Hi guys,
Ok here the deal my paintball team The SPC at the end of last year won the Scenario Team of the Year award, of the back of that we are launching a new scenario paintball website. It get properly live in about 2 weeks but we have opened it now to members so we can get some content in it before the launch.
The general idea of the site is to provide a resource of the scenario side of the game and to raise the profile of the team a bit. Now what we need is members so we can show potential sponsors just how popular our site is this is where you all come in ;). If you have any interest in playing paintball this is the site to be on, please sign up it would really help us out.

There was talk about getting together a bunch of people for a paintball day (was it on the forum or in real life?).
Are you chaps interested in doing this (or any other day out?)

No probs. I think the confirmation email is taking its time to get to me though. :)
I would realy quite like to go and do the lasertag thing. I went for a friend's stag do, and had some fantastic fun.

Airsoft is..kinda like paintball, but taken a bit more seriously..and I think it's meant to be a bit more painful. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airsoft)

What is Airsoft again?
Realistic looking weapons, more realistic objectives, full automatic rifles (some will do 1000 rpm)

When you get hit playing airsoft its more like being stung lots of times in quick succession, as opposed to paintball where you normally only get hit once or twice but it is almost definitely leave a bruise.
There is the honesty factor to think about, this should not be a problem if you are just playing as a group yourselves but its really annoying when playing a bunch of Ned's. In paintball the balls leave a mark in Air soft they don't.
Yeah you will get more realistic looking weapons, any yes they will fire full auto. I would not get your hopes up about more realistic objectives there is the same limitations on Air soft as there is on paintball for what you can do safely with a bunch of punters.
If you guys do go to this make sure you get full face masks not just goggles which is legal and they may offer them. Because of the size and toughness of the plastic BB's they fire the can quite happily smash teeth, and enter ear canals.
You guys should totaly go for one of these options, there is nothing like a bit of woods, mud, and pain to bring a group together. :lol:
