airsoft

whoopey! one of my favourite subjects!
first off, what peeves me the most in airsoft is cheating. #1 cheat:WHAP WHAP WHAP! you feel the hits, see the welts, the enemy team player (who just shot you) calls did i hit you!? you reply "no! but close!" see the problem? thing is, the enemy player may have seen you get hit, and you just failed the truth test. no more airsofting for you! that person now knows they can no longer trust you.
#2 i don't actually think there's any other ways to cheat at airsoft, but people have called me and my "axe" cheating, as i didn't actually hit them with a bb. whenever this happens i simply level my tri-shot shotgun, and say "sure it doesn't, but this hurts a lot worse" generally they surrender. (if they don't, three bbs, at point-blank range, to the chest, hurts!)

favourite ways to play!
#1 wearing full combat gear
#2 wearing my (custom made) Imperial Captain's combat uniform (which, sadly, needs repairs owing to the fact that paintballs and cardboard don't mix)
#3 with more than five people!
#4 either in a recon position, or CQC (close quarters combat) although defense is pretty fun.
#5 running as a raving axe murderer
#6 against  at least one person who has never played before (especially if they think that i'm not that scary, they can totally take me because they are AMAZING at call of duty, and wearing a face mask is wimpy)
#7 there's really to many to list.

the first time i ever played airsoft:
location: park (before i knew that it was bad to play there)
time: February-ish
age: eleven
it started when my friend handed me a electric Uzi (i wish i knew where to get one), and told me where to put the bbs. we then headed to the park, where the team i was on proceeded to get massacred. it wasn't a terrible lot of fun, but i was intrigued, and looked on Amazon for the cheapest gun i could find (M3O6A Uzi) it was a great gun, survived a years(ish) worth of hard usage, and was pretty powerful for a eleven dollar springer (despite the fact that it looked more like a MPL than a Uzi, i loved it, i just barely fixed my second gun of the same make) i would highly recommend that gun to entry-level players.

spectacular losses:
#1
location: Bandit's place
time: Winter, just after Christmas 2012
game mode: team death match
the "breaking in" of my shotgun, and Bandit's m4
teams: me and Sour cream, armed with my shotgun, his sniper, and a full auto Thompson SMG. vs. Earth-man and Bandit who were armed with a one shot per pump CQC shotgun, and a automatic m4.
first mistake: letting the other team get the high ground.
second mistake: taking cover in the foxhole bandit's got out there.
last mistake: getting shot.
needless to say, we were pretty embarrassed at getting beat by brand-new Deacons.
moral of the story: in two on two, foxholes are a bad idea.

#2 there's really to many to list, but the first time i played, was pretty bad.
after i ran out of ammo with the Uzi, i started to reload, (bad idea in the place where i was at, there was no cover) and being eleven, i ran to the ammo which was sitting in between two of my teammates, in a no cover killing zone, and all three of us were gunned down by a guy with an automatic. aauugghh. not good for morale.
moral of the story: 0 cover = death. (which can be hazardous for the health)

#3 location: the field behind my house (i set up all those barricades myself!)
time: sometime in May.
game mode: Juggernaut
Juggernaut: me
we didn't have any hit limits for the Jugg, he just ran around with an axe and sword (both duct tape!) until he'd had enough. and we were a gun short. (mechanical problems occur after a few rounds with cheap springys) i suit up, two combat jackets (the thin fatigue jackets) and my mask. put on some gloves, and we started. i didn't think springys could pump out that much ammo in so little time! i got hit thirty times! (+!) i didn't quit because of that, i was a wee bit winded. score: three killed out of five. (the last one had my shotgun)

spectacular wins!
