I agree with you he is a nob end

Had no problems before covid came but now so unfit. I have built a HPA kythera DMR and plan on using that at Wycombe but Saturday is Sentinel so Polarstar at 350 with Krytac as backup and for the indoor part. Do or die or you could say use it or loose it. I always said it not the age but the mileage. My knees are shot after a life of plumbing and pipe fitting

I am 67 and planning to play this Saturday but I am righting checks my body is finding hard to cash

Who is the oldest player you play with? At what age do you think old farts should stop playing?

Non hit taking spoils so many games and leaves a bad taste.

I am collecting mine Tears

Sorry nodded off there

I have had my rant here instead of on site LOL. Yes a good aeg with 28BBs or above will hit 60M maybe even 65 but a lot of the knobs out there do not set their guns up or get their hop to work as it should. Had to replace the hop rubber on the DMR after Sunday as it started to spray erratically towards the end. My son in law found it too much and just quit after shooting the opposition and then being shouted at to take his hits when the BBs they shot did not reach him.

That is why I tried out a scope cam 4K and used my head cam at the weekend the scope cam is a piece of junk do not buy terrible images and sound. Every one get a gopro hero 8 black or spend a grand on a camera scope if you want to see a BB at long distance. I have very good scopes I used with full bore rifles but they would be wasted on airsoft. If someone made a good gun mounted zoom in camera BB proof for airsoft with good sound and video I WOULD BUY IT! Not if it is PLASTIC. A gopro is there to prove to people you are taking your hits as well as showing when they do not take theirs but as you say distance hides a bb and frequently a clear picture of the player you are trying to hit. I was surprised the first time I range tested with a friend how poor my (perfect hopped AEGs) were distance wise 350 FPS has its limits. A DMR on 450 FPS with the right weight BBs does help but people forget their engagement distances and always seem to try for head shots and that is when people get hurt. On Sunday at a distance of 5 or 6 feet I shot a player body shot as he came around a corner he was dead but he still fired at me after being shot, I took the hit and walked.

One final thing airsoft is an enjoyable game played by people on an HONOUR based system, you get hit you call it you walk away......... I hate the idiots that wish to escalate everything IT IS A GAME!!!! You idiots out there yelling I hit you when the BBs are landing 10 or 20 feet short all the time get a friend with face pro and get him to walk towards you from 80m then you will see your true range and I tell you it is less than you think and less than it looks from behind the gun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Think about that the next time you play.

I would say that at the start of the day : I did talk to the marshals and they were aware of what I intended to do: I would say when at the age of 58 I would have run rings round most of the unfit kids I meet at airsoft with a few exceptions. I always try not to get into slanging matches with even the worst cheaters and when possible start my day with a 350 fps AEG, if I encounter cheats I change to my DMR and heavy weight BBS. It is not easy to say you are not being hit when the pain is making you dance.

Well I am 66 and have a real problem now with my knees (no cartilage) and ankle (plate and 5 screws in that) with walking long distances. which is why I force myself to do airsoft for the exercise plus I love it wish I had discovered it earlier when I could run. I do take my hits always but I do not walk all the way back to respawn as I would not survive a complete day, I walk back far enough to be well out of range and normally take a seat without my gun in hand and look for someone on my team that is killed and wait till they have been to respawn and have passed me on the way back in then I rejoin.

it still winds me up yesterday at High Wycombe was a classic example two guys in chapel were shot close up by my son in law so they walked but then reappeared and shot him. He took the hit and complained to a Marshall. Nothing was done! A fall back game were they had only one life at each objective. i was attacking from another direction I shot them both well within my range and so did a chap in front of me no they did not take the hits! I have it all on camera including me attacking the same spot three times calling my hits when shot by them. I complained very gently to the lovely lady Marshall and eventually they seemed to vanish. I found out after that my son in law had left the game at this point in frustration as did I. Even their own teammates had told the Marshall they were cheating, the marshalls friends I believe!
