    Competitive But Not Speedsoft

    You talk about the hit taking system as taking out non hit taking complaints. Unfortunately, these complaints are primarily caused by the fact that airsofters think they're much better shots than they actually are.  The complaints will still be there, but they'll be : 'I hit him somewhere the...

    Competitive Airsoft

    So, on topic.  I think, as has been elucidated briefly by others earlier, the dangerous part of 'competitive' airsoft is generally  the over competitive attitude, whether that's a hpa rifle filling the air with bbs at no concern to the safety of other players, or a super tactical elephant...

    Plate Carriers - What are they actually for in Airsoft?

    Worked well for what it was.  DCS - bulk and heat. Might just be in my own head (similar to my feelings about kneepads, can't get on with them even nice brands), but I felt restricted in upper body movement.  Switched to the slimmer Recon, which helped on the restriction aspect but still warm...

    Plate Carriers - What are they actually for in Airsoft?

    Both of the main Warrior offerings, a jpc clone, and a couple of different China clones of varying styles. Now much happier with a Haley D3 if I need to carry stuff, or a belt rig if I don't.

    Plate Carriers - What are they actually for in Airsoft?

    Individual carriers and setups may vary - I found that anything with any kind of replacement plates in didn't flex, and anything without flapped around.

    Plate Carriers - What are they actually for in Airsoft?

    Picture doesn't show how thin it is - less than an inch. Thinner than most jackets. Having played in both, a plate carrier is both more obstructive and warmer..though the second point might vary depending on what you use as plate replacements.

    Plate Carriers - What are they actually for in Airsoft?

    So the 'Pro' for plate carriers appears to be that they have just blank Molle so can be customised to suit.  With that in mind, why a PC over something like the Blackhawk Strike Vest? Cheaper, lighter (so easier to feel hits through and cooler temperature wise), more molle space to use. Imo the...

    What COLOUR flashlight/torch would you recommend?

    I like red. Keeps me from blinding myself on splashback from the walls, preserves my night vision if I have to double check where my feet are on stairs. White as above better for blinding but I don't find blinding that useful. People peeking corners tend to duck back (and thus avoid the slower...

    First Time at the Mall

    Obviously the records are sealed, but the most gross things pulled out of that toilet were sourced from geardos. Rentals are a cakewalk by comparison.

    Memes to chill the f#ck out

    Can confirm Trigger is ginger as they come. Bottom of his feet are perfectly flat, no soles. Plus all the asshole stuff is true too. Can't stand the guy.

    To give strangers BBs or not

    I'm on the side of the soft hearted charitable nitwits, even after experience to the contrary... I've often thrown a pistol or nade to someone - if I'm shot out of the last game on a night with no more respawn, I generally give any unused gear to players still in the fight (nades etc)... have...
