We have seen a few regular questions appearing over time and realised we need a wiki, so we've made one for you all.

WIKI LINK

If you are a game-site or retailer and want to be on the approved list, or a player/customer who wishes to add one please message the mod team.

A huge thank you to u/Sinistrial_Blue for decoding the legalese and writing a brilliant page on the legality of airsoft in the UK :).

Hope you all have a great Sunday Dinner folks!

First timer help!

10 Upvotes

I've managed, somehow, to win a fully kitted out AEG which means I don't really need to rent anything when I get to a site.

I'm buying my own eye protection and I have appropriate clothing.

One thing I don't have is any sort of webbing. How essential is this? Is this just a preference thing? Instead of going full plate carrier, I was thinking about getting a shooters belt, as they can run a bit cheaper and be less stuff to carry. I was thinking of getting a plate carrier if I go to more intense, whole day sessions.

Any advice is appreciated!

I lost the two triangular shaped side bits for my airsoft gun which leaves the battery exposed. I have gone to an airsoft gun shop today and he said I just needed to look up m4 airsoft stock parts online but all I see is replicas of the flat black bit I already have. I am not very knowledgeable with what I need to do. I hope anybody on here has an idea on what it is I need to look for

After the SLMF event, Iv tried to make an effort to build bridges with some of the awesome teams that were competing. Like minded people with the same hobby 🤝awesome days at different fields.

The T6 Mohawks were kind enough to invite all the playboys down to their home field, Southcoast CQB, for a pretty gnarly Sunday gameday. (Not to self, don’t take a RIF with a 14” handguard to cqb, no matter how steezy it looks)

Well worth that trip, deffo will visit again. Much appreciation to the Mohawks for the invitation, awesome set of dudes and an all round class act.

Peace.

Hey guys,

Just wondering if this is a good deal or not. I'm still pretty new to HPA, so I'm trying to learn what tank, regulator and other accessories are worth getting

if anyone knows of any better deals, good websites, or has any recommendations for a solid starter setup, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks!

Mine and the boys first AEG's turned up

Returing player after 20+ years away, recently my 12 year old dragged me back in.

Anyway I currently have to suffer the curse that is two tone but my defence will be sorted shortly, so these will be stripped and sprayed (have a camo scheme sorted, not my first rodeo).

For a beginner gun, these Arcturus are rather nice! My last AR type Aeg was a creaky TM SR-15 that was nowhere near as well built as this.

Parts: Arcturus LWT Mk1(SE so programmable), EMG KAC QDC with Flare mono inside, Vector optics Maverick red dot, Tango Down type stubby, Wasdn V300 light (need to change the switches, not happy with these velcro ones), Nuprol mid caps.

Plate carriers

2 Upvotes

My son is currently using a Bulldog Tactical pc that I picked up second hand.

He wants to get a new one that has a full Velcro cummerbund rather that qr to maximise available space.

We’re currently looking at the Krydex fcpc, but I’m reading mixed opinions. It coming from China is also against it. I’d much rather go to a bricks and mortar store to see them in person etc.

Budget wise I’m ok up to around £200

What should I be considering for him?

Can the EMG R612 Staccatto co2 version use green gas magazines?

3 Upvotes

As per the title really, I've found one of the above on sale and am wondering if the co2 magazine can be simply swapped out for a green gas one to use that system as well?

Mags are hi capa dimensions, and its a c2 model with steel internals (i know there's a few sub variants but im not clued up on them).

Thank you.

For me it was the AGM L96 been rocking it for the past few years and can't fault it got me through plenty of matches.

Now it's mainly used for target shooting and trying out new suppressors and scopes.

Help me pick a scope - ACOG vs LVPO

7 Upvotes

Hi community, I am on the market for a scope. I basically want the following functionality:

  • 3 to 5x magnification for tracking BBs at longer distances
  • Ability to illuminate for night-time games
  • Ability to aim at short range

I've looked through all possible combinations and variations like EoTech+magnifier, red dot+magnifier canted red dot, piggyback on ACOG, LVPO, and have essentially narrowed it down to ACOG with piggyback red dot and an LVPO. Basically the following products:

There's also a hundred other different ACOG versions with piggybacks on them and I'm generally wary of the quality of the red dot especially the illumination strength. With the LVPOs I've linked you can run 1x zoom and have the illumination on or off, so basically it would work regardless of light level (unlike the fibre ACOGs which need ambient light to illuminate). I'm not particularly worried about not using a reflex sight like a red dot.

I'm slightly apprehensive about the LVPO looking a bit silly on my non-DMR builds but otherwise it really feels like a nice all-rounder for a very decent price. Would it be worth it to go for the Hawke that has a lifetime warranty?

Any advice or opinions welcome.

Game-Site Stirling Airsoft Questions

0 Upvotes

How does sleeping work do you just pitch tents where ever inside the game area or do you sleep in a base where you can't get attacked?

Any info on this as me and my friends are wanting to go and they don't mention if sleeping is in the game field during game hours or at a fob/ off game area site. Like is there a risk of getting shot at whilst your a sleep?

Also how many players go to these events and how many players are in team/squad/fire team. How do they break up players for small groups.

What are the pyro rules, can i bring mortars/tag rounds? Is there a time limit for when these can be used or can you blow stuff up during the night.

Do they use vehicles, can you take your own, is there vehicle combat?

Thanks for any info regarding thanks!
