My (slightly softcore) Attempt At Being a War Photographer

[Derelict-UK]

Have always wanted to be a war photographer (Planetx from this forum has my actual dream job!!) and now I have an opportunity to follow it, all be it with plastic bullets!

(TriggerSnappy is my new Airsoft name)

For the rest check the slide show...

did you have your own gun to defend yourself? If someone popped a cap in my lens I would want revenge :rasp:

Nice pics dude. Real airsoft rocks. Mate of mine owns a bunch of derelict barns and land. Converted them into airsoft friendly and held wars, went we weren't out at days.

Nah I didn't have a gun lol, I had a full face mask though, looked a bit menacing

It's called 'The Mall' which is Friars Walk shopping centre in Reading, it is going to be demolished so they managed to get use of it about once every 2 weeks I think.

Cost to the public is £50 which includes all equipment & guns, food etc.

You need to book through http://www.firstandonlyevents.co.uk

Looks fun. How do you win though as it looks like there is s**t loads of ammo on the floor, is it not a case of when you're shot you're out?

Thats exactly it, they are very serious about it lol, if you get shot in the real world, you can't exactly continue, so as soon as you are shot you leave the game.

Everyone seemed to abide by the rules too.

Ah thats cool, just seemed like with all the ammo vs the ammount of ppl there that they were just firing rounds off at eachother!

Looks like an amazing location for something like that.

My favourite shots are the ones where you have captured the movement.
