Gorilla316 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Hi. Are there games where both teams have limited Amo for their units??. This would make the games alot more interesting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steveocee Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 There are. You get it more at Milsim events but the CQB near me did a 3rnd pistol match which was good fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Adolf Hamster Posted December 2, 2020 Supporters Share Posted December 2, 2020 as mentioned milsim type events tend to have restricted ammo. i'm kind of for it in a milder interpretation for regular skirmishing as well, nothing too mad just say 1000 rounds per game or something like that. would maybe help with the hicap heroes cutting down every bush that twitches at 50rps.

DerDer Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Played a few milsim games with ammo limits. Changes the dynamics quite a bit. Particularly if there are different limits for support guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some I have been to have list of guns approved, others it was characteristic (bipod/length). Some guns are a bit of a grey area like the MG 36.

Chev Chelios Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Seen a few simple rules work well. You are limited to 7 mags of 30 rounds (unless GBB then can carry as many as you like) reload at spawn. If you wanted to use a highcap or have unlimited ammo you had to carry a pack weighing at least 40 pounds. Made the "machine gunners" act more like gunners. Armour rules also makes games more interesting. If you had plates weighing at least 5 pounds each you got 3 lives before having to respawn first two anyone could apply a "bandage" 3rd you had to drink a water bottle from a medic where as those that did not only had one "bandage" revive. This then also opens the medic roll humping water around all day and lots of doctors and nurses RP. Another aspect that makes games more interesting is objective based play where pew pew is of a secondary nature. I spent most of my first day at a 24hr in a bush trying to make out what the other team had written on boards around their HQ turns out it was their command radio frequency we could then listen in on. Sorry I am rambling. TLDR Yes limiting ammo makes for more of a tactical game but not necessary any less fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impulse Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 I like the idea of limited ammo games, but I'm also not a massive fan of milsim. Then again, I do snipery things, so limited ammo is just a normal day for me. VSR mags can only hold so many BBs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannonfodder Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 If you really want some fun try limiting your ammo in a normal skirmish. You really have to think about what you're doing when you've got 3 40 round mags in a GBBR and everyone else has multiple high caps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannonfodder Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Definitely a case of pick your shots and don't stay in the same spot. It helps if you're a sneaky little bugger who can pop out from unexpected places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The number of times this has happened to me and my ghillie shenanigans absolutely, i've ran with some pretty damn quiet gats in the past and it doesn't matter how little noise it makes when the guy you just hit knows where you are.

heroshark Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Did a private game at strikeforce few years back. Rules where you could carry any gun with 50bbs or less per mag and no tac gear bar holsters. Was one of the best days out I've had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that would actually get me to dig out my old dropleg holster, because it has a mag pouch on the front! Sounds like it'd be a lot of fun.

AlphaBear Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 One of the games we play at my local is a strict semi only game. There’s no restriction on the amount of ammo you can use but it sure as hell changes the dynamics and it makes you think more about tactics etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilMonkee Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Gunman Airsoft Filmsim games are ammo limited. Not MilSim but FilmSim, slight difference but a good ruleset I have enjoyed for years. Makes support guns actually worth having. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
