Dont listen to them Jimmy, this forum is over run with speedballers that cant appreciate anything else, i like the gun, i think it could use a little more camo actually, where the bare netting is. Camo isnt supposed to be pretty, it actually serves a purpose unlike speedball gun looks....good job 8/10 |
You're so right 98ball, you and Seawolf have been the only sane and/or educated replies in this thread.
I got the replies I expected though =) I generally use the A5OG, but occasionally post my latest marker pic here for a bit of a laugh, I find it funny the way the kids here find ways to pick apart whatever your post. And on the other hand there is a small minority of mature people who do actually use the Tippmann forum.
Now for all you speedballers, or 13 year olds, or 13 year olds who play speedball also, let me tell you the basic fundamental of 3D camoflauge...
* Camo isn't designed to hide you or make you invisible. It's designed to make you and your equipment harder to recognise to your opponents/enemies. Take a look at the pic of me in my gear....
The gun is well camoflauged. Why? because it's harder than usual to recognise the shape and colour of it.
My head is camoflauged. I have camo netting hood on. This makes my head harder to recognise. Typically your opponents are looking for the familiar shape of a human head wearing goggles.
My body is camoflauged. Digital camo (marpat) is the latest stuff, and it works. Even at the extremely close range the photo is taken at, it's becoming tricky to pick out where the foreground ends and the background begins.
Now try to imagine all this from 50 yards away rather than 5 feet away. Harder still.
This concludes today's camoflauge lecture.
BTW- I liked the "looks like it's covered in seaweed" remark, witty... but IMHO you should look for the strong points also.

^^^  You sir, should refrain from speaking any more nonsense about seaweed because the only thing it reveals is you ignorance and lack of skills in being funny. Sarcasm is expected but not every post has to be sarcastic.

dude i think ur camo is great and that it fits ur woodsball status.......
for all u speedballers who basically shouldnt be on this forum in the first place b/c u dont even apprietiate tippmans in general, u should stop complaining about woodsball looks mainly b/c u dont even want anything to do with it....so why complain, its not like u will be playing against him anytime soon.... and just b/c his gun isnt all shiny and crome dosnt mean that it looks bad.. I personally think the shinny look of the speedball guns is stupid and its ugly but that is just my opinion.
and yes i do play both speedball and woodsball and have nothing against either, i only have something against the the people who complain about the other...

yea u may say the flatline isnt that accurate.....but it dosnt matter when im spraying 50 balls at you.....one is bound to hit..

after hearing what jimmy wrote it changes my mind about camo but i just dont like the looks of it on mine or ur gun,or at least on a paintball gun.maybe if u were in the military out in iraq or something.paintball is suppose to go fast,if u were good if someone saw u u shouldnt need them to stop and recognize u.u shpuld just be able to shoot them right away,unless u were a 13yr. old,like jimmy says

Just for record... I actually "don't like it" either (the shaggy camo job). I think it looks very messy, but I've tried it out to see how well it actually works. I have a couple more pics of me with my A-5 that I haven't posted... and it's apparent how practical the camo actually is.
It doesn't look pretty, but it WORKS.
And none of you are going to be playing with me unless you're going to fork out for a large airline ticket. Take a look at my location & sig pic... see if you can figure out where I live.
Just one thing lastly, a few of you guys sound like real good dudes (and some sound the opposite), if you good-sorts are looking for a totally awesome PB forum, check out A-5 owner's Group (A5OG.net), even if you don't own and A-5 or even a tippmann. The whole forum is made of mature paintballers and moderators, no flame wars etc.
