A bit about marking "dead" players in airsoft

In Warsaw there is an agreement that a player that was hit by somebody is considered dead. For his own good he should mark himself properly, otherwise he can be mistaken with somebody alive and get shot again. It is also important for the gameplay, so the shooter will know that he shot him and he can find himself another target.

How the guy can identify himself as corpse? By rising his hand high enough and shouting "I'm dead" or by waving with a piece of red cloth. I wear the cloth on my helmet, makes no difference. On the right you can see how I look when I was hit.

Why I write about it? Because today one of my enemies shot me few times when I looked exactly like this. I have no idea what got into him, what thoughts shown in his empty mind. Of course I got so angry that I shot him with a series of BBs myself. He started to shout that I can't fire at him because I am dead. Of course he was right, but it was not him who killed me. After this I explained him with few short furious words what happened.

The guy is mentally handicapped. He shoots his teammates, cheats (doesn't feel hits or feels them but says that he wasn't hit) and now this.
