I was playing with some regulars at TNT in Victoria and at the end of the game I overheard them talking about the bump strategy and I was wondering how it worked. (Might be a dumb question, im kinda new)

Not really sure man. It may just be a colloquial term for a standard strategy. Never heard of it in all my time.

Probably how a person moves up, lays down some cover fire and the person behind the front guy "bumps" up past the front guy.

Just a way to get up the field.

if robocop is right, they might have been saying "bounding," or at least they should have been.

I have heard bump also referred to as leapfrog.  One moves up after and in front of the other and each lay down cover fire for the other.
Stay low, run fast, and hope that paintball doesn't hit your...

ive heard of "bumping" a bunker... if someone is leaning into a supair bunker you can slide into it and they will get knocked over then you come around and bunker them.

Haha, I would love to see that.

I might have to try that to my friend when he brings his field.

^most rules state if you touch a bunker your out. but sometimes people do it anyways.

key is to slide in on one knee so when you hit you can pop right up and tag um.
