Hit a post limit for the day yesterday so couldn't respond, couldn't find a thread discussing post limits, anyone know how many posts per day and does it change based on forum rank? Thanks.
Definition of a "firearm" pertaining to Airsoft
https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1968/27/section/57A . Its all hearsay to me but from what I have read KM has shot someone multiple times with the definition of firearm according to the above legislation. I don't think we can legally play "hardball" as I said "I don't think you can consent to being shot with a firearm".
Hearsay to most of not all of the mob I reckon.
When I say a hardcore version I don't necessarily mean change the power I just mean this field is for people who don't care where they get shot and take responsibility for their face/head protection. I see how you came to that considering the allegations include this firearm stuff, the problem is the number of allegations makes my post seem like I condone them all, I'm not advocating for or condoning those I'm simply saying could there not be a clear distinction between sights which allow headshots from particular ranges with particular weapons and fire rates and ones which don't whatsoever so you can all avoid each other and enjoy the game how you like to play it.
I don't post often, but I've been lured out of hiding to say; BigBell, are you really sure you want Airsoft to be any more hardcore? Given that you wear lower face, that kind of suggests it's a bit too hardcore for you as it is.
I'd apologise for luring you from your hide however since I never stipulated which category I'd personally choose to play in or whether my reasons for a mask are purely cosmetic or safety or perhaps even medical it would seem you had a wasted journey of which I am not responsible. Perhaps your stirring can best be blamed on the psychology of mob rule in which safety in numbers inspires otherwise cowardly children to join a lynch mob.
I'm surprised you bothered to be honest, my original comment of making a rod for my own back was somewhat being proven wrong when every response was non personal and based on sharing knowledge and perspective about why they disagree with me until you surfaced.
Also find it odd that a comment mocking/belittling the wearing of face protection is recieving likes from people who argue responsible/safe gaming and how the sport is perceived by people outside the community such as parents of would be hobbyists being their motive behind disliking KM in the first place, perhaps some people are just hiding general dislike or jealousy behind virtuousness in order to get what they want or rid of who they don't want.
You see him adding hit markers. Much of the time, you can see his BBs curving off into the distance as he snarls and swears about cheaters.
I also follow the BBS and not the hit markers and yet come to a different opinion. Granted I see some questionable ones but that's the case with every channel I've seen. Plenty of the cheater calls acknowledge their hits on a reaction level but just don't call it, some genuinely don't feel them which calls into question the whole power allegations and others as you say aren't hits in the first place.
There are, since every site has different attitudes to marshalling, chronoing[*], head shots, power-play, overkill and such.
It's only an issue if sites aren't honest about what to expect, or when Phoenix attitudes are taken to other sites.
Ok so this is basically what I've been trying to get at with the whole hardcore mode thing, perhaps instead of destroying individuals those with clout in this community could organise some sort of council of field operators whereby they clearly distinguish which type of field they are and why, make that information very bold on all forms of advertising and in briefs etc so that people only end up playing at sites they are comfortable with like-minded players, also if a term can be devised which clearly distinguishes between regular Airsoft and the harder version then the KM style players can be insisted upon to not label their videos Airsoft so as to not tarnish your version.
Cheers, appreciated!!!
Everyone's a winner surely?
Sorry I didn't quote the whole comment as I realise it basically already disputes my response to rogerborg above in this post and it's your opinion which I've not said anything likely to change so I'll simply quote this bit and say no everyone's not a winner because those who differ in your opinion wouldn't be happy as is the problem in the whole world in any subject, everyone's different and want different things. One might argue that boxing should suffice as a combat sport and is the best method of safely beating each other up and these people spoke out against the rise in MMA but those in MMA were willing to take on more risk for their own reasons and now the sport is enjoyed throughout the world, still a combat sport but clearly defined as not boxing, maybe that's a reach but I think you get my gist.
I posted that I don't watch his videos, not that I've never seen one.
Someone who only saw Amber Heards makeup skills and nothing else was likely seated in her corner being oblivious to the full picture, there's plenty of good conduct in his videos if one bothers to shed their pre-conditioned attitude and watch a fair portion from a neutral perspective.
That's because its taken him that many shots to actually hit them. Often you can see the bb floating off nowhere near the target, he adds the hit markers and bitches about "cheaters" for the clicks
As mentioned above, following the BB works both ways and I do, as I said there's the odd questionable one but more often than not the BB hits and the players body language shows a natural response to a hit without calling it which also brings into question the hot gun allegations since they so willing to take more. Again it seems like there's a hymn sheet being shared around and people just sing from it to stay in good standing in their own church.
For some reason one of his videos labelled ‘most terrifying airsoft injury’ popped up on my fb feed once.
had to have a watch.
he basically puts his foot down a hole and rips his trousers ?
I guess I was hoping for open compound fractures or bunji pit impalement.
He had a 3 to 4 inch gash on his leg and it looked pretty deep, you distort the truth sir and it discredits your integrity, also this terrible man everyone loves to hate insisted that the Marshalls deal with the broken grate before they deal with his wound in the interest of the safety of other players.
I guess these hymn sheets don't contain words and are merely a collection of bleets and baahs, I hope those who sing from it at least feel a sense of belonging for a while until they themselves make a mistake making them ready for the slaughter.
I shouldn't of piped up in the first place, I had hoped my suspicions would be proven wrong and in some cases I was surprised they were however the undertone is clear and I shall (depending on responses) do my best to move on from this thread allowing the mass to continue undisturbed by a non compliant opinion.
Good day and peace one and all!
