Perringtonbear Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 Sorry if this has been talked about on here before, but just started looking into airsoft and was wondering if taking a 2 tone gun to a skirmish site would be ok? Like would you be laughed out or do a lot of people do it? I know about the obvious standing out like a sore thumb problem but haven't found any other info on this anywhere. Any help would be great.
Supporters Sitting Duck Posted April 2, 2015 Supporters Posted April 2, 2015 paint it, cover with tape to avoid giving away your position blah blah blah for parts/upgrades: http://www.airsoftsniperparts.com/identifyyourrifle.htmhttp://www.airsoftsniperparts.com/apps/webstore/products/category/764410?page=1 depending on what "BB guns" site you bought from and what she is shooting at would suggest using heavier bb's eg: 0.30gms upwards on 425/450fps (you have one shot so try to ensure it ain't blown off course so much) if she is over 330 - 350fps you have a Min Engagement Distance or MED you can't shoot anybody unless they are aprox 30metres away anything under that you have to use secondary/pistol or pray/retreat MED's may vary but aprox 25/30metres for sniping failure to abide by the site's guidelines will see you warned/banned soz if you was already aware of this but site will explain and usually ask you to confirm what 30m looks like This is very important to abide by to avoid being warned/banned or lit up by a lot of pi$$ed players cheaper snipers are usually ok to get your feet wet, to get them shooting really well and maintain accuracy will require a few upgrades at some stage cheap AEG's are not ok though, often cheap "BB site" AEG's will be shooting under 300 & under 250 is not uncommon on usual 0.20gms bb's, plus these will be firing at under 10 rounds/sec vivid orange that screams come and get me especially in camo woodland and pi$$ poor range too at an absolute scrape the crappy 2-tone aeg's they sell could kind of be ok-ish at CQB sites (close engagement, semi in most places so crappy gun might scrape by but still at a disadvantage though) but yeah 2-tone especially vivid orange is a real giveaway out in the woods no you shouldn't get laughed at - or not too much coz most of us started out that way if you can tone down/paint/cover it it should help extend you playtime a bit just anybody who ain't so cammo/stealthy kitted out, don't keep following the more stealthy/cammo'd players (unless you enjoy being told where to go as vivid orange really draws attention to you) play safe, apply common sense, listen to marshals and experienced players/teamates etc.... mag out/clear gun at safe zone, good eye pro & in general: don't be a dick and you will be fine Perringtonbear 1
Supporters Popular Post Lozart Posted April 2, 2015 Supporters Popular Post Posted April 2, 2015 Nobody really cares if you have a 2tone gun. If they do then they're the nobs, not you. It CAN give away your position so maybe go for the camo tape option (as you can then take it off come the end of the day) but don't sweat it. We all started somewhere.

Supporters Sitting Duck Posted April 2, 2015 Supporters Posted April 2, 2015 Oh yeah many players are very firendly and will gladly help/support a newcomer I always kept away from the more experience team mates with my first tango BB site gun (not just coz it was vivid but also I was/still crap myself) But was trying to say know your limits and if your team are gonna try a stealthy flank... ffs don't join them but maybe stay behind at base with a day-glo gun or your lesser skills drawing enemy attention/fire Some of them experienced players that used to frequent TWA Urban were in another league or two to this noobish duck I would watch in amazement how just a couple of them left could still turn the game around and we still won - wow Perringtonbear 1
Perringtonbear Posted April 2, 2015 Author Posted April 2, 2015 Cheers lads For all great replies, nice to have some solid answers.
BrightCandle Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 Most sites allow 2 tone and in around where I play I would say anywhere from 10-30% use two tone. About the only site I know that doesn't have any is UCAP sandpit because they don't allow two tones. But that is really rare, most sites allow them and its pretty normal to see them.

Supporters ImTriggerHappy Posted April 2, 2015 Supporters Posted April 2, 2015 It shouldn't matter what colour your TOY GUN is. The only people I have ever seen say anything about noobs and two tone guns are usually spotty kids trying to look big or the elitist nobheads who would run away in real life and use airsoft as a substitute for their lack of a sex life. Real players couldn't care less its all about having fun. Go out and have fun and if anybody has a problem its theirs not yours. Topics like this make me tempted to paint all my kit day glow pink.

Aunty Pasty Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 I'm tempted to go to my next skirmish in a Hawaiian shirt and a straw hat. When the people divide up into 2 teams I want to see how many wander to the other side. No really, don't worry about it. I just assume they're either under 18 or bought a gun when they didn't get UKARA. I've seen some experienced players playing with bright green sniper rifles. I've got a 2 tone pistol myself (blue slide) but it doesn't get pulled out much. Perringtonbear 1

Josh95 Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 no1 cares, a lot of older players who have UKARA's still use two tone guns because they cant be bothered to buy a new one/ paint it n1ckh and Perringtonbear 2

I've only seen 1I have seen a quite a few female players at my regular site and been shot by them a fair few times as well. Airsoft is one of those sports where the only thing that matters is how you play. I saw one girl who was very pretty and quite a few people cracked jokes in the safe room. A couple of matches in and it all stopped when people had been completely owned by her she was very fast running around with 2 pistols. One of the best CQB players I ever saw. Lozart 1

It's not really a woman's sport though. You would expect women that play darts to be interested in Airsoft.
