I seriously hope that I'm mis-interpreting what you're saying there. Calling oneself a "sniper" implies that you are a camper with the lofty ideas of being some sort of Tom Berringer-esque one-against-one-hundred one-shot-one-kill schmuck who thinks that they're somehow "better" than someone who plays aggressively and uses a bit more ammo for a higher hit count. It certainly does not make me think that the said "sniper" is mature in the slightest. Just poorly informed and disillusioned.

It is possible to get those one-shot-one kill shots off every once in a while, but seriously, what good are you doing for the rest of your team when you're sitting in some shrub for a half-hour while they're slugging it out and actually taking firm real-estate? You aren't going to demoralize the other team with a lucky shot. You aren't going to hold up a whole flank by yourself indefinitely, you're just going to be patting yourself on the back for getting lucky once-or-twice and for how cool you think you look in your home-made ghillie suit while the rest of the guys are doing the real work. Give me a DM and 1,000 rounds and I'll punch a hole in a line and cause more chaos than any "sniper" ever could.

I understand what you both said but you may have misunderstood me...I am a sniper by not camping because but by remaining silent and slinking around the feild and fire off a hooper or 2 of paintballs when I need to....But all I'm trying to say is that it doesnt matter what you think that a sniper is lame or stupid....or if a person that go s straight into the fight with my ION or old Spyder...but you both can just say that both are equal and both are EXTREMELY deadly on the field #IF# they know how to play their position well.

We are saying that regardless of what Spec Ops sold you, snipers do not exist in paintball. Term is incorrect, if you want to discuss your playing style, reword into an accurate portrayal: Is it you prefer to outflank the opposition?

You know what makes me laugh the most about spec-ops and their silly little titles? There are names for the "positions" that they think they've created that have existed in the sport from almost day 1. If you flank, you're a tape-runner. If you're right in the thick of it, you play forward. If you're in the rear calling the shots, you're a back-player. If you change up your roll, then you're mid-field. If you hide out in one spot and only get one-guy-per-game and it took you 5 minutes to line up that one perfect shot.... you're a freaking newbie because all you got was that one shot before a veritable plague of paintballs rained down on you from all the other guys on the field.

Are you planning on getting an A5?  You dont really aim in paintball.  It gets back to the "no snipers in paintball" idea.

I agree. Spray and Pray ftw!
