The issue is not so much “not feeling the hit,” as it is the
fact that ghillie makes breaks much less likely. This is why many fields dictate that any hit
on a ghillie suited player is an elimination irregardless of breakage.
Definitely, but it is much easier for fields to make a
blanket rule than something excessively complicated that spells out the rule
for each and every type of ghillie suit. Oh, and I can attest that I have also seen ghillie suited
players take advantage of the bounce factor to remain in when they should have
been out.
The countering point that is being offered/supported by the
militarily experienced members is that the “sniper” tactics the supposed “paintball
snipers” use are not sniping tactics at all.
Instead they are standard basic infantry skills. Additionally, using a ghillie is not a skill. Using it correctly takes skill, but the ghillie itself is just a piece of equipment. One that by its nature not only has very limited use for paintball but also has the potential to facilitate cheating. Edited by Mack - 30 January 2008 at 12:34pm |

False. Those are basic soldier skills. Any one of us who's been through basic in the military knows about cam and concealment and basic small unit tactics. Anybody who's read an issue of Action Pursuit Games knows about it. Anyone with two brain cells to rub together can probably figure the basics out on their own. There's nothing 'sniper' about them; snipers imply use the same basic soldier skills as the rest of us, except that they elevate them to a degree of mastery that not all soldiers possess, and then add them to their specialized equipment and training. In no way does this B.S. 'sniper' parallell carry across to paintball. |

Yikes... I think the subject was...? Oh yes, a ghillie suit. Link: http://www.ehow.com/how_2075094_make-ghillie-suit.html Seems pretty straightforward to me. I might have to give this a shot when summer rolls around and I've got nothing better to do. |

woah guys relax no need for insults. Obviously the preaching part was sarcasm, it was the "he deserved it" that i found offensive. Either way it was a mis-understanding on my part. I agree with you guys on the non-sniper debate, i just fail to understand why people get sooo angry at those who even mention the word sniper. Edited by Zippo25 - 31 January 2008 at 1:21am |

Ignoring ignorance just makes it possible for it to spread. |

Not necessary. Carl's law: Any thread on the Tippmann forum involving snipers will be derailed and will be no less than three pages before it is locked. |
