Well I dont know about you but Hoppers vacum.  There big, temp you to shoot all 200 rounds, and always open in-game, for me atleast. 
Well I found some PBC and I started experimenting with this idea. 
My father tryed to help me and broke the PBC in half and that was all I could fine so this is as far as I got.  Im not planing to market this idea or something, would you use it?
Counstructive Critism is greatly welcome

BTW: It would be rounded at the 45* angel

I think it would be a pretty good idea for the woodsball sniper.  Not so much for the tourney player.  I'm sure some snipers would use it though.

someone who would use this wouldnt be worried about running out of paint...picture a lone sniper...deep in the woods...just waiting there in full ghille suit...along comes the "prey", lets say his name is bob.  all of a sudden---pop---pop---pop...three shots ring out and bob gets toasted.

thats what this would be used for...not some a5 w/rt thats crazy!!!
If you define cowardice as running away at the first sign of danger, screaming and tripping and begging for mercy, then yes, Mr. Brave man, I guess I'm a coward.

sniper sniper sniper...its not the military sniper (using ultra high powered rifle shooting from 5 miles away...) but using sniper tactics...sneaking up and making every shot count

but sniper is a position to be played, stealth is an attribute

im sorry, but that is my stand in this argument, and the only way to change that is to kill me...

(please dont kill me!!!)

this is my only point here...paintball is a game...call it a sport if you like, but all sports start out as a game.  now...out in geekland there certain games where people can be elves dwarves etc.  now....if i can be a wizard elf in the land of karakas, why cant i be a paintball sniper???  its the same kind of idea...whether or not it is real it is what i want to be...

also, this is the internet...the virtual land of uber free speach...why the heck cant i call myself a "sniper" if i want to without calling down the wrath of god upon myself??? huh??? huh???

and no, im not a special ops baller...i just dont enjoy bieng forced into a certain narrow mindset that i dont believe...

in conclusion...

IF YOU WANT TO BE A PAINTBALL SNIPER, USING STEALTH AND SILENCE TO ELIMINATE YOUR FOES ONE BY ONE, DO SO...THAT WAY YOU CAN LAUGH IN THE FACES OF THOSE THAT TRIED TO DENY YOU THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE!!!!

Hoorah!!!!!!!

well, its just taboo here. im not sure why, it just is.

i will admit, however, the wizard on karakas is an argument ive never seen before.

i will duck out of this argument for safety's sake. good luck.

true enough, and good analogy, but you said so yourself, its the virtual land of uber free speech so people can say whatever they want about snipers. im on your side and i wish evryone would just shut up and leave it alone. but theres nothing we can do about it so... OMG SN1P3R N00B!!11

hey, is there a thread where newcomers can come and look at....not really rules, but, i dont know.............

ideas of things not to discuss.....

such as:

sniperism, shotguns, paintball knives, etc...
basically tell them about anything that will get them yelled at...im wondering because i think that if this kind of thing is their first contact with the forum they might be turned off and never come back.....

also, there could be some links to places that dont shun the things that are shunned here.....if not, i think that there should be one...
