    Well the site i go, in scotland is £15 to go, £15 hire £8 for 5000 rounds/pellets and £3.50 for smoke granades.

    They will lend a fully automatic electric rifle, Hi-cap mag 200 - 500 rounds, and a full face mask, the rest needs to be supplied by yourself.

    Do you HAVE to buy a good rifle?

    If not, I might just grab a full-auto P90 and run about like a physco.

    Airsoft is a military simulation sport in which players participate in mock combat with military-style mock weapons and tactics. Airsoft guns usually use 6 mm spherical pellets typically made of solid plastic.
