if it was in redbarn about 2-3 weeks ago, there were only 6 of us for the afternoon session. the first time we located you, you were in some bushes at the rear of the large open field, second time neard the bridge close to that location and third time in the court yard. I was the guy all dressed in black, first day out.
Like i said I'm impaitent and sitting in once spot for a long time does my head in. It's something I think will need to change as i continue with Airsoft coz i can see running and gunning not only being painful from the I'm tiotally unfit and cant run more than a few yards without falling on my face point of view
but also I make a nice big target running about 0 -

I was waiting in one location for a hour once during a milsim.

Though when the contact moved into my field of fire, I went to work... I dropped around 20 guys who were too occupied shooting at my own forces, and didnt notice that the single shots that hit them were not coming from the same direction as the auto fire...
Sniping requires paitence, but if you have it, it pays off massively.0 -

True, true, thats the beauty of the regen rules.... they can change game dynamic without people noticing, or realising what its doing to the game.
Tbh, ammo restrictions can be too far for sunday games, medic... doable, scenarios? I'd hope we all do it!
All the locals I go to run 'scenarios' rather than capture the flag, chase a monkey etc.0 -

A game that is often played when there is a sniper present is the Sniper Hunt. It is only possible if a sniper is present, and those are the kinds of things I would like to change i.e. having the sites able to run games irrespective of what equipment shows up.
Alternative equipment, even different guns, bring so much variance to the game, and variety brings so much to the table.
Sniper towers, support gun mounts, vehicles (although I'm sure it's difficult to insure), riot shields (ideally a frame using cardboard inserts), mock/non-functioning helicopters...all of which just add immersion, as well as a greater dynamic.
Of course equipment is not the be all and end all, as FireKitten said, but it is certainly one of the most effective means of instigating variance
Have to dissagree with you on that bit Inari.
"Hey sniper dude, you go in the tower were you are clearly visible"
Eh no. Probably one of the worst places to be when a sniper. Sorry had to say it

Straight off the bat I don't think the regular sunday skirmishers I don't think would do too well with it i.e restricted ammo when there use to the ''spray and pray'' element of a skirmish, but easing it in slowly I think would work. For instance say they can only use on high-cap mag per life etc. Then when they get use to that element introduce the like of a medic rule to them, let them experience that element of it, combined with restricted ammo and medic rule, then scenario based objectives not just grab this flag take it to here. By doing that then people might pick up more on the milsim side of airsoft then you drop in mini storylines coinciding with objectives.
Myself personally I enjoy sunday skirmishes but I do enjoy milsim aswell but it's personal choice at the end of the day, some players might not like milsim and other's might not have wanted to do a full milsim game, example: they turn up, dont know what to expect and then not enjoy it. By mixing it in with regular skirmishing people can get a sense of what is involved and then hopefully want to go out and try a full one and then more people would want a milsim event like the ones over in the UK and the demand for them would be greater.
Thats my opinion on it anyways

This. What I meant by 'sniper tower' is 'tower'.I think calling them a sniper tower is the issue.
Just call them a watchtower. Ideal for spotting the enemy and shooting out of!
But I must admit, a game I had in mind was two snipers in the tower, and a squadron trying to gain distance and eliminate the snipers. A challenge for the snipers, and a quick game for the rest.0 -

Agreed Inari, talking about this always gets me in the mood for it. I was supposed to be going tomorrow, unforseen events etc.
Anyways, I was just looking at the title and realised, I'd absolutely love an m203. Realistically though, are they worth the money?0 -
As with all Airsoft equipment, yes and no. I have one, and they are a lot of fun, but the benefits of them are merely for spread, at least in my opinion.Agreed Inari, talking about this always gets me in the mood for it. I was supposed to be going tomorrow, unforseen events etc.

The reason for this thread is half to do with the need for equipment being used, which gives reason for other things to be used. For example, a cardboard-insert riot shield means an M203 suddenly has an advantage of cutting it to shreds (if you aim right).
Realistically speaking, they are a deadweight...but they look cool, and offer some satisfaction. Are they worth it? If you have the money to spare, then yes. If not, then I'd just save up and buy another gun, to be perfectly honest0 -

Although I absolutely abhor double posting, I grew tired of waiting to add this to the thread.
Broken Arrow:
3 Teams/Units - 1.) NEST (Nuclear Emergency Support Team) 2.) Freedom Fighters 3.) Local Militia/Police.
Scenario:
The FF (Freedom Fighters) are given a prop nuclear device, and a 5 minute headstart. Their goal is to find somewhere that they can secure the perimeter, and detonate their moneyload.
The NEST team are deployed, and have to search through the site in order to find the nuclear device, with the specific goal of retrieving it, or neutralising it if no other alternative is available.
Local Police/Military are on patrol (key word, patrol) around the site - anything out of the ordinary they are to ascertain what is going on. Anything suspicious that they come across is up to them how they deal with it - neutralise, capture/interrogate etc. They are the enemy of everyone.
Local militia are chosen first, and seperated from the rest. They are brought to a remote part of the site. The FF are then given their 5 minute headstart, and after those 5 minutes, the Local Milita and NEST are good to go.
The idea is that the locals shouldn't be able to tell between NEST or FF at first, and so the game can be organic. They can try and eliminate everyone they see, to team up with the NEST, or whatever they choose.
...As you can see...I like 3 tiered games 0 -

Different equipment adds so much variety. You're penned in, and can't stick your head out, but you have a good idea of where they are - Mr. Grenade (accompanied with "FIRE IN THE HOLE") is your friend; by throwing the grenade, and making people aware of it, should give you adequate time to gain some footing for better resistance to the next salvo.
Yes, they need to be used properly, but there is just so much more brought to games with different equipment.
Something else which adds a new dimension to games is your environment - everything changes depending on whether it's wet, dry, sunny, dark etc. As such having different equipment such as torches etc really helps move games along, by having circumstances rapidly changing 0 -

It's just coz it's our only chance to use it!
Thunder B's are a fantastic grenade, and probably the best out there. At circa €35 for a starter kit, you'd be looking at €135 for 3 grenades, and another €25 or so for a decent amount of shells. And since they are another item for your arsenal, it is not unreasonable for it to cost around the same as a GBB pistol, or mid-range AEG.
Another Eire-legal grenade is the Tornado Impact grenade, however they are infinitely more expensive, somewhere around the €50-60 per grenade, however they have no additional cost (unlike the shells needed for the Thunder
Lots of options, but require investment, like everything else unfortunately. It will either cost you time, money or both 0 -
