If it was laying there and you quickly grabbed and used it straight away to get a few shots off in the heat of the moment most people would probably be cool with it, but it'd be very situational (and you really need to be at least acquainted with the person and what kind of attitude they'd have).

It very rare that it'd come up anyway though as once they are dead, they are generally going to be walking off to the re spawn and will want their gun back to do so (and most likely still have it in sling/holster/hand).

Main exception is when something like medic rules are in play and people have to sit down and wait to be revived. If you can camp a downed enemy & ask nicely you might well get away with it. But it'd be very poor etiquette not to at least ask them. Most these guns are £2-300+ (some pushing 1k) and quite precious to people so you wouldn't appreciate some randomer you know nothing about grabbing it and going rambo.

At a small close knit site it does happen, less so at a bigger less personal one. I'd be a bit fucked off if someone I didn't know grabbed one of mine and started using it, but depends on the situation and their attitude to it.

As for a battery, only if they expressly offered, very unlikely unless you know them and they are carrying a spare compattible with yours. Realistically you just treat it as a catastrophic weapon jam and get on with it. (there will be spare batts back at base). A lot of people are using Gas powered rifles now also which adds to the logistical problems with that.

But as you saw, at that range his pistol did a perfectly serviceable job anyway! (I often switch to pistol in buildings anyway, much more weildy)

Quantumushroom, a mushroom you love to hate and hate to hate

I picture a snake like character slithering under his desk, in his one room apartment, rubbing his hands, chugging his mountain dew, making love to his dick cheney doll. What a guy.

I think his submissions were inappropriate but he really only gets attention when he says/does crazy things. We pay little attention when he tries to share his interests.

Yes, it's all fun and games when your not the one being siftquistioned, it's good to see he at least emailed Dag, but not showing up for your own SQ is poor etiquette.

And that the end of the day isn't what QM did just an example of poor community etiquette, Downvoting a persons queue (picture it, picture gollum here guzzing his dew at 1am downvoting a queue, it's sad) It's not the type of character you want sharing your community, I wouldn't want a neighbour who shits on my lawn everytime I plant flowers.

Obviously QM has some social problems, this is the Internet, and the sift is a community full of people with entirely different backgrounds and reasons for using this website. What QM did was done in poor taste and the Siftquisition is well justified.

Everybody should read QM's email to Dag, because that is the closest we will get to performing an autopsy on this troll. After reading it I simply think QM doesn't understand exactly how this web community runs, he thinks he can come on here and use the site with the tools he is provided in any way he wants.

QM probably is on the payroll of some right wing lobby group, one of many sock puppetting liberal communities to keep them from having civilized conversations, you can find them commenting on my AOL blog 24/7 Web 2.0 is slowly drowning out these trolls and they are becoming more and more extinct.

Thank God

Obviously that was not supposed to be sent to you.
