Even though I dislike Polarstars and know how to cheat with them, I have no intention or desire to get them banned nor wish to see them banned. All one has to do is inform the field owners of how the cheating can occur, with ALL guns, and take precautions against them.

You can not simply ban guns because you don't like them. The only reason to ever ban a gun is for safety reasons that simply can't be avoided. I, personally, don't know of any out right banned airsoft guns(other users probably will). 99.9% of the time guns are banned on a case-by-case basis due to the owner intentionally/unintentionally operating over the stated FPS/joules. Polarstars simply offer another gun type for players to use. I like the fact they are American made, but simply don't like the peripherals needed or how they shoot. That is my personal choice in how I chose to play this game.

When it comes down to it, you'd have to ban nearly every single gun if you follow the logic of banning these. I, and several others here, can open gearboxes between games and change springs or bolts. Hell, I can change my KWA Mp7 faster than Polarstars can and change the lowers on G36s/M4s on the field.


The problem is with the players. Always has been and always will be.

I'm seeing a lot of semantics based on the definition of the actual word being used and not the meaning of the term being used. You are given several words for the same purpose since everyone plays with different rules. However, the meaning behind the terms remains the same. If you are caught off guard and called out, you are out. The word choice is irrelevant and could be "get a life". This does not change the meaning behind the terms being used in context.

Secondly, hdrox88's point is also irrelevant.  If you walk up to a person and shoot them, they may not even feel it or hear it depending on the gear they are wearing. If the person has their gun shooting facing the opposing way, the likely hood of them realizing they are shot drop drastically due to being "in the moment". Nor will they expect to be engaged from behind and could consider it to be FF. A simple briefing before the game solves this problem to what is being considered legit. You can not simply say "if you don't like being shot up close...this isn't the game for you" since the "if you like shooting people up close, then this game is not for you" can also be said to be true. People argue against this train of thought since it is paintball type attitude, yet argue for it when it suits them. This is the real world and not high school, you want to reduce the risk of confrontation and egotism. Being shot up close is going to happen, but you don't have to stoop and be the one doing it as the new players do. I, personally, refuse to engage someone at point blank range if they aren't wearing a mask. I had one player with my Mk23 in his face(no mask) and another my old M249 in his(no mask). Did they both do d*ck moves when I didn't fire? Yea, but it's a game and ruining someones teeth and face isn't on me. If taking the high road was easy everyone would do it. We all should have learned that only you can control you...really so in a game that you should be evaluated on honor.

Back up....well just reopened it.

READ THE RULES AND PAY ATTENTION TO THEM.

PASGT/Crye Airframe/MICH2001(all clone)




I might post more when I get in game pictures of them. The Airframe will have some E-Lites on them, and whatever patches I can find. The Airframe is painted to match the Gorka E Sposn pattern.

This thread hasn't moved much in 3 years.......

The roster shows a decent amount of people so far. Yet, like always there's no 'color count', leaving the possibility of everyone showing up the same color. How do you plan on regulating that? Recommend you get a handle on that and push for people who RSVP to also mention the color they will be. Arm bands don't seem to work that well from my experience, plus it's more realistic when it's color vs. color.

Doesn't matter. Most people that post don't show up anyway.....nor is it realistic. An invading country isn't going to show up in tan when invading a forest region....

Pay attention, remember who's on your team, usually people facing you aren't friendly, and kept FF off(I always do at least).
