I was thinking- maybe linking a whole bunch of squadbuster paint grenades up to a piece of fishing line and have them suspended about 8-10 feet up in a tree with the line attacthed to their pins so that it would act like a tripwire and have the grenades come down on whoever pulls it, completely obliterating them? Of course this would have to be used in woddsball/scenario games, but it's an idea. ------------- If my answers scare you, perhaps you should cease asking scary questions. |

This is why they have paint mines, also with the squad busters you need to get some pretty good force to get them to go off.

I had no idea there were paint mines. Got any links to websites where they sell them? ------------- If my answers scare you, perhaps you should cease asking scary questions. |

Except that they don't explode. They spray. |

I searched, and the special ops website has all kinds of stuff, including upgrades to make an A-5 into a true mil-sim paintball sniper rifle, and they have a paint rocket launcher. At just under $400 bucks, I might consider getting it. ------------- If my answers scare you, perhaps you should cease asking scary questions. |

Oh God, here it comes. Look, before you put any money in "sniping," I'd rethink the position... ------------- Evil Elvis: "Detrevni is definally like a hillbilly hippy from hell"

I tend to play more woodsball and scenario games, so sniping has been more practical for me than just running willy-nilly around the woods doing a spray and pray. ------------- If my answers scare you, perhaps you should cease asking scary questions. |

| But the markers all fire the same range so I am putting out 20bps and running on you I will prolly win. |

yeah despite the one-shot one kill mentality, firing 20 balls, gives you 20X more chance to hit than one ------------- <just say no to unnecessarily sexualized sigs> |

Here comes the sniper talk.... But, you really shouldnt put down like $450 on a gun that "looks" cool, but is extremely heavy, slow, long, has bulging parts and has pointless accessories(sp?) like Barbie. -------------

That's why I chose the Ironhorse- it looks kick ass and it serves as both a sniper rifle and assault rifle. Plus the hook left/right feature on the apex barrel has really begun to afford me some amuzement in the form of annoyed opponents who thought they were safe behind trees. ------------- If my answers scare you, perhaps you should cease asking scary questions. |

in speedball rof might be a factor, but beable to HIT your target is kinda important too... and i hate to say it, but if you call yourself a "paintball sniper" im going to laugh at you everytime you post... i love woods and speedball, ive played against angels and ions with a regular mech tippmann 98, and i dont feel out gunned at all, guys guys seem to think you have to shoot 20 bps to be good at speedball, i played about 12 speedball games in an evening and shot less than a hopper of paint, and only being eliminated once. rof isnt as important as accuracy. ------------- 98CP ACT R/T J&J Ceramic 14" Egg II w Z-Board GTA Inline X-Chamber NCStar Red-Dot Pen Spring Mod Trigger Stops Polished Internals Dye Sticky Grip 20oz Co2 w On/Off Next Up: Spimmy |

20 bps and running = paint everywhere but the target. Calm Phantom user + aggressive tactics = dead Langslide I'm not calling myself a sniper or anything. Just don't underestimate those of us who choose to use less paint. The idea that firepower alone wins games is moronic. -------------
