Would you pull the trigger? An ethics poll

[DK1]

I think the proper thing to do is yell "there's about to be consequences and repercussions!" and express with the utmost urgency that you can and will execute with extreme prejudice if the player does not remove himself (and his junk) from the game...

though, in reality, it'd be hard for me not to just let him slide... it'd be hard to look a guy in the eye after you just point blanked him in the goods.

My vote is, he's already out, you are physically touching him. As far as I care, if equipment hits count, that means they are part of "you" and therefore "you" are touching him. Your gun is just and extension of your body.... kind of nija.

What if...

The guy was facing the other way, where instead of touching his "junk", you where touching his "bum". Would you shoot then?

Not only would I pull the trigger (as previously noted) I would laugh and cry like a school girl after bruising his bum (which I would lay on the trigger until I was sure he was bruised).

Junk shots aren't funny, they're painful and serious. Butt shots on the hand are instant classics!

The rambo rule really needs to include barrels. All major scenarios use "barrel tags" instead of touching someone. To me, touching someone and tapping them with the barrel means that person is out, period, no matter what hte situation. You let the guy get that close, be glad he didn't blast you.

What you might've done is cranked the velocity down pretty far and gave him a "love tap".

i feel if your dumb enough to put your self in the situation then you deserve what you get.


man will your balls be sore if i touch my trigger wrong


well there's 2 sides i feel for it but theres alot of stupid people who would shoot you from that close if you tried to surrender them, you find very few people playing rec ball w/ much common sense about the sport most of them have only played 6 months to a year they still are under the impression that its suppose to be a flashback to vietnam and you kill everyone in site.

i have met lots of guys that have played many years of tourney ball and rec ball that have taken the bad end of the stick due to dumb newbs. taking super close shots IE barrel touching body.

i know everyone goes thought the ranks of being a newb but there gonna have to see some of the bad to if there gona see the good.


i personaly would get in a position where i could offer a surrender and if he chose to go on and try to shoot me his balls would be sore but i give all players a chance if there stupid enough to try something there problay smart enough not to do it again

thats my take

Peace

a shot in the jewels from that distance would present a real risk of permanently injuring the junk, i.e. sterilization... if someone did that to me without any kind of warning, you better believe id sue their ***.

Sorry, but this is not correct. When you sign a waiver, no matter what you think it says, you are NOT signing away ALL liability for all injuries. And that does not clear other people AT these locations from being sued either.

[Kaiser Bob]

the field has that 'Rambo' rule instated for just such an occasion, the person's failure to follow the guidelines of the field and cause personal injury would be enough to take the shooter, not the field to court.

[adam shannon]

in a situation like that i always call for a surrender. if the player even twitches in my direction in any way aside from removing his armband he gets stitched. it may be merciless but i wouldnt begrudge any player who did the same to me...if you choose to give it you gotta be man or woman enough to take it.

the only exception is newbies or teen girls. i give them a little more leaway and if necessary shoot for their legs or pack. true baller girls or anybody with any experience get no extra quarter...cuz i wouldnt expect any from them.

pre-nups arent worth the paper their printed on, people who smoke knowing its gonna kill them can sue, 600lb twinky vaccums can sue mcdonalds...i dont think johny cochrain would even need 5 minutes to invalidate any PB waiver.

but really, the language in most PB waivers insulates the field from liability...but reclesss/dangerous behavior by players to other players isnt really covered. even a waiver that covered player to player conduct would fall short of blatently dangerous behavior.

NEWT... CHECK HIS JUNK!!

I would let him know he's out via the Rambo rule, if he doesnt comply, then by all means take a step back and let the paint fly.(heh... i was gonna say "let your balls fly.. but i opted against it... )

ah well learn sumtin new every day

i'm just going off the 3 cases that were filed against my local field all 3 were thrown out.

rambo rule applied kid tried surrendering a kid refused and shot the other player in the groin.

case was for pain and suffering
it was thrown out.

couple others like people lifting up there masks and stuff like that and taking shots in the face


best one was a kid decided that 10.00 was to much for an entry so he grabed a snowmobile helmet and ran out into the field got shot in the head blinding him in one eye
