Should A Reloading Airsofter Be Considered A Target , Please Read The Post Below Before Voting Thanks To You

I say yes because like what AFU says. I think that if you are reloding then go get alot of cover

in real combat there is no safety when reloading. considering much of airsoft is mil sim why would it be any different

a reloading target should still be a target because they are still a threat to you, this is because once they reload they have their cross-hairs on you. they are not out when reload, they are at a disadvantage. without this disadvantage nobody would every win. You always attack at the weakest point.

Thats a pretty simple question for me. Chances are when an enemy near me is reloading, they don't see me. So with that in mind I just move up to a position well within my likely hit range (generally not more than 30m) behind them (but well covered) and when they get to moving again (hopefully in the opposite direction from me) i open up. Its ethical and you still get the kill. You can have your cake and eat it too.

i also think that you can shoot someone while reloading, there is no reason not to... and you should always be prepared in the heat of battle...and take cover and pull out your side arm (or secondary weapon) when reloading and not be a wimp about it.

you should also have a teammate near by to cover you as you do your thing

yes. think about.If you where in the army would you kill the enemy if he was reloading? I would.

WOW, what a debate. I say YES, because If people weren't targets while reloading, there would be NO point in conserving ammo. Players would be able to be trigger-happy, and when they reload every ten seconds, nobody can shoot them?? I think that is crazy. And again, In REAL LIFE a person reloading is a target, and Mil-Sim is all about realism. If you don't take the shot and wait for him to reload, he could see you or just naturally relocate to where you can't see him; kill wasted. Or somebody can get you while you wait. And using Flyboys as an example just doesn't seem correct to me. That man was out of action, and a fight was still happening above, and the German swooped down and killed him. BAD MOVE. In airsoft, that kid is just going to reload and attempt to hit you or more of your teammates. Once again, If everyone stopped and waited for people to reload, It takes ALOT of fun out of the game. IMO, it wouldn't be fun anymore.

I totally agree with m14 (Over the past few posts I have stated very similar ideas also) but he hit the nail on the head.

IF I HAVE A OPTION TO HIT A LIVE TARGET 1ST(THREAT) OR BUT ALL IS GAME WHEN HE RELOADS HE WILL UNLOAD WITH FRESH BALLS OF FURY AT YOU WITHOUTH THINKING TWICE....sry caps

what you have to remember reloading without being in a safe location to do so no team cover is bad tactics and thou shal be punished

Let the forum say AMEN

I Love the debate that this Poll started,

Was interesting to read all the posts explaining the Pro´s and Con´s of engaging a reloading player, showed the diffrent attitudes of players and the ways we approach the game.
