DaktariT Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Well time to try something new due to the fact that I'm no longer compatible with my xbox (something to do with old age) and the fact that I seem to be collecting a lot of camo clothing. I've played a lot of paintball but I get the feeling that Airsoft is a lot different. I've to not played yet but am I jumping the gun (no pun intended) at looking to buy a gun yet? Looking forward to being an active member on this forum (mainly noob question asking). Daktari T, West Sussex.
Guest PT247 Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 If under 18 you'll not be able to buy one. If over 18 you'll not be able to buy anything unless it is 2-toned bright colours. Once you have played a few games you can register as an airsofter with UKARA which will make buying realistic airsoft guns easier (as long as you are over 18). Just rent until you know if you enjoy it, then while on site you can see what kit others have and see what you like without having wasted money on a gun you'll not like.
DaktariT Posted March 25, 2015 Author Posted March 25, 2015 where in west sussex are you? East Grinstead
Guest PT247 Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 So Battle Lakes is your local site I guess? :-)Pop to Dogtag Airsoft at Holmbush Farm sometime too if you enjoy it, both sites are massive but the game styles are a bit different, variety is the spice of life etc! :-)
Josh95 Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Hi mate, I would go to a rental game first, then if you enjoy it go to 2 more rentals and you can buy a gun without having it painted a silly colour
DaktariT Posted March 25, 2015 Author Posted March 25, 2015 Thanks for the heads up on the local sites :-) I wasn't aware of Battle Lakes but I have friend is taking me to holmbush in the next few weeks.

DaktariT Posted June 22, 2015 Author Posted June 22, 2015 That is a sexy looking gun!! Where did you get it from? It's a G&G cm16 raider with taclight/laser combo, 3 sided riser, red dot,angled foregrip and cheap silencer
Drewster211 Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 It's a G&G cm16 raider with taclight/laser combo, 3 sided riser, red dot,angled foregrip and cheap silencer Nice! It's looks like a mixture of Black and Tan?
DaktariT Posted June 22, 2015 Author Posted June 22, 2015 Mistakenly bought a mixed pack of rail covers so will be fixing that soon.
Berto Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 I like the silencer, where did you get that from matey?
Happy Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 Would have personally put a T1 style sight or an acog on it, but actually looks pretty cool as it is DaktariT 1
MxHaze Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 Looks a bit wafty (the technical term) with that rear sight still on.
DaktariT Posted June 27, 2015 Author Posted June 27, 2015 I have set so if the red dot goes down the ironsiight is a backup
WillSwain95 Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 Hi mate, welcome to the forum, I'm new myself pal so we're on the same boat! That gun is sweet! I was like you, wanting to buy a gun before i've ever played before! haha I played my first game and bought a M15A4 RIS 2 days later! haha I was looking at the CM16 Raider L for a while but really struggled to find a shop with them instock! or even a FB selling page! But came across my gun and love it! Hopefully one day we'll meet and have a match! You're pretty far from me, but it's a small world normally haha Take it easy buddy!
DaktariT Posted October 17, 2020 Author Posted October 17, 2020 Over five years of airsoft and the forum bloody hell. Skullchewer, djben9 and Jedi_Master 3

Skullchewer Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 I know what you mean. There's a disturbing amount of camo and molle in my wardrobe. No idea how it got there ?
DaktariT Posted October 22, 2020 Author Posted October 22, 2020 The problem with the amount of camo in my wardrobe is that I didn't see it coming. Skullchewer 1
