i will be trying to arrange a day out Airsofting at my local arena (combatsouth woodland (http://www.combatsouth.co.uk/csw/index.php)).
i will be trying to arrange it for the 31/07/05. For this date will allow us the whole site to are self’s (Private Party).
all pricing is on there site, but i will also be talking to the owner to see if i can get a deal of some sort.
but for now i would just like to see how many people would be interested.

by single shot/auto i meant for site fps limits as i run a variety of sniper rifles at around the 380fps mark. this includes both single shot bolt actions and a couple of aegs (PSG-1 and a converted M16 gearbox based one).

must put my order in for some spares to get my pistols up and running again.

Pringles,

You didnt answer the question about site limits.

What are the fps on pistols, AEG;s, bolt action and semi auto sniper rifles.

Besides squishy your busy that weekend, recovering from punch

i got the onwer of the site to e-mail me with some info and this is what he sent...

Hi Marc

OK for a Corporate/Private Day you'll need 24 players at £45/player, if
you exceed that number then any players over and above 24 with their own
equipment can play for £17/head.

FPS is 328 + 10%

You can use any Enola Gaye, Dangerzone or Spectrum pyrotechnics.

No maximum number of players.

Any other info. you may find here:

Hope that helps
Regards
Steve (Combat South)

I thought this was worth posting in here.

http://www.saveairsoft.org/

excerpt:

On the 8th June 2005 the government unveiled plans to prohibit the sale, manufacture import and distribution of ALL replica firearms in the UK, this now falls under the “ Violent Crime Reduction Bill ” and unfortunately our beloved hobby and the guns we use to play our sport are in jeopardy.

I dont follow airsoft or anything just saw this thread and that page at practically the same time. So if im wrong or w/e dont blame me.

please check your facts cabe.

absolute limit for all airsoft guns before entering the gray area of whether to classify as a license required firearm is actually 1.35 - 1.37J. This allows up to about 380fps with a 0.2g BB.

Most sites adhere to the 1J limit as it is easier to stay a longer way this side of the line that right on it.

There was a lot of discussion on assorted airsoft forums about it last year.


Lord Grim - That except is true. Currently the proposed VCR bill will make it illegal to buy, sell or import any airsoft guns. Thankfully we can keep our current kit and still skirmish but it will strangle the hobby as no new players can join.

We are hoping for exemtions or clarrification on what the bill proposes.


PRINGLES - This trip likely to happen?
