Yup... Trust me.. I should stop... but so much toys.. 

 

Will it ever end.... 

 

Oohhhh more shiny stuff.... Now where di I put my wallet? 🤔

Ah, its too late for you then.

No, it will never end and then you'll start tinkering with the internals to 'improve' them 😏

 

I take it since you didn't know what to expect, you didn't look up any videos of airsoft?

Would be worth reading lots on the forum to catch up on things 👍

Greetings there’s a few of us geriatric old squaddies on here (I’m ex-scab lifter) you’ll soon spot the rest , they’ll be the REALLY grumpy feckers !

How was Anzio? We are looking to visit there in the near future.

 

Me and my mate attended one of Saturday open days at Anzio last week (18/09), and it was a glorious day for airsoft weather-wise.

 

Good opportunity for sneaky approaches and satisfying tactics. One dude pissed a lot of people off by being a power player, but aside from that and three pillocks with hot guns everything was smooth sailing.

 

Surprisingly, FAO tries to to make games interesting by putting players out of their comfort zones and despite still being a typical skirmish day, it was good. Good flow, good timing, and decent player base. Nothing to complain, maybe aside from the day being too short. I’m starved for more, but can’t play until November 😏

Well... seeing it was my first session... really good. Mixture of open and CQB..  Took a round in the face from some good sniper.. Drew blood.... Then it all went south from there 😈 revenge was sought and dished out!

 

Honestly really big site lots of buildings to clear.. Loved it... was absolutely knackered at the end of the day... :)
