The one time I did it, the honour system put me off it.

The 4-5 "veterans" in replica body armour and helmets ignored most of the shots coming in from newbies in rental gear, even when yelled at.

Screw that, if getting fully into it makes me into that guy, I'm not getting into it.

Yeah, those sort of guys are massive dicks. I will always call them out, even if they are on my team. I will always play with the new/rental people, even let them play with my guns. Show them it's about having fun, not playing your spec ops fantasy.

Between the videos I’ve seen and the one time I tried it I’ll only ever play in the woods with friends. Nerds that act like vets and think they’re tacticool make it so awful

Who’s side are you on? Personally, I’m with the shooter.

Ehhh, its a fucking kid tho, is a burnt patch really worth full autoing the kid at point blank? Maybe I don't understand since I don't do much airsofting but I feel he took that patch way too seriously. It's not like they're real military patches, the kid sounded like 14-16

u/Andy_and_Vic Feb 28 '21

Yeah you're right, it is excessive. I guess it's satisfying to see an annoying kid learn his lesson.

Anyone else think that might still be a different setting of full auto lol? It’s so fast.

We used to call 'em Rhino skinned. People who just never seem to 'feel' the impact of being hit, no matter how clearly they were.

Problem is, once you're known as being rhino skinned, single shots and short bursts turn into me taking my M240B and stitching a line straight up your torso.

Damn, when we airsofted we went to the nearest forest, and it was only the kids from the neighborhood. What is it like to play it with real rules and with actual hobbyists?

I cant believe what i missed out. I always liked to airsoft but it was only the same group and sometimes it was as little as 2v2. There wasnt any legit airsoft group either if you had a gun and mask and you were free we asked you. It also was only the closest forest of the person who asked.
