Re: Double Tap

I usually go for the neck if your opposition isn't taking hits.

Back on subject - Almost all the time in semi-auto CQB games, in woodland (dependant on range) it's usually a small burst of fire on full auto.

Mid-caps own! hah

Re: Double Tap

unless you have a REALY good mos-fet then double tap is hard to do with an AEG due to slow trigger response time. pistols however are much more like the real thing and will fire as fast as you can pull the trigger.

also how has this become a thread about where to shoot people?

Guitarist's fingers mate! haha

EDIT: Remember that a double-tap isn't a "fire off 2 rounds as quickly as possible" technique. It's 2 well placed rounds.

Re: Double Tap

Indeed, but an effective double tap is two rounds accuratley placed and fired as fast a possible =]

I usually go for a double or triple tap on the vest, where i play everyone calls thier hits so its not usually a problem with people not feeling it, although it may be something to do with me being 4-5 metres away in woodland hehe.....

Re: Double Tap

in the heat of battle i go for any part thats a viable target...and unload till they go "hit" or until i go hit...if its too close i will aim for the chest, not to be a sportsman,only because its a bigger target and when i come face to face my pistol or whatever it is im using is usually aiming at the chest...as i dont really aim down the sights, coz in cqb i dont really have the time its all happening too quick, doesnt sound too professional i know

Re: Double Tap

I Only really use this method if i can only see a small part of the opposition body, Always use it with my pistol though as it makes them fell it more instead of just 1 shot.

Sounds perfectly professional to me. In the mob, we were taught to fire till the target goes down and that centre mass is the easiest target to hit.

I never aim through both the front and back sights, except when target shooting. Just bring the pistol up until the front sight is over centre mass and squeeze off 2 rounds as the weapon rises. Works for me.

OK, special forces may like their double taps to the head, but they're really hard shots to pull off. Just look at all the rounds fired at stockwell tube station, just to ensure a kill, in a situation where there was no clear shot because of all the cops around the guy.

Re: Double Tap

Personally I feel that double-tapping in airsoft is just for fun, as its real world purpose is to incapacitate the target quickly by making two holes in him thereby stopping him, eh... dead, not bleeding to death. In airsoft its one shot one kill, there is no recoil to overcome and if you have a box-magged aeg why double-tap when you can spray him down thereby increasing you're chances of a hit!

Re: Double Tap

This is just a bit of fun tactical info for the guys that do not know. The real way to double tap is for the first round to be placed in the chest, then use the recoil action of the the weapon to place the second in the head. Hard to proform with a BB weapon, but trying is good fun!

Re: Double Tap

With my pistols I only double tap in CQB/indoors as I've learnt the hard way people dont always feel the single bb thru all the layers they wear.
In woodland I usually just fire a single aimed shot as alot of the time I'll be using my socom and one single shot can be mistaken for a sniper so the enemy will usually look past me for where the shot has come from.
If I'm using a gbb its also harder to pinpoint where a single shot has come from.

if you have a box-magged aeg why double-tap when you can spray him down thereby increasing you're chances of a hit!

I prefer to use sights and aim at my targets. I find I have a good chance of hitting my target when I do that.
