Little Things That Annoy You In Airsoft

Bang rule. Players taking the piss with it. Marshall's letting players take the piss with it.

IMO, if a weapon has no enforced MED, 1 shot on semi to centre mass is infinitely fairer than twats running round going "bang bang bang" and frankly, if that's deemed to be too painful, you shouldn't be doing airsoft.

Not saying 'blame the site' but I am sure we could all think or name a site that seems to have prevalent cheating/aggression/bad atmosphere among the regulars.

This is why you should chuck a site review in the correct section. I do read them when looking at new sites and even though I take all comments with a pinch of salt as every day, player and peoples points of view are writing with their own biases. But they are useful for things such as bad marshaling or health and safety issues. Cheat calling and the such is part and parcel and worth a mention in a review but more importantly writing about how the staff/site dealt with it.

And im not sure about regulars being favored. A lot of the sites I play at regularly expect regulars to have a higher standards and pull em up more so than anyone else.

Certainly do not agree with aggressive behavior, I agree with The Malls stance on this. Shout and Swear and YOU will be the one taken out of the game first. the staff are their to deal with stuff, getting wound up is not worth it.

I remember one site a regular was getting properly wound up, shouting and swearing every time he got hit, calling out the other team for overkill etc. It was quite uncomfortable as it looked like he was going to explode at one point. Cannot quite remember what happened in the end but I clearly remember hit heading towards an enemy position at one point calling for some fucker to come out here and face me etc... made this 30 something year old look like a teenager!!

I think if your gun has an med then you have a duty to have a secondary weapon. Actually had an incident similar yesterday where a chap called colour on me from around 3m away, I turned to him, he had me bang to rights as my gun was not pointing at him and his was at me. I was about to take the hit until I realised he wasn't allowed to shoot me with it from that range and turned and shot him.Had he pulled a pistol on me or tapped me with the barrel of his vsr I'd have walked myself back to the respawn. We don't run the bang rule.

Nah fuck that If there is a MED a single shot is not as acceptable as the bang rule!.. if a gun has a MED then have a back up. A finger and the word bang is not a substitute for a weapon! Get a rubber knife, pistol or use a gun you are able to use anywhere/anyhow!!

Can imagine a thread now "I have my gun fingers and eye pro ready" can I put a scope on my index finger? "my finger is a snipaaaaa" I can get you from 100M away, I said BANG loudly!!

 

[GiantKiwi]

OK. Another one, people on airsoft forums not taking the 5 second to read the statement made and then taking a post out of context. >.>

 

[Albiscuit]

I was agreeing with you...apologies if it seemed otherwise!

 

[PT247]

I misread his post too, he was not talking about DMRs or BASRs but AEGs and pistols which have no MED

experienced a bit of cheating at the weekend but had one of the best games of my short airsoft life, i just try to brush it aside and aim elsewhere if i see the same player again

even had my brother moan to me that a guy wasnt taking his hits after emptying a few hi caps at his position, so i told him to either empty the hi cap on him again and moan or sneak round the side of the building, creep through and shoot him from the other side....he chose that method and was happier after.

myself and another guy were accused of not taking hits, a guy with a SAW claimed he hit us but we stood there with a marshall and he clearly saw we were right, bb's were no where near us....so we shot him!

Its a shame though that people cheat, its not like your game is over once hit, but we all have to live with it and its not something that will go away very soon unless we go to laser tag, and some of us do not notice we are hit due to what we are wearing, its a game of 'honesty' and some just arent

i will attend again as im not letting the minority ruin it as its a fun site to play at, B)

Would be interested to know where you played at the weekend?

 

[Albiscuit]

Still think the bang rule is rubbish... I get surrendering, but gun fingers have no place in Airsoft.

As you are spot on, if there IS an MED (this is where I misread the post) it is up to the player to have a back up ready and be quick and good enough to draw and fire it rather than any other way, bang or not!

 

[Queensman 995]

OK how about when your weapon gets hit. And you can resort to a secondary weapon . VIEWS ON THAT GOOD OR OPEN TO ABUSE

Give them the chance if you have the drop on them and had no idea you were there, if they even turn to look or look suspicious then 1 shot centre mass is fair. But I totally agree the bang rule is rubbish.

Site I play at tell you to shout WEAPON HIT and carry on. I know of a site that says you have to drop to a secondary if your weapon is hit.

Personally I prefer the first option, sometimes you dont have a secondary.

Everything is open to abuse. We have to allow for fair play and expect people to be sensible otherwise safety and rule briefs would be so confusing trying to cover all eventualities. Just play fair remember its a game and have fun above all else!!

 

[Oli.Hanks]

Mixed feelings on this. Yes all airsofters should be nice to players whether new or not but as for tactical it depends what you mean. Playing with a bit of thought yes but getting all Geardo weekend super soldier hell no.Yes sites who blatantly ignore health and safety should be named but not ones where people think there are cheaters.

Yeah I'll giggle when I see some guy so geared up his mag pouches have magpouches to hold spare mag pouches and screaming contact at the top of his lungs but I'd never go up to him and like say your a douche or anything haha its just how people make the game theirs

 

[PopRocket123]

Gotta love pulling off some crazy push, charging through enemy fire and surviving impossible odds, only to be got by a grenade dropped out of the window of the building you were hiding behind. Can't help but feel like a bit of a tw*t

Incorrect pronounciations.

Marui - Ma-roo-ee NOT Mauri the Latin designation for the Berber population of Mauretania

King Arms - NOT Kings Arms, that sounds like a pub.

PTS - NOT Magpul as some still seem to think...

 

[AshOnSnow]

I don't eat meat which I imagine make it difficult at most sites since if they serve food at all, it's either a basic burger or a hot dog, but the folks over at RIFT are pretty good and are happy to whip up a tasty veg burger for me or something else if I ask in advance, and at specials - night games and stuff, they always include a full hot meal and free hot drinks throughout the night.

+1 on players using heavyweight BBs and telling the marshals they're .20s just to get through chrono test, haven't seen it personally though since the sites I've used don't chrono or tag, and have high FPS limits anyway - 500 for semi auto and sniper, including pistols and DMR.

MagPul - it's a shortening of two words from which they marketed their signature accessory - Magazine Pullers

Lol the branch that looks like a camo'd up sniper barrel.

Some are PTS

Some are Magpul PTS

Some are Magpul

Two are distinct brands but all three have different products. I can forgive people for getting it wrong unless they're selling the stuff

I'm fairly sure he's driving at people mis-designating brands on items (particularly when selling them). Magpul PTS stuff is typically cheaper/less well made than Magpul MOE and since PTS lost the licensing they've not made a Magpul PTS product in about 4 years.

Maybe kind of certain ghillie suit wearing players...I mean, not everyone who wears a ghillie suit, of course, but the kind of player who has a terrible attitude and also wears a ghillie suit, which somehow makes their terrible attitude even worse.

Example: A skirmish back in November at a woodland site. The trees and bushes are dead, and the floor is 100% orange leaves. Enter ghillie player, who due to his surroundings is even more visible than everyone else because he's the only bush that isn't essentially just a pile of sticks. I'm hiding at the front of my team (on the 'line' as such), and I see him crawl towards me, perhaps 10 meters away. He's lying down at the foot of a dead bush, and he aims his rifle to my four o' clock. He takes a few shots. I have a good look at him, because I can't see an armband, but his left arm (where the other teams armband would be) is blocked from my view. Plus, he was crawling from the direction of the enemy, and he's shooting in the direction of my team. So I shoot him.

Friendly fire. The guy gets up and starts having a go at me. I apologise, and say 'well where's your armband gone?'

He stops, and with his left hand lifts up about three layers of ghillie on his right arm to reveal a barely visible blue armband, before calling me a tosser and walking off.

Of course. Why didn't I spot that.

He stomped around for the rest of the day looking miserable. Probably because his ghillie wasn't making him invisible.
