Airsoft Action - 10th Anniversary Edition

FEATURE
NATIONAL AIRSOFT FESTIVAL 2021
Since then, Airsoft Action has been present at all but one event and we have seen (what was then called) The
National Airsoft Event become de-rigueur for airsofters Europe-wide, with players travelling from across the
continent to enjoy not only the wide-ranging gameplay, but also the incredible social atmosphere created when
thousands of airsofters get together! Of course, this year’s event was tempered by the travel restrictions still
in place due to C-19 and the fact that the event itself was in doubt until the middle of July (when restrictions
were thankfully lifted in the UK) but for those 1800-plus players who did make it this year, we were treated to a
fabulous weekend – both on and off the field of play!
Over the years I have reported from the NAF we have seen it grow into more than “just another game of
airsoft” …into something really special. Yes, the gameplay is great fun and, given the sheer size and scale of
the Ground Zero Airsoft site (where the event is held), wide-ranging and as challenging as you choose to make
it, but there is just something “special” about it that raises it to a whole new level. From the moment players
start arriving on Friday morning to check in and get their player number and wristband, the atmosphere starts
