Bunkering - info needed

[Mr.Parker]

I'm a rec player just starting out (bought my first gun) and I almost always play speedball. I just wanted some advice on when and under what conditions should you bunker another player. I would like to increase my level of play by becoming more aggressive and need to know how to bunker someone successfully. Any info would be appreciated.

Well The main think is make sure you have cover from your whole them or atleast the morjority. Also making sure ever body is covering a person when you run up to the person your going to bunker. Also make sure that person that your bunkering is looking at you and has his attention drawed by another one of your team members. And last always shoot over the top because in hyperball and speedball they rarly ever look over the top so they wont expect that and there are a couple of execptions to that depending on amount of people on each side and what the field is like.

and make sure you don't bunker any newbies, it just ruins their day.

[KoRnMaN]

Actually its fun.

[carfreak]

Are you joking. That would probably make that kid hate the sport and never play again. I only bunker guys that been around awhile.

[KoRnMaN]

Actually they would just hate the person that did it to them and seek revenge.:)

[carfreak]

not bunkering a newbie is like a unwritten rule in paintball. Its just not done.

i agree with carfreak

[KoRnMaN]

I have bunkered a newbie and got yelled at for shooting him in the back.:(

[carfreak]

[KoRnMaN]

the first time i went paintballing, we played several woods games and ended on the speedball field. the very last game, i got 5 of the 9 players on the other team, three by bunkering. it was such a thrill, although i got hit from point blank three inches to the left of my groin and had a bruise for a week...that was scary. I have never been bunkered since then, once i almost was, but called myself out because i had no paint left and i was being pinned by an angel and a cocker while another angel moved to bunker me.

ive prevented myself from being bunkerd on a hyperball field. A guy with an angel started running to this stand up 45 I was in and He didn't thin I saw him will guess what bam bam bam bam in his side. Then I Prevented a team mate from getting bunkerd in the same day that was even cooler.
