Skorpion317, you forgot to add the part where they dont exist if because nobody's good enough to shoot accurately or stealthily.

be careful using the "s" word on this forum. people dont like it. but i would say a flatline because of the range, but the only problem is its loud if you wanted to be stealthy.

other upgrades: remote, paint job, expansion chamber, military grade car stock, bi pod, sight or scope.

Maddawg101,  ALWAYS, remember to take off the multiple vote option/thingy. Obviously 64 people didn't say to forget about it.

\/ \/ \/

Everyone seems to think all a sniper is is a VERY accurate sharpshooter firing from VERY long distances. Wrong. Go look it up. That is part of it but its only one componont. In paintball, its changed a bit.

^^you guys are mean to each other.

n/e ways if you want to shoot farther, the only barrel that will help you out there is the flatline. my friend just got it and he had the velocity all the way down (by accident) and he was still out shooting my regular 14" barrel with my velocity a couple of screw turns up.

to intend to solve the arguing going on here, this is the official definition of "snipe" coming from websters dictionary.

Main Entry: 2snipe
Function: intransitive verb
Inflected Form(s): sniped; snip·ing
1 : to shoot at exposed individuals (as of an enemy's forces) from a usually concealed point of vantage
2 : to aim a carping or snide attack
- snip·er noun

http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va =sniper

thus making a sniped one who shoots at exposed individuals from a usually concealed point of vantage. technically, all practically all paintball players are snipers at one time or another. even speedball players could be considered snipers by the definition, they try to hide behind bunkers and pop out to hit people. bunkers are a concealment, am i correct? so we are all snipers but we arent really if everyone else is. its all a technical thing and if we want to be technical with definitions then technically everyone is right or wrong depending on how you looks at it. i know these arguments will continue but i may as well have my input liek everyone else
A5, egrip, cp barrel kit, check it asa, etc

Hey, at least you use good spelling and grammar. Most people that start threads like this act like poorly trained chimps.

Anyhoo, no snipers in paintball as far as I'm concerned, At least, in the way most snipers are thought of as being. If that makes ANY sense to you.

Kissxthexbarrel: Good post, but do a search, for the love of all that is good and holy DO A SEARCH ON SNIPERS BEFORE POSTING. You'll understand later.

</rave>

As for everyone else - Drop it.
Answer the guy's question and leave it at that.

Oh, excuse me. I'm so sorry that I have offended you, oh great master of grammar. At least I tend to use capital letters and what not.

Anyhoo, I'm done.
