I wanted to flag up an event I've been to twice now - Criminal Contact, at Warminster Airsoft. Basically I would love for more people to come along - as that just makes it even more fun!
LARP is usually Live Action Role Playing - this is 'Live Airsoft Role Playing'. What this means is everyone starts with melee weapons, and a bunch of in-game credits - and your goal is to wheel and deal by trading various in-game items and earn more credits. Enough credits will buy you the right to use something double action, like a shotgun or bolt action. More credits allows semi-auto (pistol/rifle), and finally full auto. (Shotguns are available for hire if you don't have one)
There are various characters around - a distiller, a shopkeeper, miners, farmers, doctors (who you call if you get hit), undertaker (who you call if you don't get mediced)... as well as a 'civilised' village area with police, a mayor and a bank, into which you need to deposit your credits to win. All of those roles are available to players, even first-timers, and you can get into character as much or as little as you like. Particular effort with things like costume or character tend to be rewarded with credits - which gives you a leg-up on everyone else. Backstabbing and mugging is encouraged. Bribery, market manipulation and outright lying will help you win.
Both times I've been were really good, and you never know how it's going to play out. It's a nice change from skirmish mayhem or milsim seriousness - particularly if you fancy getting into a character.
Next one is September 15. After that will be April-ish.

If you have any questions post and I'll try and answer, but best bet is to message the organiser on facebook.
