Why people need in excess of 1 hour for a lunch break at a game day. 
 
Adult players who get angry when younger/new players are confused or maybe staying a little behind so they dont get hit as much. I don't get what they gain from shouting at these newer players to push up while they themselves, in all their gucci gear, are the furthest back.
 
But most of all, people who pre-fire the hell out of CQB like its CSGO. Pet hate of mine, don't understand what they really gain from it other than looking like a knob and using a load of ammo/gas. Luckily it seems to be mostly a stateside thing, along with their bang bang rule. 

"Good luck passing chrono with 5.56 mate" XD

Its when you hear the "5.56 would have torn through those leaves!" yes but we're not playing with real ammo are we otherwise I think there wouldnt be an issue with the hit calling 😂

Not a single one of my RIF's has a mosfet ( more bloody electronics to go wrong , I hate tech ! ) and they all run 7.4 Lipo's . Biggest thing to be aware of is not over discharging the battery. If I use the same gun all day I change the battery at lunch time. 

Most of, if not all ?, of my guns are older generation kit, before mosfets became a "thing", & I run them all on 7.4 lipo's without any issues, did have an 11.1 but stopped using it as it spun everything waay to quickly for my liking.

I guess 7.4v LiPos won’t hurt right? 🤔 As long as you use them correctly I guess they should be ok. Correct me if wrong though.

You will hate my patch wall then ! 

A lot of these I got for free, some from shot show and then yes, some specifically I purchased (Seal Team TV show ones etc..)

 

@Adolf Hamster has already mentioned late starts and overly long briefs. If you need a special brief for newbs/rental, do it separately, tell them to come earlier, I don’t care, but don’t take 1hr for a brief just because you need to explain fundamental principles of shooting BBs to 5 people when the party is 120 strong.
 
I don’t get power players, hyped up on adrenaline, who consistently do not take their shots and jump left and right dodging BBs when they get visibly and audibly hit then banged with a frag (or a few). Goddamn John Wick wannabes. What’s the point? You wanna piss off a few other guys so they spray you till you take your hits? Bad outcome for everyone.

One of the marshalls at Bristol has a shame bell on their phone that they use, if you're still faffing when its brief time then shame on you...

Bane of a marshals day is trying to get people to move for the next game. Tell them with plenty of notice to bomb up at lunch half of the players loading up during the next brief. Need a wavier so we can use cattle prods to get late players shifted.

I mean, people could have ran late, stuck in traffic etc but I get where your coming from.
One of my major annoyances is people arriving late to the cinema. Why would you pay for a movie to arrive late missing some of it.
 
anyway back to Airsoft.
 
My main thing is the amount of sitting time you get at a lot of sites, lunch included. The mall gave you 45 mins and was clear, you miss the game brief your not playing. And had a short turnaround in between games.
some sites seem to run 60% safe zone to 40% game zone action some days it seems which is really annoying.
 
late starts piss me off too. I get up early on a Sunday to travel into the countryside to then have to sit around for over an hour as the safety brief isn’t until 10am even through the website said arrive by 8.30. What’s that all about!!
 
 

Patches.....i can understand event patches its the patch walls i cannot understand. Full disclosure, I do have a handfull of patches - a couple of deadpool crossovers a fb group patch, event patch and a couple of freebiees from said event.
However, when i look at patchwalls or inside guncase displays i just think 'there is a guns worth of patches there.. ..'
 
Agreed with moaning/not playing.
 
But what i truly dont get is how people turn up to sites late or only start prepping when called out tp gamezone. These people fuck me off the most as i dont understand why you wouldnt get a whole days worth of shooting...

Heck yea can they make that a rule where people are only allowed so long in safe area unless injured or damaged gun as you end up with half the team missing else for most of day.

Seriously naff patches.  
 
Standing around chatting for half the game.
 
'Cold War' games that have a cut off date for kit in '91.  Tell the people of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic, Cuba, Venezuela, Belarus, China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Namibia, Angola, Brazil, Honduras, Syria, Nepal, Bolivia etc that the Cold War ended in '91.   
 
Moaning.  If I wanted to hear a load of moaning on a Sunday afternoon I'd stay home and ignore the state of the grass, need for paint on the back door and long forgotten agreements to see 'friends.'   (Just kidding, I get encouraged to do what I enjoy.)

Finally got my mitts on a MK3, I've been looking for Months, found this one at Military Odyssey. 

Not quite as exciting or intricate as a lot of the guns on here but its my first RIF and given its just a Cyma im really happy with it (sorry photography is not my strong point):
 
Cyma CM002
PTS ergonomic grip
Magpul front grip
XTM rail covers
Magpul STR stock
Vortex strikefire 2
Cheapy rail QD sling point
Nato 3 point sling
Nuprol N mag
 
The only internal upgrades are:
Deans connectors
Maple leaf macron bucking
Maple leaf omega nub
 

Was actually me that came up with that one , as there wern’t many players that day head marshal said “give me your ideas and we can see what’ll work”  

I really enjoyed a filmsim with limited ammo, although as with everything in airsoft, you got the impression that some players treated it as more of a guideline than a rule.

i must admit it's the one thing i'd have loved to try, assuming limited ammo actually means limited ammo and none of this "an m4 pcc with a box mag is a support gun" shenanigans.
 
taking something like the dragonuv on the field with nominally* 160 rounds and no decent topping off method is great except the bit where everyone else is hosing left right and centre.
 
problem is every event i've seen that tried to impose ammo limits either did it in a really dumb way (eg you could carry 2 hi caps or 5 low caps, evidently nobody did the math on that), or allowed the aforementioned workaround of accepting anyone with an arp and a drum mag as a support gunner, which kind of defeats the point of giving people who have to lug support guns with actual heft to them around the capacity advantage. plus ofc letting people carry a bag to spawn to reload with also defeats the purpose of encouraging ammo conservation.
 
*mags holding 20 rounds on paper, more like 15
