The amount of people on this thread advocating shooting to yield is quite eye opening. Thats is just not on even if they are a filthy cheat.

If they didn't want to get shot again, should have called it earlier

it's a tricky one.
whilst that statement in and of itself isn't strictly toxic, there's a poisonous yet alluring draw to go further. it's the first step on a road of escalation that leads you to open every engagement with overkill regardless of wether or not the target needed that much persuasion.
we've all seen it, first game of the day is pretty chill, but one or two bad apples, or at least the perception of them snowballs into everyone just unloading at first sight to "make sure hits get called" or at least the feeling that if they're going to ignore it, you'll make them regret it.
thing is some folk are clad in whatever the opposite of a starfleet red shirt is and there is literally no amount of dakka that will get through to them, a lesson learned by following the rabbit hole the whole way down to the mitchell and webb "are we the baddies" poster at the bottom.

Yeah it just ends up being a shitter for everyone if you start playing Filipino Rules ngl.
I do agree with just firing follow up shots in principle - you might have missed, hit a pouch, or a tiny twig - but I don't think you wanna flick to Auto and burn people's patch by default.

I follow up with a single shot if i'm not sure, anything else is overkill. If they don't take it, i'll just wander off to vent to a Marshal, they'll deal with it and if they don't, I just don't go back to the site. Simples.
I'm pretty sure I get more people taking hits from the noise of the recripocating BCG, than actual hits at this point though.

I usually do a few more follow-up shots, if they still don't take the hit, me and my squad will hunt them until they do lol
I Marshall more than I play so I get to observe better more than most players. There are very few players that intentionally don't take hits, most Airsoft players can't judge distance and can't shoot for shit. This mentality breaks the golden rule don't be a dick! Maybe they didn't take the hit maybe you missed either way by mag dumping in some one you are intending to inflict pain on some one for what might be your failure to hit them. By all means take follow up shots, change position, get closer. Never take the law into your own hands and never do something to some one you wouldn't want done to yourself. Marshalls are there for a reason if there is some one cheating get them to deal with itIf they didn't want to get shot again, should have called it earlier
