How Many Guns Do You Carry?

Postby Osprey » Mon May 28, 2012 12:24 pm

I'm going to start carrying three to four at one time. Right now I have a pistol in my vest, and another pistol in a holster on my right side. Then I have my 416 with a 3 point sling as my main weapon. Then I was planing on taking on a sniper rifle strap over on my right shoulder.

So how many guns to the rest of you carry?

...

Primary and side arm. Why all the extra weight?

Edit: And then when both my primary and secondary go down, I resort to throwing dirt clods and pellets from the ground.

I carry a primary, and sidearm with me. Why the hell do you need to carry 4 weapons? If you are out of range with your 416, move in closer. Don't sit back and pull out an unneccessary sniper rifle. Don't carry two pistols either. Just buy a couple extra mags for the one pistol. Now you have 2 guns, and you might be somewhat effective in the field because you are a few pounds lighter. Just my 2 cents.

I always carry a main rifle and a pistol. on some cases i also carry my mp7. Why would you need 4 guns. Running out of ammo only means you need more mags :lol:

If your having a range problem, move closer. Theres no need for a one man army here.

The only reason to have more than one weapon in airsoft is if minimum range requirements exist. That, or failure of a primary.

So, rifle. Pistol. However, and quite seriously, I applaud you for carrying so many rifles. I'll make sure to bring a couple types of camo to every game we both attend- it'll be nice to have a stationary target for zeroing my sights on.

You will carry that many guns for as long as it takes you to walk to the spawn point. Good luck crawling through brush and shit with a long bolt action on your back.

I carry a primary and a secondary. Unless you plan on 3/4 of your guns mechanically failing during a game, there really isn't any need to carry more than a primary and a secondary.

Primary. Secondaries are wastes of money, if you don't know how to use one weapon right you don't need another one to make yourself feel better.

No need to haul around your armory.

Though I do carry 2 sidearms (one pistol and a Marushin derringer) along with my primary. I've only been forced to draw the derringer once, but its always fun to surrender/flank with, considering it shoots 200fps and can't hit a thing beyond 15ft.

I rarely carry more than my primary. For several reasons:
-Weight
-Less stuff to catch on the terrain (IE: I'm more high speed low drag without a second replica)
-My primary is reliable, effective, and I carry enough mags

The caveat of course is games where a lower FPS replica is required for indoors or something, then I'll carry a pistol. As an example, I played through about 9 hours of heavy fighting at Lions Claw XI without a secondary, and never once needed one.

Jester hit the nail on the head. At congo crisis i was carrying my bolt the majority of the time but when i had to sling it on my back to pull my sidearm and deal with a close range target it becomes a huge pain to move through brush. Especially since everything is growing up now because of summer.
