Airsoft Blunders

[SickPointe]

Really the only two screw ups I've ever been aware of were in two seperate hostage rescue scenarios. Ok heres the first one. I have to explain the are first: I have a big 4 car garage, and a little room that is seperate from the garage but built into it. The room was used in the 50's to throw your garbage into and you could burn it. So there was a door on one side and a little hatch on the other. The terrorists had taken the hostae (Blorfo) into the little room, stood him infront of the hatch and held it open with an unloaded M16A2 propped in the corner. I rounded the corner with my MP5 in the air and saw the black paintballmask on Joe and the M16 but it was too late I allready popped about 3 rounds into his face! I was so mad at myself, I had just killed the hostage! For those of you who didnt understand that I'll have to take some pics of my house and show you how we play. Anywho on to the next story. Dan the Counter-Terrorist (born_to_lose on the SPAZ forums) Was walking down the alley behind my garage with a Zida SPAS 12. I was just at the corner of the alley with the hostage (I was a terrorist) at gun point. I heard Dan crunching down on the leaves, so I took the hostage and told him to step out into the dark alley. I knew Dan was kind of itchy because it was his first time playing and he was a little trigger happy to say the least. Anyway I pushed the hostage out there and I see him raise his hand in a waveing manner and say "Uhhh... hey..." letting Dan know he was a hostage... or so he thought. I heard the all to familiar cocking of a shotgun, and then several blasts as the hostage hit the floor. Dan for some odd reason killed the hostage in a clear view of sight. I fell over in in laughter and just let him come over and shoot me because I was laughing so hard. I'm sure theres more but I just sneezed and lost my train of thought...

Well  I guess we all have em....
Yesterday we got together and did a little hunt the sniper, we had two snipers (me & knight, yes thats his real name) and 5 hunters. We got into a good concealed spot with just enough openings and cover to make it good shooting for us and bad spotting for them.

Well the first 3 went down easily and unaware, the last two were trying to flank us, even though they didn't exactly have our location pegged.  That being the fatal flaw in their plan, hunter number 4 went down with a single shot from my M4 when he mistakenly took cover facing 90 degrees to us (he really had no idea where we were) It was then things started to go wrong.....
I spotted the last hunter moving fast to our left flank, so I tried a running shot, I got off one shot and then on my second shot my battery decided i t was too tired to push my 170% spring anymore......ert!  Knight managed to get situated were he could lay down some fire and hunter 5 layed down flat out of view some 40 yards away. There was a low brush pile between us and the hunter so I told knight that I would crawl up to the edge of the pile, pop up, and use my pistol, while he kept the hunters head down with some covering fire.  It seemed like a good plan so I commenced my low crawl some 30 yards to the pile...all was going well....i could almost hear him breathing just on the other side of the pile, (visions of multiple pistol shots impacting my soon to be victim danced in my head as I grinned smartly, with cocky anticipation)  I quietly reached down to unholster my 1911 Gas gun (still grinning) .......I was fumbling a little finding the strap and then I couldn't quite get a grip on the gun like I normally do, so I looked down to my right thigh and ...........what!! EMPTY HOLSTER!!!   Doh! I visually traced the past 30 yards to were I was hidden and sheesh! there was a trail of stuff, a bottle of bb's was first, then I saw one of my xtra M4 mags, and then just about were I started from was the 1911........needles to say at this point I felt like the most bumbling untactical NooB out there......  well It did work out in the end, knight ended up getting him as we both just jumped up and rushed (me without even having a gun that would shoot)
I guess we all have our moments............just why do mine always have to happen in the same day!

How about loading an empty mag into your MP5 thinking it's fresh then jumping into a room filled with tangos.  You should see the look on someone's face when they hear an empty full auto AEG from not a foot away from thier head.  I have never breathed "oh shit" before.

Haven't you always found out that people always think it's a funny story when it happends to you?

and I was the one who put it there, thank you. they just told me to do something to confuse you guys.

Well. lets see. i dont know if mine should be a blounder a strait slap me for being so dumb....

me and my buddy  jacob just got our guns. and we have this friend that thought it would be fun if we hunted him. (he didnt have a gun.) so me and jacob let him run through the woods while we loaded our batteries and mags... well for some reason i coulnd find my batteries. i thought i left them at jacobs house... well any ways i went threw the woods and just to scare the runner. well we pinged him for like an hour strait. me and him took turns running and hiding. i got shot in the arm so many times. but any ways we were walkin home in the dark and a bright light flew over. we think it was the police helicopter doin its rounds but what ever i am just happy it flew cuz i caught a glare to my 2 o'clock. both my batteries were laying side by side in the tall grass....

YEA GO AHEAD LAUGH IF U WANT... AT LEAST I DIDNT PUT AN EMPTY MAG IN MY GUN OR SHOOT MY HOSTAGE... jk guys.
