The many types of paintball players: will be summarized in two divisions tourney and the i love to play types!

tourney

1. rookie-simple put toghether friend teams who just are starting with electric spyders and stock brass eagles!

2.novice more experianced tourney playas who have wisdom adn semi-nice guns like cockers and lower end bob longs!

3. Amatuer- the next up to be pro's these guys have been newbs and are well past that and compete in more than two tourneys a year. these dudes have top end markers like dye dm4 and bob longs.

I LOVE TO PLAY PEOPLE (65-70% of us0

the many types first off are dependant on speedball recball(in the woods for all really paintball challengend newbs) or scenario(WHICH I WON'T GET INTO TO COMPLEX AND MANY TYPES)

1 Sniper- a true sniper dressed in a gillie suit crawls and waits for his prey hidden in brush for over 20 minutes without moving and doesn't have a brass eagle talon!

2 wannabe sniper-one who has a long barrel and sits behind a tree trying to pick guys off at 400 ft! and has a spyder!

3 special ops-one who has a group of 3 or 4 and penetrates a line of enemy and gets flag or is just really sneaky! let off alot o paint get illiminations and run like hec!! normally nice guns with a few upgrades!

Lonewolf:
You know the type, one man armies at their best. Usually a very good overall player. Can hold positions. Good for offensive maneuvers. Can throw the paint accurately. May have a hard time working with the rest of the group but not always true. This style can encompass sniping and kamikaze and various others. Really a very strong player.

Dynamic Duo:
The Batman and Robin of the group, normally friends off the field. These players play so much together that they begin to rely on one another heavily. Great team work. Overall usually above average players. Able to hold positions and advance. Good offensive ability. They tend to lose it when companion is taken out. Strength in numbers, not too many weaknesses.

and finally you what r u please post pm me for any questions!

have a merry Christmas

Exactly ^.

Gun dont make the player, Player makes the gun.

I said this before, I know people, with Spyder Xtra's and sure they cannot lay down a hopper of paint in a minute, but sure can play some ball. I also seen some 10 year old kid, just starting, with a brand new $1400 Angel A4, he sucked.

I guess I'm a little confused about your response, was that meant to be sarcasm?   If so, come to Texas and play a "Rookie" tournament.   No camo or Brass Eagles here.   Just straight up ballers with paint hookups through National/PMI/Zap.   Full jerseys.  And hardcore skill.   You don't bump until 3 years tourney experience, 3 1st place finishes in one year or winning a series.

and yes the type of gun you shoot really doesn't matter to much!

its more skill
