Back Players Only

[R.U-A.S.S Rocks]

What kind of guns do you use and other equipment to give people an idea of what kind of gun and or equipment is available

[PolicarStudios]

My friend uses an emag, 88/4500 max flow, egg2 and a freak. With no drop the thing is gigantic (I couldn't use it too well), but with the reactive trigger of an emag (hybrid mode!) I've never seen a marker more suited for cover fire or cutting people down.

[nnn]

We have 4 back players on my team and they have 1 GZ timmy,1 classic timmy,1 eclipse shocker, and 1 eclipse e-blade autococker.

[ncpaintballkid]

Back player on my team shoots a 2k2 right feed cocker with hinge, shockteck 3 way, black magic inline reg, j&j ceramic, revvy, and air america me'lee 88/3k.

The other one has a tippy but is looking at getting a cocker or evil omen.

[willybob]

Well., I play all over the field (depends on who we're playing) but I am best at back. I shoot a Logic Nasty Impulse and a 2k3 cocker with orracle 3-way and no grips (Feels better without them) and a red flame trigger.

[paintballdiablo]

I use the Timmy in my sig. Accurate, and fast as hell.

[tippyman182]

ya most of the people on my team use timmy's and if ur a back player u gotta use a big stubby tank like the mac dev 91/45 almost the same size of a 68 except fatter.

[suddenpaint]

i play back a lot and i shoot an imp..

[Jeffo2448]

RAT Impulse

[Excalibur]

One of my Team mates Shoots a Spyder Flash LCD With14'' System X Barrel, Check it Flat trigger, 50* X Chamber w/ gauge, Check It Drop, Crossfire 68ci 3000psi,Evo2, Java High Rise. And I mostly Play Mid with my M3 BD. Not Really High end electros but most likely we'll be able to take out some one with a timmy, angel, cocker etc....

[krip]

I shoot a Spyder E-99, Ricochet AK, PMI Reg, Macroline, 16 inch AA 2k2 with Freak Front, Shocktech spring kit, Dead On Uni Drop. And my friend shoots a stock Spyder TL Plus lol:crazy: .

[Paintball_Playa]

I play back all the time and I shoot a B2K3. With the PDS it's officially "fast as hell" and doesn't chop a ball.

[Halliday]

I play back often, and use a No-rise Mag.
Another guy on my team plays back too, he uses a Minimag.
:)

[denraytay]

shocker I just got mine is shoots so far so accurate. And it isn't that slow

[suddenpaint]

i have to agree. a shocker with a dome switch is da BOMB...and then put on of the those air asssist feed mods...ooh...that is nice...

[crey23]

I shoot the gun on my sig. I'm a pretty big guys so I can't hide effectively on the snake or any single barrel Bunker. :|

I will soon be getting a Titanium Hammer and Maddman rocket valve. I'm hopping that the lighter hammer, will reduce the amount of kick that i currently get from my setup.

Trigger is about 1.5 mm

Cheers

[Zombie472]

I play back most of the time, and I shoot the gun in my sig. mmmm...2mm trigger pull

amen to that.

just wait until the xmags are on the market. those things are DAMN light. they weigh about as much as a spyder (no tank or hopper on both guns).

[crey23]

Actually RUASS I'm 6' tall but a hefty 280 lbs.

Working on that though. :D

[R.U-A.S.S Rocks]

i know what you mean I only weigh 220 but I use to way a little more but I loose a lot during football every year, other wise i'm just to darn lazy :laugh:

[blinkpk11]

shocker, freak, 88//45, and a 6 pods.....

[bellybomber3]

Classic Intimidator or 2k2 cocker

[Arbiestsheft]

iR3, 68/45 on a unimount, freak, lots of paint

[NickE]

I have a J.T 5.0. It's pretty cool to play at the back with it. It is a little short on range but I usually move forward to the middle.

[R.U-A.S.S Rocks]

i keep hearing people saying that cockers are not good back player guns at all i personally think they are just talking out of their *** what do you guys think

[PolicarStudios]

Considering I'm one of the people who's saying it, I believe it's very true. Cockers are good guns, but an electro is far better suited towards back players. I'm not saying a cocker will be a terrible disadvantage, but once you're up against people shooting 12bps streams without any effort, you won't be able to keep up. I have a friend who fires very fast on a stock mechanical spyder though, so I'm not one to say everyone who has a mechanical cocker fires slowly, but I think cockers are less suited to back players than almost any other marker. If you use one and use it well, good for you. If you play back and are looking for a new marker, a cocker would not be my first recommendation, however.

[Ice]

can't go wrong with a mag (cough cough *emag* cough cough) then you can play back + go front of mid if needed

[Blazestorm]

The thing is... alot of people tuck in when a few balls are shot at them, because what if one of those balls hit their hopper? they're out.

One way I move up in recball (like splat attack) is fire 2 balls at every bunker I know there is someone at, than I move up without worrying about anything, and even when people are shooting at me I just snap shoot them to get them in than I wait for them to pop out.

Any gun can be in any position. :P

[R.U-A.S.S Rocks]

i agree what i think it's not how well the gun goes with the position but how well the player can use the gun with a cocker you can add things to make it more suited for you

That's why I like Warp feed:D

[Zombie472]

It took a long time, but i just dinked around with my lug, sear, and actuationg rod. And I am no light weight either. 6'6" 280 punds

[Phobos182]

I play strickly back, and move to mid once we have position. I personally use an Autococker. There is more to playing back than rate of fire. True, and electro will give you more BPS, but an experienced player with a well tricked out gun can match the BPS cap for NPPL paintball with an Autococker, so dont buy into that. An Autococker has great air efficiency once you go LP with a good airsmith. So with a 68/4500 tank, you can get tons of shots off (Which is a back players bread & butter). With most electros you dont get the type of efficiency you can get with a cocker (Actually, most of them are gas hogs). The feel of the gun counts for a lot as well (Personal Preference).

You can play any position with any gun, but some guns are more suitied for some positions than others. I would not take an autococker to play front because the snapshooting is a little slower than that of a well tricked electro. Skill makes up for any shortcomming with your marker, so dont take this at face value. But if you want to go through 2600 rounds without an air refill, take the cocker.

[Glacius]

I have a RT Pro and I am a back I love it . being a large person the back is were I stay. i will be soon getting a 18 inch boomstick that i will dare you to run with.:D

All I have to say is please don't get an 18 inch barrel it will cause so much trouble. At longest get a 14 but that is too long for speed ball. With longer than 14 you have to turn you velocity up so much you will explode balls in your barrel or breach. :(

[mlucasone]

i use an aka viking. You cant complain about its efficiency. It easily gets a case off of a 68/4500. and its an electro.

[Kamikaze_PBalla]

I play back and shoot an LCD Matrix

part of the reason is because aka is very good with gas effeciency they obviously know what they are doing with the tornado and sidewinder so that's no that surprising

Not unless,
1) He plays SupAir
2) He's got an Lvl 10 bolt.

On the other hand, there is no real benefit to a 18" barrel other than for sighting.

[Blazestorm]

I could aim better with my old-school 16" all american last time I played with it (than I gave it away)

[trench_raider]

I use a Brass Eagle Rainamaker retrofitted with a '99 select fire board. I use a 12 volt revvy, a 3k n2 tank (with a 4 oz co2 tank in my bag as a back-up), and carry 600 rounds on the field.

[MuckRaker]

i'm using the Impulse in my sig, but I'm considering changing to the
2k3 Shocker.

[PolicarStudios]

Yeah the new shockers will own. They'll be priced the same as the old ones too!

[FalloutMan]

rat impulse with the stuff in my sig and my mag which is basically the equal to an rt pro with slug body omega body rail and level 10(along with x-valve and its all chrome except the valve)

[MuckRaker]

I beg to differ with you here ... I've seen many a good front player using high end cockers with no problem. what it all boils down to is personal preference and what you're comfortable with.

[SPS16]

I use a bk0 which is great for laying down paint on the tape w/ a rico AK which keeps up just fine and a 45/45 max flo new style.

[turtlemonkey]

cocker

[mikek2111987]

If i play back i just use my spyder...im damn fast with it so it works out. i dont need all those fancy electric ones:)

[FrOnTMaN]

i use a cocker up front. and its not like its a big disadvantage using one, but it certainly doesnt help.

[Mcot2]

Hi fellow back player.

I used to own a shocker but didnt like it.

I now use a 2k2 cocker with eblade. It is fast. Edit: Very Fast. It also balences nice with my 12 inch freak. Now barrel size is crutial for back players. I find a 14 or a 12 best. Some say 16 is good for back, but it just casuse more drag on the ball when u want to get out a nice 10 bps string.

Now I carry a 4 pod xtreme rage pack, with 4 140rnd pods. Also have a full 12 volt and a full warp feed.

I highly recomend a warp feed to a back player. It allows for insane feed rates, reduces your profile, and doesnt get in the way as much a say, a big hopper like a halo.

[numberonegun]

nothing special just an e99 with 12v revvy, all american, palmer stabilizer, psycho ballistics drop and 47,3000 centerflag aluminum.

[R.U-A.S.S Rocks]

how much paint do you carry and what type of harness and if you like what you have or what would you recomend

[PaintballSpike]

I consider my self an all-rounded player. On my previous team I played back exclusivly, on my new team I play front left or right. I used the marker setup in my sig and It has done beautifully in both postitions. By the way Freak barrels kick *****!

[PaintballSpike]

As for harnesses I am in the middle of buying a new one my self. My old one (Jakko) really sucked. I would recommend that you carry at least 5 pods with you, and always bring some spares to a tournament. Someplayers have a bad habit of stealing tossed pods.

[R.U-A.S.S Rocks]

yea it's pretty sad unless your playing in a tourney you'll lose at least one pod every time you play

[Dark Magician]

I use a '99 shocker with a Werm frame and wermstick trigger,
68/45 max flow nitro tank and a ricochet hopper. Shockers are so nice to shoot in the back. So smooth to lay down strings of paint.


Peace.
DM

[blinkpk11]

i use a redz 4 horiz. 2 vert, but if i played a 5 man tounry id buy a 5+4, 9 is plenty for 5 man, better to have too much than too little.....

[MuckRaker]

right now i'm using a 4+3 paintball junkies harness. I use Redz 150 round pods. Should we decide to dabble in seven man tournaments, I'll probably go with a 5+4 harness.

[Shadow221]

Yeah in a tourney you'd lose 4 or 5 a game;)

[R.U-A.S.S Rocks]

not really, but for a back player in a five man tourney would you guys recomend a 4.3 or 5.4 harness with 150 round pods

[e-hose2002]

i play back and shoot a 2k2 Angel with a 68 A.I.R. rig......................its fast,sexy,and performs well.........what more could you ask for?!:D

[midknight]

I use the Impulse in my sig, and i'm getting a Matrix as soon as i get $100.

[WYRViNX]

'99 cocker in sig, but I am working on a '00 Rainmaker... we'll see. As for my pack I use a 5+4 (w/ 150's) zip pack, and I love it so far. I play mostly 5man. The RM is easier to fire but I can still fire my AC faster, but a new board and some mods should fix that problem.

[MuckRaker]

with a 4.3, and 150 round pods, you'll be carrying a half case on the field, plus what's in your hopper. IMO, that's enough for 5-man.

[R.U-A.S.S Rocks]

yea we have been discussing how much paint we need to carry on the field and how much we need to buy for a tourney so we can get enough money

[MuckRaker]

yeah, we're just setting up our team, and there's a definite learning curve associated with tourney play. Now this is what some friends on various teams told me. Every player buys once case of paint for the tournament and that's used as team paint. AFter that runs out, eachplayer is responsible for paying for his paint.

The thing to remember, in the scenario I described above. That half case of paint your carrying might last you two games, maybe only one. So, if you as the back player using a 4.3 with 150 round pods, has to play six preliminary games, you're gonna need about three to four cases of paint ... and then more if you advance to the semi and final rounds.

Now, if the tourney you're playing is BYOP, you're lucky. But, if it's FPO, you're gonna shell out about $400 for the tourney.

We're lucky, the local tournaments we play in are BYOP, and the stores here don't gouge your wallet. Unfortunately, we want to travel to some bigger venues, and that's gonna cost BIG BUCKS!

I'd prefer to see some of these promoters upping their registration and allowing teams to bring their own paint, or sell their paint onsite for $40-$50 a case.

[denraytay]

I watched a guy at a local 3 man tournament pack 11 150 guppies on the field came off with 2 full. His hopper was full going on the field.

[R.U-A.S.S Rocks]

we just save up as much money as possible and buy a **** load of paint and just take what we need when we need it

[NCProckett]

300-400$ worth of paint for the prelims?

You should shoot your self out

[FalloutMan]

i personally have a redz 3.2 dimesion and only used about 3 pods in 3 man at most and will maybe use 5 in 5 or 7. all depends on how much you dump

[Gibralter]

i generally play back in rec ball due to the fact that everyone wants to do their own thing and lose, so i tell them what lanes i'm shooting and tell them not to get hit.

Anyway, i shoot my spyder Xtra w/ no real upgrades besides nitro and a barrel, and a revvy. Am in the proccess for a cocker and i use 4 pod pack.

[R.U-A.S.S Rocks]

yea i hate these hot shot rec ballers that think they are all that when i went on friday i made it to the fifty on the break don't ask me how about 2 minutes into the game some guy with and angel slides into the bunker and some how eneded up pulling the trigger a few times and hit five times at least in the back from two feet away wow that hurt like a *****

[PaintballSpike]

e-hose2002: If you find your marker that sexy theres a problem. Don't you find it hard to shoot during an orgasm?

OK numbnuts ... I'm the back guy, and I gotta buy 3 cases of paint for the prelims at $80/case ... That's $240 ... Two more cases for the semi's is $160, and maybe that will last me through the finals ... yes, dufus, that's $400 ... Now, *******, maybe you should shoot yourself out.

[NCProckett]

lmao

[GIZMO8Z]

I shoot a custom built 'cocker w/ Shocktech pneumatics, internals, supafly and stumpy drop w/on/off, KAPP cosmetics(pump arm, cocking rod, back block, beaver tail, ball detent, etc.) benchmark .45 slider and a 16" ultralite i got for $50:D

As for a pack I use a planet eclipse jacko 3.2 pack with xloops.
