New kid on the block

[Polluxtroy69]

Hi
I'm Dave from the NW of England and I'm pretty new to airsoft. I have been playing for nearly 2 months now after being introduced by a friend. After my first CQB I was hooked. I'm currently waiting for my UKARA.
I don't own any airsoft weapons as of yet but I am hoping to build up some sort of kit over the next 12 months or so.
joined this forum for hint, tips and to get more involved in what the ******* ***** is about (so you might get a couple of stupid questions thrown your way).

Hello Dave welcome to the forum and to airsoft, how did you get into the sport in the first place

Hi mate.
A guy at work has been asking me to go for quite a while but I've always said I would go but I just never got around to it - I work a lot you see. Finally got around to playing some indoor and I loved it. I needed a hobby and if I didn't like this I was going to try out deep water diving as I had snorkeled the GB reef and also off of Lucaya in the Bahamas and loved that (I know it's completely different contrasts). But soon as I tried airsoft I really enjoyed it. The wife hates the bruising that I get but she's learning that it's happening. The guys I go with have plenty of gear which they do lend me but I'm just looking to get into it without spending every penny I have haha so I'm buying bits that I know I need.
I currently have:
Kapmore goggles and face mask
Mk2 Bulldog plate carrier.

Looking at getting a gun as we speak with the help and suggestions from some of my friends; I'm sure that I am driving them crazy with links and questions. But they seem supportive. I'm 34 but I wish I started playing when I was 24 as I've missed out on something I hope can play for a long time.
