    Another old airsofter, back at the game!

    Welcome back! I've been to the Epsom tunnels a few times over the past few years - a blend of really great evenings there, and really bad evenings - with nothing really in between - a bit of a haphazard set up I suppose, with the attention of the staffing not really helping to maintain a...

    The 'How Did Your Airsoft Day Go? Thread

    100% - fewer people (to a point) are much better days. Case in point- driver wood had 120 players yesterday morning. Very congested game play, despite such a big playing area, and became attritional to the point that my choice of weaponry for the first game- 1j Kar 98 was a very significant...

    Question about AAP01 barrel lengths

    I have put a 200mm in a tti kit before, but that took it up to dmr levels of power. I currently have a 150/160mm barrel in one, that I need to run on 85psi with hpa to stick at 1.1j. It cycles fine at that power. If you are wishing to run it on green gas, you may find that you could be a little...

    Gun picture thread

    There is also a free diemaco/c7 butt pad 3d printing file available on the net. I printed one in TPU, smoothed it with sand paper, and then gave it a quick gentle blast with the heat gun, and it looks+works fantastically.

    The 'What have you just bought' Thread

    I have a bottle of pure ethanol that I bought off ebay years ago that i use for those tasks. works well to dissolve sticky residue.

    Nuprol mesh goggles

    They are absolutely fine safety wise - I've been wearing them for years, and they are pretty much a staple for many of the players at the sites I visit. Shot multiple times on them, never a problem. Once they get a bit too dented, for good measure I replace for a new pair - usually after 10 or...

    Recs for AAP01 HPA

    The airtac adapters work well, and if you are dead set on running it HPA, i would recommend their shotshell adapter. But really, if it is only to be run as a secondary, I'm really not sure what the benefits of HPA'ing it would be. The AAP runs better than most as a year round secondary on green...

    The 'How Did Your Airsoft Day Go? Thread

    Cracking day on Saturday at Battle Lakes, really good fun. Quite a big crowd in, and the rolling storylined game play of the DEA Vs Cartel theme worked excellently. Marshall's/team leaders had a few side quests up their sleeves to send teams off on in order to keep the play fluid and...

    Night Games

    Our local site has a no nods rule for night games too - I believe the thinking is that allowing NODs makes it a pay to win type scenario, and no fun for the paying customers who don't have the cash to splash on a good set of NV or thermal. They haven’t always had the rule, but it was instigated...

    Site review sub section?

    I used your old reviews quite extensively a few years back when I was starting out - very helpful (and appreciated!)

    Sites with overnight camping?

    Might be worth trying Battle Lakes for this. They offer free camping - not sure whether that’s the night before as well, but i suspect they can be flexible. Last time I went, there was a guy who had travelled from Derby, and I'm sure he didn't travel down before morning Chrono! Edited to say...

    The Siege Project New Ownership

    100% that was my experience too, but with one 'player marshal', who on the last occasion I went was the one person that the opposite team consistently complained of not taking their hits.... As I said though, I've maybe been there for 5 or 6 evenings over the years, with maybe a 60:40 split of...

    The Siege Project New Ownership

    I completely agree - its such a nuisance to get the 'time off' to play airsoft - whether that is from work or the family, that it becomes very important to actually be playing airsoft rather than lounging in the safe zone. Sites that seem to make a strong effort to get players ready on time...

    The 'How Did Your Airsoft Day Go? Thread

    Great morning yesterday at Driver Wood, and has the pleasure of meeting @Impulse - I heard a tall bloke talking about his Tanaka in the Chrono queue and put two and two together... I finally managed to field the Stoner 96 LMG- over 8 months since buying it from new- it previously having endless...

    The 'What have you just bought' Thread

    Coincidentally, I spotted an original for sale this afternoon in a flea store in Talinn, Estonia.

    Am I too old? Too disabled?

    Good luck! Treat it as a laugh, and don't be afraid to get hit lots - just get stuck in, and you will have a lot of fun.
