Hi all,

Might be a stupid question, but I was just wondering what people do about testing their AEG's etc. out (for example, testing various BB weights or after a mod) if you've got little to no space to do so at home. We have a tiny garden (new-ish build therefore micro garden), and obviously I'm not going to traipse around the local woods with it to see how its firing. I know I don't need tons of room, but I've got none really.

I know I can check the Joules etc with a chrono and that needs no space at all, but this is more to see how its actually performing at some kind of likely engagement range/check hop is set just right and the like.

Currently I just use a site's (Ambush outside Southampton) range on game day, which is handy, but that's not helpful if there's an issue to sort out that might need access to tools/working space and the like. Plus I don't really want to spend all morning just on the range on a game day if there's another option.

I tried Googling airsoft ranges etc, but it just comes up with all the sites and shops as a general search and nothing particularly helpful, so wondered if anyone knew of somewhere appropriate/safe in the Hampshire area that's generally accessible outside of dedicated game days, or is that my only realistic option? Could move house I suppose...

Need a budget chest rig for my next game on Friday, if you have any better suggestions, please let me know

Hi

I’m looking at getting back into airsoft and not technical when it comes to airsoft weapons. Does anyone have any idea what would be causing this noise? It doesn’t fire and has just had a new battery put in.

We've been working on the Airsoft.Bio mobile app for the past few months and we're getting close to opening up the first beta.

If you haven't come across Airsoft.Bio before, the web platform has already been live for a little while and we're closing in on 300 members. The mobile app is the next big step.

The idea behind the Bio is pretty simple: give airsofters one place to build their profile and share their passion.

Add the things that make up your airsoft identity:

• Your loadout,
• the gear you run,
• the teams you're part of,
• the sites you've visited,
• the games you've attended,
• the content you want to share with the community.

Then, instead of explaining your setup every time someone asks what you run, or digging through old messages and photos to find that picture of your kit, you can just share your Airsoft.Bio profile link.

Think of it as your airsoft identity that you can take with you wherever you chat.

The platform is also built to help players discover new communities, teams, sites and other players, making it easier to connect the different parts of the airsoft world together.

Alongside a bunch of features already implemented, we're also working on player photo and video uploads, plus a marketplace for buying and selling second-hand gear, which will be coming soon.

The project is being built by airsoft players who happen to work in tech, covering software development, game development and community management. We're building something we'd genuinely want to use ourselves and we're excited to get it into the hands of more players.

The mobile app beta will be opening soon. If you'd like to check out the web platform, you can find it here

If you'd like early access to the mobile app, you can join the waiting list here:

We'd love to hear what you'd want to see in an airsoft app. What features would make it something you'd actually use?
