i only started in February last year , i'm 51 now and love it i've got a dodgy knee after two ops but its great , i suffer a bit the next few days after a game but i wouldn't stop now , once you've got the bug it can get expensive , my collection in just over a year amounts to four assault rifles , three pistols , various amounts of rigs and accessories , luckily i've got a man cave in the loft where i can hide it from the wife !!

We set up a theme of games called Okto Eight because we were seeing lots of players in their forties and fifties who didnt want to skirmish with children, wanted something a bit more realistic along milsim lines and for a variety of reasons, couldnt do hard core 36 hour milsim games at an MOD training ground.

We had no idea what we were starting. We now have a lot of middle aged regular players who throw themselves into it and come and play for a weekend two or three times a year. We have a regular following and many members cant make every one, but they come when they want. Some even book into a hotel for the Saturday night and go back to a nice fluffy bed after the barbeque once ENDEX is sounded.

Its been so successful, its also attracted a lot of youngsters who like the Eastern bloc theme.

If you grow up, youre dead !

Yeah that's me, no one else does this they usually all camp out! On the MDF team we have made it a bit of tradition to also grab a chinese takeout on the saturday night. After all that running around we need to refresh the energy levels.

 
and me mucker. Ive done enough camping out and sleeping rough or going without sleep. If theres a soft bed going, Im in it.

I have nothing to prove to myself anymore and Im at an age where I dont give a FF what others think.

Well I am 68 and far too old to go skirmishing. I own several air rifles and bb guns but wanted to try something different. I shoot at an indoor range but I don't think they do airsoft. I bought a Thompson sub machine gun it's fun I don't need a ukarc because its 2 tone and great fun in garden target shooting and full auto is amazing...
