You can make all the rules you want; - no headshots - minimum engagement - no full auto inside buildings - FPS/joule limits - HPA regulator tagging - hit calling - limited number of re-spawns It doesn’t matter how many rules you make, in an honour based sport if someone decides that they aren’t going to play by then because they want to hurt someone with a hot weapon/game the system and get an unfair advantage then they are going to do that. Dropping the joule/FPS limit won’t make a blind bit of difference because, as my old nan used to say ‘whether they are dancing round a fire in a rainforest or eating chips in Rhyl, some people are just fucking cunts’. I agree with previous posters that any internal discussion about FPS/joule limitations is not helpful and suggests that the current set of rules are inadequate and therefore dangerous, that as a sport we can’t self regulate and be trusted to be safe and therefore should be banned outright. It just plays into the hands of Tory MPs who want to score cheap political points and detract from the colossal fuck up this country has become.

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" Expand I wonder what form this publicity campaign is gonna take? If he is gonna canvas opinions from members of airsoft community then surely he will lose. If it's gathering opinion of general public then most of them wont know what he is on about or will,at most,have no reasonable thoughts either way. 🤔 Regards On 30/01/2021 at 12:57, MiK said: 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 Expand Yeah but I might see something I don't want to!

Expand You’ve hit the nail on the head there, I don’t think a 490FPS sniper with 0.5 bbs at 75 yards is particularly painful. Certainly no more painful than a QCB nozzbag with a £40 springer pistol, no MED and .2s that gets the jump on you and pops you in the back of the neck at a couple of meters. There is also an argument here for people who don’t like getting shot shouldn’t do airsoft. I haven’t read the Facebook group (don’t use social media) but it does seem to be the crux of the problem that some people just don’t like getting shot and will bitch and whinge regardless of the FPS limit.

Expand i found it interesting way back when i was doing the massive spreadsheet to figure out the true answer to wether heavier bb's really are better that an 0.5g bb fired at 2.5j at about 20m has about 1.3j of energy, which corresponds to a point blank rifle. the being prepared to be shot at argument is a tricky one. yes when i go on the field i choose to accept that getting pinged is part of the process, yes i choose not to wear lower face protection. however i don't choose to be the punching bag for some knob who wants to intentionally cause pain because he thinks that's some cool or clever thing to do (how that's achieved be it unnecessary shots to sensitive areas, full auto spraying up close, cheating chrono etc will of course vary).

On 30/01/2021 at 16:58, Zarrin said: I assume you don't snipe or do much DMR stuff - it would diminish the effectiveness and enjoyability of those roles considerably. Expand it is feasible to do some level of sniping shenanigans on a 1j limit, although you are very much reliant at that point on ammo weight and stealth and it is much easier to get caught out. although as much as i like the challenge that a dmr role entails i must admit to feeling it would change the game dynamic a fair bit if you could rely on a bigger chunk of extra range. that said you also don't have to worry about med's so someone creeps up you can just shoot them straight up rather than debate wether they're close enough that you need to use a pistol.

Impulse Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 See, I prefer keeping to 1.1J for DMRs because gaining that 30m MED space is worth a lot more than the 5 or so metres I'll gain from going to 1.6J. I still wouldn't advocate for the DMR limit being removed, because having the choice is nice, and a lot of people do prefer it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand While I can't comment on druids playing style etc, personally I only generally use single shot, especially gratifying with my M14 & fal, & hopefully my new G3, & all my guns are sub 1j, all running between 300-335 FPS (but well sit up hops) & do well in a sneaky dmr stylee, if a knackered old fartknocker like me can get by with less than 1j, then surely it won't hold back fitter livelier players. The point I, & I suspect druid was making, was that in these anti gun times, if the sport was threatened in any way, a 1j ruling would be one possible way to placate those who lobby against us ?
