Guest DrAlexanderTobacco Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 "Touch sensitive body armour" - curious as to how that would work. Would a touch-sensitive vest be able to differentiate between a bb and a twig you brush past? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrackCommandoUnit1972 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Why don't they just use the military stuff for hit detection like MILES? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resistor170 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Is this going to be aired on tv? 'This would be awesome' was my first thought, swiftly devoured by 'this is a disaster that will ruin airsoft as we know it', swiftly repeated again in the tune of that REM song. If it's on tv then surely somehow...somehow they will turn it into shipwrecked or love Island or I'm a celebrity get me out of here 🤮. Maybe not, if the people are paying good money to enter then they won't want the TV geniuses to ruin their game. But then maybe the TV fuckwits will make celebrity versions and their own silly hunger games versions. In which case expect our sites to be booked out nationwide with the masses of sheep who live to be someone else because they never spent more than 10 minutes of their lives thinking for themselves. I could happily go on but I've satisfied myself enough already and I may have gone slightly off topic at some point near the start. ... Or maybe it won't be on tv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine playing airsoft when there is £100k at stake, how many people would not take their hits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommikka Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Call me a cynic ...... but this is a an ‘article’ about a ‘job advert’ ...... or as I read it a publicity stunt getting free advertising for a website https://www.telegraph.co.uk/luxury/technology/would-buy-95-million-private-island-online-amazon-millionaires/amp/ https://www.thesun.co.uk/travel/8312050/get-paid-75k-year-road-testing-supercars-yachts/amp/ Aaron Harpin sounds very much like a self publicist, very similar to Justin Toohig the self publicist who makes up job adverts to gain free advertising for his websites https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/11322099/Paintball-tester-advert-attracts-10000-applications.html There is of course a far easier method to play competitive Battle Royale / Hunger Games and to know whether people have been hit Ive run it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Druid799 Posted April 10, 2019 Supporters Share Posted April 10, 2019 Very true bud , but MILES gear works of sensors on a set of straps worn on the body and helmet and the laser unit attached to your gun has quite a wide spread beam so the sensors can pick a ‘hit’ up , to record a bb hit your entire kit would need to be reactive , don’t see how that’s possible .

Grey Posted April 11, 2019 Author Share Posted April 11, 2019 From a business POV £1,500pd is top design agency money. If its such an important project you'd want professional input and a team from the agency who help bring the vision to life. On the face of it...good idea and probably people who will see this as exciting and want to participate but hiring a single designer for £45k doesn't sound sensible and possibly taken from the Fyre Festival business plan 🙃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
