Re: hi

hi mate, i live just on the outskirts of manchester in a place called altrincham.
yeah ive been to alpha55 a few times i think thats what its called its in wales.
i borrowed an AK47 but it was held together with electrical tape so when im 18 i will hopefully still be into airsoft and will be able to buy a gun.

where would be the best place to get some cheap camos?
then ones i have are for cadets and need to be perfect...

Re: hi

Look about in Army surplus stores for any DPM or get lucky with kit from here. Welcome to Zeroin! I'm currently in Warrington, shifting over to Liverpool, depending how far you're willing to travel Delta Team Three is a good, friendly site. Plus the rental guns aren't held together with rental tape.. And the leader of the site is a mod on here so you can ask him in person anything you need/want to know, you can also ask me if you wish!

As for starting, you'll need some camo, hiking shoes / combat boots, anything with good ankle protection. You can always borrow the camo depending on the site. I'd invest in a 2-tone as 2 years using rentals will take a massive toll on your bank balance. Just make sure it's bought by someone over 18 and GIFTED (<- this is crucial) to you.

Anything else, don't be shy to ask ^^

Re: hi

thanks very much!
what are some good gun makes as a starter?
i mean, £500+ isn't necessary, something thats like £200 for a birthday present will do

also, can you buy rifs (is that what there called?) with a proper firearms licence as my dad has one...?

cheers guys

No.

But he can buy a two tone G&G Combat Machine GR16 A2... VERY good starter gun, he can then give it to you as a present, and you can use it. They're 130 I think from Zeroone.

When you're 18 and still going to the same site, you''ll get a membership (hopefully) and then you can buy your own fully black/camo painted guns.

Welcome!

No can do I'm afraid, two different things. Me and my father asked a few different shops and were told no on every occasion.
