Belladonna Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 If you can see round the corner, then its not blind fire, period, by deffinition... the sportsmanship element is variable, technology gives the edge... surely by this measure a mirror or periscope is banned too? cmon, play the game, and invent new ways to deal with things...

ECRRRainman Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 Sure, by definition it is not blindfiring, but that doesn't change the fact that using the CED to engage targets poses some of the same safety risks that blindfiring does. Technology does give the edge, but that is only fully applicable in real combat. We airsofters limit and regulate certain things for the safety of others (who can be either friend or foe, real combat doesn't give a ###### about your enemy's safety). The real military uses blindfiring as a tactic at times, does this mean I can to get that "edge" on the battlefield? If you are using this item for spotting ONLY I would possibly consider it a legal tool, just like a mirror or parascope, these are unable to knock out someone's eye out (unless you REALLY mess up somehow ) Simply put if you eliminate/reduce your field of view you must eliminate/reduce your field of fire. Again this is all my personal feelings on the matter, I feel that the CED does little to nothing eliminate the dangers with blindfiring. If you wish to use it at your site and the organizers allow it by all means go ahead. Likewise if you don't like this being used but your site allows it, either suck it up, go home or become an organizer and make your own decision. Link to post Share on other sites
Belladonna Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 the danger is not seeing whats infront of your gun... with this, you can see little johnny with his specs off and hold fire game over? Link to post Share on other sites

Naked Singularity Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 But then again, you are hearing it from a guy who wears U.S. woodland BDUs, standard ALICE chest rig, and using a 50-year old model. The only "modern" weapon I have is the USP .45. I'm old school, but I'm just as effective as the kids with ACOGs, HK416s, multicam, and CIRAS. Link to post Share on other sites
jerrytylke Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 This doesn't really give you as much as a advantage as you think. If you are playing with airsofter that can get this kind of gear then well, Unless he is standing in a position where he cant see your rifle stick out, then he should have a grenade to toss at you, or he can try to ricksha hit you Link to post Share on other sites
mr eagle Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 TBH if i thought someone was taking the ###### too much with this (camping at a corner) i would throw a couple of grenades down and follow them up quickly or if i have none just engage the rifle until they move it.

The Waco Kid Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 Im going to have to say No. It is not necessarily blindfiring but it barely reduces the dangers involved with blindfiring. Instead of seeing nothing you see through roughly a 1 inch hole. I would not feel comfortable using one or others near me using one <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I voted no for this very reason. It should also be pointed out the shooter may well get blind sided by a canny player if they used this in some of the very tight urban sites in the UK. I don't have a problem with a periscope as a spotting device though. I once considered building a corner shot-like item (only for a low power pistol) as an item for a specific game event but quickly decided the safety & unsporting nature made it a non-starter. Also www.periscope.com, what the *fruitcage* is that about anyway? Link to post Share on other sites
flint Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 I went with yes considering the spotting use as acceptable. Sounds like it isn't much of a threat as a shooting optic. Link to post Share on other sites
Ginger Viking Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 With that aim device it technically isnt blindfiring. I think that without that device and literally blindfiring is OK cos you dont stand a large chance o hitting. BUT with that round the corner mirror thingy that is kinda cheating/morally unacceptable. Becos you can aim at them but they cant at you. Link to post Share on other sites
ECRRRainman Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 I think that without that device and literally blindfiring is OK cos you dont stand a large chance o hitting. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> But the problem is, this is how you end up accidently swinging your gun around the corner into someone's face/sensitive/exposed region and ripping off a burst which can easily lead to injury Link to post Share on other sites
AirsoftKid94 Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 If your the only guy to have one with the people your playing and u shot them that would be pretty cool because they wont know wat would hit them. Link to post Share on other sites
