Speedsofters

Nah I mean shoot them in their goggles/eyepro. I don't usually like doing it but if I'm having issues with someone not taking their hits promptly then usually a BB bouncing off in front of their eyes gets a reaction. 

Obviously safety comes above everything else. 
To knowingly target someone’s glasses to ‘get a reaction’ is completely unacceptable behaviour there’s absolutely no excuse for it , what if they have relatively small glasses on and your round hits them at an angle or they’ve either knowingly OR un knowingly bought a knock off set of glasses or mask ? You going to go up to them and say “that’ll teach you to take your hits !” When there laying on the floor in agony because the round has either ricocheted off one lense or just smashed its way through and hit them in the eye ?

I freely admit on more than one occasion I’ve deliberately targeted a painful spot (arm pit,inner thigh,bony prominence,etc) or kept my finger on the trigger just that wee bit too long as someone wasn’t taking there hits (as most have I’m sure) but deliberately target there eyes ? This is one of the few occasions I’ve got absolutely zero sympathy with you and if I ran a site that a player did this at i’d ban them on the spot AND give there details to any other site I was in communication with . There is NO reason at all to deliberately target someone’s eyes .

He is right, I posted before thinking. 

I apologise for my comment. I have deleted them.

Good of you to admit it’s a bloody stupid thing to do BUT you have insinuated you’ve done it so me personally I think you do need to take a moment and think about your actions and the possible catastrophic consequences of it .

 Bollocking given , lesson learned , end off . ?

 
It was actually horrendous what I posted and I think I'm gonna leave the forum and stop playing for a while till I get my priorities straight.  

I am seriously sorry, safety should be above everything else. 


I wouldn't go that far dude, just don't shoot people in the face.

You've noted the error so learn from it, remember it and play on.

 
I shot a guy in the crotch by accident. I felt bad and it was scary to think it could happen to me. ?

What do you guys count as over shooting? Pretty much all my deaths are 2 shots in to me. I try to single fire myself but the more I get double tapped the more frustrated I get. 

Last game I played a few speedsoft type players running a pistol kept blasting past me when we both shot each other they are already away before I can ask them how they are so sure they got me before I got them. I felt like trades are pretty common in cqb but some people seem to think they shot first so it doesn't count.

Shot more people in the knackers than I can remember and honestly no fucks given.

1 when possible but generally with how fast my trigger is 3ish is the norm. Overshooting is difficult because it is circumstances not just how many shots you have to consider, but not bothered by it either because its only a bb.

I hate people who give the I shot first when its like a millisecond in it. They either call too or words will be had.

Don't pack in, while I didn't read your original post, I'm sure your not as daft as it made you sound, & im guessing that some of the sites you've played, or more specifically some of the other players there, had pissed you off enough to make you feel it's justifiable, now you know it's not so move so move on & be the bigger man in dealing with them, I always find shots to the inside of the thigh sting like a motherfucker, works for me?

 
Cqb I tend to double/triple tap in the chest because the adrenaline is flowing and everyone is rushing around, a lot of people tend to not register that first hit on a PC when you’ve got the noise of your gear when running. 

For woodland playing as a DMR, I tend to shoot, see where it goes and correct if required. If they’re behind a bush then I tend to fire 2-3 to account for the leaves/branches getting in the way

overshooting is when you keep going after the call of hit.

until the hand goes up there's no upper limit to the acceptable round count.

edit: to clarify bb's already in the air don't count, it's happened to the best of us, as long as when you see the hand you stop pulling the trigger.

agreed, you said something stupid sure, got called out on it yes, but you've changed your mind so no need to leave.

as tackle says just find another area to go for (which on a tights clad speedsofter shouldn't be difficult :P  )

LOL :lol: I was shouting "HIT!" multiple times the other day and then realised the hand I'd raised was behind the building so the fella couldn't see it..... no wonder he kept shooting and I kept swearing. :lol: :rolleyes: :lol:

I swear my first hit is almost always in the bollox.... 

I shoot until I see a hand or hear hit. Then apologies if hands up and I have let one or two rip. I only use semi auto tho so never pepper people to death.

Meh, I shot first bullshit, both call the hit laugh about it, respawn and try again! Whats the point in arguing.

Whats your take on say this footage 5 shots in 



I see nothing wrong with that. 5 shots is hardly overkill for a moving target.

No biggy, however I'd of thought a couple were enough. Can't really say how many met the target and that's the trouble with vids.

If the fella had shouted "hit", put his hand up quicker and then more shots rained in I'd think it overkill.

 
Pistol shots at a reasonable range against a target wearing a tacticool vest who doesn't put his hand up or even react.  Not a big deal, it's hardly a Licking Orangutan incident.

Don't sweat it, Game Cam, we all say daft things that we don't really mean from time to time.  I once wrote that Nuprols probably weren't so bad.

 
agreed with above, that's not overkill in my book.

overkill would be 5 shots after the hand is seen to go up.
