Game shenanigans---->moan

I can see how the rot could set in very quickly on a team.  I can't say I have seen it yet, but the pressure to not be the first person to let the team down might very easily lead to not taking just one hit.  I mean, it's not really cheating, you'll definitely take the next one, probably, just as soon as someone else does.

It's not like top level professional sportsmen set the best of examples these days.

I was in a great team, the Sea Devils (now disbanded, but our sister team, Wraith Alpha in Bristol are still going), & we had a really easygoing mindset, win or lose it was all about the craic, BUT we had one player who over time became a bit "Teflon", which became an issue for the rest of us as it started to embarres us as a team.

funny thing was, he also was quick to say the other side weren't taking their hits......definition of irony lol

While I'd love to come to UK and play airsoft with you guys, there's one thing that really gets on my nerves..

Your constant "call your hits" yelling, come on, no need to yell like a teenager at her favorite band concert.

You spot someone that's not calling his hits? Just shoot him again.

He may have not felt the first bb, there's nothing wrong in hitting him again.. If he still doesn't feel (or doesn't want to feel them) switch to full auto and close the distance..

Imo if you want to yell at someone you should do it when the game ends..

Mmm, my local site declares that cheat calling is as bad as cheating.  I don't know how well that's enforced since they're both so rare, but I do agree with the sentiment.

I think the issue is it usually comes out like:

"take your hits you Cnut"

which then escalates as apparently Gobshites are offended by a smack in the mouth lol.

Not that I encourage physical contact in a game, but I can see how it very occasionally happens.

I do marvel at the inability for seaoned players to not understand some of the basics such as range,wind and bb weight.Many times I've been at the end of a volley to receive no hits,return fire and take out the opponent,their body language and sometimes actions say it all.

I saw this sunday when I stood and watch someones bb's fly allover the place except at me,I had stopped moving because I thought I was d00med TBH,I returned fire and he walked off.

I've also called myself out because I was embarressed when someone couldn't hit me,they volleyed a mass of BB's at me,I felt sure they were going to call me out as a non hit taker so I left,respawn is easy.

I tell as many people as possible when I getting chatting that I use .25's and will out shoot them,especially rentals,not boasting just trying to get them to understand why they can't hit me but I can them....in the heat of a game I doubt it matters though.

This is one the reasons I love my tracer. Playing mainly evenings now it is as much a benefit for me to have a better clue as to whether my sights are off (or I am just being crack handed) when it comes to seeing if someone is calling their hits. 

Great thing is that if you manage to get behind people, and they might genuinely think they are being hit by ricochets, a team mate will likely tell them they are being hit as they can see the tracers coming from an odd direction.

Only time I've experienced confirmed none hit calling is shooting someone in the back from 30m away with a pistol. Quick "Mate am I hitting you?" and he turned round saw the stream of bb's then called himself out. Fair enough.

Hi from one of the newbies on the team you switched to, personally I only had one instance in that game where I felt the other team weren't taking hits, but most of my kills were close quarters and with a hire gun, even if I was hitting from range I wouldn't ever claim I hit someone unless they called their hit.

Aside from that I enjoyed the game - was my final game to get UKARA and I enjoyed the killhouse with my new pistol (also my first gun). CQB I find the best, because when shooting at 300fps at point blank, they're going to take their hits every time hahaha

No they won’t, at least some people won’t. They will shoot you back, ask for a trade off or even say you definitely missed or I didn’t hear it. Once a cheat, always a cheat, doesn’t matter sometimes if it’s 100yards 10 yards or 1 yard.

Yeah I totally get that, I did actually have one trade in the game. I definitely shot him first, but he shot me just after within a reasonable time, so I gave him the trade. I should have shot him in the back when I had the chance (traitor game).

As a marshal of a site I actually find it quite refreshing when a player comes up to me laughing at themselves saying something along the lines of "I'm pretty sure a twig fell on me but I took the hit anyway" (hey it happens!) or "not sure if it was a ricochet or not but hey I'll just re-spawn and get back in!" I know and understand everyone wants to "win" the day but its not like once your hit you're out for the rest of the day for Christ's sake 

I'm definitely an exception to this rule. I have never given a flying bum cigar if I win or loose, I'm there to have fun only. I often take hit's when raindrops hit me lol.

But it has to be said that I have seen some blatant non hit taking in my time that has just made me laugh in disbelief, to me its the equivalent of diving in football, play around in a grey area of the rules and your not really playing Airsoft anymore (Well your not doing it with a sense of honor anyway) your just playing army in the woods against other people who are following different rules.

The only way my day can be less fun is by the dreaded over competitive players that sometimes come along, They are usually the cheats in my experience, rental noobs or gucci addicts alike they will simply ignore rules to win. Its a mindset I just find funny because I have seen grown men literally act like spoilt kids which becomes like comedy when they are dressed in combat gear.

Speaking of seasoned players..

Last Sunday had a guy that claimed to be playing since 2010 coming up to me and asking me to check why his gun wasn't getting any range.

He didn't tune his hop and he didn't knew airsoft guns had one.

lel.

That's a tad depressing lol, even I know that as a hire player lmao

Saying that though I've been into Airsoft for about 4 years & I've never seen the inside of any of my guns.
