I was playing with some regulars at TNT in Victoria and at the end of the game I overheard them talking about the bump strategy and I was wondering how it worked. (Might be a dumb question, im kinda new)

Not really sure man. It may just be a colloquial term for a standard strategy. Never heard of it in all my time. ------------- <Removed overly wide sig. Tsk, you know better.> |

Probably how a person moves up, lays down some cover fire and the person behind the front guy "bumps" up past the front guy. Just a way to get up the field. |

if robocop is right, they might have been saying "bounding," or at least they should have been. ------------- Tippmann 98 Custom Psycho Ballistics X-Chamber P.B. Drop Forward Polished internals Lapco Bigshot 12" Macro Line Rufus Dog Double Trigger Dye Stickies Polished Receiver Halves |

I have heard bump also referred to as leapfrog. One moves up after and in front of the other and each lay down cover fire for the other. ------------- Stay low, run fast, and hope that paintball doesn't hit your... http://www.deltasquad.info/">

ive heard of "bumping" a bunker... if someone is leaning into a supair bunker you can slide into it and they will get knocked over then you come around and bunker them. ------------- saving the world, one warship at a time. |

Haha, I would love to see that. I might have to try that to my friend when he brings his field. -------------

^most rules state if you touch a bunker your out. but sometimes people do it anyways.
key is to slide in on one knee so when you hit you can pop right up and tag um. ------------- saving the world, one warship at a time. |
