heavy is a spy!!

Running away? Me? Never!

Tactical retreat then? Regrouping further away from the enemy? Flanking in the wrong direction?

Loz, the levels of friendly fire was huge

Gotta love a bit of blue on blue! I remember getting rinsed on full auto in the back of the head by someone right behind me (literally 3 feet away) because he "didn't see me".

That's a disgrace.

I once got shot in the back by a guy with a fully kitted out TM VSR, including decent looking optics- how he didn't see my team armband in the 5 minutes I was there is a mystery...

I shot a guy in the back of the head from about 2 metres after he asked me to cover him and dodged left and then right into my fire as he ran. Felt bad even though it was his fault.

It happens. Most people at skirmishes are not ex special forces, so they don't know trigger and fire selector discipline, and often do not know how to advance properly, so it is inevitable we'll take some FF every once in a while.

Sorry that may have been me. I was hit from the back aswell a few times . It hurts getting shot in the ass

You don't need to be ex forces to know how to open your bloody eyes though.

Jambo, I know it wasn't you most of the time. Most of it were from that family unit playing. Twatted in the back at least four times by them just during the hostage game

It's more a case of common sense over actual military training when it comes to shooting someone in the back with a toy gun

It isn't always the shooter's fault however. Good safety & trigger discipline (and opening your bloody eyes lol) help, but plenty are guilty of advancing into a line of fire. Providing covering fire to allow someone to advance is fairly basic infantry stuff, but there will be people who stupidly move into that field of fire because they are not maintaining situational awareness.

They may indeed be 'toy guns', but the fact that they are is a function of the desire to keep us safe rather than the desire to be childish in how we go about stuff.

to be fair, if, cqb its often to dark to identify who is who and so you shoot the guys on the other side rather. also in real if you shoot 8 hostile and one team member, you killed him!! while if same happens in airsoft, you not unlikely still contributed to the team. This turns into a cycle, since its "shoot first, ask questions later", if you don't, they will, so you have to, so they have to and so on. On top of that, majority of airsoft is combat, meaning everyone is al...

...always ready for an attack. Try to storm a room, then properly identify everyone in it before shooting.

pretty annoying as its always the guy that progressed far that gets shot in the back^^

Unless you have some team that is trained and disciplined like a crack SWAT squad, you're always gonna get cluster*cks on CQB, and the one who takes the lead probably is gonna get shot up the ass. It's just the way it is with people who are not used to working as a squad.

One issue with this is that when hit nobody puts their hand up. So I have no idea if people are hit. Then they complain when they're shot.
