Going full-auto and taking 15+ headshots seems to fix that.  I've only seen that happen once, though.  Most people aren't blatant cheaters, at least at larger games where they can get booted out by the refs.
Plus if you start cheating you are making a bad image of your self and the club you are part of.
Doesn't seem very worth it tbh, in the end its just a game.
who needs a club?
kids who aren't old enough for the military/ pussies who want to play soldier all day.

I said it was the closest you can get without using real bullets.
wrong.
Ok so what would the closest be?

I don't understand what the difference between "war games" and paintball / airsoft is.

opfors?

And from that post I conclude that the most realistic experience of war that a normal person can have, without joining any armed forces, is airsport / paintball. Which is entirely shifty's point, I would imagine.

Opposing force.

Major field exercises.

Shit even video games are closer to real war than airsoft.

Yes that's my point.

I fail to see how video games can be a better simulation. You're just sitting at a computer for that.

So many things aren't simulated in a video game. The movement usually sucks, you cannot adapt your posture to the area you're in. It's usually just prone, crouch and standing positions you just have to make do with.

trust me liq, airsoft is not even remotely realistic to war, even for a civilian. go buy couple rounds of siminuation and shoot at your friends in the woods.

I agree that it's probably not even remotely realistic. The point is that for the average person (especially in the UK where most people haven't held, let alone shot, a real gun) the closest simulation of (close quarters, infantry) warfare without putting themselves in any actual danger is airsoft / paintball.

siminuation? I presume that's a portmanteau of simulation and ammunition. In which case ... isn't that what paintballs and whatever the pellets are called that airsoft uses are?

This is exactly my point.

Airsoft and paintball is as real as it gets for most people not in the military.

No. Look it up. Someone posted a link earlier, I can't imagine civilians can get a hold of it though.

I'm sure you can in the US if you look carefully enough.
