Little Things That Annoy You In Airsoft

Players who think it is OK to use heavier weight BBs to pass chrono with their hot gun.
Does this happen often? I've actually only been asked to chrono my gun once and they asked me what weight BB i was using at the time. Didn't occur to me that people would do this lol.

Every site I've played at that did not use their own BBs I've heard discussion of this (by players).

Players who find a piece of cover at the very edge of a firefight and refuse to make any further forward movement, despite the fact they can't even reach the target.

As I wear a Yank loadout, I have a tendency to run up the middle regardless, shouting yee-haw as I go.

At least it gets me out of the house.

I often find groups of newer players, all hiding near the spawn, I stand in the open and try to encourage them to move, it can be frustrating when they're more afraid of getting shot than the walk back to respawn.

 
I have in the past threatened to shoot them myself. Refusing to fight, you see...

There's also the opposite where sites assume the muzzle energy will be fine once the player actually uses the heavier weight BBs they play with. There's some pretty shocking joule creep tests on the airsoft sniper forums using DMRs.

It's good to have a few people sitting back. If everyone else gets hit at least they can still keep up the attack/defence.

Unless they're the cause of everyone getting hit, I don't watch ball sports, but is not the same true there? If you sent 70% of your team and they send 100%....

It is annoying when shot in the back by players on your team who are just staying far back and not paying attention or do not care that their team is actually ahead of them attacking.

 
No point in sitting back if you're not contributing anything to the effort, firing BB's that are landing 5 or 6 metres short of the cover your opponent is sheltering behind...

 
Overly aggressive people. Yeah I get it we're playing war games, but in this one we're basically playing long range tag not "murder their entire family".

Calm your bitch ass down and have some fun.

(Mate of mine got full auto'd in the back of the head when dead because he apparently wasn't taking his hits..)

^^ totally agree with this.

Many years back, at my local site, there was this Lass who was "Ex-Special Forces". She dragged a guy to the ground and held a knife to his throat (not a rubber knife - a real one).

She was banned from site and, as far as I heard, a fair few sites in the area too.

When playing just with the team some shenanigans are great - but some people go too far.

 
this happen to me and my team yesterday at the mall, to give credit where its due to the other team was set-up in a good place so made it difficult to get out into the rest of the shopping centre, but still with a little push you could out quickly.

As mentioned many times,

But I'd put £30 pound in the bank for an item that costs £26 or so, then they scam you with £7 pound shipping or something...

This reminds me.

The very clever chairsofters who know EVERYTHING and don't hesitate to share it.

Many years ago I was on a game with my mate and we were entering a building. A marshall came there and started shouting what we should do and grabbed my mate's vest and dragged him to an other position. My mate at that time WAS actual special forces and he was doing tactical entries (and parachuting and diving and planting explosives, etc) as a living. He wasn't a happy bunny. :)

You mate would have been in the right to floor him.

I find the whole 'long range tag' to be one of the problems, when players (non sniper) stay back and spank out BBs that are not even getting close to the other team. And then they get cross with people for not taking their hits. Just need to close the distance so that the BB do hit and gain the ground. It is not murder, it is war so neutralise all threats :)

 
6 players hiding behind a shed shouting at me "We are being pinned in by someone behind that tree"....

When my answer is "lets rush him as we have unlimited spawns being the attackers" and realise I was the only one to actually run out and on my way back to regen hear them shouting at someone else that "we are pinned in from someone behind that tree"..

ARGHHHHHH
