That's my pet hate about his videos.

He essentially made Daedalus famous because he'd show him firing a single shot - because he used a gas rifle and they're in Scotland, so that's probably all it ever did - and then he'd show someone getting hit, that he'll have filmed from another location, hours later.

People had the impression that Daedalus was a crack shot and he'd hit people with a single shot at ridiculous ranges and it's just pure bollocks.

It's never the person who gets hit in the video, that he actually shows getting hit, it's just a phenomenally annoying editing trick.

I don't really see the point if he's going to do that. He may as well have random people firing airsoft guns and cut to people getting shot in John Woo films.

 

[Moose87]

dont tempt him he might just do it

 

[Garfs]

The only airsoft videos I actually watch are ones uploaded by members of MSK, a French Milsim Team, and LevelCap.

LevelCap is who re-sparked my interest in AS

I subscribe for his BF4 videos then found he also did airsoft

His videos are excellent - and although he is a tank he's no where near as annoying as most - he's obviously an intelligent and knowledgable guy - but also comes across well and isn't condescending in the slightest

 

[Airsoft-Ed]

A tank? As in well built?

Are you kidding? He's a total computer, star wars and lego nerd, 'bout as scrawny as they come lol.

I agree about him though, his videos are probably the best I've seen, he's good at editing, gets the audio balance right, cuts things at the right times and doesn't show footage if it's boring.

The only thing I hate is that he only started airsofting about 4 months ago, and because he's a YouTube celebrity he's just been given all the best shit ever straight away. He doesn't really have any concept of the value of a lot of the things he has, I don't mean monetary value either, I mean he doesn't realise how badly lots of people want the stuff he has, he has no concept of how, why or to what extent the things he gets handed for free are sought after so he'll just rephrase the stats sheet the shop read out to him.

He's done videos on the WE MSK, he's got a Polarstar M4 etc etc. anyone else would kill someone for that stuff, he just gets handed it for free by Airsoft GI because they're using him as a walking talking advert.

His video comments are littered with people asking for advice but the guy doesn't have a clue.

It's like watching a baby jump in the deep end of a swimming pool, but then enjoy drowning. It's annoying to watch, there's a sense of contempt about him that just grates on me.

 

[Esoterick]

I think he means yank lol

 

[jcheeseright]

I think he meant Tank as in Septic Tank, rhyming slang for yank.

As to him not having much of a clue, I'm inclined to agree, it also amused me greatly when he was in the 'best airsoft players' event thingy that was run by some chick who's internet famous because she plays airsoft, uses a computer and doesn't look like someone's taken a lump hammer to her face. She too by the way has no clue.

American's will lap up pretty much anything so long as it's well edited, just look at fox news!

 

[Esoterick]

Ah I've only heard the expression Septic used in short.

Most of the Youtube popularity comes from getting in early and making well produced videos. That or talking about inane crap, because people are stupid haha,

 

[Garfs]

Sorry i meant YANK (typo) - but septic works well

As an AS noob myself i didnt realise LevelCap was also a relative to noob

Must be nice to have kit like that thrown at you - i could make a cracking vid if i was given all that kit

But compared to most Yank (and fair few UK) YouTubers - i think he makes good vids - and SOUNDS like he knows what talking about

Daedalus isn't even that great a shot

 

[Moose87]

what annoys me about desertfox is that he says operator!

 

[jcheeseright]

whatsup operators!

just fuck off.

 

[Moose87]

glad im not the only one.

 

[Ian_Gere]

I've got a shovel that needs operating. I'm sure we can find a pile of shit somewhere...

 

[clumpyedge]

some of the videos don't actually show his hits, you just have to take what is said as gospel which doesn't sit well with me for him being a "crack shot"

 

[Nickona]

Just had a look at his videos and the editing is very annoying.. it also annoys me how he refers to them as Airsoft Wars, just seems something that a 12 year old in America would say

Also on a side note, saw it in his video.. but people shooting with their middle finger equally annoys me!

Agreed.

One British youtube channel that does get a lot of views is BohemianEagle AKA the mighty Jingles.

He does mainly video game videos (world of Tanks and War Thunder) but mentioned airsoft and his subscribers persuaded him to get back into airsoft and make videos last year. Very different style of video to anything else I have seen because he usually does videos of computer games. He has had to start by going through the basics for his subscriber base.

It's all his fault I got into this, I ran out of War thunder videos one day.

 

[Airsoft-Ed]

Haha really?

It annoyed me a bit when he started doing airsoft videos, because to me he comes across as someone who has absolutely no clue, but an awful lot of money...

I am a subscriber though, he even follows my channel on Google+
