But when marshals at the briefing specifically - and make a point of saying very slowly clearly like addressing primary school kids every time - “We do not run a bang rule, single shot when close!” I see no reason to suddenly stop play start following some new made up rule that a random guy just seemed to announce out of the blue. SIngle shot when close. So I single shotted him with my pistol. And when he kicked up a massive fuss, I couldn’t be bothered with a conflict, so I just took the imaginary hit and wandered off (while he ignored mine because apparently I was already dead so it didn’t count) But boy, this thread has gone apeshit! tbf if you didn't call it before he moved on then it doesnt count. in your position i'd have taken it, and thanked them for trying to be courteous, but in his position i'd have been ready to let loose if you did anything other than call.

"Argument" is like nepeta cataria to those crazy airsoft guys, they love it. And you also used the word "Airsoft" which also has an emotional affect on them. I think you may have found a formula that makes forum members curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's usually the case for me, ill tell them there is no bang rule and try and get the first shot off. other occasions however Ill concede to them getting the drop on me if they are close enough for me not to actually be able to do anything about it. on occasion its happen to be that we've taken a 50/50 fist bumped and both walked off having a laugh over it. I've never had a bad experience doing what I've mentioned, maybe I'm lucky and just played against people that are a good sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head Moderator Jedi_Master Posted July 12, 2018 Head Moderator Share Posted July 12, 2018 Sportsmanship does count. I have had times in the dark basement of The Mall whilst crouching in a doorway when a rifle has tapped me on the shoulder or helmet and someone has asked if I want to take the hit. They did not want to shoot me that close up and I take the hit and thank them. Same way that if I am crouching in a dark room and a player walks past without seeing me, I have option of shooting or walking behind them. Basically that close it is like getting a knife kill. I have had several pistol duels where the same player from the other team and I keep meeting. Sometimes one catches the other unawares and you know who had the drop, so a quick fist bump and move on, and later have a chat in the safe zone.

Supporters Rogerborg Posted July 12, 2018 Supporters Share Posted July 12, 2018 'kin hell, if there's no MED and an explicit no-bang rule, just shoot them and avoid this entire daft debate. I had this a few weeks back, with a player who was adamant that they'd offered a point-blank surrender and I'd said "Yes". Thing is, they'd done it quietly from behind a doorway in a noisy environment, and I was equally sure that I hadn't even heard them, let alone accepted. I had made some sort of surprised verbal ejaculation, but I'd assumed they'd misfired or were out of ammo or similar, dropped the grenade in my hand intending to frag us both, it didn't go off, and debate and disagreement ensued. I belatedly I took the hit to end it while thanking him for his consideration but requesting that next time he just shoot me if he's in a position to do so. Honestly, I'd rather get a bruise than argue the toss. I'm there for the former, not the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should probably mention I drew my pistol and shot him fairly quick, he’d just continued forward shooting at other players so by the time I pulled the trigger he’d moved in front of me. I didn’t just wait for ages then pop him in the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters Prisce Posted July 12, 2018 Supporters Share Posted July 12, 2018 I can weigh in on this argument a touch, we played a Zombie game at a local site, I didn’t want to defend so I stood in the open trying to get shot and no bugger would shoot me... Marshall threw a load of BBs at me in the end just to let me get back to playing. We got through most of them, got to the end 6-7 left, one was my team mate, the other my brother. I have run in with my Mk23, snuck around the back , put my gun up to 2 rentals, they took the “hit” and walked, shot my team mate in the arse, because that’s what you should do, shot the other 2 next to him, last guy was my brother, I put my gun up to his head(all I could see over the barrier- he’s wearing mesh face and eye pro) I have said “bang?” Resting my barrel on this eye pro, and the fucker still shoots me.(for you pedantic wankers, someone else shot the other 2 I mentioned) Now, the site had no bang rule, but that’s my brother, and I’m not ever going to live with myself if I had shot him and it had gone through the mesh and caused real damage, In my opinion, I did the right thing, but, Marshall’s agreed he was in the right, and I should have shot him. I don’t mind respawning and going back, but surely a little bit of common sense should have ensued and he should have taken it...no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s more a What If, and to be fair, mesh/goggles/face mask, I’m not shooting anyone when my barrel is resting on your nose. I did buy him some locusts, but he prefers mesh and is happy with it. Can’t get him to change his mind. Ill always stay on the side of Rather Safe than Sorry when it comes to someone else’s safety, me on the other hand, risk is all part of the fun.

First few years of playing, all the sites I played observed a bang rule, now whether that was because maybe technically less was known about the potential for injury, or maybe it was the "done thing", I dunno ?, but I've always been fine with it, ethically always felt right & personally I never had nowt to prove, been there done that, so playing has always just been about the fun side.
