yoda2031 Posted June 30, 2020 Report Share Posted June 30, 2020 Just logged on after 14-ish years outside of the UK Airsoft scene, but I did play a couple of games in Sweden in the mean time (I'm sure there are folks here who have been to or at least heard of Berget). Hoping to get back into things once the all-clear from COVID-19 sounds, so I've already started gearing up (will have to rent a rifle to begin with though, since mine is in Sweden and importing it would be a bit risky). Crazy how many people are coming back around the same time. Looking forward to seeing some of you in the field! 😁 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TK4235 Posted July 1, 2020 Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 Seems like a lot of 'old timers' are coming back into airsoft.... maybe it's got something to do with Covid and the lockdown and realising how much good fun airsoft used to be....I know I'm all pumped up to start playing again.... bought a 417 and a 416 over the last few months and I'm eager to get out there....... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm no longer a UKARA holder, but when I did I essentially imported some RIFs on behalf of a guy who was moving here from France and it went smoothly - may be worth investigating whether you could arrange something similar.

Thing is, it's a PTW - that thing set me back €1,000 and no offence but I wouldn't really trust some random guy who I've never met to import it for me. I mean, once I've played a few skirmishes and got to know some of the guys it might be an option but by that point I might as well get my own UKARA membership. Also I'd kind of prefer to leave that one in Sweden anyway, Berget is a special game, it deserves a special rifle 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not that I ever made it there, no team, and getting there on my own would have been a real hassle without a car, either. Just hope it doesn't go entirely pear-shaped in Sweden, or it might be even further than summer '21 that next Berget gets run...

Yeah I'm keeping a close eye on the situation, atm it seems like summer '21 should happen but who knows how things will progress from here. Either way I'll be going to *the next* berget, whenever that may be! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew Kelly Posted October 3, 2020 Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 Another old sweat back after nearly 15 years (stopped 2006). Used to play in London at Angel. Sad to hear it's not there anymore. I'm sat here browsing the forums and sites, waiting for COVID to bugger off so I can play some games... assuming my old SIG552 is still working that is!

ED-SKaR Posted October 4, 2020 Report Share Posted October 4, 2020 A fellow 'werkzer, nice :D. Electrowerkz closed in 08, Janno tried to get another site setup in london but nothing really stuck (some great games happened in some interesting places though :D) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Geronimo Posted October 31, 2020 Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 I had a brief flirtation with airsoft in about 2005-6, came to Arnie-Geddon in 2005 and ended up joining Havoc's merry band of geardos lol.. anyone know what's become of him? I see he's shown as banned on here (again lol) I don't know why i stopped really, i was going to start up again in 2012 but it never happened. So now in the middle of a pandemic i discover there's a field only a few miles away from me. Time to build up my gear again i think to get rid of the bear belly. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kalbs Posted November 20, 2020 Report Share Posted November 20, 2020 I was in China working for the last 7 years now 2 in Canada, mostly away from airsoft and related forums (I would occasionally travel back to Hong Kong to play). I started playing in 2002 up until 2015 . I joined Arnie’s in May 2003. I turn 60 next February... in storage still in HK I have all my guns and gear which I unfortunately cannot legally get my guns here back to Canada. If some knows how I’m interested to know. Recently I have purchased a few guns, mostly for just collecting and plinking here on Vancouver Island. This is my first post on Arnie’s probably since 2011.

Started AS and Arnies addiction, I think 2007....been out for a few years, getting back into it because Disc Golfing is not enough. Good to see some people still on here. My old handle died, good for it. Just saying..sup ya'll! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tquilha Posted January 28, 2021 Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 Hello again everyone. I've been away from airsoft for a long time, now I'm basically waiting for the virus to go away so I can play again. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lone_Bullet Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 Wotcher peeple. I'm just checking in on Arnies after a ... what'ya callit. I've just got given an old TM5-7 with swollen hopunit and I'm browing for info if there's a 3rd party, sturdy hop available. This brings back memories, man.... that and broken dreams xD. Ah, to airsoft again. Sure is better than old man jogging. Have a good one, all of you 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GI0VANNI Posted July 21, 2021 Report Share Posted July 21, 2021 On my discharge appeal just can say that I moved to Scotland, have been playing until covid (in bubbles of 6 players per respawn) and then "my" site lost the forest so... maybe will try Fife as they seem to still have a place and players but I applaud the spirit of players in Scotland.
