Wind won't stop us from playing but it can make the gameplay more difficult

For me, rain just adds a level of fun to a game, and allows you to play the game differently than if it was raining. Still would love to play an airsoft game in the snow.

I remember a "game" that Darius, Alex_Kaeda, others, and I were at in like 2001. You had to get about 10-20ft from each other to hit anyoen because it was raining so hard. The only plus was it looked like you had a muzzle flash.

Not having transportation or another obligation are usually what get in the way, not weather.

Rain? Hell no. Being middle management and being stuck with a crap a** days off, that's what stops me. And snow, I lived in Grand Forks, ND for 2 winters, I can handle snow and cold.
When in doubt, empty the mag.

Rain stops me. But I'm lazy.

usually I make the command decision at 6am when I have been sleeping for 2 hours and my alarm goes off and I'm still drunk and I vote "text people that I'm not going and go back to bed" because I'm a "winner"

I'm a wimp... I'll play if it's light rain, most anything else I won't. Though I am from NorCal and weather is practically non-existent there.
I'm no gearwhore. I prefer "Connoisseur of Fine Tactical Garments".
See me? No? Good.
According to society, I'm too retarded to have life.

Heck no. I was born on a rainy day, and as Oregon has been quite known for, I've lived in the copious yearlong rainfall.
However, recently I've been concerned with the tacti-cool AK I've recently bought, due to the holes actually built in as a style into the RIS, so I'm concerned.
Otherwise. I'll just toss on a boonie, zip up the ATACS/ Gorka, and out I go!
I'd tell you to be careful. It's not the Tank you need to fear.

It's not MILSIM if you bag out for rain.
