A company called Ribbands Explosives used to stock military signaling and screening grenades, they may be able to help you.

No, they wont. They were sold out a long time ago. I dont know why they have the advertisement for them on anymore, as they arent easy to come by.

just wondering how you guys got into airsoft, i really fancy giving it a go. did you join a club, i wudnt have though you could just do it anywhere.

How old are you first? you don't need to get into a club (there aren't any only teams). find a skirmissh site near you
http://www.airsoftmap.co.uk/
and go and rent a gun and have a go. also go to this site and you will be able to find loads of information on the forums

Airsoft is the same as paintballing but uses BB guns instead, powerful BB guns. You get by one even under a couple of layers of clothing and it will leave a nice lump

Ok to straighten things up please go to Ukan.net. Airsofting (as we like to call it) involves Airsoft guns that can shoot up to 500Fps (feet per second) and originates from Japan. The guns fire O.2gram 6mm BB's and can range from single shot Springers to fully automatic Vulcan cannons. Unlike P**ntballing the BB's do not really hurt and we work on an honour system to see who has been shot. Airsoft is very realistic and pyrotechnics take a very big part in skirmishes (Airsoft games). The limits for guns in Skirmishes are usulally 350FPS for automatic guns and 400FPS for semi Autos. Most guns are made out of ABS or metal and cost about 200 pounds Plus. The guns we use in Skirmishes run off Ni-CD batteries but we have secondary weapons that run off Gas (usually pistols). Anyway airsofting is very cool and very fun but it might not to be to every ones liking! If you have any questions just ask :). If you want to see what Airsofting is about go to your nearest airsoft site WWW.airsoftmap.co.uk with about 30 pounds.
Cheers guys.


Oh yea you have to be 12 to play airsoft but 16 to buy a gun. (usually)

Ok another thing it's not like paintballing. The games are very different and alot more realistic. P**ntballing isn't tactical (as much as airsoft) and the games usually involve flag catching where as airsoft involves assualt and defending, aswell as hostage and other scenarios.
