Hi 

I work for a large airsoft company in the UK and I am interested in what airsofters want out of airsoft. I am not just looking for specific guns people want to see but more on what activities and events you would be interested in. It can be themes, gadgets, facilities, videos, and much more. I want your opinions on anything you have ever wondered or thought about doing within the world of airsoft. I do not wish to disclose what airsoft company I work for and would prefer to just hear what your ideas are. This is not a money making scheme I am just interested to see if there is anything this community would like that could improve their performance and grow the sport with ideas and innovations. This is open to all and allows other to see the ideas and develop them and not just a company taking ideas to make a quick buck.

Thank you

 
I want Angela Scanlon to deliver my next RIF purchases on a silver platter with her Irish charm. I want Sydney Sweeney to do my chrono tests and only mine at each skirmish I go to.

In all seriousness, if you won't disclose who you work for or what you're getting out of what half-reads like a Chat GPT response, I don't think you should be surprised if there are sarcastic or suspicious replies.

What is a "large airsoft company"? A site manager? A retailer? A distributor/reseller?

What do you get out of this?

 
I kinda agree with the above, but... on a serious-ish note, the only influence I imagine any "large airsoft company in the UK" could offer me as a consumer is a better variety of non AR or AK based rif's. I could easily be wrong here but as a fat balding 57 yr old with some disposable income & an interest in UK/NATO Cold War era kit I'm paying through the nose for surplus gear from abroad as the UK distributers constantly have kit listed but, out of stock when I want to empty my wallet.
BB's are expensive but plentiful

Gas is expensive but plentiful

Rif's are expensive but I understand why stock may take longer to obtain by companies as stocking inventory ain't cheap

Some rifs are harder to find in the UK but plentiful in the asian markets(for obvious reasons), & for us in the UK there are many hurdles our imports have to leap before they are finally delivered to our doors & constantly hoping all the t's were crossed & i's dotted between HK/Taiwan and No5 Hopeful Crescent.

Our laws are tight in the UK & rightly so, I just wish some unobtainium rif's could be bought from within the UK (or from 'our European warehouse').

On a personal note... more Uzi's, more L1A1's (especially with wooden furniture), more GPMG's, more Sterlings etc. I'll be visiting Raresoft asap due to their selection of items.

All you have to do is visit the 'What have you just bought' section to see what members of this forum want from retailers in the UK.

 
Some people want themes, some want gadgets, some want a basic shoot out, some want to sneak about, some want to gain kill points, some capture points, some find random parts to compile as a super weapon, some want that super weapon to actually function

Some want to dress up, some count the stitches, some throw on some surplus, some wear jeans & a t shirt

Some want to spend four hours crawling to a bush, then hide in it until the whistle blows

Some want to run around the woods, some want to rope into a warehouse, some want to sneak around the back service corridors of a shopping centre 

You would think that the common factor is to go out and shoot people, but some people just want to hang around for a chat and tweak guns 

 
@Airsoft_Ginie, sorry, don't believe a word of it, without context, the "large airsoft company" you supposedly work for will either supply products as a wholesaler/retailer, or gameday services as a site, but your post alludes to "everything airsoft" being something you have the potential to supply or fix ?.

I call bullshit on your post?

Wow, I have no imagination ?

 
Sharks with lazor beams, and tanks with little balloons attached to simulate javelin strikes.

Must be SAS (Special Airsoft Services) then, if you're not allowed to tell us. ?

Please understand that we get posts like this regularly, and they generally turn out to be from dreamers and/or students.  We generally just have a laugh with them, until evidence of ability to deliver is produced.

If you can't be open and honest with us from the start then why should we trust you or pay attention to a word you post? As @Rogerborg posted we get posts like this regularly and 99.9% of the time bugger all comes of their plans to revolutionise the hobby.

From this I guess you're part of a site. In that case what I want is marshals who know what they're doing (especially when it comes to chronoing) and actually want to do the job rather than stand around on their phone.

Edit: a quick search for airsoft genie brings up genie stuff airsoft uk. A shop who's website is dead and from what I can see on pinterest they specialise in 2 tones and mostly sell cheap crap. @Airsoft_Ginie iscthat you?
