Airsoft "Pet Peeves", time to vent guys!

[Theesire]

Pretty much what everyone else has said (cheaters, shit like that) but I have one no one has probably said yet..

When I see players with their stock not pressed into their shoulder, but rather resting on top of it.

[dmitril]

People telling me they banged me so Im dead and me shooting them doesn't count (in cqb).

Canadian airsoft prices and asshole cbsa officers(50/50 with this, had a great guy the first time, wasted loads of time the second).

Yea, I hate this "mercy" crap.. airsoft involves shooting people... cant handle CQB point blank shots, dont come to a game..

[Wilkie]

I'm not a fan of all these p* units popping up now adays. I wouldn't even go as far to say they are a pet peeve of mine, but I don't much like them. Air lines are one of the reasons I left paintball.

That said, the thought of a permanently mounted p* machine gun on a fixed possition, or a vehicle turns me on somewhat.

[Zack The Ripper]

Vehicle mounted Polarstared Minigun hooked up to a SCUBA tank, for the win.

[Ricochet]

That's a huge pet peeve of mine as well, turning airsoft guns into paintball guns. There's a reason we all stopped playing paintball and went to airsoft. Ya know how people move their families from poor, diseased ridden, tyrannical and war torn countries to Canada for the peace, healthcare, and education systems? Well a polar star is like that person arriving here and going "wow! It's so nice here. Well, might as well start some mass genocide for no reason.".

+1,000,000 on this.

What also gets to me are those idiots who think a Co2 pistol with a damn silencer shoots within "CQB limits"...

[BenG]

1) People putting 500 fps springs in their guns and telling you its for range and accracy...
2) people asking why airsoft barrels arnt rifled
3) mock suppressors being used to extend the barrel length

[Foxer2373]

People that put BNIB on the sales thread and then right after put only test fired or plinked or ranged or only games it once or only a few scratches from mounting a scope or feeding a mag.

People that are so lazy (not cheating, lazy) to walk back to spawn so they walk 10' into the bush and spawn back in.

Game organizers that are not organized!

People who run up to you point their barrel in your face and ask why they can't run their bolt action without taking the course first.

The line "camelbak's are stupid and heavy, damn I'm thirsty"

This is more of a love then a hate item but nothing is worse (better) than the group that shows up with their brand new never fired shiny clear soft gun that they were so proud of and the look on their face when they see what everyone else has.

The 90lb saw gunner, my favorite line from gone in 60 seconds comes to mind. "Hunny you can't drive, I can't swim, i know i cant, so you know what I do I stay my black ass outa the pool" lol.

The whack a mole player... They pop up, You hit them, they pop down, they pop up, you hit them, they pop down. always a classic and why I started running cameras with zoom.

Blatantly stupid friendly fire... Example, the entire tan team running towards you with the Green teams flag obviously you open up on them with the saw gun, kill every last of them them, stand up and cheer and high five the guy your with... It still has not sink in o wait I'm also wearing tan, did I just screw up? (True story)

Saved my favorite for last, the guy who shows up late and boxes other vehicles in because there was no close parking left.

[ThunderCactus]

My brother once tried to convince me a canteen was better than a camelbak because it was lighter....hah

[lurkingknight]

"Is that a KWA?(aeg)"

[Spike]

Kids who watch all the sponsored-to-shit SoCAL vids and then ask you to install those parts in guns.
How much are your miracle barrels? What do you mean they're over-hyped???
I've never heard of SHS. Can you use magic box parts? What about angel custom? Matrix?
Can you get me literally every Elite Force product known to man?

1. Players who buy Gucciflage, helmets, plate carriers just like the SOF flavour of the month, and more pouches than there's use for all in the name of looking "Operator" yet this player runs an AEG with a lipo and 120 round micaps. If you want to play like the big boys get a GBBR (polar stars don't count), real cap mags and try carrying an actual 300 round rifle load out.

2. AEG's.......period

3. Any mag capacity larger than real capacity

4. Players that don't understand the true beauty and gift that being part of a team/brotherhood brings to you, the team, and even the community as a whole.

5. The word MILSIM. If Airsoft games were set up like real military training ops we would all sit around looking off into the distance, rain or shine, waiting for an attack from an undisclosed number of enemy forces, at an undertermined time. Some times the attack would never come. That's real MILSIM. Renegade once used the term BATTLESIM to describe a couple of his larger events. I feel this term held more weight to describe large scale events than MILSIM.

[Danke]

Film-Sim is my favorite word. A few action packed hours of non-stop gun fights and explosions.

Can't agree with you more. This is also a reason why I'm a bit tired from airsoft in Vancouver.
