yes you are very much right but the only thing is some sharpshooters are also considered snipers it is a common mistake i think the only way you are a sniper(besides the long range auacy[sp]) is if your gun is custom fitted to you and to your specifications

I think we need to define 'sniper'. Sniper, within the military, is generally considered to be a person who engages targets with single, effective point shots at long ranges. You can do this with most rifles- some guys in my unit can get headshots at 500yds with 5.56 assault rifles. Snipers within our establishment though mean those who are specifically trained to do this while operating independently. A sniper will often wait days in one spot for their target. Does this happen in paintball? No. A seperate term we use though is 'sharpshooter'. A soldier who, with our standard issue rifles (A Diemaco C7, in case anyone's curious) can fire very accurately at decent range, and effectively engage targets with little ammunition expenditure. They will often emply 'ambush' style tactics to engage a target at mid or short range. Is THIS possible in paintball? absolutely. With my flatline I can find a spot in the woods along the enemy axis of advance, adn wait. Eventually, a couple of them will get within a hundred feet or so, and I can effectively engage them, generally elss than 10 shots at a hundred feet to take them both down, adn that's to make DAMN sure I get them- generally in this case each gets hit two or three times. This tactic can often be confused with sniping, and I think that's what we're dealing with here. I tend to view speedball as a light machinegunners' game- firing out lots of ammunition in shorts bursts to suppress targets or catch them in the open. High rates of fire and massive ammunition expenditure for relatively little real kills, but a high degree of suppression. Woodsball, however, belongs to the riflemen- those who can effectively engage targets at mid range with accurate, limited fire. They can do this on the move, defensively or offensively, or wait in an ambush. It doesn't matter as long as it works. Now tell me that you can't do THAT in paintball and rack in the kills. |

ive seen too many to count lol, the difference is now is that its much easier to fight it off because theres alot more proof (and at the same time alot of dishonesty) in circulation that people just need to tap into.

Not accurately enough to land a one shot kill with any consistency. It's hard enough to get the shot on target and then you have to worry about it bouncing on top of that. Chances are you'll be wasting your time shooting like that. This reminds me of a funny story though. I built a practice field with my friends in a nearby patch of woods and just past the tree line was a baseball field where geese liked to walk around and "fertilize" the soil. Since there was nobody in sight and the geese routinely crap all over our field, we decided to have a little fun. They were at least 300 feet away from us so there was no way we could hit them normally. Since our field was at a lower elevation than the baseball field, there was a hillside right on the tree line. What we decided to do to test our skill as a team was to play artillery. One person held the gun at the bottom and guessed where the geese were, firing a shot in that direction. The other would be at the top of the hill and had to correct your aim judging by where the first shot landed. We actually hit a couple from quite a distance away like this, I wasn't expecting to hit anything. They weren't hurt at all, they were just a little freaked out. Edited by mod98commando |

ACTUALLY... With full arc, at 300 FPS, you CAN arc a paintball 300 feet or so. Without a flatline. -Tyger |

Dude, I would have trouble hitting you 3-5 times with my .243 (i know it is a piece of crap, but i am thinking of getting a 270 or a 30-06.) if you were moving. Now 200yrds is 2 football fields. Maybe 200 feet, but not 200 yrds.

I got the coolest idea.
How about this post is to remain as untouched and silent as a "sniper" |
