i'll stick to airsoft. Paintballing is so shit they need to use tanks to spruce it up

There are loads of wargames in South England that are amazing

Actually going somewhere on Sunday will post details in a bit

 

[Gamah]

Sparx can I come ?

 

[Sparx]

you an airsofter? i think there is around 9 of us going now

Nope, been paintballing though, wouldn't mind having a go at airsoft..hurts a lot more though?

 

[Sparx]

not really paintballing leaves painful bruises. Airsoft is more tactical nips a little when you get hit but apart from that its all good

 

[evzy]

Hmmm what is this airsoft you speak of?

Been paintballing once - was ace - sat in a bush randomly headshotting people who I didnt like the look of..and stewards.

I shot a steward once, he unloded on me with an automatic paintbull gun..very painfull

 

[evzy]

Thats why you should hide in the bushes where they can't see you..

Whole day paintballing got hit on the arm twice and that was it...granted though I think I got lucky...

 

[Sparx]

airsoft is like paintballing only you use BBs (ballbearings) and the weapons are realistic to the point you could walk into a bank and either walk out with money or get shot

There are alot of ex soldiers playing it. More tactics and generally a more serious sport

 

[evzy]

Ah cool..as close to bullets as I could get without getting arrested

Do they pierce the skin ever?

 

[Sparx]

have done on me when i got shot in the face, but the adrenalin stops the pain

it depends on if ppl are using illegal weapons (meaning weapons too powerful for that game)

Usual rule is weapons that fire 328 FPS (Feet per second) but some ppl play with near 400 FPS and they hurt

Had a mate who used to work at a paintball place near Newcastle as a steward, the stewards there used to freeze the paintballs, hurt like buggery.

do you always have to set it up yourself like get 30people to go or are there like set days on some where other people turn up too? from what i seen on the ones that are around here you have to buy all the tickets then sell em to your mates bit silly imo

all the ones near me have events where you turn up,
anything in between you need to bring 20+ with you

ah cool, good to know..it always put me off the way they done it around here, specially after some bloke at work bought a day and from what i saw no one bought tickets from him..and there was no refunds ;s but guess you can get it back with a bit of lawfullness

 

[Coolan]

the sites i use, u just pay for yourself, tbh if you dont book early enough you tend to find the sites filled up pretty quick

[Sparx]

nah you dont need to book a day then get 20+ ppl you can turn up solo to alot ofg events i go in a group of 4-10 ppl so a few of us.

You dont event need to have your own weapons you can hire first few times

you going to be there?
if i can convince the 2 vikings coming to visit london we could wander over ^^

 

[Sparx]

yup this weekend

 

[Chronictank]

does this site do gun tests on the people that bring their own,
i know some tw**s mod their guns and have them optimised so they hit a hell of alot harder than they are supposed to
so im always a bit weary going to places i dont know

 

[Sparx]

yeah the krona (sp) all weapons, and also on request if thet think someones weapon is op

Had a couple last month when i went but they got weapons checked so its good. Was little cheating going on too which is a blessing cause its rife in firefight which really winds me up no end

Was 100 ppl there last month and the games lasted a loooong time so had time to get into each game. All very varied too so overall was the best day i've had in a year and a half going

Cant wait for sunday now

 

[Chronictank]

were in
what site to i book for?
assumably your near reading since you go to firefight (i live in slough) so cant be too difficult to get to
edit: as you see i have the organisation of a 4 yr old

 

[Sparx]

You can hire weapons on site if you dont have your own.
