Blind Fire

k99_64

What be the specific rules/ guidelines regarding it???

Doomofman

No blind fire... Its dangerous

gerrowadat

It's also lame.

The traditional response in RS to blind fire from a window or whatever is to shoot the target through the wall, since you then know where they are. Don't have that option in airsoft :-)

So its only aim at the target yes, no shooting at the boards where they are hiding etc?

What would be the point in shooting at the boards? Ricochets dont count

gandalf

Nope I'd shoot at boards if I knew they were behind them but the shot would be aimed and not fired without me seeing where the shot was going. I'd do this especially if there were team mates moving forward and I wanted to make sure the other side kept their heads down.

TheDoc

If you canaim directly at a targets cover, you can of course open fire, this is to suppress the enemy to keep their head down.

Blind firing in airsoft, can be dangerous. you could blindfire directly into someone a few yards away.

Grand so, that is what i was wondering about. 'Aim your shots'

Blind Firing is when a player shoots with out “looking at what he/she is shooting at”.

EXAMPLE: If you are on one side of a structure and you think someone may be on the other side, don’t stick your gun around the wall and fire without shouldering your Airsoft gun or looking through your “ghost sights” as you shoot.

And Blind fire is defined as simply firing without recognizing what you are fire at. Blind fire includes, but is not limited to, firing around corners without aiming, ducking under a window while fire through it, and using a team member a shield and waving your gun around and shooting.

And not being able to see where your BBs are going is not allowed.

exactly i do this all the time, lay into them so they cant move while your team moves up, also good shooting between the cracks in theirs even though i doesnt count it will piss em off and make em pop out to fire back or move back

Suppresing fire isn't the same as blind fire...

ED E

If you want you can buy a cornershot, but I doubt you'd get a good reception in the safe zone.

No i kinda meant it in the overall theme of the thread...

TheDoc

Nowhere was it referenced as the same thing.

Suppresing fire was related too in regards to pinning and enemies head down

But anyway to nail this thread on the head.

Blind fire as described perfectly by HRTA, is a no no.

Supressing fire, should you have your AEg aimed at the targets cover, is perfectly fine.

Basically don't shoot if you cant see where your bbs are going to go

blind fire is "not looking down the sight of your gun". simple as., and its cheating.,

But would "not looking down the sight of your gun" not cover firing from the hip as well? Or is that frowned upon aswell?

Masada

not exactly frowned apon., but pointless., thats only ever useful in the movies.,

Rhinocharge

Blindfire is simply opening fire when you cannot see the intended target. Normally when you shoot you point your gun in the direction that your looking. Blindfire is simply not looking. It is dangerous, irresponsible & unsporting.

TheDoc

You can only fire form the hip, and not be frowned upon, if your me in my tight t-shirt launching mag after mag and grenade after grenade from my m16...

Then you can join the class of cool


And "overweight and cool"

Richie, in for fun games I fire from the hip while still hitting. Stick it on semi, fire, trace, fire, trace, hit. Soo much easier than shouldering it. And yeah, I could use the sights and hit in maybe 1 or 2 shots, but its not like bbs are expensive:rolleyes:

andy_g

basically if i stuck my aeg (facing backwards over my shoulder or around a corner without looking at what i was shooting at) is blind fire

So basically you've proved its a pointless thing to do.,


when i say "look down the sites" its referrs to peaking your head out with the gun to give me an equal opertunity to his you like you have of hitting me.,
same allys to using the shield in HRTA, i can see through it but i would always pop out to put fire on someone.,

There was some mentions of blind firing is dangerous.
Can people give examples? So people would know exactly
why it should not be done.

Your in a play area (not a safezone) where people are expecting to get
hit by a BB from an airsoft device at 1j or under and you have your safety gear on as your
in play. Surely there would be no danger to players?

bullets there is a chance you could be opening up at someone at very close range without knowing. Full auto at a few feet in the face would not be pretty.

Ah cool. I forgot also that some people only use the glasses and not full face masks.
Havent got hit by a BB ever, but I can imagine a BB to the tooth for example may send a nice
sharp twang down a nerve ending.
