Im thinking about making a homemade ghillie suit out of fish net and burlap. I dont know any good techniques. I live in florida so im sure green and brownish burlap will do any good ideas!

You have fun with that, but be prepared to have an entire hopper unloaded on you when you get seen. Wanna be ghillie ub3r 1337 5n1p3rs normally get 30-100 rounds done their throat from normal players.

No, you have ten times the chance because ghillie suit are not designed for paintball. A ghillie suit used by a untrained person sticks out like a sore thumb. You can tell a ghillie suited player from a mile away. Because of this wanna be snipers get unloaded on, because they use the ghillie suits to cheat alot of the time by "not feeling the hits" Therefore most players will insure that you feel the hits by unloading a hopper on you.

I know you have posted that you wont be. However if you do ever plan on making a ghillie suit, or for those potential readers who may. Make sure to spray it with a flame retardant...

This is why flame retardant is recommended for ghillies.

The flame retardant works both ways.

I disagree about this whole "ghille suit 'wanna be snipers' get unloaded on". I think that's way to over-generalized. I have played with many people using ghillie suits and never before have I seen or heard of someone cheating by claiming they 'didnt feel the hit'. I think if it was a REAL ghillie suit this could be a problem as they have many, many layers of different fabrics and textures. However, a ghillie suit made of burlap and fish-net? You'd feel it though burlap no problem, unless you're planning on wearing a whole lot of layers. I say go for it. If it does happen you're bonous balled to an extreme extent for the reason of wearing a ghillie suit then that field has more problems than just over-dressed players and should consider more/better refs to keep an eye on things. Just my 2 cents. And to suggest that people who wear a ghillie suit are 'wanna be snipers' etc etc is quite ignorant. Ghillie suits, much like normal camo BDU's and clothing of that sort can be used by any player, whether they think they are 'snipers' or not. If used properly ghillie and you wear a ghillie that matches the environment you are playing in it can hide you very nicely and help you set up ambushes and/or remain hidden to give you an advantage over others.

To each their own snake. I guess 4-5 years isn't very long in the long run. I think it very low if some wears a ghillie suit to make balls bounce and for that reason alone. If they wear it becuase they think it gives them an advantage, fine. If they cheat, then it says something about them and that should be closure enough. If one feels the need to bonus ball them to get them out, fine. I know I wouldn't do either and I expect those on my team wouldn't either. If you see it done, you should say something to the player. And this forum sure has something against the aspect of paintball 'snipers'. Obviously the range and ballistics advantage does not exist, but similar aspects of sniping can be adopted (if done properly) to give one an advantage on the paintball field.
