Fully get it, I’ve still got all my kit in garage and about 6 rifles. I don’t get to play anymore as too busy with work and family and I’m getting too old to be running about getting shot by kids all day.
Glad to know you guys are carrying on with yt, my favourite videos are the manky green surplus, best of luck and i am very excited to see the new content
I totally get it , your content however has always been super informative and really useful review wise, end of an era . Best of luck with the new chapter
Really looking forward to enjoying manky green surplus with you - it's your uniform videos that enticed me into the channel in the first place so excited to hear you'll be focussing on that from now on.
I hope it all goes well on the new channel for you. It is indeed getting hard to do any Airsoft content that is monitised. I had to turn all that off years ago on my channel.
Yeah man I totally get it. I still have all my airsoft stuff, but luckily most of that was ALREADY military surplus. I've moved on to basically exclusively living history and reenactment milsim. I'll still go to a pick up game now and then purely for the fun but it really is few and far between. I still think they're fun toys to plink around with, too. My friends and I go out to some property we have access to, dress in impressions, and LARP. Sometimes it's American Civil War, sometimes it's Vietnam. So it's a bit of a weird situation with me, I'm basically entire out of Airsoft as a hobby yet I'm still weirdly invested in it. I really like the concept of Manky Green Surplus, as milsurp has always where my heart has been with all of this. Good luck guys! Don't delete the airsoft videos, though!
It's not about being too old. We both have quite active other hobbies, it's more about the passion for 90 per cent of airsoft gaming not being there for me. I've always been way more in to re-enactment and that's where my time and energy go these days.
Sorry to hear about the news Aatv has gotta be one of the best out there I especially like the loadouts so looking forward to the manky greens era for the channel keep up the great content👏
A sad day, ca't really play myself for health reasons but still collect and love watching your videos. Will miss them but fully understand. Good luck with Manky Green, i'll be watching. Perhaps you should keep this channel up so you can post a link.
We’re planning on uploading on this channel but with a change of name and on a new mirror channel and seeing what happens with views. We’ll keep all the existing content up as well.
You Guys nailed it ! I started playing or mainly collectiong Airsoft in 2003 and yes you`re right, the game changed quit a lot until today. I really loved it back in the days but today i am not playing any more. Because the people are different... perhaps because they see Airsoft Sniper Videos and think its cool to shoot someone in the face ... nope it isnt cool ! Be a Gentleman like back in the days. I wish you the very best for the future
You guys have made some of the best, most objective test vids over the years. Defining videos of the genre. Shame you have been pushed out by the algorithm overlords, but very best of luck for the new venture!
Surplus! Excellent, really looking forward to seeing your new work. Genuinely nice and knowledgeable lads doing what they enjoy. Onwards and upwards gentlemen!
Been really impressed with your videos over the years, you guys have turned out some top notch content I get where you’re coming from , airsoft today ain’t the same as airsoft 15 years ago. Looking forward to the new channel, will definitely be a subscriber.
Thanks for all your vids, I always looked forward to your content as it wasn't the usual airsoft nonsense you normally get. Going forward, I am pretty sure that we all would like to see you both duelling dressed as Roundheads and Cavaliers. Or maybe some Napoleonic based shenanigans. Military kit of opposing armies during the ages would be of great interest (to me anyway).
Sort of stuff we both personally love but just don't have any kit (real or replica) so we'd just be talking over still pictures, not sure how engaging that would be for most folks. Tom and I are both very into the Napoleonic period.
What a blow, although I totally understand. I haven’t played since November 2021 and couldn’t be happier. The game isn’t what it was. Don’t find it fun anymore. Done all I could to keep it engaging and fun, and came to the same point as you fellas did. All the best as you transition into MGS. See you next time X ☕️
I get what you're saying, It's a constant wonder to me that my FB page has never been nuked, but I can't help feeling they win, if we all do this, they win. Look forward to the new stuff though.
Your video on the PLCE mare me get a set before i headed to Ukraine. Its served me well and a damn sight cheaper than building a Molle based bellt rig ❤. Best of luck with the future content cant wait to see it
completely understand early last year i stopped playing airsoft as wasn't enjoying it like i used too, sold some kit and started working on a land rover series 3 since
I'm still airsofting - mostly doing odd skirmishes with mates rather than Filmsim due to time/funds these days. But I always love a bit of surplus and militaria even though I haven't got loads of time for living history atm! Will be great to see what comes next
Gutted but I fully understand what's happening. Will the old videos still be able to watch? Lots of good stuff their that would be a shame if it was lost.
Understandable anything that comes under the meta umbrella have closed accounts down etc for having rifs in the pictures etc. airsoft side of things I understand too I’ve not been playing as long as you guys but the past year I’ve slowly lost the enthusiasm as for it plus with work commitments and family life I maybe goto a skirmish once every few months these days. Tempted to try a milsim to see if the change in style will reinvigorate my passion for airsoft if not I’ll be selling up I think. Looking forward to seeing the new videos I like history etc so I’ll be sticking around for them
I love Army surplus, its also great for people looking to buy stuff, I recently got a British Army Northern Ireland Patrol pack 30L its perfect for hiking in summer, lightweight and comfortable.
As a retro airsofter more interested in filmsim games and running surplus/impressionist kit I understand how the standard skirmish game is not your cup of tea. Hopefully you can still keep a toe in the water with the occassional themed games. 🤞
Sorry to see you guys move on after so long, but totally understand it... It's getting stupid with the throttling and pedantic BS we have to put up with just because "oh noes gun shaped things"... Look forward to seeing what you continue on with gents 🍻
@@AnvilAirsoftTV Good luck AATV! Similar issues with militaria/reenacting will also appear in your channel switch but hopefully you can ride out the storm! It`s a shame that the alternatives that are out there no one uses on the same scale as youtube.
@@AnvilAirsoftTV I think it would be an interesting video to talk about tailored kit. Looking for information but there’s not a lot online. Even if it’s just information you’ve heard about a shop.
Brilliant, sad that airsoft is being cancelled by social media and Pootoob but glad you can continue making vids, especially if its about mouldy smelly green kit! Thanks Guys :)
Real shame, I've enjoyed sharing your videos on First and Only Airsoft social media but the last year or so those shares actually damaged our views on the analytics as Meta blacklisted that post for us. I wanted to help you guys as much as I could with those shares but they were not helping the business I work for.
I will still collect the guns but not play...i have 9 at the moment but i think i have only ever used 2 at best....plus i dont drive and most airsoft game sites are in the middle of nowhere...you really do need your own transport
I have no interest in watching people play airsoft, and while some of your 'range' content and ballistics tests were interesting, the content I've enjoyed most on this channel is the history and equipment talk; uniforms, webbing, kit, etc. The 'talk show' format you did during Covid was actually really good on its own merits. It sounds like you guys are playing to your strengths, taking the channel in a direction that is both better for you, as well as (in my opinion) more entertaining and interesting.

Yup same
If you feel too old, then youve lost the game

Glad you like them! We do too.
I totally get it , your content however has always been super informative and really useful review wise, end of an era . Best of luck with the new chapter
Onwards and upwards! Looking forward to your future videos.
Much appreciated!
Thank you for your airsoft related content! Good luck with the new venture it will be interesting to see! Thanks guys
Our pleasure!
Mad respect guys. A lot of people would have carried on making content that they don't enjoy. Looking forward to future videos!
Tough decision. But long term will be the right one.
Really looking forward to enjoying manky green surplus with you - it's your uniform videos that enticed me into the channel in the first place so excited to hear you'll be focussing on that from now on.
Great to hear!
Not an airsofters, but really interested in surplus military stuff. Looking forward to it.😊
RIP :(

I was concerned but then you're turning the channel into something I'm even more likely to watch!
That seems to be most of the reaction. We’re glad people are pretty happy about it.
never to old to do airsoft it brings young and old together and keeps you fit
If you don’t enjoy an activity any more there is very little point in pushing yourself to do it. I swim, lift weights and road cycle
It's not about being too old. We both have quite active other hobbies, it's more about the passion for 90 per cent of airsoft gaming not being there for me. I've always been way more in to re-enactment and that's where my time and energy go these days.
Will definitely miss the airsoft content from you guys. Always top notch content. But understandable. Will keep watching. 🤓
Sorry to hear about the news Aatv has gotta be one of the best out there I especially like the loadouts so looking forward to the manky greens era for the channel keep up the great content👏

Hi James, yeah we'll keep the old content up. Thanks for all the support
Yaaaas can’t wait for the old school loadouts! Love watching those 👍 looking forward to it guys 🍻
Coming soon!

thats great, your guides have been fantastic for impressions and i also love manky green surplus, when do you plan on refurbishing?
Wil be a few weeks. Not too long.
@@AnvilAirsoftTV exciting!
Do you guys have any experience with dragon supplies bergens?
Never used one sorry.
@@AnvilAirsoftTV I think it would be an interesting video to talk about tailored kit. Looking for information but there’s not a lot online. Even if it’s just information you’ve heard about a shop.
We don’t really talk about stuff we have no experience of. Wouldn’t be honest.
Bummer about the airsoft content, but I watch this channel for the two of you, so I'll keep my subscription. Good luck with the content "correction".
Manky Green Surplus sounds awesome lol. Think I spend more time collecting old gear than actually putting it to use as well so I'm all for that!
That’s pretty much our feeling!
Still ne doing ration packs and good luck as one of the best video i enjoyed was the 1hour long video on british boots❤
Yup, more of that sort of thing, thanks for the support.
Brilliant, sad that airsoft is being cancelled by social media and Pootoob but glad you can continue making vids, especially if its about mouldy smelly green kit! Thanks Guys :)
Fair enough lads.
I stopped playing airsoft quite some time ago....like yourselves my heart just isn't in it anymore.
More DPM smock content 😂. I'm a sucker for it 👍.
Best of luck mate, just so you know the SR-25 is being used nearly every weekend! Feel free to off-load any more guns to me 🤣
😂 I’m glad it’s being used!
To be honest as an airsoft player myself, I am more interested on the gear such as uniforms, vest and footwear than I am on the actual airsoft gun.
These days that’s us too.
@@AnvilAirsoftTV So you guys will no longer be playing airsoft? Even twice a year?
hopefully, you'll leave all of your old videos up. Anyhow, i'll be along for the ride with MGS.
We wil be.
Real shame, I've enjoyed sharing your videos on First and Only Airsoft social media but the last year or so those shares actually damaged our views on the analytics as Meta blacklisted that post for us. I wanted to help you guys as much as I could with those shares but they were not helping the business I work for.
Thanks. Interesting to hear your perspective. It’s a difficult social media out there for our hobby and businesses.
Really sad that your stopping airsoft stuff your content was great. I’ll have any kit if you need to get rid of it
But what about the manky TAN surplus? WON'T SOMEBODY THINK OF THE TAN SURPLUS!!!!
😂😂😂
I will still collect the guns but not play...i have 9 at the moment but i think i have only ever used 2 at best....plus i dont drive and most airsoft game sites are in the middle of nowhere...you really do need your own transport

Thanks for the kind words. I’ll prob bring back the talk show but not live. Way too stressful.
But will you guys continue to play airsoft?
Skirmishing very unlikely. The occasional heavily themed historical / retro milsim probably
Hi have you set up your new channel yet if so what’s the name again
We’re still working things out. Videos will appear here too.
Black hawk down loadout?? 🤔
If we find someone with a good one yes. Mine is terrible 😂
@@AnvilAirsoftTVsnap 😅
ban hpa
I think there needs to be more performance limits on replicas regardless of the power source.
Neither airsoft or KFC are the same anymore. Good luck with the new content guys!
