    Posted: 26 August 2004 at 9:34pm
I have come across this issue a few times the last couple of years and so I thought I'd see what anyone else here thought - at our local field on the bushball field, we have lots of natural and manmade bunkers, some of the manmade bunkers are made with pallets or made so you can see through them and also if you prefer, stick your barrel through and shoot.  I've actually been shot through the cracks, and more than once now, when some people get shot, they freak out because they were shot through the cracks of the bunker material.  I see no problem myself getting shot either through the cracks or being shot by someone sticking their barrel through the crack and picking me off, to me it's war; take advantage of whatever you can to obtain the overall goal of winning.  Feel free to post your opinion either way, I told the guys at the field I would post this, print it off and we would see what everyone had to say, thanks.
Imagine there’s a picture of your favourite thing here.

I dislike blindfire, but when people blindfire, they dont expect you to move. Run around the other side they are blindfiring at and you are gold.

What is wrong with that? Oftentimes that is why there are holes and gaps in bunkers, to shoot through. Tell them to suck it up and find better cover.

If he can SEE you and hit you, you could SEE him thru the same crack and hit him. That is not blind fire.

blind fire-- sticking your marker around a corner without looking and firing.

To me shooting thru a pallet is legal in my book.

                                   good luck

The people at my field are all speedballers who are either wimps or use a case of paint a game. They don't let you shoot through cracks because they're either too afraid or that they need too much paint to get the person out. And when I say too much in speedballer terms, it means 6 hoppers full over the 5 it normally takes.

What? This is actually an issue in places?

If I can get a paintball through it, I'm going to. Trying to put limitations on when and where you can shoot is just stupid. I think we all grew out of making up rules as we go when we hit puberty. This really makes me think of two 8 year olds playing cops and robbers, arguing about who got who.

Completely asinine.

Personaly i dont like the idea of putting your barrel through cracks in a speedball game. I have been shot many times through holes in my bunker in a game, but i feel the should be solid bariars that you can only shoot from the left, right, or top, not through. In woodsball, its more tactical so i would do it every chance i get.   Just my opinion....

I don't recommend it. Not only do you not know what your shooting at, (duh), but you can also scratch your barrel if you pull out the hole to fast.
