i dont know whats so good about having a fully automatic gun because all they do is waste paint. i know that some of you like to just bunker somebody down with a hail of paintballs but you can still do that with a fast shooting semi and not waste so much paint i think of paintball turns into a bunch of people with electro guns that shoot 20 bps and just bunker people down paintball will not be as fun.If you want to defend fully autos i would like to hear your view also.

i don't see why you would like to spray paint every where
paint is expensive!!

no one i no uses F/A actively, it's novelty, and not as skill involved

full auto is for the people that think they need to impress people with how fast their gun shoots. Or people who are too scared to play on the same level with other people so they get fast shooting guns cause it makes them feel safe knowing they can shoot nearly 3 times as fast as everyone else. Or people who use it as a cover for how bad they really are. Thats my opinion.

Nobody really uses Fully Automatic. I dont, considering I can shoot almost as fast in semi, there isnt really much sense in it

I agree. F/A is a novelty. But fast shoot does come in handy when you are laying out the paint while trying to bunker someone.

i can see if you can shoot that fast semi. But it doesn't take much to run and hold down a trigger. I really dont see a need to shoot more than 5 bps.

Where I am, all the fields and such don't allow full auto. But, if you have a gun thta can go full auto then it is most likely electro. If your gun is electro you have a super short electro trigger and with one of those you can easily shoot as fast as auto when your in semi mode.

when i get an electro (if i do instead of cocker or sumtin) i will never use full auto (cept to try for curiousity hehe) but i dont think its needed and i cant afford to feed paint that fast hehe. i think i would really like 3 rd bursts though. is that legal at fields? (bursts)

Some fields will let you do 3 and 6 ,I been too only one field that lets you go full auto and I think its a waste. But in outlaw games I have play agaist people that have used it.And when back too the dead zone with alot of paint on me before. I really don't care for people using it.But if they do I will still play agaist them.

Hey Creek, congrats on the big 1000. I think some fields allow it, but in recplay there is no real need.

Hey, me and my buddies fought against 3 electro's this past weekend. Ive only done this once, but i agree with you. all they did was spray paint. i hardly saw these guys use startegy. they wernt bad, but not good enough to hit any of my bud's.

Oh yes, the idea of scring newbies and hurting people turns me on. I'd just love that, make little Johnny bleed so his mother goes to the mayor in intentions of having that field shut down. Why, it's music to my ears. Scarrig and making a new player cry, what fun.
You sick monster, why the hell would any one want to do that? Thats not pantball, thats violence. It's al fun and games till someonew does it to you.

yeah, when playing against newbies (i used to be one too not so long ago) it is better to let them surrender especially when you get them locked in somewhere or move within a couple feet of them. just to keep them in the sport and not too scared to ever play again.

The same questions were asked 15 years ago when reliable semi's came on the market. The game is evolving, some for the better some for worse. I would like to see the good old pump days come back when skill was a major factor in the game. P.S. I have played pump and semi tournies, skill was a leading factor to winning in pump, not so much in semi now. Intelligent rebuttals are alway encouraged.

Why would i want to? It's so harmful to the game I'd rather never hear it again it is so full of it. It's just wrong.

You said "who wouldn't love to have a f/a gun" and then you said "imagine". You obviously meant it to sound like something people would love to do.

I have or we have played agaist full auto people,what we do is if there pinning someone down we team up agaist them 2 on 1 etc.he got too move real fast to hold down 2.We go one left one right.He has to reload his hopper.I have bunker more elec. this way at outlaw games.If there more elec. markers we make them fire as much as we can.Then if the guy back them up we pin and move. I can be done and has been done.
Thanks Richy

when i get my timmy, i would never use full auto against another person, maybe just to like show off to newbies before the game or watever (haha). theres no fun in full auto, IMO, even if u are the user. when im playin against newbies, i try to limit my shots on him, cuz i know how much it seemz to hurt to a newbie, so i try to only shoot him once. BUT, if someone is running to a bunker, i just lose control, and i wail my trigger on him. i'd like to use 3 shot burst tho...not even 6, just 3.

I do like the idea of having full auto, I would not shoot it at someone or anything but it would be fun to have.

Fully auto, is stupid, even semi kinda takes the fun out of the game. I've been playing for 4 years and my first gun was a pump boy was that exhilirating!
