The fact that some players are deliberately dishonest at chrono (cheating it or simply not presenting a weapon) happens everywhere.
Rubbish.
I am also the owner of Bunker 51. I have two other Airsoft groups who use the site as well as beginning to run my own games with my staff. In addition, the site runs as an overflow for our laser tag operation which is at the front of the site. We also hire the site out for immersive theatre experinces and private functions. It's getting used s lot.
Wolf have been invited down to view the site but haven't as yet. BYOM is something we could look at at times we're not busy.
Well, intentional or not, Airbourne have allowed the impression that it's their site, to exist.
I was tempted to get in touch with the site about organising regular private games for myself and also for forum meets, but after reading all this and looking at online reviews think I will leave it alone.
Thanks for this. I'll look into introducing a policy for any player using HPA.
This is it's own can of worms, you want to keep it simple.
At the chronograph, test the gun with the weight of ammo they intend to use (always use your own BBs at the initial chronograph) and use a simple table to calculate the muzzle force. It's not absolutely necessary to then check to see if they get the similar results with their own ammo.
Alternatively just chrono HPA guns with
0.28g or heavier ammo as your standard practice.
When carrying out any subsequent HPA spot checks (with or without any suspicion) do so initially with the players' own magazines - and cross check those results with what is expected from whatever ammo weight they said they'd use (and the results that particular gun got at the initial chronograph) - if their
muzzle force has changed (and hop alteration does not explain the variation) re-test with your own ammo at the weight used at the initial chronograph.
Never take a players word for it on whatever weight they claim to have in their magazine - this is not a question of honesty, but safety.
As for rate of fire; I'd say removing players, on a case by case basis, from the play area for 20 minutes if they abuse rate of fire potential is enough.
Please don't go overboard.
Because these issues are with Airbourne Airsoft and not the site. This is not indicative of how Ultimate Airsoft runs its games or its site. If you came to me to look to hire the venue and run your own own games, then they would be run by YOU. And then you'd have to deal with complaints when you or one of your crew make a bad judgement call or just stuff up. Please don't condemn the site just because a third party has had issues. This is not the fault of Ultimate Airsoft Whitechapel or the venue. Your being a bit unfair. And it is entirely possible (actually, a fact) that there are many players who are really happy with the way Airbourne Airsoft run the majority of their games and are prepared to come onto this forum in their defence. Don't disrespect them for it.
If you want to talk to me about hiring my site then please, come and talk.
I sent you a PM earlier. Sending another.
