I've like just started and i was wondering if any of you nutters partake in it.

Not personally, although I know one or two that do :)

I'm an airsoft player. I haven't been out in a few months though. Just haven't been feeling it lately. I wish I had more money for it. Mainly for the more expensive milsims that I would like to go to.

With the UKARA thing as long as it's in a bag and you don't do dumb shit with it that could potentially get the riot cops kicking down your door, you'll be fine.

When I'm old enough I'm going to get my shotgun license. I've been skeet shooting for years and will probably continue it after uni.

17, eh? I have vague recollections of being 17..... :alcoholic:



Yup, I will. I'm aiming for a nice bolt action so I can get to range shooting again. Plus, it covers me for picking up a couple of C17 flintlock pistols :)

O2....... :laugh:

I have the O2 WiFi thing on my phone, but it never lets me connect to any websites whilst its on. So I have to turn off my WiFi and burn up my limited data.
Poor skills O2, poor fucking skills!

Honestly I can't see the appeal of Airsoft. If you want to Military experience join the military. I just would not be able to take an airsoft game seriously considering i've run into ACTUAL gunfire before. Not knocking you for wanting to give it a shot or even as another (expensive) hobby. Just not seeing the appeal of siming it when you can have the real thing. Guessing too many people thinks its like Live Action Call of Duty. Call of Duty LARPING ? you know what thats called? Field Exercises.

But seriously what is the appeal? can anyone care to explain?

I can't join the army because I have asthma.

As for the cod thing I guess it really depends on the age group you play with. You get the kids who just run around like nutters thinking it's like cod, similarly you get the milsim guys and gals who want to do as you said a field exercise.

For me the appeal is adrenaline and working as a team to complete a certain objective; hostage takeover, attrition warfare, etc.

The group I have played with are in the 17-30 age group and are pretty solid people.

I'm currently serving in the military, and have also served in Afghanistan.
But my impression is that you're not meant to take airsoft seriously, it's a game, like playing 40k. Obviously some guys do take it a bit seriously, but then some 40k guys have a tendency to disappear up their own @rse too.
My friends enjoy themselves immensely. They're playing a game not Walting. One of them is a Met police officer who has had his face caved in three times on duty and looks like he's french kissed a blender. He just likes to blow off some steam, and the way he prefers to do it is by shooting thousands of pellets at someone's face whilst charging around a home counties woodland.
Nothing wrong with that. :grin:

The one by the Lighthouse by any chance? I hate that place only because there's a particular point in the beach there where we would often do horrible phys of some kind. Silver Sands park or something?
Har! Silver Sands, that's the very one!

Me and my dad used to go sit up on one of the high dunes at the end of the runway and watch the fighters ripping in and out.
There was a bit - if I remember - further up where we sat and watched them shuffling about on the tarmac too :)

I have asthma on my medical file, and suffered with it as a (primary school) child. But the MO had no issue with that when I went for my medical as it hasn't affected me since I was about eight.

Give it a shot. You never know! :good:

I used to live in a cottage on the other side of Silver Sands in Covesea. It had an absolutely fantastic beach. In the summer, we used to walk the dog along the beach to Lossie and have a drink in one of the Pubs. I think it was called the Skerry Brae.
It's a great part of the world, I loved it there. One of my favourite tours so far.
