I quite like a bit of fun to my looks/ loadout. more army of two/ umbrella corp. I don't like over serious loadouts (milsimmers worst nightmare) I've been after some knee and shin pads.

Or did we? Anyway, half a dozen of us sent a few desultory rounds at the MTP-or-tree, then wrote it off as tree. Then, when we'd got all comfy and chatty, the tree lit us up like a barbecue.

As we got off the kit element a while ago. And I think all kit has it's place even if I think its shit. Is often more the misuse/abuse of kit that tends to be the real issue. Like the commonality between hpa/super responsive trigger electric guns and being a trigger spamming, corner pre-shooting asshat. I think my main gripe (if were talking non kit gripes). Is people trying to melee kill you by waving a rubber/foam implement at you round a corner at you and because they touched you with it expecting you to take it as a kill. Essentially a blind touch kill where they don't have the drop on you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PopRocket123 Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 While I agree any magnified optic above 4X are utterly useless, along with those crap, wobbly spring loaded flip to side magnifiers I wouldn't say they don't have a place.

I snipe and have used a 4x for years, then switched to a 6x and I prefer the latter one. Mine are mesh goggles. I do like them because people see fuck all in them so I get the advantage, but I feel it's unfair. Come on people, can't you see (pun intended) you are blind as a bat in them?

Mesh and Shooting glasses are NOT eye protection. Trust me loosing an eye isn't fun and it doesn't take much. Make sure there is absolutely no way a BB, dust, branch, or bits of rusty mesh, paint is getting in directly or indirectly.

Just curious... Fortunately not, accident when young with a stick. but even a slight scratch to the cornea and a bit of infection from dirt can do it. I take no chances now, either wear a dye 4 or normally Bolle X800's and a mesh face mask. Neither steam up at all for me, I prefer the Bolle's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skara Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 I never had problems with shooting glasses, mine have a really wide lens so it's next to impossible to get a bb in there. The only way I can think of is to actually lose my eyepro when someone's shooting at me, which, again, is next to impossible because the frame is squished between my head and my ear piece/mouth pro straps. On a side note: high rof guns. Not because the receiving end is gonna be pissed (honestly it's a great counter cheating system, drowning in bbs makes you call hits :P) , but because you literally empty a magazine in seconds in full auto (don't start the REEEEEE git aim/full auto is for sissies thing please).

Steveocee Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 High ROF = Accuracy by volume. If you can't hit your target in 3 shots then something needs to change whether it's your tactics or whether you should give up airsofting is another debate.

It's also suppression, target's gonna keep his head down when there's hundreds of bbs zipping past his head allows for your teammates to flank and take him out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T'was an answer to Steve about not hitting a target in 3 shots I do totally agree with you, low ROF and an almost infinite supply of ammo is the best configuration for a support weapon. I used a 11.1v in my M4 yesterday cuz I forgot my 7.4s and I went through 6 360bb mags, whereas I usually go through 3 tops I was rather disgusted but it definitely helped with a couple of cheaters.

When you suppress you're not actively targeting a person, you're putting some BB's down in the rough vicinity so that heads stay behind cover. That's totally different to drawing a rope towards the target with a high ROF because you're too lazy/incompetent to aim properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommikka Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Suppression can be used in the following manner: 1) To keep people ducked behind their defences whilst others advance / flank them 2) To deny an area - preventing the opposition from advancing 3) To show how manly you are at spraying BBs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
