Safety

Do you guys actually use your Safety, aside from in the staging area?

Personaly, If I am on a patrol or dont "expect" to make contact I have my safety on.

Seems I may be one of the rare guys who actually do it though... There must be some guys here who use both RS and Airsoft and have kept that good habit.

Whenever I'm out and about, if at any time I'm expecting to possibly make contact, my safety is off and my finger is alongside the trigger guard. Aside from that, my AEGs are on safe.

when I'm on the feild I have my gun on semi and my finger off the trigger, I have had a couple instances where I am confronted and bring up my gun to shoot them and *click* forgot the safty is on.

Sully · August 25th, 2009, 11:03

depending on the type of game, I'll be on safe until I'm ready to fire.

I think he is asking if you will have safty on when you are on the feild but not in combat.

When travelling outside the wire, safety off, finger outside the trigger guard.

I also consider it important not sweaping my friends with my musle.

Well yeah, the safety should be on always when the guns not in use..

But the question being asked is when entering the fire zone where possible contacts may be engaged. Some would consider that "in use" but the questions is whether people have the safety clicked on until the moment they see an enemy combatant to switch it to semi/full auto.

Personally as soon as I leave the safe zone Im in either semi or full auto. Its happened a couple times with me also that I'd see an enemy and fail to take the shot as I forgot the safety on and I get killed in turn.

I think the poll should be locked before the pornbots show up.

Thanks for your reply guys. It seems its pretty 50/50 regarding this topic. I guess that once you get used to the fact that your safety IS on, you will always remember to switch it off before engaging the target. It really doesnt take any extra time...

Unless I am expecting some sort of contact any moment or if I am in the middle of a fire fight my gun is on safe. I found when I first starting playing that my finger would find the trigger too easily when hiking through the bush and several times I tripped and I actaully gave my position away by actually hitting the trigger and firing the gun at the ground or into the air.

I was one of the guys at claybank who fired about 1 mag total. The rest of the time mag not in the magwell, weapon hanging on sling.

Safety is on in safe zone with mag out. In game semi only, mag in and finger out of trigger guard at the START of the game....its a cqc place I play at so I have my finger on the trigger any other time when playing
