It's pretty hard to hit when you don't have a weapon that can safely engage at that range!

He was perhaps 10 m away as I recall not that it matters. If he had made physical contact then I would have taken a knife kill no question.

This is mainly why I think I would do the same again

So basically sportsmanship wise I should have taken the hit, I would agree with that in principle. However I'm always uneasy about taking any hit unless the opponent has actually hit me, you only have to watch this video from 1:06 to see why: The possibility of getting the dead mans click or missing is always there. Also I would say that if you want an extra 150 fps or so then you should be aware that when entering dense cover you're probably not going to be able to deal with a situation like the one we found ourselves in unless you have a secondary..... fair trade in my books. I wonder what peoples thoughts are on a situation where a sniper with his rifle up and no secondary or with his secondary stowed and a non sniper meet round a corner, usually you'd probably both fire and take a hit but what about in this situation only one player can fire legally? I would never ask a sniper who I had the drop on but who was just beyond the edge of my non sniper weapon range to take a hit, I would have to advance on him further and risk being spotted / heard.

Hi all, Going to take some flak for this I suspect but here we go anyway! During a game recently I was making my way through some dense head height cover and had been for some time when I heard someone behind me say words to the effect of "Player take a hit". I turn and see someone pointing a sniper rifle at me who has just entered the cover and come across me suddenly well within the minimum engagement distance. I asked if he had hit me and he said that he couldn't fire because he was too close. So I fired a single shot on semi into his chest, to his credit he immediately called hit but said that I should've taken my hit, to which I replied that he should have engaged with his alternate weapon, he then said he didn't have one a little sheepishly and walked off. It was a large event so I didn't see him again unfortunately. Basically im after thoughts on how I handled the situation, with hindsight I basically think that: A) he did have me to rights so I should've taken a hit..... but, he chose to play as a sniper and one of the things you give up in return for extra fps is the ability to engage in that situation, if you still want to then you carry a secondary end of. I should say that if he had tried to get close enough for a knife kill, with rubber knife or pat on back then I would happily have taken a hit, but he chose not to risk doing that. What do we reckon, what would you have done?

Very nice

I quite like using the reflex sight actually, makes it easier to keep situational awareness. I think I will be adding a large solid stock or crane stock though, the stubby can be annoying sometimes

My current main weapon, JG SR-25 with CA M203 and reflex sight. For some reason it's appallingly accurate! I absolutely love this gun, it is too much for CQB (even without the launcher!) however so I need to pick up something at the arms fair on the 9th.
