Gosh golly, I sure got a licking there.

Though it was moderately humorous. ;)


There was no licking. Merely me questioning his basis for calling me an "idiot", yet having never met me. I challenged him to meet and talk with me at LOW III before forming an opinion and then publicly stating it. He avoided the challenge. According to his reply he has had an issue with me for some time, yet has never felt the need to express it until now.

Glad to see he thought it was funny. I won't waste my breath next time.

This thread is going south. Respectful conversations can't be had on this forum without someone taking it personnally or degrading another human being.

You guys have fun.

P6 out.

Damn I guess I didn't reply to that bit. If you'd like to meet and talk at LOWIII that'd be fine. I really don't care either way.

I wouldn't say I have an issue with you, it's just my opinion of you. It may well be wrong. Quite a few people piss me off on the boards, but are decent in person.

The PM was more calling me childish and my comment uncalled for, unprofessional, and unsportsmanlike. Not questioning my basis for the comment.
The only question you asked was more like a statement.

Yes Sir! Been barking up this tree for a while (QFT every time it pops up) but some people are too comfortable carrying a full load of 400rnd magazines.

my 2 cents vv
I think that there is just something unprofessional of walking around and sounding like a maraca. IMHO For the whole milsim purpose those should be left for the saw gunners

A: the rattling is no basis to ban them, just choose to not use them.

I'm working on rigging up a high cap with an auto feeder chute, and a servo that is rigged to go when the trigger is pulled. That way I can use it in my M4, and it's not a box mag... just a high cap...

I love when people use highcaps. That way you can hear them coming ;)

But following on Ivan, just cause highcaps make noise doesn't mean they should be banned. Limiting the number of highcaps and allowing unlimited midcaps is f***ing retarded. What's the difference between two 300 round highcaps and six 100 midcaps? If people want to use highcaps that's they're own choice. If you hate them, don't use them. Simple as that.

I like it when people actually have to reload (even if it is only every ~150 rounds) as opposed to dumping 400 rounds downrange with a single wind.

Also, less ammo prevents the "sit back and lob bb's" gang from being in the fight for too long.

In my experience I've had to wind high-caps halfway through.
It takes way longer to wind then to reload.
Also with a mid I can send 100 rounds downrange in one burst. Isn't that also ridiculous?
I can carry over 1000 rounds in mids on me at a time. When I do I have never run out of ammo.

I'm sorry you don't understand the reasoning behind a few games allowing only two hi-caps but unlimited mids. I'll explain a little.

I know you're young, so you weren't here for the games where 5 guys in a fixed position, using box mags on their M4's. Killed everything that game near because of the 5,000 rnd box mags. The game was only fun for those 5 players.

Hi-caps are fine for skirmishes, but I consider their use at big games and ops, as bein bleeding retarded. I've seen groups of hicap whores winding and firing at anything and everything. They might as well have had SAWs. They were the kings of spray and pray.

One person carry 8 hi-caps equals 2,400 bb's. The same person carry 8 midcaps has 800 bb's. Two hi-cap mags is 600 rnds. Knowing that their rnds are limited. Leads to players using their rnds smarter. Thus leading to better and safer game play.

Now a lot of people are hesitant to buy midcaps, but seeing that there is a limited bonus to their use over hi-caps. Encourages players to buy midcaps.

In the future, at some games. You will see the number of midcaps being restricted. You will then see the advantage of SAW's without uping the FPS to unsafe levels

Thanks for the insight Catch.

Edit:
Just remembered that this thread really doesn't have anything to do with midcaps vs. highcaps. I think SAW limits should stay where they're at. Safety = more fun.

I think snipers and designated marksmen should carry sidearms. I don't know how I would feel if I was one of those roles and I was required to carry a sidearm. That being said, I would still carry one anyways. No one likes getting their teeth shot out from closer distances with a bolt. Kinda reminds me of LOW II with Jester and Bill in the city. That could've ended really badly.
