New player Ipswich

hey everyone I'm smoorenator

I have played my first airsoft game at Airsoft GB at Great Bromley near Colchester is a good site with fasted paced games.

Really good info on this site guides ect, luckily i kept my old combats from the royal navy and from being an old cadet instructor, i am looking at getting a L85 A2 when i get my UKARA number as i am used to the bullpup style of shooting and found the airsoft version nice to use as one player was kind enough to let me try it out for one game. I am currently rebuilding my MTP set webbing and plate carrier ect as mtp works better at this site

only question is really what brands should i be using or avoiding?

Welcome!   Glad you had a good time. 

In terms of decent bullpups, ICS make an excellent L85A2. I had the opportunity to fire the SA80 a few times on a range in cadets and it's honestly one of the best replicas on the market in my opinion.

As for brands, there's a lot. Personally I'm a fan of G&G and Tokyo Marui. They make decent weapons. Gear wise I have a mix between surplus issued kit and brands such as FLYYE and Emerson. For airsoft they work just fine.

cheers for all the info, i have been getting British surplus gear almost got all my mtp gear now, with gun brands i do have a cyma m4 as an old friend who gave up airsoft just gave me his old weapon but it seems to lack power so i think i will stay away from cyma

i have been looking at giving that a try once i get my ukara number with airsoft GB or possibly Combat Airsoft in thetford

they do rentals , also look at team green airsoft as slightly cheaper, and they use the same site

Hi Smoorenator,

Theres a good CQB site near snetterton i have been to, called Battle Stations Activities.

Dont be put off if you go to book sunday walk on / rental online and it seems hardly anybody has booked up! As most players tend to just turn up and dont pre-book so theres always plenty of people there for the site (small site).

I live in Haverhill and am probably looking to go weekend after next (21/01).

Cheers

Rich
