Historical Airsoft in Germany

[axis sally]

Here a link to a German forum.

http://historical-airsoft.de/

Perhaps you might want to say HELLO? They do have an international section, but it is still empty!

Liebe Grüße,
Beate

Interesting link, thanks for posting it. I do feel sorry for them out there. No full-auto allowed on Airsoft guns!

It's not exclusively German...... try being told your a FNG to shooting sports when you've had some kind of firearm or anouther since you were 12!!!!!

@ All airsoft fans,

These guys have had a hard time getting started, it is a wonder that the
hobby is allowed at all in Germany. In the early days they had to go to
other countries like Denmark (ask Hoover). They are still watched like
a hawk by the police..... I am sure they are all on a list somewhere.
But they are willing to go through all that to do the hobby, good on them!

You can do one of two things:

A) Take the pi55 and have a good laugh.

B) Write in English in their "International Guests" Section,
get to know them and build contacts for the sake of the hobby.
You may even get invited to Germany for an event?

Cheers, Bill.

Gwan then, I'll be the first, well later mind, have to go take a small person to speech and language therapy first. Whats the betting its the fact I'm female they don't get rather than what I choose to do

The German youth of today learn English to a very high standard.
You write on that forum in English and everyone will understand you.

My question for you is: How good is your German?

Cheers, Bill.

My Germans appaling (I do try and am learning slowly) know you weren't asking me but still relevant.

I always find it impressive when anyone not of native English tongue, manages to type more coherantly (even than me which is not hard) on a forum and the effort they put into making their posts legible, sadly when I attempt the same I get the pith taken so it will be a post in English to start with I daren't even try and attempt to speak German atm as I was (not so much now due to lack of practise) good at French and find no matter what I do my German sounds Belgian and I get all my words confused

[Wilhelm]

After 17 years in Germany my English does suffer a little,
I have been told that my English is very "1980s".

Someone may say something at Detling, and I say:"Never heard that saying before".
Several people will look at me strange and ask "Where have you been the last 20 years?"

In Germany I am told I speak German with a Dutch accent

Cheers, Bill.

Hiya Bill,

my german is as good as most people in england, better than my french, I think perhaps you are missing the intended humour of my previous post

although I do try to avoid the ' I can speak english in any language you like' approach that most take.

[Wilhelm]

I think perhaps you are missing the intended humour of my previous post

I think that is what happened...... internet is not as good as face to face,
I am sure you will agree.

Cheers, Bill.

Well I'm the first Olive branch offered actually reading it in a pidgeon fashion, they want to come over here to play Bill rather than us over there, having read a few posts.

See if anyone bothers to reply to me

[Heinz]

Yeah, you're right Bill. My German isn't what it used to be (pretty mush stopped using it when my grandmother died), so my translation wasn't spot on, ergo, probably took a few things out of context.
