That was long-balling. Not sniping.

sniping is almost non existent in paintball, long balling is the correct term. sniping is one shot one kill.

Exactly.
"Accuracy by volume" =/= "Sniping" just because it happens at a longer range.

Hey, don't pick on The Reaper, he has a cool title.
On a serious note: Using an old forum persona to complement the actions of a newer forum persona (even in jest) is the epitome of lame.*
*The only thing more lame was that guy who used the same forum persona to complement himself a while back.

DeTrevni,
We know you're fans are only people you lured in with the promise of sexual favors. The fact that they are all alternate personalities of the same person makes the consideration of your repayment of those favors very disturbing.
Eeeew!
(Thinking about other things now.)

FE/Reaper - Fail
it only takes me at most 3 shots to pull off a shot at that
distance with my PMR or one of my cockers with my .689 14" Kaner using RPS Premiums.
i'll take you on and show you whats up. You shoot too much with not a lot thought other than getting as much paint out as possible. Even when i play xball i dont waste paint that bad.

I will let Mack post his own rebuttal as he doesn't need my help and is actually more eloquent than I. As for my posts, you will find MANY that I do my best to help people to the best of my knowledge with their problems. However, I do at times get a bit testy with every noob that comes onto the forum asking:
1. Which barrel is best?
2. What are good upgrades for my ____ (98C, A5, X7)
3. How do I become an Uber Sniper"
4. Should I get a 30" barrel and a Gilli Suite? (mispelling intended)
5 Etc.
Yes, at times, it is probably best to just let it go and I have many times lately. However, a simple statement by me mentioning that perhaps the poster do a modicum of research and read the stickies, look through the first couple of pages of the current forum, or use the SEARCH feature isn't flaming. It's letting the new member know that maybe they should be a little more self sufficient.
The thousands of threads and responses to them are valuable information, use them.
Regarding this particular thread, there is history behind it and anyone that has been on here for any length of time would realize that FE and I, and some others have somewhat of an ongoing 'poke the dog with a stick" contest going on. Most of the posts between us is meant, for the most part, to be polite jabbing. In some cases not so polite. Of all the posts where none of us was laughing, I find it funny you point out the one where I think we all actually were.
As far as this being a commercial venture, it is a free forum. Tippmann makes no money from it and it is here actually to help people find answers to their problems, and have a bit of fun at the same time.
Lastly, I think your registered user name violates policy, so I am guessing you will be deleted shortly.

For future reference, the above is flaming/putting someone down.
As OldPBNoob said, it is funny that anyone would take this thread seriously as we were all pretty much just having fun with it.
On a serious note, correcting misinformation and telling someone to look up the most basic information themselves is not flaming.
On a less serious edited note: I am wondering which regular forumer is utilizing the above pseudonym to pull our chains.
