Hit Takers Home About Us

About Us

Our VisionHit Takers is a group made up of those who have been invited by Elite Action Games to play in specific high awareness organised games.The idea is simple Airsoft played properly, no messing about, one bb equals one "hit". Not a difficult concept, but it would appear not the normal either.All players are chosen or vouched for in order to join Hit Takers.Any player not adhering to the rules will be ejected from the game and will be removed from the Hit Takers group.Isn't this how it should be at every Airsoft game? Well you would think so, but we are very careful who comes to these events and it shows with the "one ball kill" being the average at these games and the quality of game play.We ask that all players read and understand the rules and abide by them and it works. So much so that Airsoft International want to be part of these events. All games will be limited Ammo, organised teams and camo. Target acquisition is made easier and there are no rental or two tone guns.In short it is Airsoft but how it always should have been.John ClancyElite Action Airsoft

The Team

John | Founder - Elite Action Games Hit Takers

John's initial involvement in Airsoft was about 7-8 years ago, playing at Elite Action Games Epsom. Probably not the most gentle of introductions as CQB tunnel fighting is about as hard core as it gets. Initially he was just another regular face and over time got more involved in the club as he is a strong believer in what you take out you must put back in. He stated the Tunnel Rats in 2004 which have grown from strength to strength and are now fifty players strong. In 2006 the sport was under attack from the VCR act, he was asked to get involved in the ABA as a player representative to help fight the Home Office over their plans to make the sale of RIFs illegal. Together with the Airsoft community, the ABA was successful in securing a defence for Airsoft in the UK. In 2007 he started EAG Dorking with Tom Andrews, which was recently awarded five stars in Airsoft International and has been credited as being one of the best sites in the south of England. In addition to this he also took over the running of EAG Epsom and have revamped the site changing the layout and introducing additional scenarios. In 2008 he created Hit Takers, which are elitist games for honest players, these have proved to be a huge success, with the players now having more involvement in game design, locations, props and scenarios. Typically these days are played on military bases or are privately rented Airsoft sites. To date we have played multiple days at Longmoor, Bramley, UCAP, Dorking, Epsom, the Mall and Copehill down. Aside from Hit Takers, John's latest venture has been the running of Tour of Duty events (Vietnam thmed events in association with AI) to date he has run three dates all of which were successful and great fun, according to the player feedback. He has plans for a fourth date in 2011 . At Elite Action Games we like to set a few Booby Traps and enjoy doing the Pyro shows. Be careful where you tread. :)

Natasha Turner | Desert Team Leader

Tash recently took over the running of the Tunnel Rats. She has been playing Airsoft for three years and has been one of the more vocal players in the team, making her an obvious choice to take over, run a section and be the primary "in Battle" contact. She is a regular marshal at Elite Action Games Dorking site and has played and attended a great many airsoft games and sites. As well as being a primary organiser, Tash has also attended every Hit Takers event.

Steve Cromwell | Green Team Leader

Steve co-founded the Epsom Urban Rats, he has also been instrumental in the training and organisation of the team. Currently running one of the sections, whilst being the primary "in battle" contact and a regular at Epsom. Steve took over the green team last year after Longmoor. Since that time he has worked closely with John Organising them into a fighting unit which clearly won at Copehill and only just lost at the Mall in 2010. It is clear that the green team are no longer a walk over and have become a force to be reckoned with.

Greens GreensThe Green team is as it says well.....green. though not as in inexperieced, no, the green part is simple, it refers directly to the uniform to worn. Hit Takers sides are differentiated by the basic uniform colours they wear, Rigs on top of these are unaffected by the rules as these obviously cost a lot and are customised how you like them.So, what is Green team uniform?Firstly lets start with what isnt - Multicam cannot be worn by the green team as it causes confusion in game.What is acceptable (some examples below but any green uniform is useable)- British Woodland DPM- US Woodland BDU- European / Eastern block / Russian / South American Woodland and Jungle- Black kit
greens 6

Deserts DesertsSo you are thinking of joining or have been assigned to the Desert Team huh?The Deserts aren't called it because of their dry sense of humour (everyone at Hit Takers is a sarcastic bastard) or wonderous sun tans, no, like the Greens it refers to the uniform.All members of the Desert Team are required to wear Desert camo / Tan uniform, like the Greens any Rigs can be worn but the underlying uniform must be as above. Some examples ar e listed below.- British Desert DPM- US Tri colour- US Choc Chip- Desert Marpat

Rules

The Rules

Protective Wear & SafetyWearing full face protection is recommended, you play at your own risk. Avoid Face shots where possible, always target the arms, legs and torso in preference to the face, if all you have is a face shot then take it at your own discretion. Helmets are recommended.Be careful out there, this sport can be dangerous if you are careless or stupid with yours and other peoples safety.FPSRemember when firing AEGs and pistols if they are held level it is normally at someones face.No AEGs over 350FPS, bolt action Snipers 500fps (30 yard minimum engagement), both with a 0.20.Safe ShootingNo blind firing, using sights is safer and accuracy will improve. Key hole shooting is not allowed. This is when a player fires their weapon through a hole that is less than 12s. Firing through cracks, partially opened windows is not acceptable.Semi automatic fire at close range. No spray and pray be deliberate in your actions, close range is inside 10 yards, or in a building. Anyone firing fully automatic at another person in the same building has just killed themselves and must go to regen.Do not shoot the dead or marshals, if you check you targets it will not happen.Sportsmanship & ConductCongratulate good shots, it improves sportsman ship and the attitude of the day.Airsoft is an adult sport try and keep profanity to a minimum, dont call people names as this is where most arguments start.Dont scream take your hits, you are probably missing, if you suspected someone of cheating report it to marshals, but give as good a description as possible not its the guy in green or desert. Any cheating will result in expulsion from the site, no refunds and said player will not be invited to any further games. Please remember that in this sport it only matters how you play, not the other people as your play is the thing that keeps you on the site.Marshals have final say.Hit TakingHit taking is the most important thing. Any part of your body, clothing, rig, helmets counts as a hit. If unsure declare, if you think how did they miss? They probably didnt. Only gun hits and ricochets dont count, but if your rifle is taking repeated hit then declare and put your hand up. If you both shoot each other, you are both hit. Should someone fire after being hit (seconds later) point it out and declare a late shot, but both players must agree, or you both walk.Gun HitIf your rifle is hit call Gun Hit and transition to your secondary weapon or switch to semi.Dead RuleThe dead do not talk, nor do they move when calling for medic or give signals as to wear they were shot from.GrenadesKills count as follows out doors two meter radius, in building two meter radius. Only exception is behind hard cover which must be brick or wood. Another player does not count. Call grenade to give fellow players warning.No MK9 grenades and no 12 gauge blanks, do not pick up any BFGs, leave them where they lie for the owner to retrieve.No throwing heavy metal smoke grenades.Bang Kills or Surrender A bang kill is when you (gently) press a weapon into someone or call for their surrender. Walking into a room and declaring 10 bang kill does not work. In that instance fire on semi or expect to be shot.Site RespectNo climbing on roofs or upper floors unless there are stairs.Any player caught damaging the site or urinating in buildings will be made to clean up or pay for damages.Windows and doors are not to be touched if they have been locked open or shut.No climbing on roofs, ladders or wallsManholes and tunnels system are out of bounds.Only indicated buildings are to be used during the event.BasicsPlease be ready to play, load mags immediately after game end, then swap war stories.Take bbs, speed loader, gas and water in a pack or on your person.Please be prompt and pay attention at briefings as they will not be repeated and you may be excluded from the game.Unless stated any team can flank the other team or let them pass and shoot them in the arse!!If a game is reversed and you are aware of the next objective, dont try and be smart and take it out early. Please remember that in a real situation you would no be aware of the enemys plans and thus would not know. This is cheating in other words. Lastly, we all do this for fun, not to dish it out. Lets enjoy our day.Medic RulesWhen a player is shot call Hit and stand up with your arm raised.The player has one additional medic life, Whilst waiting for a medic they are not allowed to talk other than to call for a medic.You may shake or nod your head to let team mates know that it is unsafe to reach you but can not give signals of where the opposing team are.The dead can elect to call for a medic, this can be any member of their team or elect to bleed out, the bleed out time limit is 5 minutes, but should a player decide that they are unreachable or in such a position that they are uneasy about taking further hits they can elect to walk, at this point call Bleeding Out. They can go to one of the three regen points At this time they may untie a bandage on their own arm call back in. This rule should not be abused it is mealy in place to get you back in to fight if you are left behind or unreachable. Under no circumstances are players calling for a medic allowed to move closer to their team but they may move away from direct fire (door ways, rooms) if they do move and find they are closer to team members they must wait till the area is secure or bleed out. When trying to Medic a player you are allowed to grab them and move them to a safe location but it must be within 20 yards.To medic a player the team member, you must tie the white bandage on the players arm. If a player has been shot already the next bandage must be put on the other arm.Once complete the medic player is there able to continue play by shouting back in. Should the medic be shot whilst trying to medic his team member, both players are then out of play.Once all your lives are used up you need to find a building which is occupied by your team or walk away from the battle for 100 yards or go to the regen point.Any player wishing to leave the game (change battery, out of ammo or knackered) can do so by raising your gun above your head and calling dead man walking. This can not be used to flank or gain any tactical advantage. To re-enter you must rejoin the mass of your team or go to the next objective, you may not re-enter behind the opposing team.Ammo limits 600 Rounds per life (1800 for support gunner, but it must be a support weapon not a box mags on an M4 etc).You may carry more than that into the gaming area, additional mags, ammo and speed loaders must in a back pack or butt bag, not carried in your front pouches. Pistol mags, Moscarts are not included in the ammunition count, but we dont want to see any bandoliers for pistol mags. When you run out of rounds you may beg ammo from team mates but you are using their allocation up. If you cannot beg ammo then you are combat ineffective and thus must go to regen.
