Mister Big Shot Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 Some of the people I play airsoft with will yell at everyone to stop shooting when they need to reload. The way I see it, it is your own damn problem if you ran out of ammo and in a real life gunfight there would be no sympathy for the guy reloading. Makes sense right? I guess not, because I see people demand that the game wait for them to reload all the time. Opinions? Link to post Share on other sites
ChiefLouk Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 Hell no! That is part of the game, and stopping an entire skirmish would be far too much of a hassle. I do, however, pause the game during 1 on 1 backyard wars in very confined spaces(when playing with certain people, so that they don't start crying). Link to post Share on other sites
screamin_weasel Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 haha people that want the game stopped when reloading are pricks quite frankly. is this backyard wars, or full skirmishes. backyard wars its more acceptable i suppose, but still stupid. "hang on stop shooting while i move to some different cover" "hang on stop shooting whiel i let my finger off the trigger" WTF ? Link to post Share on other sites
ChiefLouk Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 Don't move, I want to shoot you! EDIT: The ability to stop the game would be abused far too much. Link to post Share on other sites

Agent Orange Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 Oh what a fanciful idea! Do let them take their dear time reloading! Wouldn't want them to work up a sweat, now would we! While we're add it, lets send them a gift basket filled of potpourri and daffidiles every time they run out of ammo! No hard feelings because everone's a winner! If they reload, shoot them. If they whine, shoot them twice. Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Big Shot Posted February 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 It is just backyard wars with 4-10 people but I still think it is pretty immature for these people to think the world revolves around them like that. Link to post Share on other sites

ChiefLouk Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 This thread is soon to become a flaming festival, it will probably be locked soon. While we are at it, people should get a free shot everytime they miss. Someone should make a list of stuff like that for us to laugh at. Link to post Share on other sites
Crispin1025 Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 For milsim, this is definitely out. The ONLY time is when a friend and I were playing in a backyard war, and being that we had the same springers, finished our clips at the same time. it was more for courtesy than anything else because we were basically dueling.

rifleman Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 If you're playing properly, your oppo should be covering you for the couple of seconds that it takes to reload and you should cover them. To quote Agent Orange "If they reload, shoot them. If they whine, shoot them twice!" I think the people you play with need to grow up. Sh*t happens - if you run out of ammo, expect to get lit up like a Christmas tree. Link to post Share on other sites
Wells Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 I'm with the concensus on this one. Being vulnerable during reloading is part of game, and not getting shot during it should be the result of wise tactical decisions, proper ammo conservation, good teamwork and practice in how to reload your weapon so you can do it quickly under stress and get your gun back up in the fight ASAFP.

mobaar Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 They don't even allow it during a PB skirmish, why would milSIM be any different? I think the SIM part stands for something that means real-life-ish Mobaar Link to post Share on other sites
Blackfox Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 I get all my best surrenders and kills during reload rushes espically on snipers who are 1337 and don't need a spotter. Link to post Share on other sites
doc_newstead Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 We used to do this in 'backyard wars'. We normally only had one mag each, and so it was etiquette to not shoot at someone whilst reloading. However, we didn't call 'hits' like you would at a skirmish; we just shot at eachother. It was a bit of fun, so the rule was reached amicably. If everyone bar you thinks being shot at whilst reloading is off, then apdapt dear boy. However, once we all got AEG's, hi-caps and the rest of it, 'standard' rules applied. My point is, you play with your mates, decide the rules; YOU are the marshalls We used to play funny old games, but with only 4-5 people, 1-hit rules would suck, so we adapted. if you ran out of ammo and in a real life gunfight there would be no sympathy for the guy reloading <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Please don't Link to post Share on other sites
WeirdoTransvestite Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 My friends wouldn't stop shooting at me if I had to reload. Why should I? I shoot them more when they're reloading. Link to post Share on other sites
