Bristol Airsoft Reviews Summary

Staff and Marshals

Pros:

• "Everyone was very polite, informative and approachable."
• "Marshall was knowledgable and even got involved with the games to even out the numbers."
• "The staff is great, it was my first Airsoft game and they explained everything to me in detail."
• "The marshal we had yesterday was probably, if not the best marshal I have had in my time whilst playing airsoft."
• "Amazing guys especially if like my self your a complete beginner at Airsoft, these guys are so helpful and knowledgeable about the sport."
• "Staff and other players are very friendly and helpful."
• "Marshalls are top notch - really fair and sensible with the rules and purposefully kid friendly when there are younger ones on site."

Cons:

• "The marshals the second time were not nearly as friendly nor knowledgeable as my previous experience and overall a huge letdown."
• "Even after the marshall declares the zone safe he fails to pick up on the rental players with loaded weapons, and the regulars dry firing in the safe zone constantly."
• "The marshalls didn't do much to help safety."
• "2nd Marshall had all the kit on but was a cheat...never called his shots and moaned when you shot him."
• "Marshals were more interested in playing the games and shooting there friends whilst being extremely rude and unprofessional the whole day."
• "However as soon as you come in the marshalls are chatting with the players they know and weren't great with directions to the safe zone."
• "Rude management, too crammed, too dark and overpriced."

Facilities and Equipment

Pros:

• "Shop 10/10, has all you need. tracer bb's and pyro purchased. And patch!"
• "Bristol airsoft caters for all ages, giving a great adrenaline rush as you try to win each game."
• "Very close range indoor site. Two floors with the courtrooms upstairs and the cells underneath."
• "The building is amazing."
• "Even the rental guns are very high quality here, which from what I'm told is rare in a lot of places."
• "Lunch was good, big pizza and chips which I didn’t expect."
• "The guns were easy to use and prison settings were great fun and unique."

Cons:

• "Total rip off and waste of a journey."
• "The rental equipment was useless. Stopped working constantly and was underpowered and ineffective against the 'pros'."
• "The safe zone was tiny and in no way was enough space for all the shooters they had booked in."
• "The whole experience was pretty unsafe the lack of minimum firing distance was worrying especially when faced against the trigger happy dressed up navy seals."
• "There was a single working toilet for the whole site which was absolutely vile! If you need to sit down to pee, just hold it in!"
• "There are pipes downstairs leaking water or sewage, it’s really hazardous and unhygienic."
• "The building is in bad condition, which might not be a problem as it’s an airsoft cqb arena, but the mould on the walls could be potentially be hazardous to your health."

Game Experience

Pros:

• "Game site while initially awesome gets stale quick."
• "Out of all the sites (indoor and outdoor), this site is by far the best."
• "Definitely the most cheating and over shooting I have ever seen on a site."
• "With friendly and helpful staff on hand I felt safe and confident even on my first game."
• "The gameplay was flawless ... great teamwork in places."
• "A fascinating building gives a new dimension."
• "An amazing place to play. Very friendly marshals and always made to feel welcome in the male dominated world of airsoft."

Cons:

• "Overall avoid coming here if you're new to this 'sport'."
• "The whole field is fantastic in general, the larger rooms and the tight victoriana jail cells allow a diverse play style."
• "Was essentially a bunch of dressed up middle aged men boasting expensive equipment and were completely unsupportive to new players."
• "The venue was good, shame I cannot say the same for the organisation."
• "The gamemodes are mostly poor, the long corridors lead to players simply holding an angle and spraying tracer rounds down a corridor."
• "It’s too dark for rental gear as you need flashlights and lasers to see anything in the majority of rooms."
• "Downstairs becomes a campfest; there's too many onesided power positions and it takes the fun out of it."
