I am a Airsofter, whats airsofting i hear you shout, well its sorta like paintball but only better and cheaper. Instead of firing crappy paintballs, airsoft uses Ball Berings. Yes thats 6mm 0.2g plastic hard balls. Anway airsoft in the UK takes place in regulated sites run by a reconized governing body. The staff/marshals at the site regulate games and set up different situations for each game, this mainly depends on what type of site and the size (urban, woodland, etc etc).
Most Airsoft sites attrach 100 to 300+ players for one whole day of airsofting. People use replica looking firearms (which in no way can be converted to use real bullets). General there are two teams which are marked by colours so people playing can tell whos who (well its ment to work that way, but in most cases you end of shouting at a group of people in heavy cover the name of your team and they ending up to be the OpFor, so in this case their answer consists of a hail of BBs.)
Recently after a dry patch of not playing airsoft since i moved to Uni i went with a friend to Urban Assault outside of Huntingdon near Peterborough. Ive never played at a Urban site before, im only used to Ground Zero Airsoft at Ringwood. Anyway first impressions excellent site, some real nice areas and buildings. I also took aload of pics... enjoy!
