Of course, the real unforgivable offence is posting Reddit clickbait here.

 

Man, woman, I don't see gender, I just see an HPA wanker and a burger-roid-raging plonker who seems incapable of shouting the word "hit!".

 

I don't know about you chaps / lady-chaps, but at the sites where I play, the briefing tends to make a point that you'll stop getting shot if and when you acknowledge the hit.

in an autoplay format too...

 

so are we breaking out the stake or the ducking stool for this one?

If my son punched like that or 'defended' himself by cowering like that I'd call him my daughter.  

 

I wouldn't actually thinking about it as my daughter knows how to use her fists.  She'd flatten both of them. 

 

I don't know what I'd call him but it would be uncomplimentary, and by now I've lost interest in the airsoft part of it all.  Seriously, don't take the piss if you can't take a punch/multiple whacks from the HPA using androgynous being.  

 

Also disappointed by the lack of relevant soundtrack.  I'd have liked the Rocky theme for the build up with the Benny Hill theme for the 'punches.'  

 

Soundtrack: 0/10

Artistic Interpretation: 3/10

Degree of Technical Difficulty: 4/10

Direction: 3/10

 

Award: Everyone involved needs burning at the stake.  Twice.

And then burn down the site. And Reddit. And here.

 

We have to stop the spread of this, even if it takes an Exterminatus.

Had a funny incident at the weekend on a TDM game (I think).

 

Middle age dude was hiding behind a wall and made the mistake of standing up.  Not realising there was 5 of us all hiding behind various other nearby objects and walls just waiting for something like that to happen.  Poor bastard got lit up by all of us at the same time.

 

He was very unhappy and whined and griped like a beeatch thinking it was one kid who was standing the nearest full auto'ing him.  Couldn't help but laugh - its not as if a few of us hadn't been parked there a good 5 minutes by that stage picking off people trying to get to the very same wall he was hiding behind.  The BB's must have been whizzing past his field of view.

 

I am of the view that your playing a game principally based on getting shot at.  Don't moan when that is precisely what happens.  I do get a little snarky about being hit repeatedly when you've got your arm up after calling a hit; and I think getting head shotted when there is plenty of other body parts out in the open is a bit dickish.  That being said I have been domed plenty of times and have had to exclaim a good shot because was I fucked if I new where the shooter was and how they managed to get the hit.

 

Watched plenty of clickbait vids on YouTube thinking a good majority of the headshots were just to be a knob for the sake of it.

 

Also don't have a problem with full autoing someone not calling their hits though, as long as its at a reasonable range.  Had that a the weekend too - was shooting someone at extreme range (for me) thinking I must be hitting this dude.  Hit someone passing just in front of him and they called their hit.  Then I hit him in the head (confirmed by the massive flinch), all with no arm going up.

 

Decided a couple of burst of full auto to make a point, then it wasn't worth anymore BB's.

 

 

Think we must have all been there though?

News flash it’s not just those two groups acting like w*nkers , yes does seem to be a disproportionate amount of shite coming from those two but it’s NOT exclusive is it ?

Can we not go back to the beginning of this thread and examine this statement; that American

Hpa

Geardo

Are two groups of people. Two

 

 

Ah fuck ya then, made me giggle

Nah, I think when you put all three together they become non-binary, not knowing what group they really belong to🤔

They're both in the wrong in terms of gameplay but yeah, that's video evidence of felony assault (seeing as it's US based). Pretty disappointed in the guy filming that let it go on for a while before rather limply pulling the bloke away. Also not convinced that the "woman" isn't actually a dude (who could well have been doing this to all and sundry all day).

 

 

 

 

He had to let it go on… how else would he have been able to make such content and probably own a bigger house than any of us from it 👀

My thoughts exactly. literally the worst thing he could've done in a fight situation, cower and wait for the blows to rain down, whilst praying for the assailant to lose interest.

If you're not an experienced fighter or are caught off guard then sometimes that's the best you can do. What's the alternative, stand toe to toe and get smashed in the face half a dozen times?

I got jumped by 10/12 guys once and turtling after the first punch stopped me from getting punched in the head by seven fists from seven different directions. Got myself into a ball in a corner and protected all the bits that mattered. There were so many of them that they were getting in each others way and couldn't even get the boot in properly.

 

Walked away with a red cheek and a sore shoulder. Standing up and boxing away like a brave fucking idiot, I would have been smashed to pieces.

It wasn't a fight though was it ?, it was one skinny & probably quite young guy, doing what he'd probably done a load of times before with no repercussions, only this time a 'roided up Geardo, complete with tacticool beard😜, flipped, it all happened very quickly & to be fair on the "kid", this behaviour is usually drummed in at most sites as absolute taboo, so there was probably a big element of shock & "WTF".

That. Only psychopaths actually go around prepped to flip-out-and-fite-IRL at a moment's notice. Most "fights" are over before half of the participants know that they've even started.

 

Not that I want to see this at any airsoft site, ever, but the only real interest I have in these handbaggings is how they're resolved.  Back in the day, etc, etc, it would have been sorry-mate-lost-the-rag, handshakes all round, and move on - at least the first time.

 

Now, especially when caught on camera which makes everybody look bad (witness the excoriation of all three participants here) it's harder to forgive and forget.

You don't need experience and he wasn't caught off guard either. You do not allow the person close at all. If someone is approaching you aggressively, you set a boundary with your arms raised and held forward, as soon as they enter within that range. You either push them back to create distance or strike first.  What you don't do is wait whilst the aggressor closes the distance and allow yourself to be cornered.

 

Getting jumped outta nowhere by 10/12 guys is different especially if none of the attacker's intentions were made clear. But allowing a guy to walk up on you is a whole different thing. If you do that shit down here in the south, you're gonna walk straight into a headbutt or a sucker punch and it will be justified.

pre-emptive defense sounds like a great way to get you kicked off site, and it will be justified.

OY, Chuck Norris, don't tar everyone in the south with your dirty brush, most "normal" people when faced with overly aggressive behaviour & confrontation will try to reasonably defuse the situation, not charge in intent to do as much damage as possible & fuck the consequences. 

I've met plenty with that attitude, they rarely amount to much but wear their convictions like a badge of honour, bit like a neck tattoo lol🤣
