Airsoft confessions

[GingerBreadMan]

Go on, everyone has done something they're not proud of have an opinion against the normal. Lets hear them

After my first game, i preferred paintball

I have never owned, shot or held any tm gun (yet)

 

[Samurai]

Most of my opinions are against the normal so I'll go with the "not proud of" part.

On one of my first games I detached from my fire team to sneak to an objective. Close to the objective I got hit by a single BB, I looked around, saw no one and convinced myself that it was not a hit. That was about 7 years ago and I still feel bad about it.

at my first game, I was holding the gun side ways around a tree. Wondering why all of my bb's were curving off to the left. at the time i thought I had got a shit rental gun... ..

 

[TheGrover]

i must confess my sins:

yesterday, after having feeding issues with my new gun and after a few tests, identifying my PTS magazines as the cause...

... I used a high-cap

i felt dirty with every shot, and winding the mag only made the feeling worse

i had to caress my 30rd G5 mags for a full hour before i felt better enough to clean my guns before putting them away

Ha ha that's a face palm moment if I've ever heard one!

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.

I bought an orange double eagle ak47 with a plastic gearbox

I broke it within a day

I bought a set of proprietary gears, which didn't work and gave off a tonne of metal shavings

I bought a Cyma metal hop up, which didn't fit

I bought a Cyma metal gearbox, which barely fitted

Then, I bought a G&P body with a madbull handguard, didn't fit

Bought a G&P specific barrel nut for the madbull... right... ok...

Damaged G&P body

Sold G&P body

A week later... the barrel nut came..... fookin useless now

Ehhh my life story, but hey! At least, I picked up a free Dytac M4 magazine I found on the ground at a skirmish!

I bought a gun before I was 18 *small smile

Some poor bugger was probably looking for that magazine.?
If a mods reading this ban him for for being a kit thief. Hate people who steal other peoples dropped kit some nob nicked a torch I laid down a few months ago. If its on the ground leave it or inform a marshall.

Played one game on a quiet day, me and one of the guys who run the site had climbed a steep slope into thick foliage looking for the 4 guys on the enemy team, he said he was going to flank right while I looked for a route straight ahead, after a couple of minutes of getting nowhere I hear and see rustling directly in front of me so put a few shots in, guess who I hit. . . .

 

[Baz JJ]

I have no background in airsoft and still dont know that much about the internal workings of AEGs above a cursory understanding.

I got a very quick run through on my first ever game where I had a rented M4.

They briefly mentioned about the need to wind the high cap but not how often or how much.

It took me a little while for me to realise that I was engaging in firefights and no BBs were coming out, because I hadn't wound on enough.

 

[Happy]

Twice I've caved in and bought an M4 - not proud of that. Thankfully I have usually come to my senses and have sold them not long afterwards.

I've also shot out someone's helmet camera lense by accident. Was in a woodland game and I was running my sniper rifle. I happened to see this little red light off amongst the trees so I carefully aimed two feet below it so I wouldn't hit the camera... or so I thought. My rifle had been shooting fine/straight all day so I don't know how this happened, but when I pulled the trigger I watched as my shot drifted ever so slowly upwards and then there was a very expensive sounding "crack" noise.

Apparently the camera had only been used twice before I shot it out - it's owner wasn't at all happy so tried to get me banned from the site when I pointed out I wouldn't pay to replace it and was even more annoyed when everyone listening in agreed with me. Lesson learned: don't buy cheap cameras or at least buy a protective cover for it when airsofting. Still niggles at me to this day though.

There's also the time I went around shooting people with my ASG MK23 with stock silencer on below the minimum engagement distance for a weapon firing at DMR levels. I honestly didn't know the stock silencer boosted the stock FPS of 300 to around 430 instead. Now I know better but still feel sorry for all the players I shot on that day with it.

There's some idiots around I wouldn't pay for his camera either. If you go into a skirmish with an expensive camera with no case you've only got your self to blame when it breaks.

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.

[Fumps]

I often let out little farts during a fire fight just to see if I get away with it.

"Is someone running propane? Feckin' stinks in here!"
Is that the reason for the forum name?

Did it yesterday at Apocalypse, some guy threw a grenade next to my head (was laying down protecting the stairs) as the fuse was going all I could think was "NOPE" and smacked it back at them straight through the open window. I think It went off on a teammate..

Some of the guys on my team were impressed at my quick reactions. The other team deffinately were.

You lot should be ashamed of yourselves!!
