POLL: Should hopper and gun hits count?

[MWM]

I am in the process of staging a big scenario game for next spring. I want it to be as enjoyable as possible, so I want input as to what people like and don't like. Personally, I would rather that gun and hopper hits not count. What do you think?

why wouldn't they count, just asking :)

[AllOleander]

I think it should count .. if it didn't, people would blind shoot everytime and that wouldn't be fun.

just my imput

I think it should count, Alot of the time that is all there is to shoot at. Also, if it doesnt count the games will go longer because the gun will serve as a shield and it will be harder to eliminate people. Unless there are time limits that is.

if hopper shots didn't count then someone would come out w/ hopper that'll come over the front of the gun or something....I think they have to count but that's just me and it might depend what age group is playing....If its smaller kids then it might be better to not have them count....But have them count, my opinion

[AllOleander]

Good point, maybe you shouldn't have it count if it's little kids .. because they will just stay behind a marker and shoot at other peoples marker and hopper, they wont move around..but if you make them not count, they will actually have to move to get a good shot at the opponent.

So far it is 100 percent yes. i have a feeling that it will come out about that way. That is the info I am looking for, thanks.

Blind shooting is dangerous I seen a kid get a barrel jammed in his stomach when somebody was shooting at him and he got a hole in his shirt.

my normal field plays where any hit counts, including hopper and gun hits, but i once went to a field where nothing below the elbow or knee or on the gun or hopper counted. my friend and i realized that all we had to do was lay on our backs and shoot between our knees, even without any other cover, and we couldn't get out! it was the most painful day of paintball i have ever had.

[KoRnMaN]

sounds like fun though.

hopper hits should definately count, there are m most common hits. its like a guarunteed out if you hit there hopper, i have never seen a bounce off a hopper, have u?

[MuckRaker]

yeah, Hopper hits should count ... especially when playing against those folk who can tuck tight and snap shoot fast, sometimes all you see is their hopper.

[KoRnMaN]

I have had hopper hits that havent broken.

[AllOleander]

...maybe w/ a hopper cover..

otherwise i dont see how it could bounce..enless it was really thick paint...

[KoRnMaN]

No, think about that again. If you get shot from 100 yards away ruffly it can bounce so easy and if it hasn't happen to you why are you saying its not possible. Don't be bias about your opinion if you don't really know and no I didn't have a hopper cover.

some people play with neoprene hopper covers, that helps make a bounce, also, I've had hits bounce off my unprotected VL 200. Can't explain it, but I've seen it happen.

Ty Muck.:)

[AllOleander]

I dind't say it wasn't possible i said it merely, usually doesnt happen.

[KoRnMaN]

ok then.

[iwantamag]

don't dis the little kids they don't do that they run around alot more than older people (exept for my newbie friend who shoots randomly) i am 12 and i run around alot i like the flanking tactic it coufuses the people i play whit when i open fire from behind then hit all but one then my team hits the last one

[AllOleander]

if you're talking to me, im sorry if i dissed little kids, but i dont think i did :confused:
