| Something that came to mind after playing the past two games that I've attended is the limit of layers of clothing a player can wear.
Now I think we can all remember the very cold Tet Offensive game; it was cold so I wore about 4 t-shirts, a sweater, and a vest. Now at the Red Dawn game I had two white t-shirts, and no vest; now at the cold Tet game where I had many layers, I didn't get a single welt on my chest or back, but after the Red Dawn game, I have multiple welts on my back and my chest.
And I'm a guy that only calls his hits if I feel it, and there was some dispute at the last game where someone thought they hit me yet I didn't call a hit because I didn't feel it, and I wonder if that was the case with some of the other people too.
So now I wonder whether there should be a 2 or 3 layer limit which would include vests. | |

| I wear under armor, a BDU top and a vest. I think that's the usual for most everyone else with the exception of a t-shirt rather then the under armor. I never have a hard time feeling shots unless they hit my vest. When they hit my vest I usually hear them. :-) | |

| SteveO you are going to have a real hard time telling people how to prepare for a game. That would be taking it a bit too far. But looking at your cold weather list, you were a bit overprotected.. But as Fireman said, some under armour would eliminate the need for excess layers. It does not add padding, but the protection from elements is great. | |

| Even with lots of layers you know if you've been hit 99 percent of the time. There is the occasional, "I'm not sure if I'm hit" when you are running through a bunch of brush or got a glancing blow, but honestly that's part of the game that I really don't see changing anytime soon. | |

Super good question SteveO Principles, values, standards, or rules of behavior that guide the decisions, procedures and systems of an organization in a way that (a) contributes to the welfare of its key stakeholders. (b) respects the rights of all constituents affected by its operations Soooooo!!!!!! Be kind please rewind , take your red flag . I always say, the man who smiles when things go wrong has thought of someone to blame it on. Blame on your Team or the other Team if you like ………LOL You know What I say When I get shoot? In Airsoft never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway !!! | |

| i think a rule on how much you can wear is a little excessive and unnecessary. 9 out of 10 times you know that you have been hit. i personally get hit in the vest more than anything and cant feel that but you can hear it which goes back to that thing called honor. if you are hiding behind a bush and someone lets a full auto blast go and you hear rounds going past you on both sides it is more likely than not that you were hit, you just didn't feel it. | |

| Remember new players will not hear the bb's hit at first if they don't feel it. I have seen it bunches of times from honorable players. A BB hits a vest and they just keep going until someone pelts the hell out of the vest and them. It takes maybe a couple games. Keep it in mind before you get your panties in a wad when you KNOW you shot some guy. Think hey maybe that guy is new and didn't feel it.
One rule we do up in GA which is not perfect but generally curbs hard feelings is that if you shoot someone and shoot someone and they will not call it you can call yourself out walk over to him and tell him and you both go to respawn. This isn't perfect but we rarely see onfield bitch fests since we started using it. | |

| I think if there was a buffet table (wings, pizza, you know...) in the cell, more people would call themselves out.... | |
