One thing you wish you knew coming into airsoft?

[RostokMcSpoons]

You need to be able to count correctly...

Actually use a gun before spending the same amount on "upgrades". Often you'll get bugger all improvements.

Decent fieldcraft will beat Gucci kit.

If you're going to send your gun away to a tech then do your research first. To many people call themselves a tech but don't know what they're doing.

Play your way. Just because someone else wants to play a certain way doesn't mean you have to.

Some folk take it just too seriously man!

This times a gazillion. There's always one idiot who thinks they're the lovechild of Jason Hayes and Captain Price, don't be that guy. If someone outsmarts you congratulate them rather than sulking, especially if they're a new player

Don't join any Facebook airsoft groups and ask for advice, it's filled with cunts 

Stay here, it's nicer

Are we going to compile these and make an AFUK cover version of this?

We are cunts too Jez.  Difference is we KNOW we are cunts.

Don’t waste money on sniper rifles. 

Hey! xD (I do agree on this for most people though)

My answer isn't helpful because I started a long time ago and haven't actually changed much. For me it's mostly just knowledge on manufacturers that would stop being available, like Tanaka Works and Western Arms. I wish I could've bought some of their stuff while it was still sold outside of Japan...

I think for actual useful stuff it'd be that modern kit =/= good kit. My US Vietnam belt kit is amazing, but it's very much an old design; not a strip of molle in sight!

Soldier 95 for me, although I do have a little of the 70's stuff around that I swear by

Same here along with a SADF M83 chest rig. It's probably almost as old as me but in far better condition

Use what works where and how you play.  My battle belt/webbing rig is a horrible mixed camo mutoid thing that works very well thanks.  It cost less than £20 and serves well for skirmishes and post apocalyptic games.

The solid no frills CYMAs and G&Gs do the same.  Keep it functional and simple is the essential thing.

I think in here, we all have the same percentage of “cuntyness” - so we pretty much all get along quite nicely ?

There's always A.R.A.B.S. on Facebook. Mostly very self aware cunts.

Mostly.

I found that group was one of the worst for it with members being the exact thing it was supposed to be against, especially when a certain person got into the admin and tried to make the whole thing about themselves

Ah yes, the great @everyone tag debacle!

I don't remember that, I'm guessing it was after I left. I went not long after they brought in the 1 out 1 in rule

Still got my patch somewhere

Yeah, it was a fairly recent straw that broke this particular camels back.

Neffgate was fun though
