Grazing shots

[Yukarin]

All for it in fact my new rule will be unless they make 30 seconds of direct eye contact with me before shooting I won't take the hit as it was just a mistake they shot in my direction and didn't even mean to hit me and I bet they feel bad for accidentally shooting towards me. 

I've had shots go past my ear and you can tell it was close but it wasn't a hit as if it was I would of been tearing up. 

This is a joke, right?

here's one as a question for the wisdom of the forums.

friendly fire when it's blatantly obvious it's a team-mate trolling you for a laugh rather than intended as part of the game.

yea or nay?

 

[Luke85]

I thought someone might have picked up on the satire when I posted a picture of my arm hair....never mind. Maybe my girlfriends right and I'm just awkward and weird.

Now that is a tricky one. I’d say it’s situational if your in a engagement and a teammate hits you intentionally or not your out.

If your not actually “in” the gunfight eg it’s a bigger game and your defining a compound and your mate whips out his pistol and shoots u in the nuts id laugh and not take it.

If that makes sense.

No I would probably cry if I got shot in the ear. Taken some to the forehead and they had me tearing up.

It all depends I never shoot my friends for a laugh MID game but I do shoot at them occasionally if we are defending and it's a bit dull.  If it wasn't someone I knew and it happened more than once I would tell a marshal.

You can't not take hits because you think it was a team mate trolling a hit is a hit unfortunately.

yeah, i'm thinking mostly of the latter, where the situation allows you to know for sure that it wasn't any kind of enemy contact and they very deliberately shot you for a joke.

yeah, this is purely banter between mates outside of actual firefights i'm referring to, in our case we have a penchant for shooting them in the backside with their own pistols.

If its game on Yep it counts.

 

[GeorgePlaysAirsoft]

I dont care about whether it counts as a hit but a group were doing this at a skirmish the other day - it is fucking shit banter and just really annoying generally. Deffo not as funny as people think it is.

Shite patter my man.

On the topic of friendly firing your mate; do it when they're already hit if you're so inclined, removes all confusion and you're being irritating anyway so it makes no difference them already being dead.

 

[Luke85]

Shite patter my man.

No idea what Shite patter means, but I think I'm offended.

Is this another thread that needs my trademarked 17mm gelatine filled BBs?

Isn’t this an airsoft forum where a hit is a hit and a miss is a miss?

As opposed to a paintball forum where a splat mark is a hit ?

Hit is a hit. A certain someone got called out because the leaves on his tree suit were getting hit and he didn't call it. If you're wearing it, its attached to you're body or even grazes you regardless of where it does its a hit. Yes sometimes people don't feel the hit (usually because they are wearing way more shit than they need) but its still a hit.

Ive lost count of the amount of n00bs that will turn up in full osprey kit and wonder why they get complaints all day because the 50000000000000000000000 layers of cordura they are wearing makes it nigh on impossible to feel anything (not to mention it looks shit).

 

[EvilMonkee]

Pet peeve of mine re earlier comments about not taking hits cos 'Duh IRL my armour/plate carrier' would have stopped it.  Obvious cheaters argument but I would also like to see a plate carrier stop a 7.62 AK round at 200m....good luck with that one.  There is this civilian perception that armour will stop a round. Most times it wont but it will hold you all together till they get you to medical aid.

True airsofters wear a morph suit. High speed low drag. 

My site lets you wear what you want but if your not calling it then your playing a game of strip for the boys.

The rule of the game (and rightly so) is a hit is a hit end off .

not involving any of the other points (wound hits/kit hits/gun hits/etc/etc) just body hits .

BUT anyone who says they’ve NEVER consciously made the decision to not taken a hit is lying through there teeth !?

Now I’m not saying it right or ok to habitually ignore hits that’s just out and out cheating but everybody at some time or another has had one of those hits that more than likely anyone who had seen it would think it ‘just’ missed you but you know it didn’t , but you still chose to ignore it and act as if it did miss and carry on for what ever reason .

All this thread has done is bring the reality of it in to the light , and it would appear a lot don’t like the ‘guilty secret’ in the daylight ? ?
