New, slightly old, player

[Baser]

Hi Forum 

Quick intro, started playing last year, borrowing kit from a good mate who got me into the game.  Mostly been playing outdoor, forest mil sim at Invicta battlefields woodlands Kent and had real fun, starting to learn how the game is played. 

Been buying my own kit over the winter and now have a reasonable amount of British army green forest camo along with eye and face protection etc etc. 

Decided to go all in and just bought my first gun (Cyma Platinum MP5 CM0.41L) and the associated trimmings after my first CQB indoor event, which really got the blood pumping, the gun is going in for a bit of tuning before it comes to me with a longer barrel and an upgraded mosfet along with a couple of other upgrades to personalise and remove some of the reported weaknesses. 

Next I need to choose an optic but wanted to play a few games before deciding what to get.

Welcome, slightly old is fine, I was late 40s when I first got into it.

Welcome. There's quite a few of us older players here. I would've put mature but I think quite a few of us grew old but not up

Some of us are so old that we started off with airsoft arquebuses.

Welcome

I also started in my 40's to share activities with my son.  Of course he rushes off and I don't see him for the rest of the game except in passing to the respawn ?

That's the beauty if this sport.  We can all enjoy it with different play styles.

I think us, more mature players, are better at tactical sneaking around with the occasional banzai charge ?

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! 

So far I am getting away with the cost as its exercise, similar to going to the gym, which is expensive....... Right..... 

The games I have played so far the youngsters (teenagers) run off and are followed by the aged (avoided using mature and experienced) then stroll back past to respawn before I reach the front line. 

Will post a picture of the MP5 when it arrives, gone for a longer tight bore barrel so will be keeping the suppressor on when on the field to keep the inner barrel protected.

I honestly have no idea ?

Welcome.

I am lucky in that we have a gym at work; £168 per year!
