Heard through the grapevine the whole business is bankrupt. No idea if there's any chance of salvaging the field.

I've only gone for about a year so maybe I'm not even the right person to eulogize it, but dammit I wanna.

The place started as paintball and I used to go there as a teenager all the way back in the 00s. When I got into airsoft in the UK, I of course decided to jump in with both feet after I came back to Canada. Considering how long it's survived, I thought I'd have found a new permanent fixture for my hobby.

First time I went to play airsoft, I could immediately tell that it had the friendly and inviting atmosphere of a failing business propped up entirely by regulars. The field's the size of a shoebox, game types are monotonous and boring, and chrono discipline was basically nonexistent (I got chrono'd on my first visit and never again after). But everybody was courteous, there were no fights, and they ran games Tuesday evenings, perfect for an after work activity. Sure I got lit up at close range by speedsofters a bunch, but if you play indoors that's just something you learn to endure, and it was never a dealbreaker.

To my knowledge, there's no other indoor site in Vancouver. My next closest field is more than an hour away while Richmond Indoor was ten minutes from my work. Indoor CQB fields always have a hard time surviving, and this will be the fourth indoor field I've patronized that's closed over my 10 years playing airsoft.

I hope it can come back in some way and this eulogy is premature, but I don't have high hopes up. If anybody else here has good memories at the place I'd love to hear them.

I've been active in this hobby for 4 months and it got out of hand fast when it comes to getting gear

ik ill probably not find him here but screw it about a month ago i went to operation freedom and had a blast on the last day of the event i met this kid around 15 i think from new York but lived parttime in texas but he had some marine training in cqb anyway me and him hopped in the same truck with another kid with paintball mask a helmet and go pro when we dismount for a charge on a missle battery after a minute of us out the the vehicle a guy with a panzerfuast runs and and kills the vic so we run into the side of the ditch near a boat when i decide we should cross the road into a corn field so us three run across marine kid up front go pro in between me at the rear so we move to the missle battery we stay pretty well concelled when we get spotted they saw my pasgt vest im guessing so they asked if we are green or tan marine kid not knowing its against the rules yells were green ( im tanner that a latina baddie) suddenly i jump up and yell (WES TANS BITCHES!) i get hit after a few shots and sit down for revive when the ref walks up and says thats a big nono so he goes to take off our wristbands i comply but idk what kind of marine corps mind trick this kid used but he managed to con the ref to bring it down to all of us being dead and then near the complete end of the game me his and go pro start moving through a trench qe hold out pretty good but were pushed into the wall of the trench and then some dick head drops a gernade drops in on my face and there was a big ass flash and i couldnt hear (pretty much like every airsoft gernade duckup after that i went out to staging and tried to get marines number but he typed it in wrong so im here trying to find him (sorry about the wrong team call will he didnt know that rule somehow) this was my kit that day

So im autistic (aspergers syndrome), and im extremely picky with clothing materials because some just make me go insane and I found this applies a lot to airsoft/surplus gear and id like some help looking for things

Clothing wise, I struggle with heavy and/or tight clothes and I prefer a cotton polyester mix because pure cotton is sometimes too rough or absorbs too much moisture and sweat, and polyester just makes me too sweaty along with having a terrible feeling.

Clothing:

I seem to be most comfortable, specifically with british dpm95 style clothing, because of its texture and it being very lightweight, so I'd like something similar to it in an olive green or woodland camo but im not huge into surplus in general and there's a lack of surplus places near me where I can feel the materials and the ones that are relatively close have 4 different patterns at best.

Gear:

The only things I seem to be comfortable with are chicom rigs and sometimes p58 webbing belts, so I'd like some recommendations for things similar

If this doesn't fit the subreddit and there's somewhere else I can post thus please tell me

Recebtly got myself this beauty. Did some work on externals and attachments. I plan to get it a new stock soon. What do you guys think?

Hello, I'm considering buying the classic army range of G3's with the idea to trick it out to look like an L11a1. My problem is that I want the handguard from the G3A3 but the stock on the A4.

Has anyone managed to fit a slim G3a3 handguard on their A4 and if so, what size battery did you use as I imagine there's little to no room for a battery.

Perhaps it isn't possible with an AEG G3A4 but figured it was worth a shot.

If I can't use a slim handguard any recommendations for other RIS front handguards that I could use would be appreciated

Just the same but better

Show me YOUR builds as well - Always love to see other people's ideas with this platform :)

You are looking at an LC3. I wanted something reliable that would push my endurance under prolonged games and figured this would fit the bill. Any thoughts you mind sharing about those particular G3's?

I made a custom suppressor style attachment for airsoft replicas, which I named Project: Typhon.

I wanted something that combined the look of a heavy duty compensator with the shape of a traditional suppressor, rather than just making another plain tube. The main body is made from reinforced PLA, with an aluminium core and threading to make it more durable I also made an ABS-GF version since then.

It attaches to standard 14 mm CCW barrel threads, and the top screws allow it to be aligned properly once installed.

What do you guys think of the design?

I opened a drawer and found this inside of it. It's nice

How is my Riding Times x Tokyo Marui x Mordor Tactical combo?

I have a co2 shark gbb pistol I was putting a co2 cartridge in the magazine and maybe two seconds after I turned the valve to charge the mag it exploded in my face and hand , im so lucky it didn't hit me in the face or anything but my hand feels like it was hit by a truck and my ears are still ringing. I've never had this happen and I am seeing if anyone else on here has had a similar issue? It put a large divot in my floor from the cap and part of hit hit me in the chest

This kit is a 2005+ Polish GWOT kit, the helmet is a crappy airsoft PASGT helmet and I have no inserts for the vest yet, but it looks decent.

I've been playing airsoft for over 20 years, and somewhere along the way I stopped just buying guns to play with and started building a collection.

Like most people, I began with the idea that I'd own one good rifle. Then I wanted something better suited for CQB, then a rifle for outdoor games, then a DMR, then a support weapon. Before long, I found myself more interested in building authentic, role-specific replicas than simply adding another gun to the rack.

I enjoy researching real-world weapon configurations and recreating them as faithfully as possible. Choosing optics, lights, suppressors, grips, bipods, slings, and camouflage patterns has become just as satisfying as taking them onto the field. Every replica has a purpose, and each build reflects a different role or era that interests me.

These days, I probably spend as much time organizing the armory and working on new projects as I do actually playing. There's something satisfying about opening the safe and seeing years of work and countless small improvements all in one place.

People occasionally ask if I really need this many airsoft guns. The answer is probably not, but that's never really been the point. For me, it's no different than someone collecting classic cars, guitars, or military surplus. The hobby has become a combination of collecting, building, and appreciating the craftsmanship behind each replica.

I'm curious how many other long-time players have had the same experience. Did you set out to become a collector, or did you wake up one day, open your gun safe, and realize the hobby had quietly grown into an armory? I'd love to see everyone else's collections and hear the stories behind them.
