What’s Ultimate Airsoft about?
Located in the historic smugglers’ tunnels underneath New Brighton arcades, Ultimate Airsoft is an interactive air gun range that offers great fun in a safe environment. There are 5 different ranges and a variety of weapons and targets and it offers fantastic entertainment and great value for money.
Enjoyed by all ages, a visit includes safety gear hire, weapon hire, ammo, targets and time. It’s particularly popular amongst groups of friends and parties and the underground range can be hired privately — great for birthdays, stag and hen doos and work team building days.

Our visit….
Our Editor visited one afternoon to check out the various ranges and take on his namesake and nemesis, Justin Beiber! He was shown around and given a full safety walk through by the charismatic Manager ‘Iggy’, before trying the various weapons such as the HPA M4 Assault Rifle, 1911 Hi-Capa, Magnum 357 revolver and Bolt Action Sniper Rifle.
It was a great afternoon and Justin (Hopper) got better and more accurate throughout his visit, but the highlight was without doubt taking a grenade launcher to the Justin Beiber target at the end. For a number of years he’s had to endure comparisons to the irritating pop ‘idol’ so to simulate putting an end to Beiber for good was to be most satisfying!
With the high power weapon and its large cylinder lying in front of him, he calmly sent the target of the pretty pop singer down the range and into a reasonable distance. With steady aim, the sounds of ‘baby’ baby, baby oooh’ running through his head and a squeeze of the trigger, BOOM! — the Beiber target was completely obliterated!

A chat with the owners….
Following our visit, we chatted with owners Mike and Emma who told us: “We opened the ranges for the people who don’t want to be shot at, for the people who don’t want or can’t run round fields and derelict buildings, muddy fields. For anyone who just wants to pick up a realistic imitation firearm and have a try. No memberships, no nonsense, fun for all the family (ages 6 and over with an adult).”
They continued: “We opened two years ago and it’s become very popular. We custom made everything and we have a great sound system down there so it’s a really fun, high adrenaline experience. It’s certainly very unique and there’s nothing like this around! We’re really proud of the many great reviews and it’s a really fun, alternative thing to do.”
