Morning Folks!
Just played yesterday (Sunday) with mostly ppl I don't know at a nice field, trying my hand as a DMR (which I failed miserably at - apparently I was locating myself in bad cover with poor visibility all day) and I was involved in one somewhat dangerous incident.
Anyways, I was playing in a a medium sized field (around 50m x 50m) with drums and tires, and off course everyone was just taking pot shots from both ends of the field.
This guy who died (I didn't know it then) from the opposing team suddenly comes out behind the drums approximately 15 ft away from me. As I knew that the other team was really good at infiltrating, I shot him with a quick hip shot (another words, not taking time to really aim). As luck would have it, I was on semi-auto, and the BB hit him square in the mouth.
He was furious (luckily, no damage except a swollen lip)! He swore at me and indicated that he was dead. He also noted that he was walking and wasn't in any type of agressive posture. However, HE HAD NEVER ONCE CALLED DEAD or was in a POSTURE which showed he died.
I was pretty mad, but since I didn't know these guys, I decided not to take it further and apologized to him. The biggest thing about this guy is that he's done tactical training for airsoft (AGTS?), and I would expect him to know to call out dead when you're leaving an active field (especially if you're walking towards the opposing team's side).
So the point of my story is: Make sure you call out that you're dead so everyone knows your dead! Or else there's a chance you're going to get a lucky shot to some part of your body that's really going to hurt!
