snipers in paintball

[semi-driver-jp]

i hate it when people try and say they r snipers...there is no such thing as a sniper in paintball. All the guns shoot the exact same distance and have the exact same fps...if they r on a field. So-called "snipers" guns just have a scope and maybe a longer barrel. But they are not n e more accurate than any other gun. Do u agree?

I declare no flaming allowed. Some people believe that snipers do exist while others don't. Its true that a gun with a 21 inch barrel is no more accurate than a gun with a 16 inch barrel. There is also no point in a scope as well. However, some people argue that snipers are stealthy and as long as the player is stealthy, they can be snipers.

If they say they are snipers, let them be. Its a controversial topic. Again, please don't flame in this thread.

For lack the lack of intelligence your post you should be flamed.

Technically there are not snipers. But at the same time there are guys that lay in bushes concealed and wait for a shot so that counts as being a sniper.

But in the end whatever floats your boat. Personally for me in bushball I love just walking around and not knowing where anyone is.

my idea of sniping is shooting lots of paint at a target and hoping one of the balls hit the guy

Flame as in "OMG you st00pid n00blet '05, ther are 2 snipers in paintballl!!!111"


But anyways, I think if someone stays in a concealed spot and waits for the first idiot to cross his path and fires a shot at him, then that makes him a paintball sniper.

there's a very good sniper thread in the S&T forum that explains both sides of the sniper argument.

Yup....there are many good threads that have battled this out. Try a search.
