This thread is designed to cash in on the experiences of airsofters who were involved in human factor mishaps or close calls, errors of judgments, or whatever, which might generate a 'THERE I WAS' story.
Basically, we want accounts of personal errors, or mistakes that we can put here to warn others not to make the same mistakes. The end hoped-for result, of course, is a reduction of our game sites mishaps.
This is not to encourage reporting of other peoples' shortcomings - it is not a grievance system, and there will be no retribution or confidentiality breaches.
We are sure there are some great stories out there just waiting to be told, so how about sharing them?

THERE I WAS,... trying to find a better target than the exposed head of the tango (body shot, since my M4 chronos around 480 FPS or wait for him to blunder into my position so I can ask him to surrender), when suddenly I was hosed from my left flank!! AM HISTORY!!
What happened was an OPFOR ran out of ammo, went to the neutral area, got re-supplied by the Marshal and ran out-of-bounds back to the game area, ...that is why he was able to penetrate our left flank!!
HOW'S THAT FOR A BLOOFER?

THERE WAS THIS . . . incident wherein a newbie was allowed to play using inadequate eye protection, sunglasses and net over his head (covering his face). We thought this was adequate enough,... what a stupid mistake!!
He was surprised by the OPFOR in heavy cover and sustained a hit in the face and guess what, the sunglasses shattered!!! Fortunately, he was not hurt except his ego but nothing of this sort should happen again!
CTANCENTCOM warfighters, NO COMPROMISE WHEN IT COMES TO EYE PROTECTION.
PLAY SAFE AND ENJOY.

there is really a downside to having your gun upgraded to higher FPS. your shot windows get narrower at close ranges. for fear of inflicting harm to a fellow airsofter, i opted to ask him to surrender but before i could open my mouth, he opened fire at me, hitting me right at my safety goggle! am hit! blueforce is dead! no harm done but my ego. blamed myself for being a softy but it was my call. no iffing/perhapsing there! my only consolation was that the tango acknowledged that i had him in my sights! i had him dead left to right!
LESSON LEARNED: SHOOT FIRST BEFORE ASKING!
hehehehehehe
