Hi everyone,

Now we've all come across 'characters' on the field you know the type of people who make me wonder how it is even possible the posses the intellectual capacity to even operate a brush let alone an airsoft gun I'd love to hear all the experiences you guys have had with people of this caliber? ?

 
Had a experience at the towers cqb site and a lad ran into a room with 20 or us against him all he had was a mac10 he ran back out then decided couple of seconds later to run in again.

 
A game i was at fairly recently involved someone playing the role of a "Forward Controller" who would receive some intel as the game progressed and we would lose out substantially if this VIP were to be captured by the enemy. So up jumps this very confident lad, who was attending the day with a small entourage from whom he seemed to expect and receive a fair degree of deference, and insistently volunteers himself. He then proceeded to lead from the front for almost the whole game... :wacko:

TBF he was good at getting even the often recalcitrant rentals forward to where their firepower was useful and hats off to him for that because it frustrates the arse off me trying to do the same, especially since it really hurts me to move quickly, so if ppl hang back despite my attempts to lead by example it's doubly depressing! But still, that's hardly the point. I did manage to get him under some degree of control towards the end, but even then, after accepting my point that the gains we had made would all be for nowt if our team failed to suppress the opposition when he was hit out front, closer to the enemy than to the bulk of our team as was his MO, he still kept sprinting off from the impromptu security detail I'd sicced on him without even the merest word of explanation as to where he was going or to what purpose. In the end I put forward the idea that if he hadn't been prepared to put the team's needs ahead of his preferred play style then he shouldn't have put himself up for the job, but having done so, since we were stuck with him, he was stuck with us, and the guilt seemed to slow him down a fraction :lol:

 
When playing roomclearing, clearing team rarely expect the occupying team to use pyros.. 1 throw - 20 kills. lulz XD

 
I am the idiot here... I had no where to put my 40mm shower grenades except for 2 hidden pistol mag pouches in the inside front on my combat trousers, somehow I managed to set one off straight into my little man and then when removing the second after getting my breath back I managed to do it again.... just glad they weren't filled with CO2 that time! :D

 
Long time ago, and actually on a paintball game. There were 3 of us, my mate, a girl - her first game - and me. We are sitting in a cover, making the plan. "On the count of three, we run there." Everybody nods. "1... 2... 3... go". My mate starts running, the girl shoots him in the back from 1m. "What the hell was that?"

She says "I got scared."

:D

 
A guy on our side lit a pyro and held onto it. He eventually threw it but because he'd held it so long it exploded literally a foot away from him - right in the midst of us so we were all killed since friendly fire counted. We made our opinion of this painfully clear on the way back to respawn - the welts took a week to heal apparently haha

Word of advice kids: make sure if someone on your team is using pyro that they're not a complete idiot. This guy was lucky he didn't burn his hand.

The other day it was my turn to be that guy.

I moved up to cover with a brave rental player at a cqb site. After working out where the bbs were coming at us from, i made a quick plan, we both step out and put some plastic their way to get their heads down so i can move onto a flank.

As i step out, i put my head about three inches in front of his barrel and was rewarded with a fantastic welt on the back of my jaw.

There was much swearing

 
In one of my earlier matches I was covering out a window, Lined my red dot up on the advancing enemy and was swearing as a whole clip missed, there was a lot of incoming fire although nobody seemed to be shooting at me................

didnt realise my barrel hadnt cleared the window sill and the incoming fire was my bbs ricocheting everywhere, 2 team mates behind me were pissing themselves :unsure:

i saw something similar, some guy didnt have a mag in his gun. and was wondering why he couldnt hit anyone

 
Oh, if we're owning up to our own stupidity...

I'll not bore the long standing members rehashing the tales of my worst pyro mishaps, but one which I don't think I've mentioned before - when I first got my Thunder B CO2 nades I did read the destructions, understood why they should be followed, and also realised that there was no need to load the shell before arming it, which would introduce an extra layer of safety. I had also realised that, although filling them with paint powder could well be frowned on at my local site, I could fill them with finely chopped paper/plastic like confetti for additional lols, which I did. But then for some reason beyond my current ken I went ahead and attempted to arm a loaded shell without bothering to use the pin to lock the spring loaded striker down... for a second or so i sat there with it in my lap not quite comprehending what had happened, before throwing it into the far corner of my bedroom - 2 days of ear ringing and i was finding bits of confetti for a couple of weeks :wacko:

 
My favourite acts of muppetry are;

- Swapped the battery at lunch, or at least I removed the battery and left the replacement on top my kit. One the rare times didn't fire a few test shots while heading to the briefing and didn't realise until jumping round a corner to ambush a room full of people from behind (had taken 5 minutes of ninja sneaking to get there). If I hadn't said 'ahh f**k' then they prob wouldn't have noticed me, turned round and given me a peppering.

- Had a marshal pause the game in our immediate area to force some opp team people to take hits from a pyro the other side of a doorway. While he was doing this I was rummaging in my pockets for speed loader and managed to pull the pin on my timed bfg. It went off in my pocket 'killing' myself and all my teammates waiting to charge through the door about a second after the marshal restarted the game.

- Shot myself in the leg while standing around. Didn't managed to dodge the big push and still had to serve my time in the trenches.

My favourite ones witnessed;

- Guy jumps round a corner and unloads his pistol at me, I fire back hitting him, having not felt anything hit myself. Dude gets a bit angry as he's certain he shot me, and first. The marshal watching said he had only seen gas come out of the pistol. Guy checks the mag and realises he hasn't loaded it with bb, so laughs, takes the hit and reloads the pistol with another mag. Chatting to him during the break it turns out he hadn't loaded any of his pistol mags with bb's, or checked the one he reloaded with and had managed to repeat the incident after re-spawning.

- A sniper had complained about a particular character not taking hits, was suggested it was the vest and all the gear he was wearing rather than deliberate cheating. So after bit of an emotional discussion with the marshal he removes it all and plays the next games with no top on. Went well and satisfied the complainer who managed to hit him and it be acknowledged, unfortunately for him he managed to trip over into a bush full of nettles, which turns out he had a mild allergy to and went off to hospital with his whole torso swollen and red.

- A first time rental player asked the marshal how he adjusted the direction bb's coming out of the gun went and was told to point it at the bad-guys and press the trigger. Turns out he'd seen someone adjust their hop-up and gotten confused by their explanation but still very funny to hear.

Was he screaming the obligatory "take yer fookin hits" at the other players?

we had similar at a site two fully grown men squaring up to each other over not taking hit hits, till someone pointed out he had no mag in. Things quickly dispersed amongst a sea of tuts and laughter and "Mr No Mag" went home fairly sharpish. He is often still mentioned at breifings.

lent my BFG to another player. when he moments later walked back dead I asked him if he got a chance to use it. turns out he thought it was an impact grenade and had removed the sprint then held on it XD

Not sure whose fault it was as both of us made incorrect assumptions, but it seemed rather hilarious either way ^^
