What are you looking for in Airsoft?

[Rogerborg]

Not been to copehill down?

Not been to Copehill Down.

400 miles away, I'd like more of the same, closer.  A borg can dream.

 

[Tackle]

+1 to more sites featuring an Old Abandoned $STRUCTURE.

Watching continental airsoft video featuring mansions, bunkers, prisons and in one case an entire village built for the military to do urban training gets me right in the jealousy gland.

you'd love Rype village, its got the lot, AND its only 4 miles from me........unfortunately nobody's been able to secure an event there for bloody ages which is really pissing me off?

If I come the first 464 miles, can you give me a lift for the last 4?

And I doubt anyone will for the foreseeable future. The last legion game landmark approved its use but the base commander didn’t and flipped his lid when he found out only after people being there all day. Something about letting the public on a training site while active soldiers are ok duty/could be doing training exercises or something like that...

Can’t remember the others off the top of my head we can still get on

Someone to buy RAF Scampton and turn that into a site.

Yeah but I can't just fall out of bed in to those lol?

Rype, or any other of the local mod sites haven't been helped by the "new" landmarc boss in this region, he had an issue with one game organiser & since then has shown a pathological dislike of all things Airsoft , ramping prices unrealistically high etc.

 

[Keldon]

Sennybridge anyone? ?

Have many a memory of Sennybridge but you also got stanta too many memories of there too. 

 

[Aengus]

Youths coming into the sport ?

 

[Albiscuit]

Standardised rules and expectations. 

If every site or at least a group of sites all had the same rules/briefs and limits etc it would mean less time standing around for safety briefs if you are a regular player (maybe on your third visit you no longer have to listen or something? Just a leaflet with “don’t be a dick” on it?) 

less time wasted between games. On site at 8am, first game at 10, finish at 4. Hour for lunch and half hour between games = less fucking time playing and I paid for the day!!

The mall had it about right with quick turn arounds and not a lot of wasted time.

i like the idea of a equal playing field, guns vein the same FPS/rof etc but people love to tinker and that would be a step backwards so won’t happen. A possibility for tournaments or such though..

More options for sites with different game types would also be nice 

 

[Immortal]

An affordable bio shell ejecting ammo system in rifs. A fire and forget affordability. It would be cool to see those casings flying out and know you don't need to pick them all up. I see them as similar to dan wesson style shells perhaps in different cals to mimic real world rounds but still loaded with 6mm with the casing made of a cellulose. That would be a step up.

I know this kinda sytem exists in paintball (0.45 balls) but it's not bio casings, affordable and it's, meh,  paintball not airsoft. lol  

I'm assuming aerodynamic shaped rounds that work with rifled barrels is probably a push too far...

 

[Asomodai]

Controversial. But I want to see a well implemented Airsofter License. No idea how one would get it, but it would legitimise the sport whilst hopefully keeping out the idiots. It would also mean I can take my stuff on public transport and having something to show the police if they decided to stop me on the underground. 

Decent Bio BBs every bit as good as the non bios and are mandatory on all outdoor sites. 

Moar bullpups.

Licences don't stop idiots. They just generate money.

Keep out "Casual" idiots then

A good time out.

All the fun of practical firearms days, without the bullshit, mean instructors and painful simunition.
Also, a social time. I want to meet people, make friends (cue inbetweeners FRIENDS double thumbs up) - I work freelance and live in the arse end of rural nowhere. I can go a week without seeing another human being except for the shop and the offy. I'd like to just do something where I can meet someone to go for pint with some time.

 

[Shizbazki]

What i would like to see more of or added to Airsoft:

Real Working Toilets (men and women of course) - with paper, doors, flushing loo. I dont mean Buckingham Palace thrones just something clean to do the deed

Better designed retail websites with better filters - EhobbyAsia had it just about right, then they overhauled their website and broke it all, probably LWA, Evike or Zero1 have it closest now

More varied and in stock products - how often do you come across "Out of Stock".

Seating/setting up areas to be covered or sheltered from the elements, and better flooring whilst they are at it

Less Chinese replica/clone tat - for clothing and accessories

More sites but better quality - too many sites are just woodland with a bit of crappy structures, literally i could cut and paste Dragons Lair into Billericay Airsoft and its just the same place, different staff. 

Need more CQB sites near me - its not like frikking LONDON has no buildings, heck we have tons of abandoned factories, warehouses, hospitals etc cant we play in those before they are turned into (UN)affordable luxury flats?

Less hate for HPA - too many people hate on it and those who use it, ok you dont like the line fine, i dont mind it so stop giving me dirties. Not every HPA user (i for one) puts their Polarstar powered gun at 600FPS at 500RPS, there are more responsible HPA users than abusers.

Have you tried dating? ?

you'd think so, but recently I've seen Met sc019/ctsfo's using a recently closed hospital near me (St Saviors, Hythe, Kent), & that's nearly 80 miles from London.

Very much this /\

Not this though ?

On the above - as a marshal I would like to see players that turn up on time for the brief, chrono, game start, game brief etc etc...

All too often there is a group of players that are late to everything slowing down the day for everyone else unfortunately the group changes throughout the day so its not as simple as saying they have to sit out as you have to give people fair warning/benefit of the doubt, also players having the decency to keep quiet while games are explained you may have played a game before but not everyone else has and its funny its always the regulars that 5 minutes into a game have to ask what we are doing where we have changed it slightly to keep things fresh.

Been to too many games where people know the main safety brief is at say 10 and the chrono closes at 9:50. if you cant be up on time to get to a site for between 8-9 to make sure you are chrono'd in time I do wonder how you would survive in the real world with a job that requires you to turn up on time. Being late for one thing has a knock on effect for the rest of the day and not just for yourself but for everyone else to differing levels.

 

[Tackle]

Watch some of those latecomers, there was a team, formed & led by a mouthy Aussie bird, who always arrive late, literally during game play, so missing chrono's, one day myself & another Marshall pounced on them, everyone failed the chrono, but what a surprise they all had a lower fps gun back in the car.
