x3 mid caps (Thanks full steel proprietary crap ?)

And I bet I’ll probably still choose my M16 over all 4 of them ?

I dread to think how much I spent over the year…

Already started 2024 spend

2023 was bad enough with face protection for my son and I, 2 AEGs, 2 pistols, 5 batteries, M4 and pistol magazines (can you have too many ?),chest rigs, battle belts, mag pouches, green gas, BBs and game fees. Too frightened to add it up at present.

I added up my 2023 spend and it's kinda embarassing but I only regret a few two tones I bought before I got my UKARA, I certainly prefer to see my spend as percentages rather than £££'s

 

[sonofsammo]

Mine was about £500.
How many games did I play?
Errrr. None.
But the back garden looks like it's been snowing...
