this is what commonly take place in the marker gallery section of the forum, i think alot of you agree, that it should not be going on
when ever anyone posts a gun thats woodsball orientated, "speedballers" always have somethin bad to say, there are at least 3 ppl in each of these that say, "hey woodsball sux", so im just gonna say this, yes i like to play speed ball every once and a while but i prefer woodsball, what has paintball come to when your not only focusing on the game, but to look "good" and not ruin your butiful/colorful jersey, in woods ball, alot of it is about not bein seen, hence the camo and low profile guns/gear now light colors, so next time you see a woodsball gun, "if you dont have anything nice to say, dont say anything at all"- my mom. and the woodsballers barely ever say anything bad about speed ball guns.

minus all the jumble, he makes a good point. It shouldn't matter if you like woods or speed more. If a guy likes woodsball and you don't, don't flame him. Or vice versa. It's pretty simple.

How dare you take the "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all" quote as your moms, it was originally said by my 3rd grade teacher, she even had the words posted over the door that you walk into everyday for god sakes!!!!!! 
lol j/p, but the usual woodsball player argument that I hear is that, woodsballers are "more manly" because they go play in the mud and such. They also say that its pointless to buy highend guns and waste so much money on all the paint they use during speedball games.
Anyway, this topic has been done before where I wrote about a 1/2 page defending speedballers and such, so not much more to talk about here.

thats because usually speedball guns are more expensive and have more "features", all speedball guns work fine in the woods, but woods guns never work too great in speedball
------------- erm, eh, well, ok, your right, i am sorry Enos, i dont know what i ever did, but you have jurasdiction over the forum, so, i am sorry for all i have done to offen you Enos

Maybe Woods-ballers got a better overall appreciation of the sport than do Speedballers , most of the negative comments I have seen , have been SB'rs dissing something they know nothing about .
I play SB with my 98 (even tho its almost all set up for desertball , no woods where I live ) . I like both styles of playing , they each have their own unique challenges . Woodsball is a more difficult game to master , IMNSHO . Master both games , then you have a right to Flame ,maybe...

Well I like both but usually don't like speedball unless it is a big course not these tiny ones people have in their backyards.And I do prefer woods over speed because it feels more like stealthie kind of game which I like.And for all of you that say oooooooo join the miltary then just shut-up because you know you suck at woodsball.And if I was old enough I would join the military.Five more years And I can.

First you put down speedball and then say "if you have nothing nice to say, dont say it at all". That makes me mad. Come to #paintball so we can talk....
