By those standards I'd say using RIF and camo clothing is disrespectful to reality, but i get the point, even if it sets off my sense of semantics :)

I don't disagree on the RIFs :)

I usually call it 'hit' or 'got' too as I've yet to impart death in airsoft, although I did shoot a beetle in half accidentally once...

I'm glad to hear that i'm not the only one who feels this way, I think any variation on 'target down' is best, but as an airsoft newbie, you'll not hear that from me, for now.

Couldn't care less. The only game I have ever counted how many players I get is the first infected style game at the mall. Hits I take I have never counted because to be honest its more fun to throw yourself in than hide in a corner worrying about getting shot.

 
I only track them if I'm on a roll (which is rare). Highest I reached was 9 at The Gaol (six of which were knife kills, the other three shotgun kills). I somehow on my own managed to flank a good portion of the other team who must have mistook me for being on their side.

But usually I don't keep it in mind - too busy having fun shooting and being shot back.

 
I'm a pratt who sucks at airsoft

therefore I am often one that will throw myself up or attract their attention whilst my team assault

(well that is my pathetic excuse)

Kill - Death bollox ???

Only Kill I worry about is if my team decide I must be on the enemy side

Only Death I worry about is if my gun will last the day

As long as I don't mess up and cost my team the game - so what

if peeps take the general skirmish sites too seriously

then they should put down the toy gun and get out more

If people are really worried about K-D running around with toy guns.....

There is no MOAB in airsoft - well unless PT247 is on your team

 
Been playing a year now, and this is the first time ever heard the term kd in airsoft context.

Thats proper cod

I'd never heard It mentioned in airsoft either till last week then I read it yesterday on the forum someone mentioned the kd they achieved with a new loadout. I wasn't sure if I was missing something. Glad I'm not.

To be honest I do try to keep track when on a roll as well but its difficult when its quite often in the dark and happens pretty fast, so its usually a bit of a guesstimate. 9 is ok wont say what mine is as I dont want to be cruel ?

I get more of a buzz out of completing the objective, rather then scoring "kills"

Unless you're 14. Or sound like you are.

youtu.be/BZKvVgLZQks?t=2m29s - No offence to the guy in this vid, but sadly it stuck in my head

Here have some bleach: youtube.com/watch?v=3b7BpxZhk-0

I'm not saying there is anything wrong it with, just doesnt feel right either.

Well considering we are playing soldiers with toy guns and yell dead man walking once were out so we don't get shot up once were out. would suggest hitting a player is a "kill". Or it could be a hit. Got. Down. What ever you call it I just wanted to know how many people count it and compare it to deaths. The term used wasn't the point. I don't think age determines it either.

Could start saying you have "ended" someone instead? But i think thats probably worse lol.

OP there is nothing wrong with your choice of terms, thread derailed a little, but nothing wrong with the choice of words.

As for age, I was just getting at how it sounds, not what it might mean.
