What do you think of this?

Well when I was in Airsoft, my team leader was in the British paratrooper. He came to america as an exchange student and decided to take over the Airsoft team.

When I was playing, even though he had formal military training, he taught everyone to not treat Airsoft as a complete simulation of the real thing because our lives arent at stake and this is mostly for fun and competition. Sure we use a lot of military tactics, but they are all modified for the game.

The same can be said about shooters. You aren't getting hurt, tired or stressed out as your character that you are playing would be. You can push the character farther and faster than a real person, putting yourself in harms way and guns blazing. Tactics like that are the key to shooters.

Also 30.5 wasn't my record. I just did the course right away after I saw him use the MP5K and wanted to see how I fair with the same load out. This man on the vid obviously forgot he had a sidearm. He reloaded at least once but I heard him commented that he was reloading again, so twice. He never reloaded any of my weapons when I run the Pit. I just switch to my secondary.

Excal,
Did you notice that the ex-SAS guy did not reload once durring his run? The GSG5 has a magazine of 22 rounds if i remember the ads. This means that with a round in the chamber and a full magazine he hit every one of his targets with a single shot and was dry at the end of his run through. Thus the former SAS guy scores much higher due to accuracy. Ie, 23 rounds fired versus 60+ to 90 rounds fired.

There are 23 targets on the course. He should have reloaded at least ONCE. So

[Rockwolf66]

There are a total of 24 targets and one of them you have to melee attack meaning that to get a perfect accuracy score you have to fire a grand total of 23 shots and not miss. In effect the ex SAS guy fired 1/3rd the ammo for the same end results.

[Excalibur]

He also somehow fired a 23rd shot without reloading. Or the show didnt show us of the SAS guy reloading. The GSG5 mag has only 22 rounds in it

He had to have reloaded, they just edited it out. Anyhow, nice try Briton, but Excalibur is right. I'm not nearly as infuriated as he but I agree the execution for this was all wrong and not all that fair. At least get an actual MP5, Top Gear did it and they were doing a Biathalon, not a combat shooting exercise.

With a single round in the chamber that bumps up the round count to 23 and just enough rounds to service every target once as there is a single melee target. I've chatted with a former SAS member and his responce was that it wasn't bad shooting. As I've seen the man shoot I'll take his word on it.

If you watch the vid again, he didn't chamber a round already into the GSG5. He loaded his only mag and rack the charging handle. He had 22 rounds. There are 23 targets to shoot.
