Airsoft confessions

[n1ckh]

This is what gets me & even to this day I still don't understand it

At a CQB site, a guy threw a grenade & as it was burning away, I ran & grabbed a team mate as I did so, we were outside the 5 metre range plus 2 walls between us but the Marshall said we were dead

I was soooooo tempted to shoot him for being wrong that as I started to raise my rifle that the guy I grabbed could see what was going on & pulled me away as I was swearing quietly

Fairplay to that guy or I'd have been banned

 

[UIVenger]

In a CQC game I shot a guy about 15-20m away. I was sure I tagged him but I never heard him shout "hit" or put his hand up. So I kept firing thinking he was a cheater.

Turns out I just couldn't see his raised arm because it was hidden by a tree... He was not a happy man and I still feel a little bad about emptying half a magazine into him.

TBH I would say that was his own fault - should have made it more clear that he was hit!

I'll agree with that, my usual site always says in the safety brief 'step away from cover to show your hit, if your in bushes then say dead man coming out of cover'

 

[beastmode]

Pmsl so that's why your always back so bloody quickly & here's me thinking you run back & didn't know you thew a grenade back

Yep I told you at the time it was at Portishead at the time I actually felt quite proud of my self

You must have a confession of your own Nick. We won't judge.

That was a while ago Doug so I can't remember lol
But apart from the odd non hit taking after a couple of shots, shouting at people for not taking there's & getting a bit irate at some people for blatant cheating like talking etc (we're all guilty of it & refuse to believe anyone saying they always take there hits) more embarrassing than a confession of falling off wet steps & tripping over a tree root

and killing 3 team mates with my own flash bang at my very 1st game (you should remember that one Doug lol)

Not really anything to confess about yet

So is this like Catholicism? Will the OP be telling us how many 'Hail Marui's' we have to say for each sin?

Been playing in the chaos-pit of the Mall for a year so think I've made my way through most the i-spy book of airsoft-regrettable-behavior;

mistakenly shooting people;

- in the face

- kids (they may be armed but still...)

- after being hit already

- more times than necessary

- on my own team

my own poor conduct;

- sworn a few times ("f*ck! right in the cock" etc)

- shot someone already hit in the back of the head with a full-auto burst deliberately (they'd sworn few times at me and tried to shoot me in the nuts before storming-off)

- told people they'd been hit rather than telling marshal

- almost kick-off at someone recently; http://www.airsoft-forums.co.uk/index.php/topic/26732-the-mall-reading-thursday-night-june-18/#entry202347

Only cliches of airsoft bad-behavior I'm confident in not having sinned in is;

- nicking kit (I've even been sad enough to hand in a small bolt that looked like it came from someones stock or similar)

- hit-taking; I'm confident in being good at taking hits, I've only ignored ones from people I've hit a decent amount first (the turn and shoot you back kinda scenarios). Never done a cheeky "Ahh they can't tell" or "Sure I hit him too, I'll keep firing and take my hit once he does". Far too paranoid about it really, if anything i take far too many hits that didn't occur, simply as it's quickest, easiest and most satisfying for all (no-one believes they could have missed point-blank, and it's only luck they did miss so fuck-it!)

Mine is losing my temper at the Mall a month or two back after seeing my tracer BBs bouncing off someone and their not taking their hits....lost it so bad was pulled from the game and talked to by marshall. Right enough the marshall was a patronising wanker but thats beside the point....

When will people realise that tracer fire means I can see you not taking it?

 

[n1ckh]

I had a player Marshall accuse me of blind firing at him, he was crouched in the corner of a building watching the doors, I saw him, drew my pistol & through the window, put my head in and said 'bang'

He shot me in the ribs 3 times at point blank & luckily I had my PC on where he hit that, I was shocked which was lucky or I'd have punched him to the ground

 

[TheGrover]

Swearing after being hit somewhere soft isn't a sin, it's an expectation. I took a bad shot right in the cockpit on Saturday from a sneaky bastard hiding in a dark room, and boy did he hear about it.

Even if you've been knifed by someone, I'll usually call them a sneaky fucker, but it's more a compliment at how food they were at catching me off guard than derogatory

So you were accused of blind-banging? and then shot for your troubles?

I've yet to play somewhere that allows 'bang-rule' and had it used on me. If it does happen i intend to say 'The Matrix' back at them and wave my arms around until they actually shoot me

I certainly was sir but now they've got rid of the bang rule & it's either take a hit or say 'yep I'm taking it' but now I just shoot
At the begining, I was quite happy giving people the chsnce but in all honesty, I can't be arsed anymore as people do it to me & its part of the game

Needless to say he got a chewing out for it as a few others saw what he did & backed me up the whole way

 

[GiantKiwi]

Had an incident at the last AI (No bang/surrender rule in play) where someone got the drop on me, and decided to ask if I wished to surrender whilst holding his shotgun's muzzle to the cheek of my facemask, I replied by shooting him with a single shot in what I thought to be centre mass, but actually turned out to be his manhood. He wasn't best pleased on 2 accounts..

Holding his gun muzzle to your face deserves a shot to the nuts IMO, no need to be physically threatening/intimidating about things. I'd suggest it's behavior indicative of small-manhood but you still managed to hit it so...

 

[Fumps]

"Is someone running propane? Feckin' stinks in here!"

Is that the reason for the forum name?

Nope thats a school nickname. long story

Dropping one in public is a sport me & my son play......we refer to it as dropping a "Smooth criminal"

 

[n1ckh]

My confession is I sometime haven't walked all the way back to a respawn to respawn as Its sometimes a really long way to go. Not proud and I won't do it again honest.

Also threw a grenade back at someone Killing about 6 people. Never owned up to that one.

I sometimes have a little tinkle when beastmode gets all manly & aggressive with his big (SA80) weapon in his hand pmsl

- kids (they may be armed but still...)

Thats not a sin, it is manditory !!!

When people ask how it goes with my 12 year old son. I respond "Kick his arse as often as possible" lets be fair he has entered into a game where shooting people is the point of being there. I say if it moves shoot it, if its small and moves shoot it more!!!

so I think your clear on that one.

It could be worse, you could shoot a kid in the head at point blank range who is on your team!!!! which is what happened to my son. He copped one right in the centre of his forehead, the guy couldnt stop apologising but we thought it was hilarious my son was chuffed to bits

I say the same for my sons, there 14 & 15 so should expect to get shot but they've certainly toughened upto it since we started playing

Although they always stick with me & have said many times they wouldn't want to come up against me if I'm on the opposite side

In all honesty, it makes me laugh when they get hit & a little jealous that I can't do it YET

 

[Colonel Kurtz]

If I do shoot a kid I try and follow it with a Nelson "Haw Haw", so they fully appreciate the situation.

Did have one jump up and scream 'don't shoot' once after I burst round a corner and shot his mate. I asked but he didn't have any lunch-money so i shot him in the foot

No lunch money? Kids these days... What are bullies supposed to do? Go back to wedgies and Chinese burns?

Yeah they've spent it all on micro-transactions, should have ransomed him into gifting me something on Steam instead
