What do you do when you are pinned down?

[Xander]

Well me and my friends play in the woods and I was wondering what should I do if I get pinned down(when you are behind a bunker and a guy is waiting for you to move and he has his sites on you so if you move he has a shot on you)????

I would snap shoot from the other side of the bunker opposite of where he has his sights on you. If you do snap shoot, make sure it is from random spots. Do not keep popping up from the same spot time after time or even twice in a row. Goodluck.

oh yeah everone has been in this position
1.find out his pos.
2.if you cant peek out just enough so you can see just barely.
3.pop fast shoot 2 pop and so on

thanx for the suggestion I'll use them when I go playing tommorow! :D

call for backup:)


If you hear fire, and dont hear the splat on your bunker, more than likely hes getting shot at, and hes probably in the same position you were(pinned down) you gotta peek real quick, and if he is, you get a good shot(waiting for him, you took his spot, now you pinned him down) works well, just dont leave youe head out of the bunker, his teamates might get ya:)

If you're behind good cover, and they can only hit you if you snap out to shoot, I'd try a "strategic retreat" to find a better angle. This works well if you have someone in the bunker with you who can snap out and provide some "distraction" while you sneak off into the woods.

wut i do, i stick my barrel vertically in the air aboe the bunker. then i look up, and see where the paint is coming from. most likely they wont hit ur barrel, but on instinct, they'll shoot for it. if ur pinned, u might as well risk gettin ur barrel shot which most likely isnt. and then see the direction da paint is coming from, then, remember dat direction, and pop out from da side then snap a couple off, go to the other side, snapp a couple, then top, then side, etc, work the bunker. try to see where he is in the process.

pick up the bunker and run around

I know 2 days ago in a 4 vs 3 VIP game I was a bodyguard and my team was rocking them me and a teamate had 2 out of the 3 assains pinned down and our VIP was advancing. Then the 3rd assasin picked of my teamate who was pinning down one of the assasins, then I the formaly pinned down assasin got a lucky shot on me and then it was 3 on 2. They forced our VIP back into a bunker and then hit the bodyguard as he moved out to see were they were and moved and bunkered our VIP.

make them use all their paint and then go for them

keep sticking your gun up and down and they'll shoot at it. then they'll eventually expect to see just the gun, but instead look at start shooting.

I find that the best way to keep from getting pinned down is to fire from all different sides of the bunker. Also most people usually have some kind of reflex when they hear a paintball fired at them. Try shooting your gun at the back of your bunker or in a different direction or something. If that person hears the gun go off he may pop down for a second. That should give you enough time to pop out a side of the bunker and snap shoot, then you can keep HIM down.

i was in this situation but it was bad it was in the woods and the bunkers were really small so i had to lay flat and we were about 15 ft apart i couldnt do anything so i called for backup and then my backup ran up and they got shot and i was just siting there alone then eventually he kmicked my head

If he's shooting at you, and hitting your bunker, then stick out and shoot form the other side. If he's shooting at you and not hiting the bunker, the paint is flying by where you are going to pop out, stick out the other side and shoot. People have the reaction of protecting themselves when they are shot at. If you can pop out and shoot at your opponet (aimed fire), and not "cover up", you'll have a better chance of shooting him.

Look at pictures in paintball magazines that show two guys shooting at each other at close range. One is aiming and shooting and the other one is "curling" up protecting himself. I wonder if he was returning aimed fire would he have a chance of winning?
