help! me i need some moves

[memph bLeek]

hey what up. i am bleeks brother i have a spyder xtra and i was wondering about a couple of stratigies. I went to my local paintball field to watch the pros play. Well the guys would just stand right behinde this bunkers and shoot with there head sticking out. they somehow didnot get shot. yet they were from ground zero. i wanted to know a couple of moves like taht so i can get some nice aim on someone. please tell me some moves. it seems everytime i stay in a low profile and get a bead on someone, i allways get hit. please help. thanks

Well, thats tough question. It is not only keeping a tight profile, but also not staying exposed for too long. Practice your snap shots.

Not quite sure if I know what the question is, buuuttt...
I like to kneel/crouch/whatever a couple of feet behind the bunker, it gives you a larger area of view than right up next to it. Also if someone gets closer to you, you can always move up and hung the bunker wall.

Another tip is never poke your head out from the same spot of the bunker twice. Granted sometimes this is hard, but try not to as much as possible.

Ok one main thing that you haveto remember is the fact that if you stick your head over the bunker you WILL get shot. Never stick your head out of the top of the bunker. everytime that you are trying to tag someone and you dont want to get hit you have to stick your head out of on side or the other of a bunker. If you are forced to come over the top try and take your hopper off and fill your powerfeed with balls this should hold about 3 with one in the chamber. if you do this you eliminate a huge target (your hopper). Dont worry about only haveing 3-4 balls becasue you should not shoot more than that anyway if you are coming over the top of a bunker. As the person before stated you need to practice snap shooting. What this is, is it is where you stick your head and gun around the corner of a bunker just long enough to get 3 shots off and tuck your head back in. One thing that helps make this possible is when you run to the bunker make shure that you know where all your enimies are (friends 2) If you did not see where they are you cant shoot them, this forces you to stick your head out of the bunker longer to see them. also another thing you can do with snap shooting is stit farther back (also mentioned on a previous reply) this alows you to see more without exsposing much more of your body to attackers in front of you. (make sure that you dont have any one on the side cause they will screw ya if your sittin out farther) Also you can practice snap-shooting in your back yard givin you have a bigenough back yard (you could even dry fire but it can really piss the neighbors off cause it gets kinda loud.) Oh and one last thing you want to get better at oppisite handed shooting, if you are right handed it is harder to shoot right handed out of the left side of the bunker. You can practice this buy just walking around your house with your gun in your left hand it just gets you used to the feel of it. I hope i could help you...

He had a very good point about shooting off-handed. You will gain a HUGE advantage if you can shoot equally well from either side of the bunker, without having to lean out more on one side.

Another thing to remember is most ppl tend to shoot with their right hand so they would be poking of the bunker on YOUR left. Not a rule to live by, but one to keep in mind in most rec games.

Sometimes, I just don't shoot at all for the first few minutes of the game and I rush to get a good bunker as far in enemy territory as possible. Many times the opposing side will just forget about me, allowing me to geta few well placed shots from an unexpected angle. Sometimes they just pass me all together and I get to shoot at their backsides.

Well it pretty much this all you got to do is keep silent move in cover. keep behind good cover stay low. and dont be a wuss if you get pinned some place!

[Killers Are Quiet]

another thing about pushing hard to an upfield bunker, if the enemy team DOES see you, they might focus on you allowing your teammates to flank them.

[paintballer56]

just tuck in really tight or u will be shot it mighta just looked like they were all out and stuff

sound good i wanna try that

[Sacattack]

Yeah it really does work good for snap shooting. Oh and one more thing once you have them stuck in a bunker dont pull back and give them the upperhand. stay sighted on the player in the bunker your covering.

I've used that tactic many a time, people will actually run in open spots diagonal from you because there angle doesn't allow them to see you, you can rain paintballs at them and they have no clue where it's coming from. Also it's a very nice position to snap shoot from, and your legs don't get tired, just be sure if you use a back ball harness you have some good strong tubes like DYE's so the paint doesn't pop.

Or you can just slide your harness to your stomach so you dont even have to worry about the paint popping...
