Close call there bud, What sort of idiot was shooting you in the face from 2Feet though?

Happens a lot in CQB....

True, But at our site your breifed to try and not enter buildings with your gun raised to head height to stop these sort of things happening. Torso is a bigger target to aim for too.

A good practice for sure but surely then if you're not entering with your gun raised you can't react quickly to someone inside?

 

[PT247]

just have it pointing at body height, can react just as fast if not faster as said before is a larger mass.... if they are crouching then they'll still poss get it in the face but reduces the chance of messing someones mush up at close range.

As said above, Gun up, just pointing down slightly towards upper torso. Then once inside it can come back up when you know that theres no one close to you.

The player involved did nothing wrong. I was holding a corner and needed to change mag so a friend took my place whilst I reloaded. As soon as he got there he said they had got to our corner and fell back. I was in total disbelief as when I swapped with him they were over 60m away (infact I remember uttering the words "no chance, what are you on about mate" when he told me. I went round the corner low in an effort to conceal myself a little better and just like my pal said, they were "there"! The player had his pistol at 45 degrees to the ground but at the point we both rounded to corner he pulled at the first sign of the enemy and the pics show the rest

mmh yea. I took one to the face (friendly fire, while walking back dead), less than a feet distance, luckily I had mesh and it just dented a bit. thing is, he used the doorway as a cover for shooting at targets much further away. I did atleast 2 headshots myself last game, one fired from hip (2m?) when healing a team mate, the other at someone laying at a roof, not presenting a lot more to aim at (15m?).

I got shot in the eye, it split the gap between my googles and mesh from under 2 foot away

Would you do us all a favour and show us a photo of you with the eyepro and whatever face-wear you had on at the time, please?

Hope you don't mind but i've nabbed the top one for my FB photo album "Airsoft Is An Adventure Sport".

Yeah no probs, in the first pic you can see this weeks injury. I got one to the forehead lol

 

[Ian_Gere]

Ah, I see what has happened now - exactly the same as happened to me in this pic:

My facemask was loose and as i ran it bounced opening up the gap between it and my eyepro. My solution is pads on the inside of the mask against my cheekbones so i can wear the mask very tight. Now it stays put and is much more comfortable. It also works with a greater variety of eyepro, since the mesh sits a bit forward, out of the way of eyepro frames.

 

[kriegar]

yeah i run a similar set up and i've had the same happen to me too, thankfully nowhere near as bad as that though.

 

[Russe11]

Non WW2 game for a change at Spartan. Although we had a couple of Tommies and there were 3 Nazi scum on the opposing side

 

[Ian_Gere]

That Aussie loadout of yours looks great, Russe11. It's a real shame about the goggles. Something in keeping with the era would make such a difference. Some desert driver's goggles, or even some Biggles' stylee'n'ting, with the mesh from those tan things replacing the original lenses would do it. Or even better, the mesh from a set of these - you can increase the strength of the mesh by wrapping the end of each wire around the last one to cross it @90 degrees; that way the shape of the squares cannot become deformed by the wire bending as to do so it has to be pulled inwards - with a loop preventing this, the only way for the squares to become deformed is for the wire to stretch in length and obviously there is not enough energy carried by any site legal FPS BB to do that.

 

[Russe11]

I do have some biggles type goggles, the problem is that they fog up like a bastard.

 

[PT247]

I had some Biggles type goggles for on my motorbike, and they fogged on that too so would def fog at airsoft.

Heres some recent pics of myself during the first Nova Scotia Airsoft game of the season at Vimy Ridge Field in Nova Scotia.

Yeah, I imagined as much - that was why I suggested replacing the original lenses with mesh; preferably interwoven wire mesh rather than perforated sheet, because it is better for seeing through as the largest dimension of solid material is the diagonal across the square produced by the crossed wires (approx 1.28mm) whereas the dimension bisecting the 'triangle-oid' shapes left between punched out circles of perforated sheet is about 1.5mm. The threshold for the shadows produced on your vision to completely disappear from view seems to be about 1.1mm, so neither of them will be as clear as polycarbonate lenses, but the larger the shadow, the more it creates the phenomenon of sudden involuntary refocussing of the eyes close up, as your eyes try to focus on the mesh rather than beyond it.

The mesh replacements I made for my ESS Advancer V12's are very good for vision - almost like wearing nothing at all.

Hi all,

i'm new and here is a few shots of me from a couple of weeks ago @ MKSpecOps.

Hopefully there'll be a few more from last Sunday's game posted soon and a few more in the future with a my loadout.
