HAHA! I was just thinking that a couple of threads ago.

First off, no snipers.

Secondly, once you hear the shot, you usually can move and dodge the paintball, unless the shooter is like...3 feet from you.  And 3 feet is no "sniper" distance.

**EDIT** Just in case he decides to remove his sig, this is what it said-

Once you hear the shot, it's already too late... A5 Sniper

If Devil removed it without anyone else knowing what it said, I would look foolish.

I know they've been around.  My point was the presenters in the videos make it sound like they invented these wonderful new devices...even stumbling over what to call the cyclone feeder as they obviously don't have a clue what to call it, but don't want to call it it's actual name.

sniper n. A skilled shooter detailed to spot and pick off enemy soldiers from a concealed place.

ALSO

sniper n : a marksman who shoots at people from a concealed place


Hate to break your bubble but there ARE paintball snipers.

Not the extreme long range snipers like you see in the movies, but any player that can conceal thenselves well enough to pick off an enemy without being spotted IS a sniper.  In fact the definition says NOTHING about being able to shoot further than other people, just being able to pick off your opponents from a concealed position.

I hate to dredge up the debate, but NOWHERE is is said that a sniper must shoot from an extreme distance.  Only that they be concealed and accurate at the distance they plan to shoot from.

Ever been shot by a guy you didn't see until AFTER he shot you?  Guess what, you were sniped!!!  Even if he WAS only three feet from you! (Over 10 feet suggested in reality of course, NEVER shoot anyone point blank)

Anyone that thinks that it means some extreme distance should stop watching so many movies.

 

And oh yeah, you WILL get arrested if you shoot someone with those pepperballs.  You have great trust (or are foolish) to shoot them at anyone, even on a "private" field.  It is still illegal there and if someone wants to press charges, guess what, they will stick.

Never fear things that go bump in the night.

If it means you harm it will stalk you silently.

Just for kicks I called their 877 number and guess how much they wanted for the barebones "TAC-700" (A-5 in reality). They wanted $899.99!

I have seen so many different definitions for a sniper on here so dont use that as proof that there are snipers in paintball.

ALL paintballers "shoot from a concealed location." Even speedballers. What do you think we do? Stand out in the open, hoping to "Matrix" anything that comes our way? Dictionary null and void.

Reminds me of whiteboard comic when doc give someone a pistol and they are doing flips and cartwheels with it wearing a black trench coat.

the whole conceled location shooting, at every scenario i go to, no one does its all baragge paint at eachother till someone is out, mmmm much like speedball, and no iam not agreeing or disagreeing with paintbal snipers, iam just saying, you cant use conceld location as a strike against it, and most certianly range, just cause it doesnt have a range of a gun doesnt mean they cant hit ya in one shot( I play SC so i know all about it), form a location unseen by others. which i think in definition is a sniper, and even the whole every ones gun fires the same range, cant use that either, and caue well in ww1 and 2 every one had bolt action and semi auto rifles that fired the same range, but not everyone was a sniper, only those who were better than others at shooting. again iam not siding iam just telling you how all your points are stupid and well if someone wants to be called a sniper let him he will probably out grow it.

and i know my grammer sucks so  if you want to use it against me be my guest.
