Little Things That Annoy You In Airsoft

[Sacarathe]

When you know a site it does help.

It can be easy to get boxed in downstairs in the basement though, other than that its not too difficult to get around

You know you can quote more than one person in a single post right?

Yup..

What really grinds my gears is when I find "that thing" that is just what I need - but everywhere is Out of Stock.

Swordfish front end for M4...? In 10yrs I've never actually found one available to buy :-(

agreed on out of stock part, been trying to find one plate carrier vest for past few days with no luck

People buying RIFs new without any apparent knowledge of the defences.

Why? There is no defence for buying a RIF

That's not what I said.

So what are you saying then? Why would you be annoyed at people not knowing defences when buying a RIF when they don't need to?

Dunno if he means those that come on here calling UKARA a licence etc.

I never understood people's want to wear desert or black camo in wood games... it makes no sense especially desert haha

 

[ImTriggerHappy]

I never understood people who think camo makes much difference at airsoft distances. Only thing worse is kit snobs who comment that people are wearing the wrong clothes or camo.

If you're doing an impression of a particular unit in a particular location at a particular time, what does it matter. Gotta be honest you're being a bit of bleep saying this.

Why does it matter, at least they will stand out and you can shoot them easier. ..

i wear UCP/ACUPAT trousers and a black top occasionally where i play and it has woodland and buildings, i could wear hi-viz and it would make just as much difference!!

It all about playing a part and having fun while we switch off from our real world issues!!, we all know camo makes no real difference at these ranges

Desert can work well in winter woodland games. I used to wear mtp trousers and a desert jacket and could stalk no bother. I think it works better when there is a low sun and the contrast between the darker bottoms and lighter top. Why would you let someones clothes annoy you?

At the short distance we play at every camo stands out unless you spend the entire game stationary in a bush. Multicam stands out like a sore thumb in woodland to but most people wear it these days, and it's nice to see people wear something different like the desert camo etc. Part of the reason why I wear digital is because so few others do.

People who think they are great at airsoft because they are time served in the military. Airsoft and the military are a complete different kettle of fish!

 

[djben9]

i just grab a box from loft, it will either be AU, FG, Camogrom, Digi woodland or ACU, which ever is the nearest at the time as its usually only a pair of trousers that's camo for gunman games......spend time sneaking around the buildings and running through woods.....so camo is of little use to be honest, i just like the pockets in the combats! lol

people can hide just as well at some sites in a pair of jeans, a white top and a strategically placed bush and pick you off ,

like i said im there to get my monies worth by shooting people and getting shot back : :lol:

not sure why i had to reply twice....one of those days at work!!!

Only been playing airsoft since September/October time, so I'm still very very new.

But my biggest grievance at games (same 2-3 people every time) that scream for everyone to move up whilst they sit 25 metres back from the rest of the team and proceed to stay there until he needs to respawn and it's everyone else's fault.

I'm a new player.

Let me find a way to play that suits me, not the way that suits you.

That being said, last game day, one of these charming individuals had been effing and ceeing at us newbies all day, if he got hit, it's our fault for not working as a team. If he couldn't hit someone, it's because "they moved since we were shooting at them".

Ended up spawning in, and as I was running, I did accidentally drop a smoke from my pouch not far from him (it didn't ignite don't worry), it simply fell and rolled, picked it back up and I cracked on.

Walking back to the safe zone after the game has been finished, guy decides to full auto me on the back of the head (which was not fun In the slightest) for a good couple of seconds from behind.

His reason? Along the lines of "All the effing hires just turn up here and make us lose the game because they don't know this or that. If it wasn't for marshals I'd be doing *insert graphic threats here*.

I did however give him the opportunity to be a man of his words, but he did reject.

What an awesome bloke. I hope the marshalls did something about it?

Props to you for not decking him though. I dont think id have been so restrained if i were you.
