Hi Cro, just looked at the bristol airsoft site. They said single shot and semi auto only. So I guess that means no grenade launchers or shotguns that shoot three pellets.
Can you still take a select fire in and say I will not shoot full auto.
Oh, that's an ace site. Just be aware that CQB is intense compared to woodland., with a faster pace and stingier hits.
Yes, you'd be fine with select fire. I'd also
expect them to be fine with tri-shot shotguns - but would verify that - and those can actually be effective in CQB, since it can come down to reaction time.
"Green gas" pistols are also usable and great fun, but then you're looking at buying extra magazines and gas. Electric pistols are usable, but insipid and have a poor trigger response. Most gas (or electric) pistols will come in under their 1.07J / 340fps on 0.2g limit, but I'd stay away from CO2 as they can come in much hotter, and can also rack up quite the cost in CO2 bulbs.
Likewise, tri-shots will come in lower (they may not even bother chronoing them), and most (but not all) AEGs that you're likely to buy in the UK should be under that limit. Although with some sites allowing up to 1.2J (360fps on 0.2g) it's not guaranteed, especially on a used purchase which is always a gamble.
I notice that they require full seal eye protection, so no DIY glasses held on with a rubber band.
And given that it's £30 for an evening game rental package that includes unlimited ammo, and rental of a carbine (and support for it) and a full face mask, I'd again point at that as the best and cheapest route to try it out. It'll give you an opportunity to see (and feel) if you enjoy it, and to check out what everyone else is using. You won't be outgunned or have any worries about failing chrono or running into technical issues with a used purchase.
