just a comment there is no such thing as a "sniper" in paintball especiallly if you plan on playin in tournements youll get lit up if you even think that way:sleep:

it appears that u dont know anything about p8ntball.

"Sniper- Person granted or given the right to take out enemy at long distance ranges without moving." Copyright, The Complete guide to Paintball.

U probably don't even hav the guts to admit it.

problem is, is that all paintball guns shoot the same distance except for a tippman with a flatline, so basiclly it is utterly impossible to take people out at extremely long distances

[carfreak]

has anyone bothered to look in a dictionary to see what a sniper means.

snip·er (plural snip·ers) noun
hidden shooter: somebody who shoots at people from a concealed position

There is no mention about distance.
i hate ignorant peolpe:pissed:

[carfreak]

we all need to stop talking about sniping and its place in paintball.
this subject was brought up many times in other forums here.

you (p8ntaballmasterbater) are the one that doesn't know anything about paintball. there are snipers in woods games, but not in tourneys, since tourneys are usually speedball. you would be a back player, but not a "sniper".

This entire thread is very sad :sad:

Snipers do exist in PAINTBALL.

Paintball, as much as you noobs who pay extra so you can play on a field that makes you buy cheesy field paint would like to believe otherwise, is not just speed ball.

Anyone who has played woodsball with 20+ people, in a secure situation, complete wih a chrony, and barrel plug and mask rules, will tell you that woods is the real deal.

Speedball is just as valid a form of paintball.

Snipers (REAL snipers) do not sit.

Sniping is the ability to take out targets unseen and undetected. To be able to attack in such a fashion require a lot of skill. Sitting on your *** and waiting for people to randomly stumble onto you is not sniping, it is camping.

Sniping on most speedball fields is next to impossible because there is no cover for movement, only bunkers.

Why can none of you people just drop the sniping topic? None of you are going to listen to anyone else, so you might as well stop posting about sniping.

i agree no more postin on this thread please

[optimusprime888]

We should all start saying we're "Paintball Guerillas". IT sounds better, and it exactly describes my method of play.

[Thor the Mighty]

i usually stratagise what to do then when i figure something out, i go for the weekest looking person on their team then work my way up the chain of command

It is so sas that none of you know anything about paintball and "Snipery". U call urselves humans??? U all probably go to paintball just to shoot the hell out of someone else. None of you have ever looked at the history of paintball, and how it is played. If u guys think there are no such things as Snipers (People who stay some place and shoot at others) then next time, why don't you maniacs go to Tournaments and ask the other teams if they have a sniper. Then come back to me and make YET ANOTHER EXCUSE that "there is no such thing as a sniper in paintball." :laugh:

[Congobongo]

ok havnt you heard of flanking people? Is that cosidered sniping or whatever you think

no, i play paintball to have fun.
I've been to tournaments, pro tournaments, am tournaments, all on SPEEDBALL FIELDS since that is what they play on.. .now then, NONE of them have snipers. NONE. They have back players, but what the hell is a sniper? by the army way, its someone who lays down in bushes with a ghillie suit and takes very accurate shots without being seen. It is possible not to be seen in paintball, but scopes, laser sights, etc, are insanely stupid, because paintballs just aren't that accurate. go to a 'sup air field and tell them you are a sniper, you will get lit the hell up.
