I played in a private group over the weekend. Every couple of months
we get together and play. Anyways this past weekend we played at a new place and a couple of regulars there joined us. After a couple of games I noticed that all GUN HITS weren't counting. All previous gatherings we counted them. After the game we met as a group to talk about it. My reason for counting gun hits is it deters people from blind shooting and using the marker as a shield. The regulars who talked to the ref and suggested we don't count gun hits said that in "real" combat battle if you get shot in the gun you don't die. What are everyones thoughts on this subject. I'm a relatively new player, only been playing for about a year. Same with my group. I would love to here from exprienced players on this subject.

Personally, when I play we play if your gun IS hit, you're out. I know that in tournaments if your gun is hit, your out also. But I think that in scenarios and things of that sort, that maybe they can be allowed. -------------

You don't die, but your gun wont function anymore, so what's the point of staying in if you don't have a backup? -------------

In "real" combat, if you get shot in the gun, you will most likely die
from the pieces of the gun cutting into your skin and tearing your
organs out. If you don't, you're just as good as dead because you
have no way to fight back against your enemies who have guns.

ahhah No gun hits? THat's the lamest thing I've heard... If you get shot in the arm, leg, or shoulder in combat you don't die most of the time...So why don't you get rid of arm hits as well? -------------

it depends who i play with. Honestly, I like the idea of counting gun hits because it prevents a lot of people from blind firing. |

Gun hits should count, blind shooting dosent take any skill and I've seen people use their gun as a shield. ------------- Team Salem, Kuwait 08 |

Sometimes you do....its called Playin Vitals. If your hit in the arms and legs you can stay in seeing as how you can still funtion without them. I say play however. If you want to follow tourny rules, play with gun hits. If you just want to play for the sake of playing, don't count em. ------------- http://imageshack.us - [IMG - http://img456.imageshack.us/img456/857/sig9ac6cs1mj.jpg - |

I've played where only Torso shots counted as Outs , and both of the other ways mentioned, it matters not , as long as all play by the same rules , and honor them . ------------- SL68-II , micro honed and polished .688" bore . Tuff Enuf . Widowmaker , under construction |

If they do body hits only, anyone with an Impulse will rule the field.
One of the fields in Orlando has a "bounces count" rule.. which even the employees protest. I mean, it's PAINTball... etc. ------------- Is God real? You'll find out when you die.

I don't believe this conversation is happening. Of course gun hits count. If you want to play outlaw ball in your back yard, do whatever you want, but in the real world, a break is a break. Use your gun as a shield? Are you for real? If it will get you a purple heart in real life, it will get you out in paintball. ------------- The sky darkens.

I figured, people can start turning their hoppers sideways for a little
better coverage. One more reason why I like it when gun hits count.  ------------- 98C, Dbl Trigger w/trigger stop Shocktech Long Drop W/CP On/Off Ricochet AK, Sticky'03s Palmer Reg., Rocket Cock Elbow Wobble Fix, Polished Internals Dye Xcel 12", CP One Piece 12" 68/4500 Cross |
