Bad Publicity?

[sonofsammo]

There's a rather worrying turn of events in an anti KM FB group.
The admin has decided he's going to start a publicity campaign to have a 1J limit imposed on all UK sites.
Apparently his campaign starts on Monday.
This, imho, isn't good for the sport in any way shape or form.

I understand he thinks he's doing the right thing - but at risk of totally fucking our sport forever 😞

I won't go into the details, or background as you can find them on FB easily enough yourself.

The thing is, if he starts any kind of coordinated attack on our sport, what's the collective ability to respond and defend ourselves?
It seems that any kind of anti-gun supporters would support a decrease in the number of deadly BB guns.
So in the famous words of Eeyore - "That's right Pooh, we're fucked"

y'know its an interesting issue.

 

not all of the uk has the luxury of the 1.3/2.5j limit and some places are stuck at a flat 1j.

 

and guess what- folks still run hot. indeed when caught out it's always "oh that spring was for when i went to the mainland for a game, musta forgot to change it back" or some bullshit excuse along those lines.

 

what that says to me is that the allowable limit isn't the problem, it's the proper enforcement of said limit to ensure a level playing field.

 

it worries me how so very easily i could run at higher energies when sites barely chrono at the start of the day, don't understand the difference between fps/joules (let along joule creep), and sure as hell don't chrono mid-game. indeed as i recounted in another thread the only time i've ever had an hpa reg zip tied was when i did it myself to demonstrate to the marshals it was a thing you could do.

The collective  force is UKAPU.

They will hopefully get on the case

I sincerely hope this gains absolutely no traction whatsoever...

Are you involved with UKAPU.

I've been a member for years. 

Good work done by them 👍

And will this 1joule limit Stop the headshots ??........... of course it won’t and we will still have people QQ’ing.

 

TBH any/most/all sites are “Private land” so they have the right to set the limits and of course we have the rules and a waiver form to sign ... if you don’t like the rules just don’t play there, simple really and personally the hits on the fingers hurt so much more than the head ever has - you live by the sword.........

 

Let’s hope UKAPU (am a member) can weigh in on this but I don’t suggest anyone from ASFUK (here) goes on that FB page and starts commenting else it will turn into a flame war and the “cancel culture” could be directed at our “safe sapce”

I have been looking at the posts on fb with interest,cant post up cause I dont have a fb account nor do i want one but it's very interesting 🤔

[Misery]

[Adolf Hamster]

It's the kicking mustang expose group fb. But I found it on you tube. I'm not signed up to fb cause I think its crap lol

😉👍

[MiK]

Actually there’s been some split on that Expose FB page from reading it some don’t like the way the Page is heading so made a new splinter page “who is.....” so we should just sit back and let them “Headshot” each other

 

@Shamal I use my wife’s FB account to snoop around ‘flex

[Recoil_]

He's said that he's dropping it now. I think community pressure trying to show him that he's going to damage the sport has finally prevailed for now.

How fucking retarded do you have to be to get involved in this shit? KM is a tool and needs to just fuck off but all these clowns on FB are just drawing attention to him. They all just need to grow the fuck up and mind their own business before they get airsoft fucking banned. This is what I refer to as a sort your fucking life out situation which is literally the only advice that should be offered to these morons.

 

sorry for all the f-bombs but this shit really winds me up. Guns, bullets, grenades, airsoft rifles etc are just inanimate objects its the retards that pick them up or post stupid videos of themselves doing stupid shit who are the real danger.

[Misery]

some of the shit on that page is unreal that siggi is over the top

[typefish]

And I didn't even get to say anything! 🥲

 

I'll be keeping an eye out. Thank you to those who messaged us 

 

[Adolf Hamster]

so i done went and looked at the page, i may be slightly regretting it......

 

Jesus Christ there are some obsessed people on there, if they aren't trolling then they really need to rethink what they're doing with their lives.

He is a bit off rails and i think he drop the case after post from one of army veterans pleading his side of story that he is advocating for himself rather community . Clear sign something is off is that group had almost 3k followers now has 1k. And last one man hunt lead only in dividing community even more.

troo troo 

the amount of drama on failbook is amazing - the amount of times the misses has said “WTF” is amazing and she doesn’t swear usually

[Misery]

hahaha totaly,haha opisite for me  its when mine doersnt swear i know theres an issue 🤣

[Speedbird_666]

Spent 5 minutes looking at the FB group. Wow...just...wow.

 

I'm not a fan of KM, but to join a FB group just to shit on him? That's mental. Then you've got an egotistical Admin who thinks he's the savior of UK Airsoft by imposing more restrictions?

 

This 'Siggi Langnasen' character can, quite frankly, get fucked.

[leadly]

Yeah I can feel myself getting annoyed just at the thought of reading what has been said.

 

So wound up that I wrote a big rant.....and then deleted it. Unlike some people on Facebook and other platforms don't realise, just because you have an opinion, dosn't mean you need to share it with everyone!

[Druid799]

Me personally I don’t see a problem with a 1joule blanket limit .
