I suggest you go to a local site first and ask to try some of the other players guns, well worth it as you don't want to be dissapointed with your choice.

So whats the build quality like on these things, are they nice heavy construction or a bit plasticky?

It depends which model you go for.

AK47s for example are just as durable as the real ones (well ok maybe not THAT good).

My M4 is all metal apart from the front foregrip, which I'm going to try and replace with metal once its working.

It's heavy too, about 3.5KG unloaded.

Inbetween really, I had it chronographed at 300fps.

You feel it, trust me

Bit of a waste of money, if you just want display get some single actions ones. Cheaper.

If you will use them, then by all means go ahead

It is.

Luckily I didnt get Headshotted today, but I did get about twenty into my back

Also a prisoner we had was being evil and not cooperating, really hurt my wrist dragging him along the floor

Do you or anyone you know have any experience of getting guns from the states, places over there seem to have more choice and appear cheaper but obviously these things going through customs can cause trouble? am i better sticking with british sellers?

Don't get it from America, they have orange tips to conform with law.

Japan is good, www.gunsnguys.com www.wgcshop.com

Obviously you will be hit by Import tax, customs is fine as they're clearly labled as toys/models.

It may be best buying from UK first, as if something goes wrong, it'll be a lot of hassle to send back to Japan.

Like mine, I was going to buy from Japan, glad I didn't now as I can send it back easily.

Does it play out quickly and restart? (5-10mins?) or do you face a long wait if you get shot early on?

Do you get idiots who refuse to acknowledge a hit?

Warmup/Warmdown games are usually 10 mins.

One hit dead.

Then we have hour long games, where if you're hit you respawn from a medic.

Some people don't take hits, but alert a marshall and they'll sort it out.

Gun isn't working!

I'll see if I can fire off one or two rounds in a bit, you'll be able to see the problem too then.

Skully · 3 Oct 2004 at 12:56

Ok, I've made a video.

Rubbish quality as its done on my phone. You probably cant even see the BBs. Most of the time nothing is coming out, hence the problem

I don't know what codec you need as my Nokia Suite thing already installs it :confused:

Edit : Have been told you get a lot of text when clicking it rather than a link, so here it is zipped.

It's usually ok, only need to wind them up once. But with the problem I need to wind to get it to feed :rolleyes:

what u dont have to wear full face mask in paintballing u do in case it hits u in the ear one broken ear drum. or whallops u in the mouth. Its surprising how many hits are landed around these dellicate places.

Each individual shot isn't as powerful as a paintball. So it doesn't cause as much damage.

But when my gun works, with its 12 rounds per second, it makes up for the pain in numbers

well i think i would ware a full head mask. dont c the point in the risk. plus u look more mean. or maybe just a balacaver(spelling ) that would stop it, but still danm sting.

It doesn't hurt that much. I wore full face my first two goes, is really uncomfortable, hot and FOV is low. Bought myself some Guarder Glasses, so much better.

Edit : Under 16s its Full face mask.

doesnt say anything about gogles or do they come when u hire a gun?

Each event costs £18 per day to play (unless otherwise stated). That includes walk-on fee, insurance, tea’s, coffee etc.

If you wish to hire a gun, face mask etc then we can provide everything you need for a further £15.

From the costs page

I bought myself some camoflage for when I first went, worth it so you dont stick out in the woods.

Most people are usually very helpful/friendly.

Skully, i've made my choices of weapons but is it best to go with Electric or gas or even spring?? I'm deffo getting the Super 90 but its only available as single action.

The Super 90 needs to be cocked after each shot and won't be that powerful.

Assault rifles are best to go for electric, gas is usually associated with Pistols or snipers.
