Female who’s just had my first CQB game!

Where are you heading this weekend? Think we are out and about so may see you.

I’m heading to skirmish Billericay, was going to be plantation but skirmish seemed more of a beginner site!

We are going to Billericay tomorrow too. Should be about 6 of us. 

Look out for the lanky prat in a DYEi4 mask, surrounded by BushWookies. That’s me.

Anyone  else going to be in attendance?

Just realised I have no carry case to take my gun in!!! Can I just take it in the original box I bought it in?

Plenty of people do, though if it has a picture of a gun on it that's not always 100% ideal.  Can always just wap a load of tape/paper/fabric or whatever on/around the box though.  I'd recommend the Guarder M2000 if you decide to invest later, or one of the Voodoo Tac multi gun bags.  May seem overkill now but you'll need something like that down the line and it's much cheaper overall to get something too big now vs buying what fits your current gear and selling it on at a loss when you need to upgrade.

On a separate note, I wouldn't really say there are beginner sites or otherwise tbh, maybe events that aren't so beginner friendly if you've not been in the service or already had a lot of outdoor experience but they're far from common and not the sort of thing you just accidentally rock up to.  Skirmish wise you just play wherever, everyone wants as much business as possible.

Just wondering but why can’t you have a picture of a weapon on the box? I’ll be sure to tape it up tonight and let my brother know too!

Well legally I'd say that's a grey area, it would entirely depend where you carried it since 'brandishing' is very much a no-no and the way some jobsworths and curtain-twitchers are you could fall foul of somebody easily with 'a gun' in Britain 2018 (yep even a picture).  If you think that most police have any idea how to tell a real gun form airsoft even when they've got it in their hand right there let alone from a distance.. well don't think that ha.

End of the day always better safe than sorry even if the car park of a given site is within the boundaries of the site and you can't be seen when you open the boot.  Also my personal opinion is it's always best to just be as low profile as possible on the way to/from an event.  Like I'll maybe wear camo trousers at most but with a civvie jacket on top while I'm driving, all my bags are plain colours, no camo gear or gun bits protrude in any way etc etc, you get the idea.  Hell even from a crime avoidance perspective it makes sense because thieves are looking out for anything that unusual; there's so many reasons to just stay under the radar as much as possible while travelling.  Granted the likelihood is low for all this stuff, however the severity of potential consequence can be very high.

Some sites stipulate that you need to have all RIFs/ifs concealed moving to and from the safe zone. The only ones I actually know of that do this are Zedadventures sites. Check with the site, most don’t care, and to be honest unless your likely to be seen by the public I wouldn’t worry too much

Okay thanks guys, I’ll tape up the pics tonight and my gear will all be in the boot alongside my brothers! I’ll probablt be wearing a hoody to the site anyway being morning and all ?? thank you!!

Ace, how did you find it.  Did you manage to meet any AFUKers while you were there?
