Airsoft Society

We are the Cardiff University Airsoft Society (CUAS), proudly one of the oldest and largest airsoft societies in the UK. We hit the field regularly, offering fantastic gameplay opportunities for all skill levels. But it's not all about gamedays—our society is about building a community. We host weekly socials and additional events to bring members together, ensuring that there's more to our society than just the thrill of airsoft battles. Having been founded in 2013, our society boasts an extensive history and big plans for the future ahead.

What is Airsoft?

Airsoft is a combat simulation sport, similar to paintball but without the ridiculous cost or bruises!

Teams of players go head to head in a range of gamemodes. Such as: Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, VIP Escort and much more. But ultimately, your goal is to shoot your opponents!

Unlike paintball, airsoft uses 6mm plastic pellets for ammunition. BBs are significantly cheaper than paintball at around 5% of the cost per shot. They are also much less painful than painballs at 1/10th the energy in each round (meaning no big bruises).

  • - Dragon Valley - Situated on the active military site MOD Caerwent near Newport.
  • - Celtic Country Sports - A great woodland skirmish site overlooking the beautiful Ogmore Castle.

We have also hosted and attended other events such as:
