so according to your logic, a newb with a cyborg or some other awesome gun would destroy an experieced player with something like a low end fenix or even a tippmann....i dont think so. A gun is nothing without someone with skill holding it |

You need the skill. But a good gun that can match your skill can help. But if you have the skill you can still win with any gun(unless it has problems, or its a BE). 75% player, 24% gun, 1% Luck ------------- You call the Eagle, Eagle does the rest. |

As long as the gun fires when the trigger is pulled and it shoots accurately, your skill level will determine whether you win or lose. I do about just as good when I play with my pump as I do with my other guns. Why? Because the gun will fire when I need it to and I know the right time/place to shoot. I'm sure most people don't consider an SL-68II to be high end but even if I played with a cocker or an electro I'd play the same way. The only time a gun will make me lose is if it doesn't work properly. If the gun chops like crazy or is terribly inaccurate then it will mess me up and I won't be able to play to my potential. As long as it can put a shot where I aim, I'm fine. I don't give a crap about ROF or any of that. It's good to be able to shoot fast when you have to give cover and stuff but otherwise, it's unnecessary. But anyway, trust me on this. I've seen plenty of fairly new players go to the field with expensive guns and I've taken them out of the game with much less firepower. The reason is because I'm more experienced and I know what I'm doing, they don't. They may have more firepower but if they don't know how to use it then they're not going to be nearly as threatening as a guy who's very skilled and uses an entry level gun. ------------- oreomann33: Everybody invades Poland Rofl_Mao: And everyone eats turkey Me: But only if they're hungary Mack: Yeah but hungary people go russian through their food and end up with greece on everyth |

probably because your buying a name. For example, why does a harley davidson cost so much? Because of the name. It doesnt mean it's the best, but that name has built a reputation, just like the name angel, e-blade cocker, and shocker. You hear those names and everyone of us automatically thinks of a great gun.

The answer is simple, because some people are too dumb to question the price tag and will pay outrageous amounts of money for a gun. A high price tag doesn't mean a thing. I could buy a stingray II and try to sell it for $1000, that doesn't make it a good gun at all. My friend bought a dragon timmy for about $1400 and he has so many problems with that thing. My $400 98 is more reliable than his timmy and the only advantage he has is ROF which I couldn't care less about. I can hit like 10 bps and that's plenty for me, I rarely even need to shoot that fast, let alone faster. People love to buy things just because they're expensive and assume that they're paying for what they get, which tends to be wrong in most cases, and these companies love it because they're making tons of cash off of the ignorance of their customers. A lot of guns being sold at high price tags should really go for hundreds cheaper but they keep their high price because people will pay it. ------------- oreomann33: Everybody invades Poland Rofl_Mao: And everyone eats turkey Me: But only if they're hungary Mack: Yeah but hungary people go russian through their food and end up with greece on everyth |

Ok here my take on this. The gun can help the player alot
depending on the type of person. Take me for example or anyone
who has a low self esteem, they will know what to do and how to do but
dont apply themselves because with there gun its almost as you just
dont want to try because you think you suck. I played one day and
did alright next day I got my angel did very well. I was applying
myself and playing bunkers correctly. Either i got really good
over night or my new gun gave me more confidence. It may sound
really dumb but is true for me and others I know. A couple weeks
ago I played and was doing good then my angel stopped working and had
to use a rental and I wasnt doing things right I was scared to make
moves....... Think it about it and it makes sense for some people

it's all about skill. YOUR WRONG, IM RIGHT! i think it is all about skill, i could send one of my friends out into a paintball game and they will have a angel, or a dm5, and they would loose, because they dont know any good tacticts. It takes time to build up experience and be able to conquer the competition. Some people think by buying a high end gun, they buy the years of experience, i know that i can beat a spyder anyday, a a-5 anyday, and a spyder electro anyday, becuase i spend more time on skills, and i know that buying the gun does not make you that good. I have a tippmann, and it may not shoot fast, but i can still kick a dm5 or a angels ass if i really tried. |

It's both. Sometimes the gun and sometimes the person. Look at Tippmann Effect. They have Tippmanns and have gone against really good teams and have beaten them. That's skill.

so the guys that are saying its all in the gun consider this: theres more skill then just pulling the trigger. you have to aim and be able to manuever and have guts; that all takes skill. a newb that can pull a trigger on a $1000 gun will not take out a pro with a $100 gun. the gun just better enhances the players skill. -------------

I've played speedball with my pump before and have done just as good as other players using mech/electro semi-auto guns. I'm not saying that I'm an amazing player or anything but unless a pump is considered better than say a cocker then I definitely didn't take these people out because of an advantage in firepower. They shot at me at whatever ROF and I shot once every few seconds back. Why did I get them instead of them hitting me? Maybe I was a better shot, maybe I'm better at playing tight to the bunker, maybe I can dodge their shots too good, maybe they're blind and couldn't hit me if I aimed the gun for them, who knows. What it came down to was a difference in skill, proving that having more skill can be more advantageous than having more firepower. I see people with "low-end" guns and rentals taking out guys with super guns all the time. ------------- oreomann33: Everybody invades Poland Rofl_Mao: And everyone eats turkey Me: But only if they're hungary Mack: Yeah but hungary people go russian through their food and end up with greece on everyth |

To get all philisophical, the gun should be made to fit the player's skill. A person who loves to take a few shots is not the best equipped with a spyder imagine (well...nobody is best equipped with that....) and a guy who loves to "hold the line" and be rambo should not have a phantom. The skill should determine the gun and it should be a part of the player. I'm not saying the gun doesn't affect the outcome of a firefight, but the player makes the game a victory or defeat But I have solved this entire dispute. Take a man off the street and lend him an angel. Next get an ex-navy seal and give him a bag of paintball.

So what you're saying is... that every time I took my nearly stock A-5 (just a LAPCO Bigshot) and won against a kid with an Angel, Timmy, Shocker, BKO, or any of the other electros I've encountered, it was luck. Most of the people at my field do shoot extremely fast guns and I can still consistantly eliminate 4-5 people a game on a good day. You know nothing.

Equipment reinforces your skill, and vice versa, more skill though. But nothing comes close to the importance of good communication and teamwork. I don't care if you're throwing paintballs, if your communicating better than the other team, you have a better chance of winning. ------------- It seems like all the cool cats do this: Custom 98, Flatline, r/t, CAR stock, custom camo paintjob, which every hopper I feel like putting on it, vertical adapter, oh dibs, I'm running out of charact |

I say its 70% skills, 25% gun and 1% luck... My reasoning is because it takes skill to have the reflexs and aimging to shoot some one .. the gun is important also so that your skill can work and your paintball wont go flying in another direction.. its also a little luck of popping out or cathing sum1 from behind.. thats my reasoning

You people read way to much into jokes that are made on this forum. But its all good, Its how I have fun on here. And of course I havent been in a real war. Im 16, and I play paintball. If I wanted to play war, I would do airsoft or enlist. What kind of question is that. This thread is to old anyway. -------------

im on a paintball team called team impy cuz most of us have impulses(except me i have my perfictly good tippmann). the three of us versed 2 people with basically stock 98customs. the only thing done 2 their guns were 14 inch barrels.those guys beat 2 rat impulses and a hooked up tippmann with stock tippman 98 customs. we got beaten so badly. I think its 99% skill! ------------- Black Vengence Autococker 12v revvy hopper clear 14in All American barrel Karnivor Feed Neck Black Rubber Bottom Hose 50ci/3500psi n2 tank |
