Exactly; It is an opinion, as such it is neither correct or incorrect, but is dependent upon the viewpoint of the holder. I am neither a fan of flashy speedball jerseys or mil-sim, thus my opinion might be that both are a waste of money. But it would be just my opinion. A speedball player would probably consider the jerseys useful for the reason I mentioned before while the mil-simmer would feel that his equipment increased his enjoyment of the game and as such, was not a waste of funds. The fact that you are continuing to try and start an argument on this point despite the fact that no one is actually interested in arguing against you however supports my original contention that you are a troll. |

arguments are ussually stupid bickery this thread has turned into a
Discusiin which is when people state opinions or beliefs although I was wrong to not say in my opinion in my origional post I think that you are getting upset because you are forgetting that this is a Internet discussion forums notice discussion in that last sentence but notice that this thread has become discussion and like I said before I was in a rush to get to my job but since I dont want to turn this thread into stupid bickering I will state why I feel that way now the reason is because milsim doesn't help the marker and while you feel the milsim makes you feel happy people do not look at thier marker when playing The reason the font is wierd is because I am typing on my iPod Edited by a5Tpp789 - 03 March 2008 at 7:29pm |

Actually Stocks help me Walk the rounds on target better for when I am trying to get a ball in some opening in a Bunker. I use folding stocks so i can fold it out of the way when I need it. And extracted for when I need it. Unlike you I started using Firearms with Stocks so the way that HPA bottles are used as stocks for Tournament styled paintball guns to me feels akwards and it cant seem to get comfortable with it. The useless can also be said of snazzy anno jobs or stickers on Hoppers since they do nothing to improve a guns peformances it's just personal preferences. Same with Mag kits and other MILSIM bolts on it's all just player preferences.Same thing with getting a custom color for your car or new seats ect ect... |

Quite true. I don't think anyone here would classify the marker I have the stock on as mil-sim. It is just a marker system set up to allow for additional maneuverability in the thicker stuff I play in sometimes but to still give a stable firing platform when I'm in the open. |

years ago when I had a tippmann a5 I used to have a retractible stock
but I couldn't stand it because I play up front and I found that bulkey thing in the way but I never tried a car stock i probably would have liked it but I dont have a tippmann anymore In my opinion I prefer the tank more than anything else |

Hence your preference. Is there any point to any of your threads here? Are you hoping that one of the MILSIM crowd is going to 'Deliver' you to the good side. Paintball is what it is, it's what each person playing makes of it. I choose to adopt a more Military like Playing style. My team Mates who play Tourney ball choose that style of play and most of the rest of my Team has just adopted the Best of Both Styles making them ungodly good at playing Big Games and 24 scenarios. |

At what point would you guys regard someone as playing "milsim?" At what point would you start ridiculing those guys?
The gear that infantry uses reflect two purposes. Combat and camping. Is it wrong to have the combat aspects of that gear on? Do people really wear boots and camo and vests just for looks? Everything an infantryman wears (combat-wise) is designed to make combat easier and safer. Parts of guns are designed to make them easier and more ergonomic to handle. So what's the harm in someone's gear set if they are more comfortable with that type of equipment? Why ridicule people with sights if they help them aim? ...for stocks and shrouds (even mags as vertical grips) if they help them hold the gun steady? ...for boots if they protect their ankles? ...for vests if they make equipment quick and easy to access? ...for helmets if they protect their heads from the environment? I think too many people wrongfully accuse gear for being the problem. The problem is the milsim attitude. The people that try to approach paintball like real war. Gear does not necessarily reflect that. It's when people play as if the next shot will literally kill them. It's when they try to enact a strict chain of command. It's when they play as if our guns can shoot out to 300 yards. It's when they start wearing undeserved military insignia on the field. Those are the people you should be ridiculing, not just those who have milsim gear. Those are the people that ruin the enjoyment in games. Though I've never shot an MP5, I'm much more comfortable holding one than the formula paintball gun. My A-5 is set up similarly to one (except I have a vertical 3.5 oz tank in place of a magazine), and I'm an order of magnitude better at hitting targets than I was when I ran it with a bottomline. Aside from how much easier it is to hold the gun while doing a crouch-walk or while aiming while prone, I also get the addition of having aesthetically attractive gear that is out of the way when I need it to be. The gun is closer to milsim (not in looks) than any other .68 cal because I have no remote and I run limited paint. It even reflects my mentality that everything I have should be light and slim. Aside from the gun, the most bulky thing on my is my hydration bladder. Milsim gear is useful (heavyness is good sometimes). Milsim attitude is not. Learn the difference. |

But so what if I like to wear general's stars on the field? Isn't that my bidness? As long as I don't start barking orders at you, why should you care? And if I DO bark orders, what does it matter that I am wearing rank insignia? Getting yelled at by strangers is annoying, whether they are playing war or not. I can see giggling at the hardcore milsimmers they way you giggle at Trekkies, but the milsimminess itself is basically harmless - much like Trekkies. |

I meant more along the lines of individual units and whatnot. Unless you're doing a reenactment, you have no business wearing airborne or SAS patches and honors you haven't received. Rank is another issue. It's really no big deal because they're applicable to almost every situation. As long as you don't go about claiming you really are a general or whatever in some military force, it's no big deal. |

I agree to a point. I mean I am on a scenario team and we have cetain rankings for some people on the team that are indeed our team leaders. Just because we call them Commander or Captain etc. doesnt mean anything in real life. And I knwo alot of people who do only play reenactment styles so they have to act like a unit. But isnt any paintball the same way. Acting as a team is acting as a unit. just under a different name.
