Jeeze. I just come in from work and expected 1 or 2 replies. Looks like the mall is the place to go. I had heard that it’s not the best place to start for a newbie but looks like a few of you guys are willing to take a couple of newbies under your wing. I will sort out a date with my friend and see when we can both make it. I work late sometimes but I’m getting the feeling a Thursday might be a good shout for a couple of beginners. Don’t want to walk out looking like a cheese grater. What are most of you guys wearing for eye pro. I thought the full on ski goggles was the best way to go but 90% of the videos I have seen are of the sunglass type. Don’t mind buying these prior to going as may still have previous occupants sweat on the rental protection

To be honest the Sunday is the better day for new players as it is a more varied skill level. Although to be honest there are not really any players who go there who are exactly superstars.

 

I would recommend using the rental gear as contrary to popular belief not everyone enjoys it and then at least you haven't wasted cash It is cleaned so you won't catch anything. It is always best to get a game or two to see what suits you as we are all different and every recommendation is biased by our personal choices.

 

Post up when down and I will do my best to make it and then you will get the pleasure of me giving you the new visitor tour.

Buy a Dye I4 and never look back.

I may do that for CQB if I fog up badly. Although then again, a solid mask will make me feel safer for CQB.

If I am there that day it will most likely be me showing the first timers the layout.

I will have a full face mesh mask on site if you want to use it.

Oh no I wont need a mask or anything. I may have bought the I4 by the time I get to the mall lol.

Gonna be March maybe even April so plenty of time for me to make a choice lol.

By the sounds of it though, a cleaning cloth wont be a bad choice to take if you hire the mask and kit! lol.

No they clean the gear after use he will be ok.

 

The fact you are a regular makes that a trust worthy thing I guess, I know some sites don't clean stuff properly!

That is the best sort of gear for the mall, minimalist and simple. Speed and aggression usually wins the day in there.

 

Honestly is for the mall..

What the ones who need to carry a backpack for a 45 minute game. Then get all irate when the quicker more mobile players roll over them. 

 

As much as I like airsoft and have met some 1st class people I do sometimes look round a safezone and just have to shake my head. 

 

You will have to come join me on a Sunday and experience the mall at full tilt.

The ones that NEED to carry back pack with full ration because the probably be camping so might as well start eating and drinking during intense games... plus radios and gps radar equipment because they need to be in communication with there noob soldier friends who also carry the same equipments too lol

We can get our wives to hang out with one another on a Sunday.

 

Job done.

 

Haha can just imagine my wife agreeing to that. She hates anything to do with airsoft and thinks its on a level of sadness equal to those grown men who play with Barbies or dress up as babies.

First bit... she doesn't know the fun she is missing out on... actually take that back, DO NOT GET THE MRS INVOLVED WITH AIRSOFT (tip given to me by staff at defcon airsoft)... Once she gets involved she knows how much everything costs lol. 

 

and second bit... Why? I'm antisocial beyond belief and I will quite happily sit in silence and hide from any person who even looks at me, so we can just hide at opposite ends of the map and not speak to anyone lol.

LOL can relate

 

"you spend more time playing with your guns than you spend time chilling with me" she says...

 

"are you on that forum again?"

 

"a parcel arrived, did you buy a gun again?"

 

I can literally go carry on lol so i bought her a gun (CA M4 pistol) but until she finds the right "army style" outfit (because she has to look good for pictures) she won't come to an event LOL :wacko::blink:

Mate if my missus took up airsoft I would quit. Airsoft is the only way I can escape.

 

As for meet ups there has already been 3 and just remembering the headache gives me a new one.

oh my god that was funny to read... joys of being single I guess lol.
 

And ah, I see, I thought it was more about being shy, guess it's more about how people are a pain to organise lol.
