Would you attend an event that was pistols only?

[necronomicon]

I've been talking with a couple members of my team about hosting an event that would be pistols-only. I have never seen a pistols-only event held in Ohio ever, and think some players might be interested in such a game.

So, here is my reason for posting. I want to get some feedback from some of our members if they would be willing to attend such an event. The rules would allow any type of pistol, with any velocity, to be used in the game. This would allow any type of spring pistol, GBB, NBB or AEP to be used in the game. This would also include the MP5K and MP7 but the user would be restricted to carrying three standard mags total (50 rounds per mag for both). I would also alow the use of any type of spring or gas powered shotgun and moscart launchers (Shower rounds only). Though it won't be strictly pistols only as the name implies, you rarely see these weapons in use on the field (with the exception of some launchers) and are about as competitive as a typical GBB.

The point is that while games with AEGs are a blast, playing with pistols only can lead to more intense gameplay. You aren't lugging around a rifle all day and a vest full of mags, so you will be free to move around. This means more running and gunning and intense games (at least thats how I think). Anyways, voice your opinions on whether or not you would be interested in attending such an event. Also, if you support the idea of the event and would like to help set it up, provide a location that would benefit this type of play or have some ideas concerning rules, scenarios or organization of the event, please give me all your ideas and feedback. If I get enough support for an event like this, I might consider hosting one towards the end of summer.

You may also PM me with any ideas you have.

&%$# you Necro. Go back to Florida and Die you commie, chain-smoking bastard. I hate you.


Hahaha, no don't leave us again...but I voted for definitely, depending on where and when, I would be completely in, especially since I am getting a gas Maruzen M870 combat shorty. I would love to play short range guns only.

Here is my .02. Make it indoors in a CQB envyroment. Also, if we have an event like this, could we use some of battle priest's ideas and have an IPSC competion too?

Mac out

Would this also include MAC11s since it is technically a "machine pistol?" Also since you are allowing MP5Ks, would other gas powered submachine guns, such as the Vz.61, be allowed?

[Violator]

This isn't a bad idea, but I don't think any NON-PISTOL weapon capable of automatic fire should be allowed.

Necro, contrary to your post I've seen some people compete very well with the MP5Ks. They are as good or better than a stock TM m4 in my opinion.

With that being said, I think a pistol/shotgun only event would be great.

[THX]

Make it similar to this and Im there!

I'll second that. That's the option I wanted to vote for.

[Iceman]

For my money, I would go where-ever and when-ever. One cavet though, I do agree that it should be limited to any non-auto fire gun, and I think it should be limited in terms of upgrades/fps. Reason being is that I would hate to roll a corner with my M3 (mmmmm benelli shotgun goodness) and be staring down the barrel of a MK1 with red gas. Now, the general idea is great, just needs some fine tuning. I think it would be awesome to go to a game and all you hear is the racking of a gbb slide and the manly pump of a shotgun. Keep us in the loop.

[Duo Chan]

Depending on how far I'd have to drive, and the cost of the event, I would be totally there.

Solid snaking in the grass. ;) ;)

I also agree that it should be limited to semi-automatic pistols, shotguns and of course, knife kills.

[Thatfatmacdude]

I think that the non-auto rule should not be put in place. Unlike most of my fellow pro-killer owners, I rarely click to full auto. But then if you have someone that is just out of range, it is nice to have the select fire for a quck, accurate seccond shot to insure a kill. Oh well, looks like I'll have to buy more pistols.

[Grimlock]

Airsoft is airsoft. As long as you get a good amount of people, I'm in.:)

[CptGooch]

If it was just semi-automatic pistols I would come.

[swimboy]

this sounds awesome! i have always thought that it would be great to have a pistols only match. i also think that mp5's and mp7's should not be allowed. they would have a huge edge over the true pistols. other than that this would be terrific!

[stewb_10]

something about only having 2 mags on me and refilling gas all day doesnt really appeal to me. plus im between GBBs right now, trying to decide whether i want to get another G19 or a TM MK.23..

[cani get enough]

dude it would be sweet i could get more people to come only pistols (gas and spring)no shotguns or mp5 maybe find a building in cleveland area i live in north east ohio at least get 1 or 2 hours away from mentor use a game of SWAT have hostages and and a bunch of people hold the building and force of like 10 people try to take it in a hour or less

Wow, and that entire post had no puncuation. Slow down kid, this isn't a race.

[raptor8390]

gentlemen and ladies,

i think a pistol only game would be a blast. the 97th occasionally has pistol games and they are fast paced and loads of fun. i am in wherever and whenever. You might try setting it up at the cqb house in kettering. great place to play.

Why not automatics?
every one had the option of buying AN AUTOMATIC PISTOL, SO THOSE WHO DD SHOULD BE ALLLOWED TO USE THEM
(excuse my caps lock)
:D

[raptor8390]

honestly i agree with phil, an automatic pistol should be acceptable because it is still a pistol. reality of the situation is not every person will be evenly matched no matter what you do and i think this variable adds to the excitement.

[stewb_10]

yea, good luck with auto pistols if you are only allowed to carry 2 mags (like biohazard if thats what you base off of).. i think its fair.. they only have 5-10 seconds worth of bbs if they choose to use a full auto gas gun with a 2 mag limit..

[Thatfatmacdude]

If we put a mag limit on the Auto-pistols, we should place a mag limit on the non-selective fire pistol as well. Then our other option would be to not have a limit. Also would there be limit on the number of pistols allowed?

[cani get enough]

thanks,ICEMAN

[Shogun]

I think this is a great idea, and I would join the others that want to go semi only, unless the full auto pistols are limited to how many mags they are allowed.

[insane]

Wow, long time since I've been around here! I would be up for a game if it's around Cinci. I have a KWA G23F (full auto) with a hicap and a standard mag.

Depending on costs and location.

[clown]

eh, ide come if i had the time and proper gear. pistols only sounds fun. autos shouldent be too bad. i dont really agree with mp5ks and mp7s though. if your talkin ebbs with auto settings ime all for it. and shotguns. idk. shotguns kinda destroy the point of pistols only. i mean, if you can use a shotgun ime pretty shure that would be the starting weapon and the use of pistols wouldent be requirded. my shotty holds 60 bbs. so either i get shot before i run out, or everyone is shot before i run out, depending on how many people are there. idk. just my opinion

[King]

I'm game for this idea. I haven't used my MP5K in forever. I usually just use it as my backup or a loaner. I would finally be able to use it!

[Noeone]

This would be a great idea for the people who couldn't afford aeg's and decided to go with gbb's instead of guns like the UTG AK/MP5 (I was thinking about doing that but I went with the UTG because of the overhead of gas).

[Inferno]

I'm in love with my pistol, so I would definitely be there. I don't really see a problem with auto pistols, shotguns, etc. I've played in regular events with just a pistol and was quite successful against players with aegs. Pretty much whatever the rules I'll come.

[Nayo]

just need to know where and when.:)

[siacono]

I would attend although it would have to be in Columbus or north of Columbus. I have a KWA G18C. ? question ? If you make in non-auto, would I still be able to use my G18 as long as it stays in semi-auto mode? I do not really want to have to buy another pistol.

Yeah if you are going agianst a guy with a better gun you just have to use better strategy and more skill than the other guy.

I attended a few handgun only games back in the day in Pennsylvania. A very good time as long as their are certain guidelines set and heavily enforced.

We had about 10-12 guys in a CQB setting using sidearms only and it worked out very well. Alot of tactics, not blind firing Paint-Soft.

The only time we had problem was with full auto users. After few bad situations (spray and pray god's - increased blind firing - etc.) it began getting away from the core values of what we started it on. So we eventually banned all full auto weaponry (back then the player base wasn't saturated with full auto Glock's and the like) and it returned to being a very fun, practical time.

I have sense moved from that college, and most of the other players graduated and haven't had a good public all pistol game in along time.

When ya get some more intel on a date/AO, let me know, I'd love to come depending on rules and such.

Have a good one,
Lu

[john]

why exclude smgs when you really want single shot? i have a mac that i only use on single shot if i really want to hit something.

i don't see what the deal is with shotguns really? They have their weaknesses.

you could also inhibit the full auto users with a mag limitation. then they have to resort to a sidearm. i like this much better because it allows for more expression with your weapons. It also adds to the possibilities and scope of a gas game.

i would like a pistols only game for a cop shoot out or as long as the game simulated something.

oh and hell yea i would attend one.

[Tanker671]

I would not attend a event pistols only

[Motis]

pistols, shotguns, limited smg's (machine pistols)

so basically you guys want some inner city warfare
Im jk actually Ive wanted to do something like this for a while. I think the mp5k is fine to use not sure about which firing mode yet tho, but definatly shotguns, they just fix because you never see them used as much and I see no problem with auto pistols... if your willing to try to hit somthing with your 18c on auto and waste your presious pistol ammo, go ahead, be my guest. also the mp7 should be allowed to, its concidered an AEP and thats fine with me

This would be 1001123041035 times better if it were indoors, like a pistol killhouse, however I realize that finding this wouldnt be very easy and would just hope that the place will atleast be mostly CQC oriented and wouldnt just be trees, leaves and bushes

[Firefly]

I would if it was in door with a spy theme, kinda like james bond or misson inpossible. I think it would be kinda fun and a true test of marksmanship.
