Enid_Puceflange Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Hi, been lurking for a couple of weeks now got my first game tomorrow at Edinburgh Skirmish walk on and looking forward to it played paintball since I was 17 ( so that’s 28 years) but had a break for a good while really excited as going along with an old friend who is well established in the hobby, and I know the inevitable will happen (this is going to cost me £thousands 🤫) so , first post , be gentle with me , hi!! 👋 Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be a refugee from Nomad soon so if you happen to play at Section 8 or the Scottish Airsoft Centre, reviews would be appreciated. 8 hours ago, Enid_Puceflange said: this is going to cost me £thousands Not necessarily.

Duff Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 I've met a few ex paintballers who moved to airsoft. Feels good being a real man doesn't it? 🤑 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neat, thanks. I'm particularly interested in how the games are run and how much time is spent slogging across the site as opposed to pewing.

Arwen Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Welcome! Glad you enjoyed it! I'd like some reviews of Section 8 too, so far the ones I've heard have been rather mixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters Rogerborg Posted July 4, 2018 Supporters Share Posted July 4, 2018 I can see why speedsofters use pistols for point blank pewing, but even in an indoors CQB site I rarely switch to mine. It is a laugh though, and a good way to end a long day to just ditch everything and throw some mags in your pocket.

It's actually rather heartening to hear that's being enforced in practice, I'd count that as a positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to "abandon" the aeg when I'm going into tight places (narrow corridors, stair well etc. ) Pistols are just so much easier to manage in confined spaces. However if I'm using the wasp, it's tiny anyways so no real advantage to swapping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to go overboard because as mentioned you tend to only use a sidearm if you set out to try and use it if that makes sense. That said you may use it, love it and end up just using that haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
