Kicking mustang makes fake hit markersm mag dumpsm into people throws grenades at Newbies, and most importantly doxes people for calling him out, It's not the headshots are the problem.

I love how players act like an adult when they first don their Special Forums Division Operator uniform, and then cry liken a child when they get shot. Seems like the same type of people that "almost joined the military" and then go about telling people how tacticool they are.

Eh, if you are banned from multiple sites, there must be more to the story than just headshots happening. Everyone takes and receives headshots. If one person is that controversial, it isn't the headshots that are the problem.

I go for headshots when i know that the enemy won’t call their hits to the body, either due to cheating or not feeling it . Great Video.

Well said! To share a quick story... I just tried speedsoft at an indoor field with no engagement limit. I got shot in the face mask point blank an inch from my head. It dented my mask and gave me a nice bloody nose. I simple said to myself, hey this isn’t for me and left the indoor field and went back to playing outdoors. No harm no foul. (By the way the guy that shot me in the face was sorry and apologized) but ultimately it was my fault for not wearing better gear. Thanks for the video. I think this it’s spot on.

I've watched a few of his videos but didn't like his attitude. If you're out to deliberately hurt people, as he seems to be, then you're an idiot. I've seen him shoot people in the face when he could easily have gone for a body shot. At the end of the day most people playing airsoft are out to have fun. Not cool.

2 years later and he has a price for a guy's personal info due to creating the airsoft fields ban list.

Jester here. I met mustang last month at anzio with names nicco and mustangs first shot was myself and it hit me in the jaw yes it hurt like **** but hey thats airsoft. Dont like it quit playing and play chess

Great video, our site rules around headshots are pretty simple. We are allowed to go for headshots but if there is a different part of the body showing, don't go for the head. If the head is the only thing you can see, go for it. Most people are pretty chill at my field about it, I was in this one sniper peekaboo with someone, and I shot him right on the chin, were now friends because of it lol

you forgot one main reason why snipers aim for the head, they may not feel it. i shot one guy wearing a hoodie in the arm he just looked at it as if to go what was that, I had to shout across the field "yes that was a hit!!!" for him to realise/take it

Short answer: Nah. It's the community I feel that needs to man up. I've met the guy here in Austria, he's a pleasure to be around and is also great to play with.

I'm so glad this isn't an issue in the United States everyone aims for the head and everyone knows it headshots are crispy and fun

Fairly difficult to get banned by one, but it can happen. When you're up to DOZENS of fields it's fairly obvious what the issue is.

He's banned on 48+ fields. And he also doxxed and stalked people (including minors) and so much more.

Here we go again so is anyone saying that if he ran up and fullautoed you in the head at 10m would you all be ok with that because that’s what he does it’s not just sniping headshots (that’s fair play wind and all that bollocks play apart) he’s banned from 90% of sites in the U.K. for a reason and it goes a lot deeper than headshots how about stealing information and claiming it as your own (sniper ops)

I think the reason why people especially don’t like him because there are videos where he specifically aims for parts of the head that aren’t covered by pieces of gear

If the head is all you can see ...... take the shot . If you have full view of your target then shoot lower . That being said all the variables once the bb has left the barrel it can land anywhere . Its airsoft have fun .

Kicking Mustang also likes to shoot people in the balls without a second thought at Point blank range.

i was on a site from where he apparently started and even the marshals didn't like him , from disrespectful behavior to cheating and ofc unnecessarily head shots

Considering that I have full face protection and no body armour, I much prefer to get shot in the face because I can’t feel it

I think 1 or 2 times is ok. Intentionally going for headshots for your own satisfaction is a bit annoying and the sniper should have a little more respect but at the end of the day you can just shake it off. When someone shoots me in the head I am fine and I just man up. I am not gonna we’re a helmet so I don’t have the right to complain.

I see plenty of great comments about personal protective equipment (PPE). I, however, would like to touch on the subject of field owners and field marshalls or admins. If you have an airsoft community that seems to complain a lot about headshots, then some education and guidelines should be set in place. Make rules about wearing PPE. I personally feel this should be on the player but, in the event that common sense is replaced by toxicity, the field owner and admins should place restrictions enforcing PPE. I know that at my local fields anyone under the age of 18 is required to wear full-face protection. Full sealing, ballistic eye protection is required for all ages. These are field rules and are strictly enforced. I think, that field owners, should places rules rather than ban specific players. This would save field admins/ owners time and effort as well as removing toxic elements. This video was stellar and spot on. Thank you so much for the great content.

He shot someone in the face and knocked his teeth out with an 'Oh dear' in the commentary. Hopefully he'll get booted off all the fields in the land and his income will dry up. He fakes his hit shots as well.

I totally agree with you man.. I play as a sniper too in an airsoft game and sometimes even if you don't aim for the head it goes for the head accidentally.. and you are right with what you said that when you go to an airsoft game you give them permission to give you pain.. I'm sharing this video 😀👍

People who only stick their heads out and complain when I shoot them literally need to go play with their friends in a backyard, and step off public fields. There's only two times you can complain about being shot in a game where the whole point is to shoot people. One, when you're dead. And two, when you're especially dead and they keep over shooting you. If you're alive and you get shot ANYWHERE and cry, please just stop playing. I wear goggles only. If you're that type of person get a full face cover and then stop crying. I would rather eat a BB to the face than to the knuckles. ANY. DAY.

it's like banning scoring in the top bins in football

its like doing MMA and moaning about getting hit back

“Ps. If anybody knows Lincolnshire Airsoft Club Employee Jack Wastnidge’s contact details, would you please forward them to me” -Kickingmustang, _The curious case of Alex Belfield and my experience with airsoft trolls…_ September 27th, 2022.

Great video...started playing in March to get some dad and son time in with my oldest so fairly new to the sport. I find KM entertaining... I think your right though... you're signing up to a sport where you're going to be shot... headshots or any shots for that matter are part and parcel of the game! There's also the aspect that KM is a content creator and draws a lot of new players to the game, for every head shot he makes there could be 3 or 4 (or shit knows how many) mundane shots that just aren't clip worthy. Fact is... to watch... headsets are just far more entertaining 🤣 . Noticing your Dirty Dog patch on the wall!! Me and my son have just became members... brilliant site!

Personally as a sniper, I feel like if you can hit the body aim for it. Otherwise you are just being a jerk.

I don't think kickingmustang is wrong for the headshots. It is airsoft after all, you pay money to get shot. On the other hand, he's been banned from 30+ fields, which leads people to believe that he's not following the rules of the field. Regardless of how you feel about the rules, players should always follow them. If you don't like the rules, don't play on the field and go somewhere else.

Kicking Mustang doesnt even aim for heads for the most part. It is his overlay on his videos that makes it look like he is doing it on purpose. Seen some of his shots go for the chest and well veer up and boom head shot. Can control a bb after it leaves the berral

Short answer: yes

Most people complaining about him aren't wearing proper protection and it's their own fault. One guy and I think he got James banned from the field, actually had a mask and wasn't wearing it.

Totally agree with you on all points .had my bell rang a few times but it was all I was showing wear full head ,face pro protect my neckline too.😁😁keep the content coming stay well stay safe all the best from Scotland

Thanks for this video. I agree, players should wear full face protection. If you don't its not someone else problem if you get shot in the face or head. I recently started play with the mesh mask and i do not get my accurate shots in as i did before but at lease i have no medical bills or complain about face shots.

Great points and very well articulated mate, gained a subscriber from me👍🏼. Really enjoyed this podcast style video, have you thought about bringing fellow airsofters in for an airsoft related conversation/discussion for episodes of your podcast? Kind of like the Joe Rogan Experience but airsoft😁

Simple answer:yes

These people crying about headshots really need to grow up. They might try watching the channel "Dutch the Hooligan". These are closed course and snipers really are not effective there. But headshots are very effective there and happen all the time. The nice thing is you just don't hear anyone complain about it. Oh and they pretty much all have good protective gear on. As a sniper the headshot is the shot of choice due to the psychological impact. Grow up, play the game, or move on.

don't care about headshot but i hate spawn killers

Don't like headshots? Wear a helmet. This isn't complicated.

I know I'm late but when I first played airsoft and faced a sniper I got domed over 12 times that game it ispired me so much to get better and just felt so impressed how good he is

Going for headshots doesn't make you a D``head but: Using your sniper on someone thats 15 steps from you is a bit unwanted. And full auto emptying a mag of your pistol on someone for any reason is a bit to much. What makes him a D``head for me is placing hit markers on people he didnt even hit.

How about James been banned for repeat cheating? For example swapping his spring during game shooting in to spawn at dead players shooting within the med going out of bounds

Great Vid im looking at starting airsoft in the UK this year and have watched many vids on this subject, i cant understand why people moan about this, when i do play i going into it to kill or be killed, i would never consider playing without full face protection and im not sure why sites dont insist on this.

Head shots happen all the time in airsoft, for many reasons, examples ricochet definition, auto burst, random shots, the big one.. if the only target you are presenting is your head. with that being said if you don't like being shot in the head wear face and neck protection. if you're not taking the first shots then expect to be shot in the head. nice commentary Grizle

I snipe and its crazy how little people complain about me shooting them in the head i get praise more than anything, or as of yet shall i say, now i don't always aim for the head that's not what i'm saying, but feel it's a little unfair on mustang because every sniper has gone for the head maybe more than others, but i feel because he has a little following and more people see his stuff and probably see themselves getting domed in the head on KZfaq they don't like it, and it's snowballed in to a hate fest which is just sad, i used to get shot in the head without full face and it hurt obviously so what do i do now? i wear full face, now i can get shot get up and say, good shot! because it didn't hurt and can respect the shot they made rather than getting upset because it hurt... now why should i choose not to shoot you in the head because you choose not to wear full face, i try not too anyway but sometimes it's simply unavoidable, and targeting one sniper (mustang) for head shots is ridiculous, every sniper has done it intentionally and unintentionally for different reasons. all this gives snipers a bad name.. it's airsoft play how you like we're there to shoot each other, the head is part of the body so it will get shot, even if it's an accident once the bb leaves the barrel anything can happen, hitting leaves/twigs, the wind all change its trajectory path.

Given that I've literally seen a guy get knocked out with a bb to the temple, I think headshots should be discouraged unless it's absolutely necessary *inb4 people say - he was wearing full goggles and a mesh mask, freak shot but they happen*. Example, I was playing a long game with my BAR kinda as a counter-sniper and needed up battling the other team's snipers most of the day. I go for body shots all day - because the body was an available target. However near the end one of the enemy team was prone in a bush looking down the scope at me, with only his head visible, taking shots at my team. I shot him in the head, it hit him, drew blood all over his goggles. After the game he came over and I apologised for the HS but explained it was the only target I had whilst he was shooting back at me, waiting for a target wasn't an option. Guy took it like a champ and said cracking shot, my own fault for not wearing face Protection! TLDR: Don't aim for the head on purpose, but don't bitch if you get shot in the head. Also, kicking mustang gets a bad rep mainly for cheating, magdumping people at close range, breaking/bending the rules... I think deliberate headshots are just a small part of his reputation.

I remember years ago playing airsoft against the raf regiment when I was in the ATC anyone who winged about headshots got called a wimp, what happened? Ive been fortunate to play on fields where they have been fine with headshots plus I find as a sniper the googles and ghillie suit take the speed out of the bb.

tbh i play airsoft because i love the pain of being shot is more of an adrenaline rush

I go for the biggest available target and fully expect others to do the same. Often that target is the head especially if they are taking cover

Most fields I play here in NZ full face protection mandatory. I find fecking fingers are worst place to be hit. I hate being full auto’d by some jag off point blank. That’s what make me not want to play some fields

I used to frame houses in Texas. We would have occasional nailgun fights. All in good fun. But there was a go-for on the crew that played college baseball. He never had a nail gun, but could throw hand drive nails just as fast. He would peek his head up behind plywood stack [without safety glasses] and throw nails at my back. I had to tell him he needs to wear glasses, because I wouldn't start fights, but would return fire. He had to know a lost eye would ultimately be his own fault. He stopped the random attacks and to this day, he has both of his eyes. Long story short... If you are simulating a gunfight, protect the parts of your body that you don't want to get hit. I will shoot you in the ear if it's the only shot I have. Great video. I apologize for yesterday's comment.

Well said. This guy is pure gold!!!

Great video, pal) Cheers from Mother Russia 🤣 We play up to 3 joules and don’t complain for headshots 🤷🏻‍♂️ And let’s be honest, even if aim in the chest, come on, it’s not a real gun, bbs are light enough . There is a wind and other different obstacles that slightly change the trajectory of the shot🤷🏻‍♂️

The ideology is on point. Very logical and true. Nice vid bro👌

Headshots are part of the risk of playing of course. I do no know this KM guy but on balance of evidence, 'there is no smoke without fire' comes to mind

in the field where i play at, facepro is optional when you are 18 and up. headshots aren't that bad unless the sniper doesn't follow their allotted M.E.D.'s.

The entire point of airsoft is to shoot people and get shot by people I am a sniper in las vegas out here we have a simple code of conduct I shoot what I see if all u give me is ur forehead well im laying one in there secondly alot of times because of how far I am from my targets they don't always feel the first hit so I am more often than not forced into searching for tender spots to shoot to guarantee you feel the hit

well said 👍🏽 if you don't like to get shot in the head... Go play laser tag

Ahah love this can’t wait to get back into Killhouse in two weeks time 🤙🏼

If mustang did not made videos i am sure there would have been less complaints. He would just be another sniper/player on the field.

The problem arises when the person doesn't have their ears and eyes covered. Hell, BBs can still slip passes glasses. The same people who say "just get more armor lol" are the same people who tell women they're asking for it.

Minority? xDDD And no, stop lying. He's not banned for one reason and one reason only: headshots. He's banned for violence, cheating, drama inducing, AND dangerous practices like intentional headshots / ballshots, revenge shots, not respecting MED, etc.

Why shoot in the head ? 1. The head is the only bit sticking out 2. You already shot them in the body and they didn't acknowledge the hit

I see a lot of players clueless with very basic equipment in Mustang's videos. And I think: "ok, that's not fair, shouldn't they be in a different league?" But I'm sure these players are a great source of revenue $$$!

I am unsure if you make a good point here. Kicking Mustang is not a D***head since he fulfill his role as sniper. The role of a sniper is it to inflict as much pain as possible, by using headshots, to make the enemy time submit and not advance anymore. Also don't come back to his spot anymore or only by flanking. I am not sure if this type of role description is good for airsoft as a hobby/sport. I still have the feeling that most people go to airsoft for fun which this does not sound except you are a masochist. About the discussion of headshots. I don't see a useful point there. If you could make a rule that says no headshots, then you could also say: "You don't need to wear safety googles." And I am sure that we all agree why no safety googles would be a bad idea. So headshots will be always around, intentional or accidental and you have to deal with it. Be it with protection gear or by handling the pain. For the snipers that say. "I aim for the head because otherwise they don't call the hit." My personal opinion is: Going on an airsoft field and seeing every other player as a cheater that don't call hits doesn't seem like a good attitude for a "gentleman" sport. Or not sport / hobby at all. And sure that goes in both direction so also for the players that say. "All Snipers always intentionally aim for the head." This both things sound like they create the toxic atmosphere in the community. A tip for everyone that come on a field which has a "no headshot" rule. Ask if that means you can take your safety googles off. I am sure the owner will then explain the players that headshots can still happen which should limit the complains at least a little. And if the owner says "Yes you can take of your googles"... .. ... you should run and not play there ;).

As always, top notch airsoft content aside gameplay

What a surprise Blocked.

The reason he goes for the head is very simple.... Views headshots are more impressive he can easily hit elsewhere he chooses not to and records it.

As a counter strike player I thought you were supposed to go for headshots 😅

Totally agree with this

The way I see it in airsoft is, the whole of your body is a target including the head, because of this I wear full face and head protection, if you don't wear the protection then don't cry when you get shot in the head, it's your own fault, we are all accountable for what happens to us.

Kicking Mustang is not the only sniper playing that way and all the people who are complaining are playing airsoft without the proper protections and this is well documented on youtube. Question should be, headshot on a player not properly protected is fair? DEPENDS. Someone who is complaining but is not respecting rules is acceptable? NO In conclusion, KM is playing his style within the airsoft game rules, so for me he is respectable. Marshals have to kick from the battlefield or not let them access the BF those who are not wearing protections

Kickingmustang was actually in the army and he was trained to be a sniper so yeah thats why he does headshots

If only there was protection for the head...

If you swim with sharks, you may be bitten. Why not be prepared just in case? Wear head gear guys cmon. Or go play laser tag.

I go for headshots only if i cant shoot anything else. Also body is easier to shoot the head following the size.

bb variable flights and intentionally aiming for the head are totally different things. so, only snipers are allowed to do headshots or open to everyone?

As a airsoft sniper people who get hit in the head are more likely to call the hit then if they get hit in the plate carrier

I've taken more shots to the face than a bukkake actress. It doesn't hurt any more than being hit anywhere else. Then again, I wear face pro, and have a shemagh loosely wrapped around my neck, also for protection. Take precautions, kids.

Is the killhouse closed??

Bottom line if you dnt like getting shot this sport ain’t got you Nice vid mate 💪🏻

I played AS many years ago and life got in the way. Looking to get back in and so far I'm going through so many vids it's ridiculous. I'm on the side of 'headshots when necessary'. IMO, if you don't feel it or don't call it, you're getting a headshot next. The problem IMO is armour. If it were up to me I'd call All Amour Off. Yeah, it looks realistic and all but we're playing a game. It's not about looking the part it's about playing the game and playing it honestly and honourably. Armour gets in the way of feeling the shot. So what do people do, they up the power on the guns. And what's with people not wearing proper face protection???

Well said sir

Don't play if you can't take a hit

Every sport has its injuries headshots shouldn’t be a debate in my opinion allow it very simple Therefor wear face pro but yes if someone is doing it out of spite then they should be given a warning etc

I would sooner get shot in the head by a sniper than get laced in the head from 3 feet away from some trigger spamming speed softer

love Kicking Mustang. He exposes pu**ys. I play airsoft and I wear protective gear and for me I'm all good with headshots. Keep it up Mustang.

Well you've all ready got two spot on site patchs 😎

I haven't seen every Kicking Mustang video, but in the ones I've seen there is a pattern to his headshots, and it is that almost all of them could have been shot to other body parts. So, based on your words, he IS a dickhead, since he chooses to hit people in the head. I've been shot in the chest, arms and legs by snipers, or even regular people that are well hidden, and the fear effect that it provokes is the same, I don't need to be shot in the head to think "well, there's no way I'm going again that way"... so sorry, in this one, I have to disagree

Totally 100% agree. I got shot in the head by a sniper once, it hurt. Next time I played a wore a helmet. People that complain about getting shot in airsoft are not taking the right precautions for their own comfort and safety in the sport. So many times I have shot people in the face and caused another player pain and in some cases injury. While for most part not intentional I have to remined myself that its what they signed up for and they made that choice to not wear the gear that prevents them getting hurt and complaining. 🤔

Ja du hast vollkommen recht! Wenn man ständig den kopf raushält dann gibts einen headshot. So einfach ist das. Bin ich vollkommen deiner Meinung 👍👍

Snipers I feel in airsoft are far better suited in a milsim game. Although all players should be able to conduct CTR if their fieldcraft is decent enough.

I second that motion

Given the accuracy of air soft guns and the fact that that one has signed up to play a “game” in which people shoot each other I find the question of head shots hypocritical. Wear the right safety gear - whether it be a full mask (i.e. paintball mask) or eye pro w/ mesh mask and ear protection - and this is not an issue.

Its airsoft, if you dont wear face pro and cry when getting hit by a BB, go play nerf....youre gonna get hit at some point, if you get lit up point blank i can understand getting annoyed, but if you get hit by a sniper from 100m plus then you cant complain because BBs dont travel straight and are affected by wind, humidity, all the way down to whether your piston isnt providing the proper compression and the BB doesnt have enough force to fly straight before it is affected by all the variables

If you are playing at a site with particular rules, you should respect those rules.

I think people that complain about headshots should grow up. Wear protective gear and no problem. Protection should be required on all fields. Secondly if people would call the first shot then maybe a headshot not be needed.

Honestly, people get shot in the face and head in competition more than anyone else in the game. People are responsible for their own protection, they signed the weavers and all that crap. Just because people dont have the common sense that being shot in the cheeks or mouth or anywhere in the head, it shouldnt be mine nor anyone elses responsibility and concearn but that players. Besides, the amount of times you see sniper videos where the target gets shot in the vest or he is far away and despite the bb hitting the arms or legs they dont feel it cause the bb doesnt carry enough power to transfer it ocer clothes and other protective gear is quite high, so why not going for a place where the target will not have an excuse and just get a respawn? Honestly... people that wear those "balistic" glasses (which should only be used in target shooting or sides of airsoft that dont envolve activelly getting shot by other people, in my opinion) are the most ridiculous.. i dont even know how those are allowed. The amount of times ive seen really close calls with them glasses is stupidly high. Get better protection and be responsible for your own safety.. dont like being shot in the face? Get a mesh to protect your mouth and cheeks! Dont like being shot in the neck, wear a scarf or something... dont like being scalped? Shit, wear a cap/beanie/helmet... but stop being stupid and complaining about something that should be your responsibility. As far as KM goes, i have no clue xP never interacted with the man and i probably never will but considering what i said above, his videos seem totally fine to me.
