lardy mate, i have carried stretchers, even with a man at each corner, the average casualty is bloody heavy, thats why anti-personel mines are designed to maim not kill, one guy injured, but it takes four to carry him on a stretcher= five bods out of the frontline for a time. we would need a lot of orderlies.
Well it was meant semi jokingly; I'm just firing out ideas. I wouldn't really expect people to spend their time carrying people back and forth. Medics (or chaplins)could perhaps be used to assist them out of the way though.
To be honest, it doesn't matter if a player is laying down, sitting or standing on one leg waving a bandage about singing "I'm dead, I'm dead, get me a plaster!". There are a lot of numpties who still think they're at an open day and have a "shoot anything in front of you" mentality and that's why people like Tiny, Forester and my brother get lit up even when they are obviously out of the game. The CiA rule of "Don't be a cock" should cover this but, unfortunately it doesn't always work.
The only real answer is self policing. If one of your team mates is being a dick - TELL THEM! I've done this several times and, while it doesn't win you any popularity prizes, it can defuse a situation before it happens and frankly, if it offends someone, they should go back to open days . Also, some people just need to switch on a bit. If a player is standing in the open (or sitting, etc!), with his arm in the air, it's pretty obvious he's a non combatant. Also, the same people need to realise we're playing "grown up" airsoft and there's no need to empty a magazine into every target or shoot for the face at close range, this is how tempers get frayed and people get smacked.
At the Gulch game this weekend I got shot fair and square,.... I stood where I was shot (Would have lay down but I was in a bramble patch) put down my gun hand had both my hands on my head in a sorta captured sense,.... I got shot by a German on Full auto from the cover of a tank, to which i replied "WHY ARE YOU SHOOTING AT ME" to which he replied "YOU'RE IN THE WAY" I took a look behind me and there was clearly nobody there, and I was on the side of a hill, so somebody behind me would have been higher up? But the guy was a young lad and a fecking wincle who clearly had "open day" on the brain!

Deep breaths Webby, and count to ten.
I generally managed to go 'argh', swear and lie down dead but was too surprised when ambushed during our tea break to remember so stood there with my hands up like a fool...
I wasn't shot again, but the stone cold look on Steiner's face made me want him to know I had surrendered, and not take any chances. ![]()
I'll go with Petes description, could post so much more, but I'd be censored
