When it comes to new RIFs or accessories/parts is the second hand market an indicator if it’s any good

That site owner sounds like a massive cunt with insecurities he needs to get over. Site owners don't have to be best mates with everyone of their customers but to openly slag them off to other customers is just wrong. I'd be looking at playing elsewhere.

Over the past few years those with more extreme political views have become more confident in sharing those views with anyone within ear shot. This goes for life in general, not just airsoft.

When it comes to allowing certain loadouts this is a tricky one. While I'm not a fan of banning things to prevent hurt feelings I can understand why some people might be unhappy with some loadouts. I'd also question the motives of anyone deliberately wearing a controversial loadout as in my experience they're only doing it for a reaction

Obviously everybody is different but as somebody who has many a time wore a “controversial loadout” it hasn’t been to get a reaction.

A vast majority of my younger airsofting days I could be found attending walk on skirmishes with a WW2 Heer impression kit (Always asked site owners before attending in it of course). It was my reenactment kit and I had the airsoft pews to match, the vast majority of people showed curiosity and interest. Obviously some people had issue but that’s life.

Nowadays (And for the past sort of 5/6 years) I’ve primarily ran modern RUSFOR kits and again that wasn’t for a reaction - I like the weapons and the kit. Obviously during the “special military operation” I was hesitant to wear it but most people have again not had an issue.

That’s not to say that people don’t wear WW2 Jerry kit for the wrong reasons but you’ll also find modern day Nazis in multicam too

Don't get me wrong a well put together German ww2 loadout can look great, my comment about wanting a reaction was about those would would deliberately choose to portray waffen ss over a regular army unit
