Put your dicks away boys, this isn't Facebook. 

That's not what I asked.
 
I get that you're trying to be an "ok m8 wuteva" edgelord, but you know that response isn't right.
 
The site being popular is exactly why they can and should smack that bitch up.

it says a lot about sites round here that i have literally never been honesty shot by a marshall, or on-the-spot chrono'd
 
2 things i wouldn't mind, if anything it'd feel reassuring that it's being done.

indeed, i left a site recently because of their consistent failure to do anything about the standard of play.
 
don't get me wrong, you're never going to escape from cheating/general douchery but a site you can have faith that telling the marshalls there's an issue will result in some form of action has value.

No, write them off for their inaction over the issue. 
 
Every site has incidents and problems, - it’s how they deal with them that counts. 
 

They're in control of their response to it.
 
They talked to the guy and he said it wasn't intentional.  Well, what else is he going to say? "Lol, get rekt scrubs, I'll step on anything I want."
 
Would you be happy trusting that player anywhere near your gear?

FB is basically a shithole for all communities and attracts (and brings out) the worst in people. If UCAP and various Milsim companies didn't use it for arranging events I would be long gone.
 
Oh, and Zuck is the morally bankrupt reanimated corpse of HP Lovecraft 🤣

yeah
 
i mean objectively that's a pretty funny reply whilst also probably being a pretty damn accurate prediction of the results.

Obviously the FB admin is a TM fanboi, & considered your comment to be heresy against our holy lord marui 🤣

all i can say is he's gonna be screwed if he asks that question at a game, no censorship on the safe zone.....

Honestly fuck Facebook at this point. Someone asked about putting CO2 mags in a TM FN57 and I commented this. Not an unreasonable response. Apparently that was considered bullying and my comment got deleted and I got barred from posting or commenting on anything for 24hrs. 

May sound harsh but I can't help but think the site should have advised that they'll give him the benefit of the doubt but he needs to cover the cost of inspection and repairs from a reputable tech as a gesture of good will with an alternative option of a site ban. I realise it's unenforceable but for me, if I were in that situation, I'd want to make sure that the guys gun was as it should be as an apology. This is assuming he didn't offer to do so already which, based off the information we have, doesn't appear to be the case.

Dont see enough SCAR H out in the wild and that looks top draw 
 
To add to the painted theme, here is my Digital Camo M249
 
 

I'm not sure tbh - Although I haven't decided if I'll ever skirmish it.
I got it just cos it's so goshed darned purdy!

I regret every day I found an excuse not to go now.   We're none of us on a rehearsal.
 

 
 
They went quite quiet during lockdown and after they didn't re-open ASAP I figured something was up.
 
 
 
I'm not even sure it's down to that, it's just that the building owner needs to find something that brings in more money than airsoft, laser tag, and some electric dirt bikes.  Either that or they'll just knock the place to the ground to cut their losses.
 
 
 
Biohazard on the West Coast, a decent enough site but nowhere near as big or with as much potential for variety.  It's a 70 mile round trip for me, which is when you have to start factoring the costs of that in as well.
 
 
 
They're saying yes, and they certainly know how to run a site.  But they've got literally tons of cover to remove, store, and rebuild, and the costs of running in commercial premises are high - I fear that airsoft will always be a tenant of last resort, and we'll be given the flick the moment the landowner gets a sniff of anything better.

Well, that's that then.
 
"Formerly Scotland's largest indoor airsoft arena, 150,000 square feet of CQB action in the heart of Glasgow. Closed in September 2020."
 
The building owner have just turfed them out, after years of them developing the site.
 
Saddened, but not surprised, after looking up what the business rates alone are on that building.  I think it was simply too big and expensive for them to cover the costs.
 
Good time were had, and will be had again, I'm sure, just maybe not on that scale.
 
 
 
 

He'd probably go back to commenting on how "toxic" the UK airsoft community is.

Agreed, and I wish the site had been given some more time to handle it before it went public.
 
In the end, all that actually matters is that whoever it was is identified and given the heave-ho.
 
That can be done by site owners, it doesn't have to be a public witch hunt.

Yeah, just seen him named and shamed on Reddit.
 
I'm sure we won't, but please can we avoid outing him on here please. There's not even 100% proof the named chap is the guy in the video yet. 

@Robert James - My comment concerning being "dead from x" wasn't a personal attack. I resorted to an idiom, which I'm all too used to using, that was referring to the chap who saw fit to step on the M14, not yourself.
 
No apology is necessary, I appreciate that tone isn't always evident.

@Robert James - I'm simply trying to highlight various points of consideration in your assessment. You're entitled to your opinion and I've not made any claims to contradict your right to an opinion. The simple fact is that even with the various factors you have mentioned the sensation of stepping onto a gun, especially a rifle, will feel very different to stepping on anything else onsite. Further to this I'd like to reiterate my point concerning tactile feedback, the sensations transmitted by stepping onto the gun will feel dramatically different and the guy hardly seems to be in a hurry to step off it. In fact the chap in question was all too happy to place his other foot on it with little to no hesitation and in such a manner that he was perfectly stable on the gun. There's also a hell of a difference between the sounds produced by branches, roots and other naturally occurring materials when compared to the sounds the gun produces (there's a distinction between creaking through stress and the crack of twigs and branches).
 
I appreciate that you're trying to provide an alternative theory but as @Rogerborg rightly said, the odds just don't stack  up and yes, this  is merely public opinion which is by no means infallible.
 
This is merely a discussion and if points made sway your opinion then surely there is no harm in this, just as there would be no harm should your argument sway others. Opinions should be based on reasoning, logic and where possible facts. Admittedly in this situation we don't have the whole picture so it is a case of balancing the information available with known factors.
 
If you can't accept people voicing arguments and lines of reason which may challenge your opinion then it might be best to step away from the conversation. I realise this may sound a bit controversial but this is simply a discussion which has been respectful and without confrontation. Should a discussion descend to a point where it enters the realm of personal attacks, bear baiting or bullying tactics to challenge someone's opinion then it becomes an issue but up until then point it is just normal social discourse.

agree with what you're saying, in most parts. Ive got no issue with people saying they think I'm wrong etc, however your comment about dead from the neck down, whilst it probably wasn't directed at me, no need for it. Plus someone else asking if my comment was genuine earlier. I give a different opinion on something and get laughed at or being told it doesn't feel the same unless youre dead from the neck down, isn't the nicest, nor was it needed. But, I've said my opinion, now I see no reason to carry on commenting on this specific thread. 
 
Freefrag, if that's not what you were getting at (with the neck down comment), like I said perhaps it wasnt directed at me. Please accept my apologies, sometimes its hard to tell what someone/how someone is writing something without tone.
