    Hey folks new to the airsoft world but I'm already hooked. Just wondering is there any site to track down airsoft groups. I've played four different times with different people each time. I would like to try doing it with a group so as not to have the 10min of saying hello to new people and all the hand shaking.
    Did you try posting here?

    True but unfortunately alot of the knowledge and experience has gone that way too. There's a lot of people moved away, who never had an issue here but were fed up for one reason or another, and followed the rest of the peeps who left.

    Many wouldn't even realise boards was the real place where it all kicked off...

    Big thanks to the man who got me (and many others), involved way back then.

    RIP Shiva

    The purple one for ages 0-6 was where it was at. I remember being really sad as a kid when I got a bit older and got upgraded to the more grown up one :(

    Maybe that's what I need to start filling my Thunder Bs with.

    You still playing Airsoft these days Gatling? I've gone full 'Nam now, just ordered myself a G&P Car-15 to go with the rest of my Vietnam gear. Looked a bit strange running around with a Type 89, an M1 helmet with ODs and Alice webbing :D

    I've always played with non modern gear as I just find it a bit more interesting from the historical side of things. More aesthetically pleasing to my eye too.

    Have never been into modern loadouts, find them a bit overdone and busy and I don't like M4s. I spent years playing with British Falklands gear and my trusty FN FAL until it recently broke, so decided to go full on Vietnam instead. Always really liked the look of gear from that era.

    If anyone calls my new CAR-15 and M4 they'll be getting an earful :D

    Got a good shot a few weeks ago at Spec Ops actually.

    Shame I'm using a modern Japanese rifle (I actually had an m14 with me but the gearbox packed it in that morning, boo!)

    Haha, I completely get you. When i was first getting into the sport i was tempted to go for something like early cold war soviet era such as ppsh or early ak varients. Tho i decided against it for getting into the sport just incase i decided it wasnt for me. So for im stuck with my krytac m4 predator and OD green uniform and webbing. Might decide to put a lil money into getting the other loadout and gear tho.

    Luckily older loadouts are actually quite a bit cheaper to put together on ebay. Only expensive thing tends to be the guns!

    Fair play to the lads at Spec Ops for keeping the site going amid all the restrictions, I was up there a few weeks ago and they'd really put a lot of work in to ensure they were compliant. Really hope they can weather the storm as I love the site.

    Yeah i had my fair share of backdoor airsoftin. Had a friend who owned a big forest so camped out and had a good few games back in april.

    I know Red hills had also put in a lot of effort to keep their site going also, even when kildare went back into lockdown.
