Or the kid with the 98 that looks like a M4 and calls himself a sniper and sits in the back of the field the whole game scared to get shot after he spent 400 bucks upgrading his 150 dollar gun

hummm the happy days!!!

ok then rich boy, im not saying don't buy a nice gun, im just saying that people think the person with the better gun is always gonna win. my point is that people win by using skill.

why did you just turn this into a personal attack? If I had no job or money then how the hell would I play paintball at all? And how would I have Internet access? 

Your missing the entire point of the post. the point is that all the upgrades in the world dont mean anything if you dont know how to play. I have a 98c with a 14" barrel and thats all the money im putting into it. paintballs and co2 cost enough as it is.

 

This thread shouldnt really be here...its not a paintball idea, its more of an opinionated thread.

This reminds me of a conversation i had with a friend today. I am getting to go paintballing and am trying to get people to go. So i ask my friend who should go, and then we start talking to the preppy prople that we used to play with.
Well theres this guy that buys a 98C so he can paintball. It being his first time he realy sucks. On the way home (we were walking) he turns to one of my friends and says "man my gun realy sucks. I was hit like 20 timees and didnt hit any one" So next week we all show up and he has a 16" barrel and a cyclone hopper(? I forget what there called) Then he does a little better (becouse of the extra range) SO on the way home he is like "dude i did so much better this time." then i got sick and couldnt go for 3 or 4 weeks. The next week i went he had a flatline, responce trigger, double trigger, and he did alot of work on his co2 tank and connection.
Then im like o well and play against him and took about 10-15 balls to the chest becouse he would just enpty his hopper untill he hit something.

(This was about a year and a half ago) I was so mad i packed up my stock 98C and stopped playing untill last week. O ya i also havnt talked to the rich bastard sence.

He's got a point. While I'm all for perofrmance upgrades that complement your playing style and actual skill, buying a high priced marker, or dumping tons of money into ROF upgrades and relying on accuracy through volume of fire is jsut dumb. I've always maintainced that you should learn to shoot accurately, and then when you can do that, start improving your marker. My marker improvements have ALL been oriented towards accuracy- flatline barrel, Palmer's regulator, and a stock. The stock lets me shoulder it for stability, and the flatline with the regulated air ensure consistent, long range accuracy. I don't plan to get a doulbe trigger, and ebolt, response trigger, or anything of the sort unless I should happen to find a ridiculously good price on an RT. I know I don't have to rip 17bps, because I can do the job with just a couple.

Here's a story. On my first day paintballing out at a farm with a friend and some guys he knew, I ended up in a one on one against one of the hotshots from a local team, sponsored, the usual thing. There he is in his bright yellow jersey with a marker that can rip 20bps, and I've got a stock 98c, and am wearing military camo. We're on a speedball field, and I'm intimidated as hell. Now, he's used to laying down lanes of fire and slowly advancing, but I broke the right flank right of the start, got halfway up the field, caught him by surprise, and got him inside my first three shots when he tried to bunker me, despite him laying down a thick stream of fire- all because I'd taken to time to learn how the marker shot earlier in the day, and because I have a antive shooting ability. The look on his face was pretty priceless too.

Moral of the story, learn to shoot the marker you've got, and then improve it to add on to your existing skill- don't get atricked out marker and hope your ability will catch up, because you'll never stop relying on the crutch of a high ROF.

What're your milsim and sidearm markers, out of curiosity?
