Please ensure you read this statement and familiarize yourself with the Airsoft Tactical TOS
Thought i would post this, it's not rules so much as common sense, most of the airsoft community should know this stuff but for those who don't, here goes.
*** Safety Points***
- At all times, remain hydrated, purchase a camelback or some kind of hydration system, it WILL save lifes!
- Unless the game dictates head shots, avoid them where possible, if a target is stood in plane sight, aim for the body, not only is it a bigger target, but teeth will remain intact. If somebody is peering around a corner and all you can see is they're head, take the shot, the target should be wearing a mask or some kind of PPI, just be grown ups and mature about all of this. As fun as headshots may appear to be.
- FOOTWEAR:- I would recommend a decent set of feet for any game!! Particularly out doors! Footwear that offers reasonable ankle support! The last thing you want is to snap an ankle and be out of pay for a few weeks, or even months as the case may be. Indoors for CQB, suitable trainers will suffice. But again, reasonable ankle support should be considered, be it hi-top trainers or proper sports footwear. I'll creat thread for decent boots soon!!!
*** General Points ***
1: Treat your gun as if it were the real thing and as if it were loaded. So many times i have been stood in briefing zones loading up a mag or chatting, turn around and some one has a fully loaded AEG pointed at your face 2FT away. So mind where you point that thing and keep safety on.
2: Don't mess around with your guns, If you need to sight or adjust your hop to the environment do it on the range or well away from other players. I have been shot in various places including the face, by people who just fire there guns at something random or the floor or a wall in front of them, with no regard as to where the bb will go, (THEY DO BOUNCE FOLKS) and they still hurt.
3: During the game you should not be firing your gun unless you see an enemy, This helps your team mates identify if there is enemy teams engaged and saves ammo.
4: Don't ever, EVER, use your RIF in a public place. Only licensed airsoft premises, it endangers you and everyone around you, Armed police don't use airsoft weapons and if they think your carrying a real gun they WILL kill you. Also it puts the sport at risk.
5: TAKE YOUR HITS... You may think your being epic by not getting killed but believe me your not. Its usually fairly easy to tell if you hit some one, especially when they jump a mile in the air and scream a little bit. In actual fact your just pissing people off, ruining the sport and on some of the more professional site's, it will result in you being dismissed form the site and banned.
If you both take a hit in a CQB environment, do the right thing, both of you re-spawn. You'll get a lot more respect from marshals and players if your honest!
Being honest about your hits will reflect on you!!
6: Do try not to swear, I know as well as anyone in the heat of the moment it can be tricky but we should try not to. Especially where there are young players.
7: Use the Toilet (if supplied) If there is no Toilet Then go as far from the game zone as possible, if its a number two then it should be buried. NEVER GO IN OR AROUND A BUILDING.. The outside walls will most likely be used at some point as hard cover, you don't want to be crouched down or kneeling in someone's pee or worse still, THE POO...
8: Be sure of your target, Communication is key here, this helps to stop friendly fire. If you will insist on running about a site pointing guns at every moving thing, expect to get shot. Better to move as a strong unit, than a bunch of idiots with machine guns.
9: Treat everyone with the respect you wish to be given, there will always be newcomers to the sport, some better than others, but we all have to start somewhere! Don't loose your temper with a newcomer because he/she doesn't do or go where you want them to go.
10: Teams.. OK guys this is a frustrating point for teams and non team members, if the players have been broken down into two teams, and you and your team start shouting the odds trying to take charge of a situation, just remember that not every body on your team wants to follow your mission directive, i can imagine that its quite daunting and intimidating for a newcomer who's only payed for hire, to see you guys with your load-outs, comms, etc. If they want to participate that's fine, if they choose not too, just work with that, adapt and over come!
11: Do Not take drugs or drink alcohol on site. it is very bad.
Im sure this will be edited as im bound to have forgotten stuff. But its a good start.
