Airsoft is a combat sport where players work in teams to either secure objectives or eliminate the opposition. Airsoft is played with replica firearms that fire 6mm BB pellets to strike the target.
As the new uni year is around the corner, it's the perfect time to start looking into all the great things that our society has to offer!
We'll have a booth set up at the fresher's fair where you can ask us anything. If you have any questions that can't wait until then please feel free to message us on our instagram! we look forward meeting every single one of you!
Airsoft is a rapidly growing combat sport, which can have elements of cosplay, in which teams play against each other to either secure objectives or eliminate the opposition. Airsoft uses replica weapons that fire 6mm BB to strike the target.
The sport has an almost endless amount of gamemodes, modes such as; Team Deathmatch, Escort the VIP, Search and Destroy, Free for Fall, Infected etc. And these games switch on a round to round basis, so the day's games are never the same and the expierience stays fresh.
Airsoft games are played at dedicated sites, these places are all unique and vary in location. The ones closest to bristol are; An abandoned prison, an old RAF base, a retired army facility, an abandoned college and a repurposed warehouse. But the sky is the limit when it comes to sites and there are a plethora of them around the country.
We are the university's airsoft team, we play every 2 weeks to get together and have some fun at our home site located on the outskirts of Bristol. We also attend other sites further away to either try them out or go and play against other university teams. We play both for fun and competitively so if you're after a more serious side of Airsoft, we have founded the University Airsoft Championships - a national university-level competition where teams of 5 with 1 substitute player compete in incredibly fast-paced rounds of CQB! (We are the current UKUAC champions! after reclaiming the title from Cardiff, after many years, so we hope to win the tournament again this year!)
Also UWEAS isn't all about Airsoft. We also arrange social events, times for us to all meet up and hang out as well as put on at least one annual charity-minded event. We also plan trips away for the weekend to not only play another university but also stay the night and socialize with their team. As a whole UWEAS is a great opportunity to meet new people and socialize with the added bonus of playing airsoft and having a great team backing you both on the field playing and in the library studying.
At UWEAS we are more than a society, we are a family. No problem is too big or too small and all of our members are there for one another, for any problems on or off the field. The society is a place where anybody is welcome, no matter who you are, we do not tolerate bullying or any other things of the sort. UWEAS has had a massive positive impact on many of its current and former members, and we aim to uphold an enviroment that fosters positivity and fun.
