Airsoft tantrums

[lukeB]

I normally give out a 'dude, ffs' to convey my displeasure when i'm team killed at short range.

Then 10 seconds later its forgotten. Yet to have any real arguments. 

I've noticed that people tend to get more ratty towards the end of the day, hits also seem to hurt more. Tiredness,  adrenaline wearing off maybe?

 

[Druid799]

Not seen any dildos though I have seen a rubber chicken used for knife kills.

I'm usually too tired to through a strop anyway. 

If we are sharing Mall stories, this young guy thought it would be funny to pretend to stick to the velcro on my upper arm, no reaction.  Then he opened and closed the UBACS pocket a couple times, still no reaction.  He must have been disappointed.

After humping up and down the escalators a few times I had no energy to even bother to react, plus the marshall was stood right there, so good thing I wasn't bovverd ?

Normally water and ducks backs and all that I genuinely do like having a really good laugh on game days , just I think he was getting a bit carried away and unfortunately I was probably hot and knackered (can you be any other way at the Mall ?) and just bad timing ?

Last game I played, probably a month or so now.

There was a few cheaters, likely rentals. Marshals kept having words with them yet everyone was still in good spirits as they usually called the 2nd/3rd hits (no blatant godmode probably just not regisering)

But this one guy, lol. Hoodie, jeans or casual clothing. probably a rental or new. Comes creeping up behind a tree maybe 40m away, easy shot. Tag him in the chest area and he immediately starts shooting at me/my team and runs to a different tree. I pop him once more with my sniper and whippeth the pistol out and empty the clip. 6 teammates all within 10-15m of me also lighting this guy up full auto.

Once he had enough pain he puts his hand up and i'm laughing my arse off, casual comment to my mate "he took it then" and this guy just fucking flips "OF COURSE I CALLED IT YOU FUCKING KNOBBER" before huffing off to his respawn.

He must have been hit a good 80 times in that tiny amount of time. Hilarious stuff.

I've seen a couple of people acting all huffy cause they got a tooth shot out too. And someone throw his pistol at a barricade cause it wasn't working. But for the most part the only times i see people acting like dicks are on youtube lol.

Could be worse, kid at one game managed to take a good 15s railing from a bunch of us including me genuinely worrying about burning out my mates arp that i'd borrowed.

He didnt even duck so we were happy to keep continuing until he got the message. There was a fair amount of that sort of shenanigans on site that day.

Caught the same kid at the end of the game walking back to spawn spraying everything in site on full auto. No fixing some folk....

Funnily enough almost all my moments of "sense of humour failure" have happened at the Mall. Generally if it gets to the point that I feel like I might let rip at someone I just go find a quiet corner and chill for a bit, maybe even leave the game and sit in the safe zone (doing exactly that afforded me the opportunity to see someone doing the precise opposite last trip there - losing your shit at the marshals is a quick route to being banned from site, who knew?).

Last trip to the Mall was probably one of the worst to date for people annoying the crap out of me to be honest but equally there were some games that featured some of the best play I've seen. ROugh with the smooth and all that.

 

[Nicky blue eyes]

Only really seen it twice in the two years of me playing one was a bloke that just flipped at some of mates. In all fairness he'd over heated and need some water and time out. But at the end of the day he was alright. The second was  rental guy  that wouldn't call his hits. So he got hosed and properly lost it. Also giving every excuse under the sun why he didn't call to the site team. The player that shot him  even apologized and tried to explain why he got peppered but to no avail. Promptly leaving saying how sh#t it all was and taking his family with him. Nice example to you kids mate!

 

[leggylicious]

The warm up games at Absolute are pretty fun, tactical statues;you need to be shot by a teammate once hit to respawn where you died. Last team standing wins and you can bet in 5 minutes you've been peppered lots. By then a few overshots mean nothing. I remember tagging @leggylicious about ten times with an arse cheek shot under 10ms.

See i love that game when played right i love being covered so i can nuke the hell out of other team and don`t care how close you are to tag me back in so longs as we win like we did

Worst I have ever seen was a rental at Urban Assault.  He was walking up the road straight through the middle of the fight, I (and another team member) both ask him if he was hit as we didn't want to shoot an already dead player.  He replies by fully auto-ing a dead player from our team in the back from around 2m away.  So naturally I shoot him, as does the guy next to me.  Needless to say he doesn't take the hit and continues walking off after random members of our team hosing people down.  We go get a Marshall, who he then tries to fight, starts offering people out on site.  He failed to realise I was a police officer (albeit military) as was another Marshall and another player was a serving civilian officer.  Spent 20 minutes trying to fight with Marshalls who just wanted him off site by this stage, randomly offering people out saying he was a boxer and would knock everyone out.  I swear he was coked up or on something.  Never seen anything like it before or since at airsoft.

 

[Ballist1x]

The worst incident I've seen is a dead player standing still with his hand clearly up get shot at close range by a psuedo-speed-softer through an unforced error.  On being fairly politely asked to be more careful, the shooter went off on an extended sarcastic rant about folk being there to get shot, oh no, small plastic BBs, how awful for him.  Being an egregious dick, in other words, rather than a 2 second "Sorry mate, my bad" since it was indeed his bad.  I told the dead player that it was well out of order, and did he want me to go with him to find a marshal, which he didn't.

That happened on my 2nd outing, so I didn't chase it up myself.  If I saw anything similar happening now, I'd be taking numbers and putting the site's "Don't be a dick" rule to the acid test.

Fortunately, it's been very rare.  Brief yelling from folk being hit can indeed be shrugged off as an instinctive adrenaline reaction.

Why not just shoot up the speedsofter?

I have calmed myself down a few times at the Mall. Especially when you can see people not taking hits, and you go toward them to get a description and they greet you with "What, Fam?"...?

However, when I went to Airsoft Plantation recently, I was keeping some boys in a bush for quite a while, apparently they did not know where I was shooting from each time I went there although they kept shooting me, so explain that one. Regardless, someone shouted your'e not 30 meters away for full auto, prick.. So I went over, explained that, should he have said, you arent far away enough i'd have taken a hit and agreed with a marshall if i was/wasnt far enough away and re adjust or go back there. Ended up calling him a miserable old man (that is definitely what I said) and walked off, he came upto me later and shook my hand and said good shooting... Don't get it. People get very argumentative, especially when it's hot, as do I, but if someone argues a point with me with respect, i'll normally take a hit and leave it at that. Don't get arsy and dicky with me, otherwise i'll be a douche back and make you look stupid ?

I remember being at Anzio and a group of Milsim monkeys turned up thinking they were the dogs....

They whinged when I shot one guy in the gap in his plate carrier under the armpit...? Apparently it was uncalled for? Ok.

Best was in the embassy building; one of them was scouring the rooms and I shot him once in the back after he didnt check his corner. He called it and walked off chuntering to himself because he'd been killed by a 'normal person' and he was better than that. Bless.

Funny how "toy" guns make you feel powerful eh? I bet the only thing stopping the marshals sticking a knee in his neck till he calmed down was the threat of a lawsuit xD

 

[EvilMonkee]

The only thing that calmed him down was the 4 marshalls and two coppers getting him the heck off the site.  Biggest cockwomble I have ever seen.

Unless you have super aim or were less than 10 metres away, not sure how you could aim for an armpit on purpose on a moving target.  I certainly couldn't hit one on purpose unless I was close up on a moving target

Chap never said any of that , there’s loads of ways you could get popped in the pit , moving up or down stairs/chicken winging it/leaning out a window/ list goes on ? ?

Yes but he was accused of doing it on purpose, was saying I didn't see how it could have been on purpose, so can't see why they got upset.

IIRC, both of us rounded the same corner quite quickly and had a split second to react. I was using my sidearm; a tm FN5-7. I double tapped; first shot missed and the second hit him as described. He semi auto'd about 4 or 5 shots, missed them all. Next thing I know, he and his 2 teammates behind him were having a go. The engagement distance was about 4 or 5 feet. Marshall sided with me as he saw it all. If I can find the go pro footage, I'll upload it, but it was a good few years ago and I've had a new laptop since then so I doubt I have it.

 

[Solly4568]

Worst I have seen was from my own brother. dun dun der?!!! It was our first time playing and he was wearing snow camo in the middle of a forest which made him easy to identify ?. He was refusing to call his hits and it got a point where one of the regulars gave me his 40mm launcher to blast him out of a tower. Let me tell you there is nothing like a 40mm to make a person call his hits ?

 

[Huxley]

I dare to think what he'd look like, doesn't look good in my head so I'd imagine worse irl.

Bet he had rather a large chip on his shoulder.

 

[P13]

People not calling hits winds me up the most, usually take the grenade launcher and hunt for them after they’ve cheated once. 

I find 120 bbs usually forces them to call it, and usually gets me called a wanker too. Win Win if you ask me
