I would love to do some of this airsoft stuff with these kind of 'people'. I would smuggle in a real 7.62 L1A1 SLR with live ammo then take photos of the results of F+M and the realistic aspects of a muzzle velocity of 838 m/s.
Darwin, please, please, please make sure your theory works.
Lost for words. Who are these people? :?
Ok OK i will admit i do paintballing , and up to competition level as well, some of the teams i have been part of, went through and won quite a few tournements, i will have to admit though we dont try and take on the badges of other regts /corps etc, just plain dpm is good enough for us, its our criteria, if we see a member of the opposition in badges we do be little them, and make sure they get a bollock shot just to add a bit of meaning to the game, then explain why we done it, it usually works, they loose the badges by the time we play them again, as they know whats going to be instore!!
We have tended to find the americans are the worse ones for this, as they think they have the gear they have the idea, untill the bollock shot happens, then they just fall apart!
Nice to see someone finally found a picture of you in all your walt-ness sabs :wink: :lol:Quote:

so if you want to call me a walt for doing a hobby for the past 15 years and being part of a team(military or civvy), that were european champions at it, and getting paid as professionals aswell, then so what i dont care.
But miz it does actually help if you have served to call some one a walt, rather than a groupie!
It's when the SS numpties turn up in uniform, my F in Law (1 Field RA, 8th army '42-'45) just looked at them without saying anything, shook his head and walked away....Quote:
