Does he have anything to do with running the site or is he just a regular player? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stopping incidents like this is part of their job and if they witnessed it but did nothing then it's on them. As for the mortar, that's just a lawsuit waiting to happen. I just hope the owners see sense before it comes to that. If it did happen, why didn't the children's parent(s) intervene? I would have if someone had been screaming at my kids when they were young. 14 minutes ago, atacam said: Possibly.

Colin Allen Posted October 15 Author Share Posted October 15 Nothing that I have seen in this thread has caused me to question the review; neither has it, or anything that I have seen on FB, encouraged me to visit 501st Airsoft.

GiantKiwi Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 Given how diabolical the TLSFX one can be (Had a flying mortar'ed flashbang hit me in the head at one site in England), I definitely wouldn't be wanting to be downrange of a homebrew one. Word of mouth is still fairly prevalent, and all the locals dogpiling (which by the way, is now a criminal offence under the Online Safety Bill 2023) on a negative review just confirms that the site is best avoided.

LMKipper Posted October 16 Share Posted October 16 I've seen a few places allowing home made mortar tubes and honestly it gives me the chills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm torn, it's not far from me which is a definite plus, but I detest badly run sites, but now I wanna see how bad, if it is I'll rip the shit out of it & it's sycophantic fanbois 🤣 Cannonfodder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all wore DPM and '58 pattern, and used 'interesting' gnus. Not knowing the site we didn't do too well, but many laughs were had and I ate the biggest breakfast of my life so far in a B&B before the game. Had an interesting discussion on arthritis meds at lunchtime too. Memorable day. Even got to sample Milton Keynes roundabouts on the way home too.
