I tried to make this point in a Facebook group and I just had a load of people trying to claim to that you can run a Springer bolt action just as fast.

Mmm, a lie doesn't become true just because loads of people repeat it.

Then when I pointed out that you could use these setups to run the action without interrupting your sight so they pointed to the srs and other replicas of more modern platforms that you can cycle the bolt without taking your eye off the scope completely missing my point.

Folk will always find excuses to justify what they've already decided to do, airsoft or otherwise.  It's up to sites to make their minds up on this one, but I'm sure we know how lackadaisical and/or clueless many of them are about the miles that some (not all) players will take when given an inch.

And I guess it's still not as exploitable as the much more common trigger-spammed DMR.

i was getting 60m hits at the range with 0.28g BBs. grouping wasn't great but they all hit a torso sized target on a stock gun. i only got rid of it as the POS scope couldn't be zeroed for left hand use.

That's good enough for me. And yeah the PSO is slightly offset isn't it?

 
As much as I like him (especially for a 'Tuber), House Gamers just did a video that demonstrates everything I hate about straight pull:




Could shoot that way faster than a DMR

That's exactly the chap/gun I was referring to. It's broken really isn't it?

Yup, if he's shooting it at his field's bolt action power levels then you can <ackchyually> rules lawyer it all day long, but let's be honest, he's breaking the first rule of airsoft, and nothing else matters after that.

I'd be OK with it being used with next-level-down rules, whether that's DMR power and rate of fire, or regular AEG levels if the site doesn't allow DMRs (and I don't think sites should because they're also super exploitable).

Yeah, can shoot that faster than I fire my 1.1J semi-auto sniper builds and his point about movement of pulling the bolt is false; I use HPA and gas snipers and you can pull the bolt with wrist movement alone so it's really not very pronounced anyway. If you can't pull a gas or HPA bolt without people spotting the movement... get better at doing it.
