ok i figured it out

u don't play speed balls thes are woods terms

and no suden impact is in GA u know georgia it' named after what used to be his store, if i remember correctly

as for rain maker, that option is virtually pointless, to acheive a rain effect the balls have to coem down at a 60° angle or greater which is beyond the effective arch for maximum range, that would be 45°

long baller no any one who shoots across the feild is by ur definition a long baller, a person who long balls is often a back player or some one who does it from front of their side to back of the oposite

dead mans walk is niether complicated nore a tactical advantage it's the way of the cowerd who can't get people out any other way, with freinds it's funny with real players it aint

floater, could be a mid or an insert starts as back and moves up, insert is the real term.

who says fips? other then ur freaky deaky freinds

and bouncer most people just say bounce at all the places across the country ive been it's A BOUNCE

****- see deadmans walk

dumping, well alot of people do do that ive dumped 7 pods in 7 minuets playing mid in a tourny it;s what can be needed

High tech gun huh. well many HIGH END guns are customized factory modified means modified by a branch of the company, smart parts has freak factory, but a ratpulse isn't directly effliated with smart parts, they make high tech/end guns

Hose? well once again read dumping? pepper?

loader is more of a term for hopper, perhaps pod or guppy might be better suited, all be it that is a some what comon term

paint check is a good one but change it from a hit player to a suspectedly hit player being checked for paint

Piant slinger? thats a bit sketchy but ok

and pellet pusher thats more of an airsoft term

rock and role huh? thats a new one how about fast or tat shouldn;t be here

well splooged? thats kinda nifty i wouldn't use it but i can respect that

spotter? once again that is a very poor definition a spotter in paintball if directly effiliated with that of a sniper..in real life.. would be un armed or lightly armed, as for in paintball i get what ur trying to say but more of some one providing cover and information

stock gun well when a gun is stock it is as is from factory often the lwoer of the barrel gun if there are more then one from factory, but a stock gun is a pump gun with 10 round cartridges and 12 oz co2 containers loaded from the rear

wombat huh? thats a new one as for walk on though it is also a game where there are no real stakes who ever shows up at the feild can play

have a nice day, please, once again look into the newb forum one

and paint speak more like paintball slang or lingo
