r1flyguy Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 (edited) Hi All I don’t choose forums likely but this one seems full to the rafters of good info & great knowledgeable members in the limited time I’ve browsed. Ive done paintball and always visit the shooting ranges in the states when I’m there on hol’s but airsoft is about as close as I’ll ever get to owning a proper looking firearm & damn do some of them look fantastic. Thats not the only reason I’m here. im trying to find hobbies that my son and I can do together and we both liked the thought of airsoft so we took the plunge only 3 weeks ago to join the local venue which some on here may visit/know as I’ve read a previous post on it. My son. & I have played 2 games so far at wmairsoft in Rowley Regis, with a 3rd booked for his birthday in a couple of weeks. I was actually brought up in the area so know the location well. And yes, I’ve splurged on some items purely for the looks and the fact I’m a huge SG1 fan, so yes, I bought a P90 amongst 3 other airsoft guns we now have. 1st game day was great, very even, great banter, the usual moans of not taking hits but a great day nonetheless. the 2nd game day we were dominated by the other team who were blatantly not taking the hits 🤣🤣but… it’s just a game and it gives me and my son good time together in great sociable surroundings. Anyways, I’m Redditch based, Gary is my name, r1flyguy, is a forum name I’ve used since 2002 so it’s just stuck and I look forward to the wealth of knowledge you guys/girls have to point me in the right direction when I need it.

Emergencychimps Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Welcome to the forum! Lots of knowledgeable people on here, so I am sure you'll get some info that's useful. My general advice to new players is to not spend too much money now, wait, do 4-5 games. There are bits of airsoft that are awesome, some bits that are a bit.....meh. Some people can handle the meh bits while others can't. Lots of people start airsoft, only a few carry it on for years, so hold back on your spending as much as you can for the moment. If you're still loving it in 4 games time, then yeah, spend and buy good stuff. It'll also give you an idea of what you'd like and you'll see what other players use, start with and then quickly get rid off. I'll also challenge your view on having real firearms, you can get firearms in the UK, you need to have a reason (such as a member of a shooting club) and jump through a few hoops (letter from a doctor, people who will be a reference, criminal background check and a chat with a copper) but it's all very doable. UKPSA and Practical mini rifle/shotgun/pistol are becoming bigger in the sport with lots of opportunity for fun, in addition, longer ranges/bigger calibres are available in restricted formats, but there are a lot of interesting options. I love seeing father and son combos on game days, seen some really great bonding with some fun father/son time away from screens and nonsense. Looking forward to taking my kids one day. Don't be shy, use the search function but do ask any questions you have. r1flyguy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen the leg holster/lock advertised but as I’d like it to be my main weapon of choice a sling would be better. I have also seen the small metal front sling plate attachment but think the £15 advertised price is taking the pish!!!!! 🤪 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galvatron Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Welcome! Glad to see another P90 user. It was both GoldenEye 007 and SG1 that persuaded me to buy into that airsoft platform. 😁 r1flyguy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved using the P90 in Call of Duty games, maybe one day I will get one for Airsoft I unboxed mine but have yet to put any bb’s thought it as do not have a battery. A quick googly search had a few sites selling them, they aren’t cheap!! However one site had them in ‘sale’ so purchased 2, a mag holder and a few other items. I hadn’t had a receipt as such via email on checkout so I was a little concerned and googlyed the company to find it doesn’t have a great reputation on here 🤣. Anyhow I dropped them a polite email and they replied very quickly apologising for the lack of email receipt and informed me the items were being shipped out. The timeframe is not huge so I’m not concerned as yet. 14 hours ago, ButcherBill said: Got mine on Fleabay, made of genuine chinesium, costing a whopping £13.19 is it the one that looks like a ‘cross your heart bra’ (Doubt your old enough to remember those adverts 🤣🤣) with a dangly piece in the centre Crude description but it’s the best I could come up with 🤪 Rogerborg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Allen Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Another P90 user is always welcome. Which make did you get? The Perun P90 Mosfet completely transforms the performance and is pretty straightforward to install. 1 hour ago, ButcherBill said: Au contraire, I'm a 57yr old bald bloke & fat enough to need one.

I purchased the Tokyo Marui P90, appreciate some of the reviews of the mags being a big issue but I’ve yet to experience using it as awaiting for the batteries to turn up. I have now added the Perun P90 mosfet to my eBay watchlist 😁 is £99 the average price for this upgrade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
