http://imageshack.us"> Well I dont know about you but Hoppers vacum. There big, temp you to shoot all 200 rounds, and always open in-game, for me atleast. Well I found some PBC and I started experimenting with this idea. My father tryed to help me and broke the PBC in half and that was all I could fine so this is as far as I got. Im not planing to market this idea or something, would you use it? Counstructive Critism is greatly welcome BTW: It would be rounded at the 45* angel |

| I think it would be a pretty good idea for the woodsball sniper. Not so much for the tourney player. I'm sure some snipers would use it though. |

| Well im not the riches of them all so I have to use limited paint any way so I wouldnt just use it all in a game. |

someone who would use this wouldnt be worried about running out of paint...picture a lone sniper...deep in the woods...just waiting there in full ghille suit...along comes the "prey", lets say his name is bob. all of a sudden---pop---pop---pop...three shots ring out and bob gets toasted. thats what this would be used for...not some a5 w/rt thats crazy!!! ------------- If you define cowardice as running away at the first sign of danger, screaming and tripping and begging for mercy, then yes, Mr. Brave man, I guess I'm a coward. |

sniper sniper sniper...its not the military sniper (using ultra high powered rifle shooting from 5 miles away...) but using sniper tactics...sneaking up and making every shot count

but sniper is a position to be played, stealth is an attribute im sorry, but that is my stand in this argument, and the only way to change that is to kill me...

this is my only point here...paintball is a game...call it a sport if you like, but all sports start out as a game. now...out in geekland there certain games
where people can be elves dwarves etc. now....if i can be a
wizard elf in the land of karakas, why cant i be a paintball
sniper??? its the same kind of idea...whether or not it is real
it is what i want to be... also, this is the internet...the virtual land of uber free speach...why the heck cant i call myself a "sniper" if i want to without calling down the wrath of god upon myself??? huh??? huh??? and no, im not a special ops baller...i just dont enjoy bieng forced into a certain narrow mindset that i dont believe... in conclusion... IF YOU WANT TO BE A PAINTBALL SNIPER, USING STEALTH AND SILENCE TO ELIMINATE YOUR FOES ONE BY ONE, DO SO...THAT WAY YOU CAN LAUGH IN THE FACES OF THOSE THAT TRIED TO DENY YOU THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE!!!! Hoorah!!!!!!! ------------- If you define cowardice as running away at the first sign of danger, screaming and tripping and begging for mercy, then yes, Mr. Brave man, I guess I'm a coward. |

well, its just taboo here. im not sure why, it just is. i will admit, however, the wizard on karakas is an argument ive never seen before. i will duck out of this argument for safety's sake. good luck. ------------- Evil Elvis: "Detrevni is definally like a hillbilly hippy from hell"

hey, is there a thread where newcomers can come and look at....not really rules, but, i dont know............. ideas of things not to discuss..... such as: sniperism, shotguns, paintball knives, etc... basically tell them about anything that will get them yelled at...im wondering because i think that if this kind of thing is their first contact with the forum they might be turned off and never come back..... also, there could be some links to places that dont shun the things that are shunned here.....if not, i think that there should be one... ------------- If you define cowardice as running away at the first sign of danger, screaming and tripping and begging for mercy, then yes, Mr. Brave man, I guess I'm a coward. |

ok yeah it would work but it would be cooler if u got like a REALLY weak spring and glued it on the end cap so it would be like a spring fed mag and you wouldnt need to point the gun down to shoot it. ehh? -------------

| I do some senario games where your only allowed 5 balls and its in a small wooded area. Its fun cause it takes more skill and if your aims not that great you gota get close up. But anyway..Instead of people using your pipe hopper they could just put in a small amount of balls instead. Of course people still may buy it if its a low cost thing |
