Ariakon Guns

Ariakon's MP5-ish thing was my first idea, but then I decided to get the A5 for the price and reputation. And for the cyclone, and ability to get a flatline.

Anyhow.

I play woodsball. For me it's not pretend army. It's just fun. I wear camo. And I can tell you over and over, it does work as long as you know how to use it, and where. Camo doesn't work in speedball where your surroundings are neon colored "bunkers" and you are constantly running around. Camo DOES work however, in the middle of the woods where you can be sitting still for 10 or more seconds.

In woodsball, we wear camo, not to look like the army, but to have an advantage (or not have a disadvantage). It's better than nothing.

We want realistic guns, just because they look cool. And for bragging purposes. The realistic guns are just for looks. As long as it's dull colored and/or matches your camo/surroundings, it's fine.

For you guys, neon colored camo works best because it's easy to identify teams, and it almost blends in with your neon colored bunkers. It's called speedball for a reason. It's so fast, that it would be impossible to identify teams if the colors weren't bright colored.

Personally I would like to have the time to identify my enemy, aim, and shoot, with a limited possibility of being discovered. It's more like an advanced game of hide-and-seek where you have to hide and capture the flag at the same time.

I have played speedball, and it is pretty fun, but I guess it's just not for me.

I've seen stupider things happen.

In day light a trio of enemies past by us in the woods while we were laying down. Someone almost got stepped on. About the time they are 30 feet behind us we silently get up and turn around and start firing at them. They should've really seen us. I guess they had foggy or smeared gogs or something.

But the time that camo worked the best for me was when I was 100 feet from the enemy base and I was "sniping" people for about 15-20 minutes and they had no idea where it was comming from.

Then one of my team mates in a t-shirt lays right by me, and they see him and start shooting. I move out of the way, and he gets hit out. Then I move back into position and continue. By that time they are watching the area and I guess they saw the co2 cloud/pbs flying out or something and shot at me and gogged me.

Without woods and milsim the industry would have gone down the drain. And beleive me when I say that more woodsballers own angels than speedballers. At least in my area they do. Can't play in the woods without seeing at least 10% of the players with an Angel or an X/E-Mag or Matrix or etc. (wearing cammies and using tactical vests) these days whereas most speedball fields I've played at I only see one or two. Maybe it's different elsewhere but from my experiance even speedball based industries need the woods to survive.

I strongly second this

Heyya!

Not to insult you, but where you drunk, high, or are you blind? You walked past someone dressed up like a bush that was just sitting there? You have to be kidding me.

Good luck!
