ACA in AZ

[birdman]

The point that always bothers me is, why? In airsoft, its a pellet gun game. It doesnt matter who wins or loses. Why the hell would you want it too?
I really enjoy the building and modifying aspect of this sport, can I play a decent game? Yes, but, im not here to find out who can do x better, I honestly don't care.

Some people really like ISPC, thats cool. Nothing against them. But honestly, at the end of the day, its a gun that shoots plastic pellets, that started out in the US as something sold out of the back of an ice cream truck. Lets not be too serious now here people.

I am not even worried about this. Rainblow and its members are all the same, regardless of what they seek to do with there lives. you don't make a team into like-minded people, like-minded people make a team, in the sense of what that little shitshow was.

Basically. Glory Hounds,
always trying to be something new, always trying to come in flashy, way more of an idea spitter, then a follow through.

We will see how this plays out.

I think you're spending to much time around Moon.

I find Tier 5 interesting, personally.

Noise making grenades that do not expel BB’s are allowed. They do not count as a hit.

So that leaves exactly what for grenades? Because Snicker and Tornado grenades are absolute shit, IMO. I've never seen one of either sort work right. Snickers go off the instant the spoon flips (i.e. in your hand) and Tornados just don't go off. Last time I saw someone toss a Tornado it coughed and a single BB simply fell out of the port.

Tornado's rely on two things.  Proper maintenance and not being used in dusty/dirty environments.  There's a hotel and Vegas that can vouch for them working VERY well in the right conditions.

Just pointing out that "field guns" (i.e. any AEG rifle) could be a "support gun". MP5 with an auto winding c-mag? Hell yeah, it's a support gun!

Looking through other parts of their website, though, it seems they're taking that rule out. Nice job keeping your website up to date, dicks.

As far as the grenades go, it's a bs rule meant to keep cheating down. IMHO, it's all geared to keep older, more experienced, and more honest players from coming into conflict with the lil hoodie warriors that would dig this sort of thing but hate loosing enough to cheat. That said, this sounds like a big money thing. Nothing wrong with than, just won't send my money that way. Vote with my wallet, as they say.

Oh, I'm not going to say they NEVER work. No, I'm sure they do, but it's that "right conditions" bit that turns me off of them. The battlefield never offers the "right conditions" when you need it to. The timing on a Thunder B might be a bit shifty, but at least it'll go off almost every time.

I've personally seen Thunder B's take a solid 60 seconds to go off.  I've had people tell me stories of ones going off substancially later than that.  I'd rather have a Tornado go off in my hand than a Thunder B.

Not saying any of the above products are perfect.  Just think the Tornado's deserve a bit more credit than you give them.  Mine functioned great until it got dirt in the trolley assembly.  I've seen ones used at Vanguard multiple times in a day without ever failing to go off.

I think the only thing with tornadoes is people calling them. Eh maybe not, I've never used them before, so...

I'm not saying Thunder B's are perfect, mind you, but in my personal experience I've never seen a Tornado work right, and I've only seen a Thunder B dud once. I do agree the timing can be shifty, but it usually goes off reasonably quick, and from what I hear the reliability and consistency of timing can actually be rather dependent on the brand of CO2 cartridge you use.

Also the price difference should be noted as well.

I think that's more a problem with grenades in general. You usually only grenade people you can't see, and if you can't see them, you can't prove they got hit.

.And they should call themselves out, Honor thing, y'know.
