Cannonfodder

Over killing and prefiring are exactly the sort of thing I mean. I takes bugger all skill to just finger bang a hair trigger and spray shots everywhere than it does to take aimed shots and is guaranteed to piss people off. True, but in my experience it's more likely that the guy with the day glow hi cappa adapted to take M4 mags that'll be the problem Unfortunately the kind of person who's going to break site rules on spamming the trigger etc is also less likely to call a hit it it means a long walk to or wait at their respawn

You're right that the number of speedsofters will vary from site to site, it must be that the ones I attend don't have very many. Would I be right thinking these tournaments are closer to paintball tournaments where things like pre firing are allowed? If so problems are going to arise when these tactics are used on a regular skirmish. For a normal skirmish I actually agree with you there, ban the arsehole not the kit as they're the problem.

Are they though? In my experience speedsofters are a minority, I'd even say that their numbers are greater at woodland sites. Also many sites have banned speedsoft as a playing style and are still going strong. I do agree that not all speedsofters are arseholes, it just seems that arseholes are attracted to the speedsoft playing style.

One thing I've noticed more cqb sites doing is restricting the number of pyros people can carry. As much as I like tossing bangs around I like this rule as it stops games turning into a game of who can afford the most pyros

Unless you're buying in bulk I find the extra postage costs don't make it any cheaper than buying on site

I'm not sure I'd class him as a shop in the traditional sense, more like he's buying guns on the cheap to sell for a exorbitant price. As for them being new, I'll take that with a big pinch of salt.

Multiple access routes. Games turning a stalemate because nobody can move forward and there's no way of flanking or taking alternative routes get boring fast, especially if that choke point means one person can keep an entire team pinned in one spot

Oops, my mistake

IIRC P90 high caps have a reputation for feeding badly. Can you post pictures of the magazine?

I agree it's not a new thing but it seems to be happening more recently. The part that makes me laugh is that often the shop's price tag is clearly visible in the photo (which is clearly taken on the shop counter)

Recently I've noticed ads appearing in the classifieds for guns and gear where the seller is a store trying to pass as a private sale. What are others thoughts on this? It may just be me being cynical, but personally I think it's a bit of a dick move as the shop can get away with no giving any kind of warranty or after sales support and puts me off buying anything from them.

It might help if you posted in the right place https://airsoft-forums.uk/classifieds/category/17-guns-wanted/

Don't forget the £15 postage and the 370 fps making it unusable at any site

I thought you can. I've deliberately not signed up as I know I'd just end up getting banned for calling muppets out on their ridiculous prices

I always take the words "easy fix" to mean it's fucked. If it really is an easy fix then why not do it yourself? This would increase its value and the number of people interested

I don't think it was a hacked account. It was their only post

Well that's certainly a new one. Waiting 5 years to spam the forum and doing it in a 9 year old thread😂

I do security at empty buildings where they can't find a buyer or new tenants so the higher ups would probably be happy if I burnt the place to the ground. And before anyone says it, yes I have looked into seeing of they'd allow airsoft games 🙁

I don't care how rare or limited edition it is, £50 for a patch is taking the piss

I'm guessing that either the battery or charger were faulty as batteries don't spontaneously burst into flames for no reason. Batteries should be regularly inspected and binned if damaged or puffy. I charge my batteries at work as it's free electricity and if the worst case senario does happen then it's not my house going up Exactly. While we all post about what should be done I'm sure we're all guilty of cutting corners at some point.

Welcome. Good to see someone else here with a love of things that go boom
