Well this will be a good training video for a lot of people on here, I'll for sure be showing this to some of my team members. This is the exact reason that we post signs everywhere saying that we are engaging in military simulated battles and that our guns are not real haha. And plus the cops up here don't really care that we are playing down were we are just so long as their are not any tards shooting at cars on the bridge haha!

Laugh now cry later for sure!  At 1st I laughed so hard, not at the situation but how many of those cops I could have taken out on that path! HA! Wheres the trip wire kid? In all seriousness luckily he didnt get shot and hopefully nothing comes of this. Damn old ladies, chill out! Its gonna effect us all soon for sure. Carefull where and when you hold games and display airsoft guns. PLEASE!!!

Note to self dont buy multi cam...doesnt work. HA!

[Bully Dog Airsoft]

Haha well atleast not on McDowell Mountain haha

[-MAD- SARGE]

Personally I don't see any reason to be laughing, related to the story or not.

This goes to show what many of us had warned against before and I hope this incident is not used in the future to further restrict our freedoms. Play responsibly.

[Bully Dog Airsoft]

Yes it is good to be carefull but... You can still have a sence of humor.

[-MAD- SARGE]

In regards to this situation, I don't have a sense of humor.

[Bully Dog Airsoft]

I see what you mean, this is a good lesson to alot of people and to some members of my team.

honestly though, why would you take an airsoft gun to a place where a bunch of people like to go hiking. at least go out into the middle of nowhere and do you stuff there... come on don't demolish the sport!!!

To be honest, any person that doesn't know what Airsoft is would probably think the same as the person that called 911.

I'll admit I don't leave the city every time I want to Airsoft mainly because the drive is insane and at one point we weren't even old enough to drive; what I think is more important is not necessarily where you play but how you react to people who have seen you with an automatic rifle in full BDU.  When we played and a hiker came by we would simply stop the game drop our guns and one of us would quickly explain to the hiker/biker what the deal was.  We didn't have much problems with that methodology however, not everything is so cut and dry.

And because of this we usually would play up to about half a mile North of the residential areas along the base of South Mountain and we never had any problems after that.  People just need to be smart about where they play but mainly how they act and react.  If you are silhouetting your self on the top of a hill or playing your games on bike/hike paths there will eventually be a problem.

Murphy's Law!!!

I never had a slice of bread,
Particularly large and wide,
That did not fall upon the floor,
And always on the buttered side.

visnarfaruk you make a good point but if your gonna have wars on bike/hiking paths at least set up some sort of sign... my friends and I plan on doing that when we have our little scrimmages or wars... that way people have the ability to warn us that they are coming through and wut we are doing...

[-MAD- SARGE]

I think your all missing the point, the more remote, and the areas less traveled the better.  To be extreme, we don't hold a game at a local park in your neighborhood, set out airsoft signs and call it good.

[Bully Dog Airsoft]

Yes! Exactly haha I was thinking the same thing. Thats why our fields are prety remote. And for those who do possibly cross our path then they won't be freaked out by a bunch of teenagers running around shooting eachother with full auto machine guns haha.
