Once again Americans/HPA users/Geardo's ruin it for the rest of us

[Davegolf]

They're both in the wrong in terms of gameplay but yeah, that's video evidence of felony assault (seeing as it's US based). Pretty disappointed in the guy filming that let it go on for a while before rather limply pulling the bloke away. Also not convinced that the "woman" isn't actually a dude (who could well have been doing this to all and sundry all day).

He had to let it go on… how else would he have been able to make such content and probably own a bigger house than any of us from it ?

If my son punched like that or 'defended' himself by cowering like that I'd call him my daughter.  

I wouldn't actually thinking about it as my daughter knows how to use her fists.  She'd flatten both of them. 

My thoughts exactly. literally the worst thing he could've done in a fight situation, cower and wait for the blows to rain down, whilst praying for the assailant to lose interest.

If you're not an experienced fighter or are caught off guard then sometimes that's the best you can do. What's the alternative, stand toe to toe and get smashed in the face half a dozen times?

I got jumped by 10/12 guys once and turtling after the first punch stopped me from getting punched in the head by seven fists from seven different directions. Got myself into a ball in a corner and protected all the bits that mattered. There were so many of them that they were getting in each others way and couldn't even get the boot in properly.

Walked away with a red cheek and a sore shoulder. Standing up and boxing away like a brave fucking idiot, I would have been smashed to pieces.

It wasn't a fight though was it ?, it was one skinny & probably quite young guy, doing what he'd probably done a load of times before with no repercussions, only this time a 'roided up Geardo, complete with tacticool beard?, flipped, it all happened very quickly & to be fair on the "kid", this behaviour is usually drummed in at most sites as absolute taboo, so there was probably a big element of shock & "WTF".

That. Only psychopaths actually go around prepped to flip-out-and-fite-IRL at a moment's notice. Most "fights" are over before half of the participants know that they've even started.

Not that I want to see this at any airsoft site, ever, but the only real interest I have in these handbaggings is how they're resolved.  Back in the day, etc, etc, it would have been sorry-mate-lost-the-rag, handshakes all round, and move on - at least the first time.

Now, especially when caught on camera which makes everybody look bad (witness the excoriation of all three participants here) it's harder to forgive and forget.

You don't need experience and he wasn't caught off guard either. You do not allow the person close at all. If someone is approaching you aggressively, you set a boundary with your arms raised and held forward, as soon as they enter within that range. You either push them back to create distance or strike first.  What you don't do is wait whilst the aggressor closes the distance and allow yourself to be cornered.

Getting jumped outta nowhere by 10/12 guys is different especially if none of the attacker's intentions were made clear. But allowing a guy to walk up on you is a whole different thing. If you do that shit down here in the south, you're gonna walk straight into a headbutt or a sucker punch and it will be justified.

pre-emptive defense sounds like a great way to get you kicked off site, and it will be justified.

Close the gap, get back. Attack!!!!!!

OY, Chuck Norris, don't tar everyone in the south with your dirty brush, most "normal" people when faced with overly aggressive behaviour & confrontation will try to reasonably defuse the situation, not charge in intent to do as much damage as possible & fuck the consequences. 

I've met plenty with that attitude, they rarely amount to much but wear their convictions like a badge of honour, bit like a neck tattoo lol?

If pushing somebody back from arm's reach is enough to get you kicked out then oh well. If the aggressors continues after that first physical warning you have every right to defend yourself and get yourself back home to your family. You are even taught this in security.

I keep forgetting how stupid some of you dumb 50 + year old, cunts are on here. I honestly fear the worst for a lot of you half-wit's future endeavours. Luckily since some of you are already passed the half way mark or your life, that future won't be too long. That way you won't infect anyone else with your stupidity.

Nobody is being a hardman on here you ignorant dunce. It's about going home to your family safely. All it takes is a single punch to end a life and facilitating the process by allowing a aggressor within arm's reach is stupid. But as I mentioned before you guys are fucking stupid..... So by all means, please allow the next aggressor you encounter in your life, with the intent of caving your skull in, to get within arm's reach and try to "Reasonably defuse" the situation. See where that gets you.

you set a boundary with your arms raised and held forward, as soon as they enter within that range.

…. Which is an aggressive stance, and also takes more force to push back with raised arms than the defensive position with low arms and pushing back with the palm at the centre of mass

you realize i wasn't quoting the bit about pushing people back right? i was quoting this:

because that will get you kicked off site.....

Nobody is being a hardman on here you ignorant dunce. It's about going home to your family safely.

we're talking about one geardo losing his rag at an airsoft site, not taking a walk in downtown mogadishu....

 

[Floperator]

I walked into B&Q the other day and a guy came up to me and asked me if I wanted decking. Luckily I got the first punch in and that was that, but it just goes to show you should never let your guard down.

You can't imagine my surprise at the fact this thread has ended up going in this direction, the shock is immeasurable.

So you quoted the part I said was worst case scenario and a possibility like a dunce?

i'm guessing something like this?
