sweetspotting

What is sweetspotting?I hear people say it all the time and i never know what it means.

[iipaintballer]

That is when you fire at a spot that you expect your target to be in before it is there.

For example, shooting a a spot by a bunker because you think that your opponent will stick their head out there. So the instant they stick their head out a pb gogs them...

well sweet spot is also when dailing in your marker ,you find that prefect spot where it is firing the best .

what the hell are you talking about?
sweetspotting is in retrovalve paintball guns (like automag rt or m98 w/ reactive trigger)
the sweetspot is adujusting your trigger so that the trigger bounce back from the retrovalve will bounce off your finger when you hold it in a certain spot off the trigger
what results is pretty much full auto
however, it usually results in a crap load of chopped balls
it also is in guns with strong enough recoil that it actually helps you to pull the trigger faster when it bounces forward after the rearward recoil
youre second definition is a lot more accurate than your first one

Well when I got my Blazer they said there that after it breaks in you got to ajust it till you find that sweet spot on your marker. Hmmmm I guess Palmers don't know swack

the first time i heard the term sweet spotting was used by Ravi Chopra of paintball games international magazine (i think that's what it was called) in an article for rt's
every time except now, i heard it used that way

Can mean 2 things. Firing at a bunker in anticipation of a player moving there, or anticipation of that player popping his head up. Can also refer to finding the exact position of the microswitch contact point on an electro and moving the trigger in just the tiniest movements and getting a very fast ROF

Seems to me there are two opinions. I own an autococker, and the sweet spot is deffinately the point where you have the gun's timing critical parts in the right place(As stated about the mag) as far as I'm concerned. It is the place where the gun is most happy, firing away. Shooting ahead of your opponent is what is known as leading the target. Point in Case "When someone is running you need to lead your aim a bit", I don't know how many times I've told people I've played with that one. SO my vote would be that sweetspot is gun timimg. Actually I'll settle this. I'll post a poll.

Well I posted in the poll and like I said before gun timing.
