well last weekend we headed out paintballing and several times I found myself pinned behind a bunker and since it was walkons the only real support you had is if your team mates were extremely helpful (YEAH RIGHT!) and many time I found 4 of our teammates all shooting one bunker to death to keep one man pinned as an advance on few other players were never payed much attention to. Have any of you found an easy way to disrupt a string of fire that keeps you in a bunker ??? I have found sometimes that if you lay really low as they scan the field for possible targets and you stay behind a bunker not coming out that often times you will be forgotten or can gain an edge but you also run the dreaded risk of being bunkered... Anyone got a better solution?

no bunkering allowed at my local field. ur not even allowed to shoot within 20 feet a person. wat i do is....i stay down low....and wait until their hopper runs out or something, or they stop shooting.......i ask my fellow teammates where they are, then i pop out, just put my gun over the bunker and just randomly shoot to get them back in their bunker...and then i pop out, and shoot at their bunker. basically just wait, and make sure u are cooperative with ur temas and make sure u guys play well together

Since the stream of paint isnt constant, wait for a break in shots and snap shoot your way into a dominant position. If your shots are on target, you'll force him into his bunker, and you just have to pop back out and now you're firing at him every time he shows his face.

I had a situation in a previous tourney where i was stuck behind a bunker with fire coming from both the side and the front. Luckily for me (not my team) the enemy captured the flag and chose not to bunker my ***. What could you do in that position? I thought about rushing the guy at my side...would that have been the best strategy?

I dunno I have been in this position many times and it is never a easy call as to what to do... usually I just go with my first impulse and if all else fails I resort to desperate atempts which sometimes pay off

snap shooting is the only way out

Anyone else ever fantasize about sneaking a Squadbuster onto a speedball field, and when you're takin fire from 3 guys behind a bunker... Man, I wished I had one on several occasions last weekend :)
