| No, we all make small errors... as proven by several of my posts. 
Actually, a former team-mate of mine has a Claymore. I havent got to use it yet, but it does look like it would come in useful.

Not a bad idea, and could be effective. I think we don't though because #1 they're a little expensive, #2 it's annoying having to retrace your steps to pick up the pieces of the grenade that were just thrown everywhere #3 I think even if we are allowed to use grenades (a lot of places don't allow them) the use of blast shields still takes away from the game. Especially in extra-close CQB fighting where they're just putting their gun on top of the shield and firing.

Oh yeah. typically they'll be painted orange on the inside of the pieces that fly off so you can locate them more easily after explosion. Trust me, I'm sure they wouldn't sell too many if they were charging $50+ per grenade and they weren't reusable. Typically you'll just fill them up with BBs, insert some gas, and let'em fly! Repeat as necessary

| Sorry I hate to take this off topic... but I think its kinda funny that this thread is still going. It is also funny that I was the only person that voted yes for the original question. I did it more to screw around with you guys than anything, but nobody else followed suit.

| Wow... Someone has a little too much time on their hands 
Seabass: Why are you surprised people are still talking on this thread? It's still valid and we have new members that are just seeing it for the first time. Nobody else followed suit because they all chose the option they actually agreed with lol

| Sticks: Yes, that is true. I am all of those things.
Admin: I guess we will have to agree to disagree on this then... if blast shields arent allowed in airsoft, there isnt anybody to pick on that is using one.

| i think its ok in close quarters beacause if its genuine military simulation u need them cuz in the police/military they use them, but if its just some jerk in the middle of the woods with one then yes that dumb.
