You mean to say you dont already have them in your loadout?? Newb....

Russell that is a handsome looking bandolier!!

Cant remember.. Almost bought a foam poleaxe for 80 quid though..

The new shop attached to The Mall had some LARP ninja stars for sale last week, was very tempted

Next time her mates are over walk about in just your pants with a helmet on rubbing your gun calling it "precious" and see how much of a lunatic they think you are then :op

Ah fair enough...

Ninja stars vs samurai swords!!!

I find one player gets shot a lot if rushing a room in my local sites. Dont get me wrong im happy to rush into spaces trying to A) take one or two enemy out - or encourage the rest of the team standing around going "the baddies are in there, if I go in ima get shot"... to rush in and help clear the room. I had a right go at my brother the other day at The Mall as there was 10 seconds countdown left on the game, the ONLY way for our team to win would be to defuse the bomb, a group of us rushed forward on 7 and he refused to follow. Afterwards he was saying "I didnt know where the bomb was and I would have got shot" and my reply was along the lines of, we had 10 seconds to try to win, if one of us moved the bomb its worth the other 8 getting shot just go for it.... But he couldnt understand my thinking and I couldnt get his... Just different approaches I suppose. I tend to slink off and hang around spots where the enemy are complacent and take out groups and move on, I try to avoid the hotspots where I know the action usually is and get the enemy on their way to these spots...

I would have thought they would have been available over there... Like Grover said though, couldnt you just spray the ends of all of them orange as a temp solution? Or better yet use Orange insulation tape (Or painted masking tape) etc??

Low n Slow is me.... No point rushing to the battles.. In CQB the action tends to be spread out in little pockets, so low n slow gets me to the action then I skirt around the edges, I tend not to rush doorways or bottlenecks as unless loads of people join you in the rush you WILL get picked off and not take the room, so I like to stay on the fringes and surprise groups on their way from spawns to the action or loud groups wandering around

I would say its just you... Having been 8 times or so now I can say it normally seems an even split to me

I was Orange actually.. Spent the whole game in the basement, then ducked out before the end as the rest of my mates had given up by then and I was the driver lol..

I was in that group.... oh the shame....

Sorry buddy, didnt see your post until now... Was a good day, the last match (double terminator) was funny...

Shinpads remind me of The Shredder from Ninja Turtles

This is increasingly my issue.. There are 6 of us so its not too bad, as long as 1 other is up for a skirmish I will go not really a lone ranger type.

Well I work stupid hours often including nights and the occasional saturday or weekend trips, study full time at uni, have 2 kids but still try to skirmish once a month. Granted today was my first skirmish since June, but there are plenty of sites near to me which means options on days, I can go Wed, Thurs and Sat nights and Saturdays or Sundays work depending. Plus I can swap shifts and book days off etc if I need to. So its difficult, but I can try to fit it around other stuff. And to be fair we all need something to give us a little release from all the other crap we do so its important to make time where we can!!

I HATE you..... Im now attempting to buy a whole new loadout based around a WAS plate carrier just becoz...

Some raiders dont like certain mags... Had an issue with mine when I first got it, every other shot was dry firing. I bought AST mags in the end (due to advise from this forum) and they worked fine..

The next time Im asked to hold someones gun im stealing all of their ammo

Out of interest, what gun do you have? I personally like DMR looking guns, or customized pistols, saw someone once with a kick ass chrome looking pistol with a meat tenderizer on the end

Heading up on Sunday (August 30th) if anyone form here is in attendance please do say

I dont see an issue as BBs are not that expensive and its not a regular occurrence.. I once emptied out my mags into someone elses mag as I had no lives left and it was the last push before a trip back to the safe zone, so allowing someone else a chance to finish seemed no big deal for me. I run out once, my M4 was down and my pistol mag PFFFFT out of gas, so rather than go back someone lent me their pistol to use I was very surprised, he didnt seem to think anything of it.

This.. But generally think about what you have and what you will need. I break things down into lists to help. Start with a list of what skirmish bits you need and how you will transport etc.. Then think of your spares, batteries, BBs, batteries for torches, basic toolkit or multitool, electrical tape for emergency repairs etc... Will you have a tent to dump gear in? How about food? cos if you have to transport your own food and way of cooking things could get very heavy on your back.. Could you split stuff between a few of you? no point everyone bringing a tool kit, first aid kit and portable bbq and kitchen sink if a few of you could bring different bits of kit. I go camping a fair bit and go away with work quite a bit and we have worked out a system for different people only bringing certain things, saves everyone packing an extra bag of emergency bits we may need.. Think about it logically and take what you realistically need, its tempting to have waaaay too much stuff.
