Guys Who Don't Call Their Hits and Other Things That Make You Want To Punch a Baby

As you probably know from previous posts, I LOVE airsoft. I consider airsoft my Cleopatra; it is simultaneously my love, my obsession and my inevitable downfall. Being the guy that I am, I've come to terms with this and look forward to my ruin. However, just like Cleopatra, there are things in airsoft that piss me off to no end and to rectify them I would bring down an empire. However, I am not Mark Antony and rectifying them is not in my power. The only thing that is in my power is to change myself, but why would I want to do that, I'm awesome! I'm definitely God's gift to something. Therefore, I'll have to live with life's little irritations until I learn to bend others to my will instead of beating them into submission.

Back on topic:

Things that piss me off, piss you off and piss your buddy off...

Hit Calling- 
Umm yeah, you flinched for a reason, because I HIT YOU! I know people always talk about honor and integrity but I'm sure most of them don't even know how to spell it. If you did then maybe you would call your hits. These guys are the worst and unfortunately they are everywhere. I know winning is fun and I know mowing down tangos is fun, but do you know what's more fun? Playing by the rules. I sound like a square you say? Uhh yeah, that's because you're the guy not calling his hits.

More than anything this guy the ability to ruin someone's day. Not only that, but if this is common and flagrant it can bring down a field. Nobody wants to go to a field that has a reputation of having players who don't call their hits. Attendance can take a hit as quality players will avoid this type of field like the plague. 13th century England much? Yeah you get my drift.

Laggers-
Why can't you be ready on time! We both know you don't have a girlfriend! Is it because you stayed up all night playing Call of Duty with your buddies who also don't have girlfriends? Listen, there are three things you should be done prior to game time, load your mags, charge your batteries and unf*ck your gear! It's not the SAT's genius, so why are failing it just like you did that test!?! Hmm, I see community college and losing to the opfor in your future. But seriously, why can't these guys be ready on time? Brief starts at 9am, we came ready and prepared to roll over the opfor, its 10:30 and were still waiting for you because your battery died and you have to find someone to loan you one.

Shared a similar experience? Of course you have, this is one of the most common situations in airsoft today. No field is safe from it, these guys are everywhere. Like my dog's fleas, where there's one there's a hundred and they have the potential to kill our vibe and decrease our playing time, two things we could live with out.

Makes sense right? Of course it does, that's why I'm writing this blog and not you.
