What makes Airsoft a joke

[ImTriggerHappy]

really? must say i'm surprised. 

been hit plenty of times in fingers, and i normally run fingerless gloves and never felt even close to breaking.

Caught the joint on the side and just went.

I always wear fingerless gloves and have regularly ended a day with a couple of swollen fingers.

not sure how you'd implement it real time, sure you can get those suppressor mounted chrono's but i guarantee most folk wouldn't want to be running those all the time, i sure as hell wouldn't.

Albeit crude, couldn't that suppressor wrap around a custom made barrel? With a hop-up like cut out for whatever sensor is required.

In the space between the Rail and the Outer Barrel.

Doesn't mean anything the one that broke mine was a trishot springer all of 260fps.

That's scary

Or you just buy an xcortech x3300w

Nah it's just sods law.

Do not get me started on speedsofters who seem to think powerplaying is acceptable..

Define powerplay.. I always hear it but nobody’s ever gave it a definition. Or I wasn't listening, definitely the prior though ?.

 

[Rogerborg]

Define powerplay

I understand it to mean not acknowledging a hit (or many hits) until you've shot the person (or people) who hit you first.  Generally done when pushing forwards while wearing stripey socks buzzing on adrenaline.

That's distinct from simply not taking hits at all.

Ask @ryaw about it, he had a sense of humour failure on Sunday about being "mutualled" by a chap that he'd already put 4 or 5 (measured, deliberate) shots into.

Don’t be hating just because you couldn’t pull off such a look ?‍.

I see. Happens a lot at the depot from my own and friends experience. Probably due to something like a two minute investment into every “death”. When’s the next time you’re along? Got a new pistol to play with that would be relatively difficult to get banned for .

Breaching a room at the speed of sound, taking out everyone in said room despite being hit multiple times and then moving onto the next room..

Known a few folk to do that outdoors- game slows down they put on some plot armour and walk into an objective ignoring all hits until they've cleared the objective enough to give their side a chance.

Gets pretty annoying when they end up doing it multiple times per game, but i just keep shooting till the hand goes up.

The inner thigh is a great place to ensure someone takes a hit

Leads me onto my next gripe and this will be a controversial one, HPA. I am in no way a HPA fan, I despise it. I am sure that somewhere in the world there are sensible HPA users but I'm yet to meet one.

I run HPA for one reason only, the noise or lack of, I can't be doing  with so called "sniping" a like to use cover and stalk targets. As 50% of the time I found myself using my mk23 I built a gun to do the same job that wasn't a bolt action and didn't need a med 

never shot it full auto in anger, it is set low fps to take into account joule creep with .32 bbs 

regarding broken fingers it's easy to do with a bb, just doesn't happen that often.

liken it to a large window, if you hit it with your hand with quite a large amount of force you still won't break it until you reach its elastic limit, sharp little tap with a small hammer and crack

A sensible HPA user appears! 

I completely understand the appeal of the platform I really do, amazing performance and reliability and the potential for a realistic blowback function ect!

I do this all the time in BF4 with a PDW, obviously not real guns because game but they have recoil and use a weapon long enough and you can compensate for your primary, I was 3rd in the UK with the PDW for a while a couple years ago. It was pretty much like you described, rush into a room, pew pew pew, 3 guys dead, reload, move on. 

I've not used a blowback recoil rifle yet, but my 1911 airgun has some nice recoil feel to it which is cool - I wanted to get the Tokyo Marui SCAR-H with blowback but couldn't afford it so went for the VFC AEG.

The equivalent to power play would be rushing into a room with an infinite health hack on, killing everyone and then hitting a suicide bind to make yourself feel better.

Bit difficult to read and bf4 has as much to do with airsoft as airsoft does with actual warfare.

Breaching a room at the speed of sound, taking out everyone in said room despite being hit multiple times and then moving onto the next room..  

A power gamer is someone who enters a room/area and just fires everywhere without even trying to pick a target in the hope they get someone. It is a stupid skilless way to play.

Someone who does this and gets hit but ignores it until everyone else is dead is not a power gamer just a cunt. Although there are similarities between the two they are actually seperate species.

BF4 may not have much of a relationship with real life warfare ..... but Nintendo’s duck hunt did

Running in a gunning some players whilst simultaneously being shot is one part of the game, deliberately carrying on is of course cheating.

I do get the people blasting past me instead of taking a trade or such at such speed it would be difficult to get their numbers to report them to a marshal.  The only thing I wish they changed about the medic system is a bandage system instead of a count. Far too easy for people to never go back to spawn and no accountability for if they got medic'd or not.  I see it all the time I shoot a guy and 20 seconds later "oh yea this was my second life" away he goes. I'm sure some times it is and they just forgot but too easy to abuse IMO. I have actively seen a marshall tell someone to go back to spawn they had already been medic'd so at least they try to police it but it's not like they can watch a guy from spawn to death to know for sure. I watch as many of the videos online from the depot and too many people don't follow the 2 minute rule when they are dead. The way I see it I keep with my team until my first hit then I can get medic'd then I run like a mad man knowing if I fail I can just respawn. If you die behind enemy lines on your first life you've made your 2 minute bed.

I thought on the second hit you don’t need to wait you just go back?

I’ll be honest and say I cheat, a little, by not waiting in places I’m just not going to get revived but hey I’m paying so I’ll play as much as I can and it’s not going to have a great impact overall.
