    Just wondering, if its not too much of a weird question, anyone wear any type of..err... protection down there?....makeshift or otherwise? :D


    also while im here, goin warehouse on tuesday, is an M15A4 too big of a gun to use there or will I be ok?

    all i can think of is the groin protection thing (like ball strangelers) that people in taekuondo use,maybe the martial arts shop in town is your best place to try for one of those,but to be honest is will be anoying you

    the better quality(and more expensive)groin guards can fit comfortably.Ones with strings as opposed to elastic can be fitted quiet loose and wont feel as if your about to castrate yourself:eek:

    btw dont do airsoft,train in muay thai.Cant think of anythin else that could project your dangly bits


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,588 ✭✭✭KonFusion


    I'm proud to see nobody said condoms lol ;)


    yeah I already tried a jock strap/cup, but then u cant feel when u get hit and people complain that ur not taking ur shots lol

    also they're pretty damned uncomfortable...but i guess its a lesser of 2 evils

    maybe I'll jus throw a sock down there ha :P

    Molle might not be bad investment though....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 374 ✭✭andros


    I just put a pair of socks. Works well. My advice is not to expose your jewels. About the gun for CQB. Shorter the preparation time to shoot the better it would be.

    What kind of kit are you wearing that getting shot in the crotch hurt you that much?

    A standard pair of BDU's should be enough to take most of the "whack" out of any skirmish legal aeg.

    ... unless of course you are extraordinarily well endowed, in which case you should be more concerned with finding a motorised wheel-barrow to carry yourself around in.

    You have it all figured out eh Hive? :D

    How many hits to the crotch are you taking that protecting it would make people think you're not taking hits?

    A cup, as opposed to a jock strap, will give you plenty of protection but they're a pain to run in. Those MOLLE blast guards are great but they flap all over the place when you're running.
    My advice is to always remember which gun you're supposed to be leading with...

    He may have been playing against the dreaded Tarantula Taktical Teem, who are notorious for always aiming for the crotch on full-auto, regardless of the difficulty of the shot.

    However, they've yet to come up against the Aled Jones All Stars, and that might prove to be their undoing. Crotch shots are no good against them.



    Tangential, absurdism from KT. You're very welcome.

    They call him tripod, what I can't understand is why he needs three boots. ;)

    Use your team mate as a human shield it works. :D:D
    Wear quality jocks beneath your BDU's or learn to stand sideways, giving your opponents less to shoot at.

    problem with the wheel barrow is your a bigger target

    ... whats an "inevitable penis" ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,205 ✭✭✭Firekitten


    I think he means D**ks will inevitably exist. Especially in airsoft....



    Opinion of someone playing for nearly 5 years now over the water.... If you're getting hit in the crotch enough to warrant looking for a cup or a box... you're doing it wrong.... please stop doing hand stands in the skirmish zone....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,758 ✭✭✭Stercus Accidit


    Either that or you have made enemies with someone who is a good shot :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,205 ✭✭✭Firekitten


    Admitedly most males who I play against take said precaution.... It protects thier future desire to father children.... .43 gram bbs are not condusive to said practice.

    ive seen a few pricks get shot and not take the hit ..... must have been the groin guard ......... it all becomes clear now

    Seriously though (if one can be serious about a crotch-thread ... ), I dunno why people are getting so worked up about getting shot in nether regions. Unless it's point-blank, it'll be a light flick against your BDUs and not much else. Perhaps a "ooo" moment and that's all.

    At the Birmingham 2008 fireball game in Birmingham, my BDUs developed a wonderful rip that migrated up the front of my trousers as the weekend wore on (only having brought the one pair .... crotch-phobes beware, and the Master might want to avert his eyes now). I subsequently took a single BB not only to the crotch, but through the hole in the BDUs with naught but a pair of boxers to shield myself from searing agony.

    Didn't hurt. I just laughed my ass off, along with everyone else in close proximity. I'll laugh jsut as much when someone comes waddling past wearing a cup too :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,984 ✭✭✭NakedDex


    I didn't wear a cup in my years playing hurling or American football. I think the likelihood of an impact to the nether regions (since we're now being incredibly polite and PC about our terminology) is not only considerably greater, but will certainly contain a great deal more force of impact.
    If I wasn't concerned enough to wear one then, I sure as the day breaks won't be concerned enough to wear one to a skirmish. Especially when I'm willing to take a burst of rounds to completely exposed flesh (ie face, hands, arms) already.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,205 ✭✭✭Firekitten


    Oh crap... I never wore a cup.... Oh noes thats what ive been doing wrong all these years....





    Wait do I get tea or coffee in it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,149 ✭✭✭✭Lemming


    I am getting bad images in my head now ... oh god .. the horror! the horror!


    Hmmm, new camo pattern ... porcelain-cam


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,984 ✭✭✭NakedDex


    I want hot chocolate in mine. Do Starbucks do cups?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,205 ✭✭✭Firekitten
