What do you look for in an airsoft blog/channel?

[Skara]

I love ptfe and sorbothane. Essential kit. And thanks for the positive comments about my blog glad it's helpful 

Heh, different applications tbf, they do make sense on a bolt action, not so much on an AEG though

By the way, I am afraid it's time to write another 2 or 3 articles your content is really enjoyable, at least for me, what makes it good is the little tips here and there, impressions and your honest opinion on whatever is the topic.

ptfe and sorbo are fine in the right places.

it's when you see it being used for replacing screw threads or holding the handguard on then it begins to become questionable.

however i do use ptfe a fair bit on cylinder heads, a good head won't need it but a bit of ptfe can do wonders to improve a poor head.

Pressure is on... 

I'm busy doing aeg/milsim related stuff for the England vs Scotland game at the moment, I don't know if that's of any interest? 

And yeah ptfe is useful in the right places...

I'd say go for it if you feel like writing something, worst case scenario nobody will read it. In any case it's up to you..

Ooh Facebook dramas.

There is a point from both sides:

Full face protection - I’m in agreement with that.  But there is no airsoft standard that requires full face protection for all players 

Restriction on deliberate headshots - I’m also in agreement with the site for having a policy to reduce the risk associated with just eye protection.

Though disclaimers don’t sign away players rights to a safe environment, it shows a mitigation in place against a risk, and players should be reading what they are signing.

Shooting cheats in the head: No matter how special someone thinks they are, unless they are site staff then they are not the ‘cheat police’

Personally, whilst I see his point about cheaters, you have got to be an adult about it.

Additionally, if you deliberately breached a condition of a waiver that you signed, you don't really have a right to complain.

 

[Tackle]

What's their policy on "that bloke is always well hidden in cover, so I'm literally gonna have to repeatedly target his head, on purpose like cos that's all I ever see" ?.

I agree that the only "police" on site should be staff, but if the guy was repeatedly cheating, which I'm guessing is non hit taking to body shots, AND it's all on camera, then surely he deserves all he gets, cheats are a scourge on our sport.

Also, if they've banned the shooter, if the cheating has been verified, I do hope the cheats been banned too ?

EDIT: only just spotted that it was Kicking Wankpot that got banned, don't particularly care for YouTube "celebs", good riddance to bad rubbish lol.

Now having watched what is probably the offending video .....

 

[Adolf Hamster]

We've talked about km before and his penchant for intentional headshots, its plainly evident that some of them are intentionally aimed as such.

Yes face pro is a valid point, and it is a risk you take, but it is not a defence for being a dick.

I always hold that you should shoot centre of mass of what you can see, if all you can see is their head then it's a valid target, but if they give you something else to shoot at go there first, which in some of his videos this is a thing he evidently does not adhere to.

 

[Sawyer]

To be honest, I don't agree with whinging about being shot in the face.

We don't use accurate guns, not even the sniper rifles are. Don't want to bleed from the chops? Wear full face or stfu.

Banning people for headshots is, on the face of it, daft, but really he's been banned for breaching the waiver. 

 

[Tackle]

I'm in the hosp so trying to watch it with no volume, but it's immediately evident he's going for headshots, often purposely moving the cross hairs from centre mass up to head before pulling the trigger.

Yep, he's a dick lol?

Popular YouTubers set expectations for new players, and for players who seek to emulate them for the attention that it demonstrably generates.

Licking Mustard clearly sets out to seek drama.  HEDSHOOTED CHEETAR!!!!  is pretty much his stock in trade now, along with shooting from out of bounds or inside MED.

Anyway, good riddance to him, and I hope he gets BTFO'd from every site in the UK.

Video reported as harmful / dangerous acts @0:15, for promoting deliberate face shots.  Which it does.

 

[Musica]

People have no right to moan about  getting shot in the head but at the same time I never go for them on purpose. Instead of shooting cheaters in the head as some type of "justice" do the right thing. Call yourself out of the game and deal with it correctly find a marshal if you can see one. If not get a good description on the offender and then go report it. Shooting them in the head won't stop them cheating and it ruins the game for everyone they need to be dealt with correctly so they can be ejected. 

As for his reticle being on their face it means nothing he adds the reticle in post while editing which is why I hate sniper videos it makes it looks like they aim exactly where the BB goes every time. He clearly has a reputation for head shots. If the site owners reviewed his footage then the cheater who wasn't taking hits should also get a ban at least for a few months as there is no smoke without fire.  

 

[Rogerborg]

IIRC (and I may not) didn't he proudly claim that he'd taken headshots against some players who offended him by talking to each other while dead?

As in, he deliberately headshot already dead players to punish them for not standing there silently.

Quite how he heard what they were saying from outside of a 30m MED escapes me, but I'm sure his Super Sonic Sniper Hearing managed to determine from that range that they were talking about in-game things rather than just chatting.

Sometimes while watching these YouTube airsofters, I feel like I'm the only one who plays at a site/in a manner which deems full-auto up close to be poor etiquette!? To then make the amount of pain you've brought someone by doing this your video title, definitely sets the wrong tone. KM sprayed someone in the face with a Master Mike from literally a metre or two. He went on to claim it was an accident but it was something which was likely to happen when you blind/pre-fire corners with a grenade launcher at head height.

 

[Lozart]

Anyone know what site this is? I'm wondering what their bolt action MED is as he clearly states that the FOB he's firing into is "about 20-25m" away.

He put it down as an accident. But then glorified it in the thumbnail and title. So all the little cronies went on to say what a great shot it was and how cool and so on. He is an extremely toxic player.

Yeah I get the feeling most of the people sticking up for him, haven't actually played airsoft before. In another video he mag dumped a couple of guys with a Mac 11 on full-auto from again a handful of metres. The comments were mostly "If you don't want to get shot, don't play airsoft" - which of course completely misses my original point.

Dead men don't talk to the living is always the way I play that rule.

I talk about non game stuff if people are dead near me and there's no action to watch.
