Acceptable rates of fire

Id happily pay that but needs to be banging hot food available FOC

"there's a time & a place for this crap"

Quite right, you wouldn't whip your Glock out at the local Club Chlamydia.

Good point about the dick-rule covering this issue, and it all being down to proactive, constructive marshalling.

One thing I'd pick up on is the belief that it's OK to flip the wankergun-switch to punish an OMG CHEETAR.  It doesn't solve the underlying problem.  I'm not saying that it's not funny and satisfying to do so, just be honest about why you're doing it.  You're only making the situation worse by escalating it.

On the ultimate sanction, I'd like to see a lot more players getting hoofed right out of the hobby, whether it's for persistent cheating, cheat calling, or wanker-gunning.  I'd be willing to bet that regularly inviting the most toxic player of the day to not come back would pay off in terms of the potential players that get silently lost because of them.  Hard to quantify though.

i can agree there, that's what's largely driven me away from the hobby, the fun bits become routine yet the annoying aspects get no less annoying. kinda arrived at the conclusion that it'll never change as long as this is a sport played by humans.

I like to have a ROF similar to the real steel, but then 95% of the time, I use semi or two round burst.

I have played against others with all sorts of ridiculous rates of fire and I think fair enough if that is what they want.

Even funnier taking these players out with no need for over kill.

Decent toilets always outweigh food. Clean, toilet roll and soap trumps some dodgy hotdog.  Bringing your own food will possibly even remove any desperate need of the site toilet facilities.

Have a turn out before you arrive all’s good ?

I heard dirty burgers are good for your biome ?

More-what-you-call-guidelines-than-actual-rules?

No it’s the rule .

 

[Rogerborg]

No it’s the rule .

I meant, is it actually enforced?

Not a huge deal, it's just that I have much the same concern about chrono, that it only takes a few rogues to spoil it for everyone.

The PPSh has a fearsome rate of fire, at 1250 rpm.  That's 20.8 per second.  Sounds about right for airsoft to me too tbh.

This topic has come up a few times already ?

In my ideal dream world, airsoft pews would have the same rof as their real counterparts.  This would mean there would be actual reasons to choose particular models and there wouldn't be any stupid 30+ rates.

Of course it's just a dream... ?

 

[Davegolf]

I agree realistic ROF would make weapon choice all the more purposeful.

Vectors for hosing ?

Suddenly everyone wants a G11

"Suddenly"?  Got to be one of the most wish-listed ever.  I'm surprised nobody has come up with a bodykit.

Imagine the ignominy of being bayonetted by Kraut Space Magic.

Without exception the most entertaining airsoft games I've played over the last 16 years have been limited ammo games.  I know that won't float on an open day, but I get by just fine with real cap mags, and internally deride the tactical maracas bunch.

Spot on, I played at an old power station in Kent years ago, great morning session, broke for lunch & approx 30 min later the organiser asks for everyones attention, turned around thinking it's the briefing for the next session, next thing stripper music comes on & some bird starts taking her kit off, I turned my back on it & got back to getting my kit in order, at which point I teammate nudges me & says "oy tack, you gone gay", I tell him "I've come to play, not watch some ropey tart get her kit off, there's a time & a place for this crap", load up & head outside. 

Point is, gamedays are for playing, sure you can have some bantz when doing it but hanging around for anything that doesn't involve shooting peeps, not my bag, & if a sites not on top of this, I usually don't go back ?

I was there as well on that day, ShadopOpz at Richborough.  It was the most surreal thing ever.  Stripper parts at the end ?

Poor lass, by the time she got the party favours out, everybody had already lost interest.  Reject degeneracy, return to reloading.

As cold be , obviously you will get the dick’less ass hats who will ignore the rules but it used to be if a marshal did think you where taking the piss they’d keep an eye on the player then do a quick round count to see what they had(if someone’s been hosing the crap out of the other team but STILL has a couple of hundred bbs on them odds are there ignoring the site rules?) so yea did actually world fairly well .

Shit my nana said she was at knitting club.....fine figure of a lady there.

Since we're well off topic now, I heard a player-marshal grumbling after a game that he'd "hit someone, and the cheeky cnut had put his hand up, then ducked back into cover."

I kindly let him know that the cheeky cnut was in fact waving cheerily at him because his BBs were dropping about 3m short.

Perhaps ill advised, but he was already convinced that he was hitting me and would have been salty anyway, so I might as well have fun with it.  

Not really having fun to just inform someone of the facts, how they handle the information you give them is all on them, you're doing nothing wrong by doing that.

Decent human being + low ROF gun =  

Decent human being + high ROF gun = 

Nobber + low ROF gun =  

Nobber + high ROF gun = 

They shamble among us.  Yesterday was a constant litany of "No full auto into the buildings!", over and over and over.  Some people just can't be told, and sites aren't going to kick them out, no matter how often they threaten to do so.

I'd rather that temptation was never put in their paws in the first place.

Could the rule-abiding players not just say hey we're not playing with that/those guys because they keep breaking the rules? Has nobody gone and had an adult conversation with them over it? I know we're supposed to just tut and carry on but sometimes shit needs to be said.
