CrackCommandoUnit1972 Posted August 17, 2018 Posted August 17, 2018 Hello folks, 45 year old bloke here. Love the game and still think I can keep up with the young guys, until faced with stairs (god damn those stairs!) I just needing to know there are others out there like me, as my wife thinks it's odd for me to be running round pretending to be Peter Skellen.
Keldon Posted August 17, 2018 Posted August 17, 2018 I can assure you, you are not the oldest around here that likes to run around like Peter Skellen. Myself I'm only a few years behind you and am enjoying just starting in airsoft.

Folk do much weirder things on a weekend, like stabbing hooks into worms and fish, or screaming hysterically at 22 blokes kicking a piece of dead pig around. You're not on a rehearsal, and there's no do-over on life, so why waste precious moments in regrets, or caring about what folk think?
MisterG Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 Hello and welcome. Many regulars on this forum are older than you, myself included. Oldest is 70 AFAIK. Cheers G
Marc.RG1 Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 Welcome to the forum mate.. Although I don't run around no more I don't think I'll ever stop shooting one way or another but yeah we can assure you your not the oldest, in fact I know an 60+ year old that still skirmishes, he don't run around but that don't stop him having a great time.. Happy shooting. ATB Marc
CrackCommandoUnit1972 Posted August 18, 2018 Author Posted August 18, 2018 Cheers folks. We I'm 45 but can still do my own stunts. I will think about CGI when I need a hip and knee replacement.

To be honest I have seen people kicking arse in Airsoft in crutches or a wheelchair. The thing with projectiles is they do most of the moving for you!
Nick G Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 45 ? youngster ! I'm 50 and play in a group where we are all mid 40's to late 50's. Let the youngsters tear around like their hair is on fire, we 'proceed' at various speeds and just play to our strengths, its great and we all thoroughly enjoy ourselves . I honestly don't see age or even fitness level being an issue for anyone playing.
Supporters ImTriggerHappy Posted August 18, 2018 Supporters Posted August 18, 2018 While age will slow you down 45 is young enough for it not to have too much impact. Im 42 play CQB and keep up with pretty much anybody. Just play your own game at your own speed.
E21A Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 Our very own @gasman is over 60, and I can vouch for his effectiveness on the field.
