The reason for this, is that the airsoft game I attended yesterday at camp R&R, had a group of individuals who were young, excited, and having fun. But the problem was as follows:
One of there friends was at the range with a loaded AEG, and when he was done testing the gun, he pointed the gun (which was still a hot weapon, loaded) at the benches where me, my friend, and the group of people I'm talking about were sitting, he was just doing it as a joke mind you. I yelled at him that if he wants to point guns to mess around, take the mag out, to which he complied.
Then not even ten minutes later, the group of kids (who were around 16, 15 years old I think) loaded a cheap M14 SOCOM rifle looking thing. The one guy holding it, sat down, rested the mag which was in the gun, on the table, and began firing towards the gun range, which was very unsafe since there was about 15 meters about between the benches and the gun range. As he was firing, one of his friends, wanted a turn, and began to take it out of his hands as he was firing, to which a four second struggle broke out for the hot weapon... said weapon discharged, and hit me in the back from basically point blank. Luckily it was a cheap rifle, so no damage was done to me or anyone else.
I stood up from my seat and yelled at them from a couple feet away to knock it the f**k off. Which they did.
I then after about eight to ten minutes after the incident, got a seasoned airsoft member (who I thought was a admin, but just really like to help out when he could) and told him about what happened, and to go over and talk to the kids, which straightened them out for the rest of the day.
Its unsafe situations like this, that make me uncomfortable going to airsoft sometimes. Now perhaps this is more of an admin thing, and event field staff problem, but either way, if that hot weapon, was one of those $200 and even more expensive M14 SOCOM rifles, someone could have been really hurt.
Thanks you shortbus for the help, it really did help.

We're not limited strictly to airsoft content, but we've still got a ton of it on-hand and even our unrelated content frequently features community members. I'd be more than happy to start porting it over here, provided I have a place to toss the link up.
...this probably speaks for a lot of folks on AP.Junto wrote:When old leadership tells you to quit bugging them because it's all over and dead, you stop seeing the point in bothering to try.
