It's the Northwold site of Combat Airsoft near to where in based at Honington. Small place, originally setup for paintball so it's not entirely ideal for airsoft but a few of the guys I work with go along every now and again to skirmish with the local regulars/

I got hit from close range between my half-face and goggles:

... it bled like fcuk! It's left a scar too - I'm so hard ppl, I bleed for the sport and like it! All I need now is to regrow that beard, spill a fair bit of soup in it, and hone the resulting epic rhino-stylee chin horn to a point. Then I'll piss on everyone else's movember attempts and need a gold medallion - I'll be that manly!

The Daily Fail

 

BLOOD

AT SKIRMISH

AGAIN!

imag0946.jpg

By Fir Corf-Frinner

A young man was shot brutally in the face at Skirmish Airsoft Mansfield yesterday. For a fringe group of disturbed individuals, many of them former service men and women who may be suffering from post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), this is evidence of sport well played, but for many and a growing number of government ministers, sources close to Downing Street say, this young man, Daniel Hoxton, 24, of Harrogate, Yorkshire (pictured above) is a victim of brain washing. Confidential sources have told The Fail that top Downing Street advisers are currently liasing with high ranking police and the security services over concerns arising from the militaristic nature of the so-called sport and a real potential for domestic terrorism.

Andrew Wullo-Veraes, government serious crime spokes-person, said this morning that young and vulnerable people have been drawn to this dangerous activity through the internet. "Just as we do with peadophiles, as people would expect the government to do when middle aged men are involved with youngsters, we are also calling on the police to investigate allegations that airsofting and most especially the internet sites that these sorts of people run can be used for grooming young people," Mr. Wullo-Veraes told our reporters in response to probing questions about the Hoxton affair. He added that vulnerable young men and women are easily 'hypnotised by the glamour of guns and violence' and it is once they are hooked, just like a drug addict, they can be 'forced to perform tasks which they would not otherwise ever dream of.'

The Fail has also discovered that Hoxton, although a Yorkshire lad born and bread, divides his time between the UK and Switzerland. It is possible that he was spotted by asylum seekers during his recent home journey and his injury engineered by them and their cohorts, many of them illegally here on the streets of Britain. "If young Danny's injury causes the government to clamp down on such a murky pool of evil, then for once we will have something to thank asylum seekers for," added Dick Small of Injunct, the centre-right think tank which specialises in crime and immigration policy.

There is always someone with a camera on site and so i just ask where they are posting them. The site i play at has a web site where players post their stuff.

I dont think my site has anything like that. I will give a camera to the marshalls and ask them to take pictures :)

 

If you still want to come and check Skirmish out, then they almost always have a photographer on site. Photos get posted to their Facebook page at the end of every day. Bit further for you to drive but the site's great.

 

In all likelihood me and Ian_Gere will be there too, so we can have a mini AF-UK team :P

Lol Craig! Yeah iAcorn, pm me if you're planning to come visit. Perhaps you, Ed, and I can contrive to look cool in an action pic together :wacko::lol: as opposed to that crouching run which when captured in profile without motion blur looks like you've just been unexpectedly hit with the shits...

I will probably do some touring of other sites when my fitness increases (as you could tell from my video, I get out of breath easy). I would love to come up sooner though but its a 2 hour drive (at least) and I dont do very well getting up early in the mornings. Seriously it almost kills me as I dont get a lot of sleep most of the time. But it shall happen one day! :)
