Apparently they needed somewhere in Wales to train these guys:

I'd quite like to check the Bristol softin an ting. I used to live there in the mid 90's and I've seen the interior of New Bridewell St nick several times. It would be great to go back and skirmish the place, especially if any of the regulars turn up in UK Police loadouts! Having said that, unless their 328FPS limit includes the standard +5%, my only option will be my Skorpion AEP and by May even that may be touch and go... There doesn't seem to be any easy way to fit a trip to Bristol Airsoft CQB and Spartan woodland into the same normal weekend trip either...

Site is very strict on the limits, sometimes they even dust off the chrono and actually bother to check :)

It's not actually the police station, although the police station is just the other side of a locked door downstairs, its the old magistrates court.

I bet if we got a few of us together we could get Bristol Airsoft to open on a Saturday for us and then do Spartan or Black ops on the Sunday.

TBH though I was looking forward to a weekend away so staying in Bristol doesn't appeal much.

It occurs to me that the ww2 intro event is between Portsmouth and Brighton, a trip to Combat South would be possible on the Sunday (or Combat south Urban). Would make a very different mix of airsofting for a weekender :)

 
Yeah, I know that locked gate - the Dickensian stylee arched tunnel with the bars floor to roof and a wicket gate let in them. Passed though it a number of times :lol: I feel like singing... sod it, you'll just have to imagine that it's me:

I spose a south coast jaunt isn't beyond all rhyme or reason. It'd probably be less expensive than getting from Nottingham to Ringwood for NAE12 on public transport and I managed that. It would depend on camping being cheap/free mind, because transport, travelling food, walk on fees and a sten will add up...

 
But you want an excuse for a Sten though :P

Or they will allow a modern gun covered in hessian. Actually I'm surprised you aren't after a PPSH with your love of all things Russian :)

 
Don't even go there, mate! How much do I want a PPSh41...!?!

Back in the mid 90's I almost bought a deac one just to hang on the wall! Actually, thinking about it, that was in Bristol. The shop used to be across the road from the top of Christmas Steps iirc. TBF, given everything else that was going on at that time in my life, it's just as well that I didn't :lol:

On the original note, I decided to get a refund. I can do with that money right now and they can have it back off me whenever they get a firm idea when they can go ahead again.

Edit: Funnily enough, I have just bought some hessian sacks, because I couldn't get just 1, to make a cover for my SSh68 helmet. So I have some for sale, btw.

So I better not link this then: http://www.airsoftworld.net/hexagon-ppsh-41-mk-ii-airsoft-aeg-in-stock.html

and should certainly not show you the video review: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xbuhec_review-hexagon-production-hp-ppsh-4_sport

or theres this one: http://www.zerooneairsoft.com/product_info.php?products_id=6767

TBH I just think that you would probably prefer a ppsh as you probably have stuff that would pass for WW2 Russian uniform. Just sell your furniture, according to the video you can use the PPSH as a seat :D

You're an arse!

My furniture isn't worth £300. I really hate most furniture: there's just no real thought gone into most of it but, in the absence of brilliance technically, I'd be happy to go with expression, not so much of an artwork that its function is overly compromised, but nonetheless something which says more than, "I don't want all my stuff on the floor." These days I can't afford what I would choose, but I do need objets de fonction, so I refuse to spend money on franchise store bollocks when 2nd hand bollocks will do the job just as well and offend me no more and no less.

 
I might start a new thread regarding a meet up. A lot of people won't read this thread but may be up for a meet up weekend.

 
Hopefully by now you will have all seen the email or read the pinned post regarding being bumped from Sennybridge:

Ladies and Gents we now have the re-scheduled dates for this event, now re-located back to what will be a newly refurbished and updated Copehill Down. Dates will be 22-24 August

 
I was just thinking FFS I cancelled my ticket after the move to Sennybridge and Copehill is much better so I would be able to make it. But I realised it's the bank holiday weekend so I'll be going to GZ this year.

Never mind.

 
Ahh, I'll be in Turkey then. Guess the map won't be needed anymore. What are the dates for GZ?

 
Yeah, I'll be at GZ too. Not a good date to have picked really. You know, going up against Europe's biggest airsoft event and all... :blink: :wacko: :angry:

 
I'd have thought it was the date they were given, not one they picked. At a guess they wanted to run the event ASAP so as not to mess everyone around too much?
