Biggest disappointments.

Be it a over hyped gun or a crappy site to play, What are your tales of woe?

(This is not for slagging people off mind you, so please be polite)

Expecting my belt rig without its harness to work as well on site as it did when I was clearing room to room in my house. It kept falling down every 5 steps, sagging and smacking me in the arse . It ended up taking the trouser button off my BDU's so they kept falling down.

So I was totally immobile beyond maybe 10 steps at a time, I was frustrated and sweating so my goggles obviously fogged up and I couldn't see f*ck all through the tiny peephole on the m14 iron sights which was a bit naff because it was the first time I'd used it so I wasn't much use.

Just stood there getting shot a lot lol

Gearing up to throw a grenade, thinking that I'll kill thousands. Pull the ringpull/strike the fuse. Assume the position. Mid-throw. Realise I can't throw. Grenade fails and kills no-one.

Seeing some kid at sand pit lob a small smoke out towards the enemy when we're pinned behind the only cover in sight

Got nearly 200 yards to run to next point of cover, this kids shouting move up, use the smoke.

Marushin Fn5-7. Felt like a springer, mold lines everywhere, wouldn't cycle on anything other than 134a and could have been beaten by a McDonald's straw.

Ordering an Enfield from Shoot and Scoot 2 month ago... Spent half the morning trying to contact them to say its too late to be any use to me now I want my money back.

I joinded a squad on a milsim game. We saw two enemy squads and they saw us too. They took cover in bushes and ditches. Then the sqad leader ordered us to do a frontal attack. This was our "cover". I couldn't believe it so I took a photo while staying behind.

Another disappointment is skirmishing in the UK. It's just paintballing with airsoft guns.

 

[Colonel Kurtz]

How did the dude get to be squad leader? Doesn't seem like he was promoted based on ability...

Unfortunately the idea of skirmishing being a smooth running military op seems an impossible dream, unless you had to prove your athletic/tactical/shooting abilities to play it first.

At least it's not a giant stag-do like paintball.

 

[MrMcG]

Working wonders to sneak behind the enemy covertly in the dark

Then not watching my footing falling over and being shot to ****

Or

Surprising the enemy pulling the trigger and nothing happens..... Empty

Me and a friend once did the same thing as you. A group of about a dozen of us crossing mostly open ground around the perimeter of site, ran into some bad guys. After standing out of range for a second, another friend led a heroic charge into the enemy whilst me and my mate Sat back and waited to watch them all get shot.

After most of them were dead, we agreed that if the first mate (who somehow wasn't hit yet) could medic the other 9 friendly players and revive the assault, we would eat our guns.

Once he got the first few guys back up we ran into the fray and reinforced him. We ended up medicing every player and pushing through the enemies to the building we were tasked with taking

And I still haven't ate my gun

 

[Colonel Kurtz]

Got given a sub-zero looking mask, i gave it a test shot and it punched the thin plastic lens right out. So I didn't get chosen to represent Earth in the next Mortal Kombat

 

[ImTriggerHappy]

Ordered a TM HK45 from overseas. I was really excited when it was delivered, opened up the package to find an M9a1.

6 weeks later gun has been returned still waiting for refund.

Not happy.

 

[Airsoft_Mr B]

Me, being an idiot as a beginner and buying two kinda shitty guns (the M4 definitely)

 

[Colonel Kurtz]

^ Pretty sure every airsofter's loft has an unwise purchase sat in it somewhere! I have two B500A1...

 

[n1ckh]

Capture the flag game

2 guys pinning us down, 1 guy taken out the other behind hard cover. As I move forward firing short burst to keep his head down, I'm within steps of getting the flag, I take cover to change mags & look to my rear to find everyone just standing about 30 ft away doing f**k all & at that point I get hit, happened twice that day where I start to push forward with no back up grrrrr

Nope.

 

[airsofter2015]

I was looking forward to playing airsoft for the first time about a year ago then realising the minimum age is 14. But i can play now.

 

[sp00n]

We 5.1 hi-Cappa dragon 29rds out of gas

First cheaply springer shottie I bought unskirmishable 400fps trigger locked up after 2 or so shells (managed to swap)

G&p m120 motor, not that good, expensave, and wow doesn't it get hot (I may have got a duff one)

Got to play a trial game at a new local site to me, I get d&v the night before and cannot remember the Sunday, was soo out of it asked the dpd delivery guy if they delivered on Sunday's now, it was Monday lol

 

[Hudson]

Biggest disappointment?

My children.

Barring that; the WE pistols I bought.

 

[Esoterick]

BFGs: Seems to be a mix between wanting to throw it in a spot that would be dangerous or where it would get lost. Tempted to sell them and buy a load of MK5s which i'd actually use lol.
