Blind Firing
« on: June 29, 2012, 11:08:20 AM »
Blind firing rules are there for safety sake. If you cannot see your target you shouldn't just blindly spray and pray because of the risk of hurting someone if they happen to be right at the end of your barrel around the corner from you.

So using a product like this, I'm curious how many people would have a problem with it? My vote is, it creates a safe way to use a weapon at odd firing angles and therefore should be allowed at games. I plan on using one on my upcoming real steel build.

Curious what others think?

For airsoft I think its a waste of money. I kniw that you can't use them at the big games like lion claws. Just my 2cents

That is awesome. A little pricy for a simple prism made of BK7, but the concept sure is sweet. I personally wouldn't have a problem with anyone using one of these at a game. Botach is a great site though!

I wouldn't have a problem with them at a Phantom game. As long as it's mentioned at the Chrono Station.

Its a pretty cheap way to get kills if you ask me.

IMO Play smarter not harder. This is about out whiting your opponents. Out flank and out maneuver.

I think spazz has something similiar to that and it was on his gun at one of the Fightertown night games, not sure if he used it though.

Oh man for $249.00 I hope that thing can deal with a worst case scenario BB hit, i.e. being hit straight on in the lens portion from nearly point blank range.

There's an airsoft version available for under $50, just FYI.

Here. Shipping will cost you a bit, but still way less than $250.

Call me a cheater if you want but if someone blind fires me I honestly don't go out...
Thats for the places where "Blind Fire" is very much against the rules.

I wouldn't have a problem with someone using this. Just a warning, others also feel the same way I do so a pre game notification of this device would be nice.

I actually like the idea. Its NOT blind firing, because you DO have a line of sight. You would know if somebody is at point blank range or far away. Its the same concept that surrounds the corner shot.
I use to airsoft, then I took a BB to the knee.
