Pro Carbine..... Barrel...... 16 or 20???

FYI in woodsball there is def room for "snipers" only they arent called snipers... more like midfield backup.

Alright, the paintball sniper has been an issue since longer barrels were invented.

True.

I myself am a "sniper" for my team.

Doubtful, unless you are redefining the normally accepted meaning of "sniper."

That doesn't mean I sit there on a tower, and take long range shots at people.

So you don't take long range shots . . . which is the primary connotation of the word "sniper."

You're not ging to do this unless you have a Longbow.

Why pray tell is the possession of a Longbow so vital to this?

I actually play the role of "ghost flanker"

Then, by the very descriptions that Spec-Ops uses, you are not a sniper.  You are a flanking element that is used to engage opposition units once their location has been fixed by the initial engagement element.  There is nothing about this that meets the common understanding of the term "sniper."

[Screw the article, not worth the hate.]

I got here to late to know what article was linked, but please note the complete absence of "hate" in this post.

Any barrel over 14 inches won't improve acuracy. They may decrease range and efficiency though.

True.

And Bland, don't flame without explaination.

I'm not promotin their products. They're all **edited**. I don't have any of them.

Then why would you make a statement that makes it seem having a Longbow is so vital to successful paintball participation.

And that's why I used " " when I said sniper.

Using a term with a certain accepted meaning in a manner which indicates you're not using the accepted meaning seems a little unnecessarily confusing doesn't it?  After all, if you're not using the accepted meaning how is anyone else supposed to know what you mean.

Fine then, I take it back. I'm no sniper, I'm a flanker.

Probably a lot more accurate given the style of play you seem to prefer.

C'est bon, tout ca?

Edit:

And nevermind the Longbow. It's not worth the flaming. I never realised you guys hated specops so much.

It's not about hating Spec-Ops, it's about expecting people to support/back-up their statements when they make them.  (Apparently, in this case, you can't.)
