what it boils down to is "if the rules are followed then is there an issue?" for example if you were hit by a sniper who was running within the limits of both energy and MED, would you consider it too uncomfortable? if the answer is no then the problem is not the rule, it's the enforcement.

so i done went and looked at the page, i may be slightly regretting it...... Jesus Christ there are some obsessed people on there, if they aren't trolling then they really need to rethink what they're doing with their lives.

i'm also down for noseying at what these people are saying if we're spreading links. had a quick google but all i found was km himself ranting about the dutch banning bb's above .4g

i'd call them veterans, to me the phrase veteran applies to anyone who's been on a 2-way firing range.

y'know its an interesting issue. not all of the uk has the luxury of the 1.3/2.5j limit and some places are stuck at a flat 1j. and guess what- folks still run hot. indeed when caught out it's always "oh that spring was for when i went to the mainland for a game, musta forgot to change it back" or some bullshit excuse along those lines. what that says to me is that the allowable limit isn't the problem, it's the proper enforcement of said limit to ensure a level playing field. it worries me how so very easily i could run at higher energies when sites barely chrono at the start of the day, don't understand the difference between fps/joules (let along joule creep), and sure as hell don't chrono mid-game. indeed as i recounted in another thread the only time i've ever had an hpa reg zip tied was when i did it myself to demonstrate to the marshals it was a thing you could do.

is it bad that i assume the vast majority of folk who really have been involved in spoopy shenanigans as part of a special forces unit don't talk about it/make it public (presumably with some level of official secrets paperwork in the background) at least until they retire and are far enough out of the game that the stories they have aren't of immediate political relevance?

for me it's either relatively short aka hipfire, or very long (aka i'm out of ammo and i'm just plinking at that point) but more important is how rarely i use a pistol at all, certainly with any serious intention at least.

agreed. i think the biggest part is when you forget the stupidity of what is essentially playing dress-up hide and seek. it's why i love people who do the unusual/crazy stuff, helps reminds us that sure you might be dressed up in full military grade gear with the most realistic looking pew pew gun on the field but that won't stop you getting hit by some joker dressed as batman from the Adam west days running around with a single action army because he can. whilst i'm kinda tempted to try the milsim side of things, and i'm game for a bit of mock command structure/team integration or objectives beyond merely inventive ways of dressing up team deathmatch, what puts me off is the feeling that there are too many of the holier-than-thou types who'll sneer because your boots haven't walked a thousand miles in Afghanistan or your holding your m4 wrong etc. of course i hope that impressions wrong.

you kidding me!? there's PEOPLE out there, nah i'm cool under my rock thanks, i've got the dank just how i like it.

as @Lozart suggests the metric fucktonne is heavier than the imperial fuckton, unless you're using the older unit aka the fucking long ton crapton is the weight equivalent of the fucktonne, ie weight in craptons=mass in fucktonnes*9.81m/s² of course the metric designations also accept the usuai SI mega, giga, tera etc prefixes.

or you could say that indoors are for people who are too fat to run around, too stingy to have good gats, and too lazy to learn how to sneak properly on the off chance someone takes that seriously i'm taking the piss....

in that case doubly would i be walking and never coming back. ignorance can be excused on the one-off but willful favoritism? nope. sites should be cable tying hpa regs as a standard part of chrono, but the only time it's ever been done to me was when i voluntarily did it myself to show the marshalls that it was a thing you could do.

that was an asshole, if the site didn't at the very least kick him off the field for that (or better yet permanently ban him) then i'd be getting my money back and walking.

i can kind of see the point you're trying to make, although i'm not sure it's the best anecdote. possibly the issue is people that care enough about performance to be happy dropping that amount of cash are also not put off by the process involved in tweaking an aeg.

been trying to sum it up but this is pretty much the same lines as my thinking. an asshole is an asshole wether he hunts cavities or scuds for a living.

unless you're running true wanker rate of fire (and tbh even if you are) if it's properly maintained (cleaned and greased every now and then) the reliability is much better than an aeg of equivalent performance. the simpler systems like the polarstar jack are stupidly easy to take apart for servicing although it's not the best system for accuracy. mate of mine had a fusion engine for 5+ years with zero servicing still perfectly functional. the only reason i ever took mine apart was to do things like swap poppets/nozzles for setup reasons rather than to fix any problems. the good thing about rate of fire is if its too fast for the box you just turn it down until the box can feed. have a read here will give you a better idea of what's involved, fitting an engine is actually pretty easy- it's dialing it in to perfection is hard.

true, it would take work, but taking an aeg and building it up would pass better in most people's minds than dropping a lot on the gun all at once. i do want a tw5 at some point, because i want an mp5 and i dont think any of the gbbr versions are gonna suit my circumstances. but it's still a lot of cash to build up.

sounds like a pretty accurate description. must admit systema is a brand i have yet to understand. different mechanism that yeilds good performance yes, very high quality yes, but from what i've seen of them running i wouldn't say they shoot than what you can acheive with a regular aeg if you know what you're doing. the spring swap is a consideration, but for example on a flat limit (eg if you only play outdoors, or play somewhere with a fixed energy limit for all guns) it's kind of a moot point. of course that's a passing impression, and i get the feeling that it's one of those "you have to own one to understand" kind of deals.

yeah but what do they know about cqb? the other argument is nature-how many animals, predatory or otherwise are truly black (as opposed to variations of dark browns, greys or blues)?

you forget sir that it is hard-wired in the British genome to moan about everything that is indeed taking things too far. being an ass on the internet isn't grounds for that kind of retaliation. besides, as much as we like to rip on km it's not like he's in any way the only one pulling the same shenanigans and arguably is still better than all those American "fights and flipouts" compilation videos out there.

eh, we're all bored shut-ins at the minute, might as well have a bit of drama remind us airsoft still exists.

the few times i've run indoors i've just ran my normal outdoor kit and it's been fine. it's no different to cqb player turning up outdoors in full black kit.

tbh i can't entirely put that specific scenario down to malice, the guy on-site was pretty dead on and noticeably more honest in play than most of the clientele (it's a bad site for cheating). for all i know he just didn't bother checking the site specific rules and made an erroneous assumption. it was more to point out that regardless of how big or small the channel, you can't take video claims at face value. if you're just watching for entertainment it's fine but as with everything on the internet take it with a huge pinch of salt and use your own judgement. it's an evolutionary process, start doing yt for a bit of fun, randomly encounter a legit cheater in the wild, publish video, get that first pile of admonies, think "hey this is a lark" and start seeking them out. of course there comes a point where you aren't going to find enough naturally occurring drama to feed the machine so you have to fabricate your own. and that's where we've ended up. problem is if folk beleive the fantasy then you can either admit to the lie or as it seems km is doing double down and end up pulling stunts like this. tbh if i were the site i'm not sure what to think, on the one hand you're gonna be getting bad rep and losing players but on the other hand if the people you're losing are the kind of people who buy into the persona did you really want them in the first place?

it's worth noting that not all smaller creators are immune from this kind of practice. mate of mine fell victim to this when a wannabe sniper claimed in a video "this guy doesn't call a gun hit, all the sites i've played at gun hits count" when the reality is the rules for the site where it was filmed the rules are very definitely that gun hits don't count (not even required to switch to secondary).
