See video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7TgqtajPno&t=6s Basically a blend of Speedball and Airsoft together. I find there seems to be more SpeedQB teams than Milsim Teams.
Back then all those private ASC games were midcaps only. Now most players carry high caps. Of course there are those who still play with Mid caps but you'll find hi-caps are more common.
Still I have fun either way. You may hear people say "There are so many cheaters nowadays" or "People aren't calling their hits." it's fine, cause us oldies just have to teach them the "Fire for effect." rule in which we continue shooting them until they call it. Then let the refs know too  |
Oh for fuck sakes I knew it. I was ranting and raving all through the 2000s about hi-caps and figures, all the noobs gravitate to that. It's just sloppy to me. First of all the rattling....Why dec-out with a realistic looking gun just to sound no defferent than a paintball hopper?? But they also encourage spam firing and irresponsible shooting.
What's so hard about using a mid-cap with half the capacity that is spring fed??
Anyway, I haven't played since 2009. I've been wanting to get back into it but alas..it looks like what I expected would happen, happened. I knew it was all downhill once I heard Facebook was involved at all.
I miss those sign-ups exclusively on here for places like the old Flag Raiders in Cambridge.
