If you're not prepared to do that, don't throw it at me. I think anything more than a mk5, lasers and flash grenades should only be used for milsim or similar purposes when the scenario calls for it and all players aware when signing up that they will be used. This way you will need to be prepared with suitable protection and expecting that level of realism. On a sunday skirmish no thank you, its meant to be a laugh running around getting shot, I dont want to worry too much about being deafened or blinded by something I have no desire to use myself therefore wouldnt appreciate being chucked at me.

Guy on my team had a thermo somehow uncap and strike in his trouser pocket, how this happened I don't know (large combat pocket so luckily not near his tackle) and that resulted in 3rd degree burns and a lengthy hospital visit in A&E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommikka Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 As previously stated on the recent threads, I had a team mate subject to a faulty mk9 which exploded as soon as it was struck His glove was ripped apart and luckily took the impact The photos of him then went up on the walls of the factory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommikka Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 At a certain event in Cooehill down, game on was triggered by a petrol explosion in one of the clapped out cars in the middle of the Main Street. Instead of rushing forward everyone hesitated and stood in awe/astonishment at the size of the mushroom flame cloud, and the pyro man jumped into his van putting out the flames During the party he was constantly congratulated on the effects, to some he confessed that due to some delays in starting the game the petrol he had deposited had fully soaked into the entire car, dripped around etc which made a vast fireball in most directions rather than the designed directed fireball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also can you imagine carrying a 1000 nerf darts? Lot's of airsofters are using airsoft to compensate. We have all come across the guys who are frightened of their own shadow in day to day life but put them in camo on an airsoft field and they become shouty god. Nothing wrong with it normally but most of the worst offenders I have come across for getting arsey with someone generally come from either the 9st or the 19stone crew and I don't mean the big stocky 19st. 99% of airsofters are good lads/ladies but there is that minority that take the relative safety of their surroundings to act out in a way that sucks.

Head Moderator Jedi_Master Posted January 9, 2018 Head Moderator Share Posted January 9, 2018 I only get "shouty" because I cannot hear anything after getting pyro'd (again!). I would wear hearing protection but then would not be able to hear the other shouty gods. Catch 22. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like you need to adjust your camo for the landscape/ role, i run a DMR role in full DPM gear, got hidden on a banking and my own teammates (ex servicemen) jumped when i whistled at them walking past lmao, brilliant gear is DPM for this time of year in woodland.

Supporters Prisce Posted January 10, 2018 Supporters Share Posted January 10, 2018 ^Totally agree with that statement. We were at a game where there were a group of current serving servicemen, the hire portion of our team and the less experienced players immediately admitted defeat and said “We are going to lose every game”. Once we had explained that as a soldier they don’t won’t to get shot, instinct tells them not to, and as Airsofters with unlimited respawns getting shot is the way to win, they sorta eased up and we won the day. I think the perception that they are trained operators vs us “pretenders” makes people give up before even trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I'm aware you probably already know about them) Cut sounds over a certain decibel level (I believe 85db off the top of my head) but otherwise amplify ambient sound, great for hearing the other team whispering to each other in corridors haha! I use the ones without a boom mic (slightly cheaper) and you can find cracking deals on ebay for them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never get why people mention when they get the drop on ex service people, anyone could get the drop on anyone. Just because you've managed to hide from someone relatively well holds no baring on who or what they are. Should have dropped a mk9 near them imagine how much they would have jumped then compared to a whistle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
