You guys seem to dislike camo...

[tim_c]

I'm strangely suprised that tourney players haven't twigged that standing out like a sore thumb is effectively a written invitation to get shot... Bright masks, luminous hoppers and pods, polished pink barrels etc.

I'm not talking woodland camo here, as the principle of camoflage applies to any surroundings... so why not use blues and yellows to make yourself look like a bunker??? It could buy you half a second, which might be all you need.

Surely any possible advantage should be pursued, especially in a competitive sport?

As a comparison, footballs have evolved from dull skin coloured things, throught white, to become bright yellow or orange things... purely so they can be seen, and kicked, faster. Do you want to be that football? Do you want your opponent to be that foot?

So if i say to my team right lets all buy red kit then we go play on a yellow field then we are screwed

Woodlands i agree with you , sup air thats complete ****

I would guess that until you arrive at a lot of fields you do not know what colour the bunkers will be. Also if you knew the field was yellow and both sides were in yellow the speed some games go you'd not know if you were getting mugged or your player running by you.

I just wrote a really elaborate reply but I really cba to post it

Bunkers are all different colours and so it would be difficult. Also, you are behind a bunker with as little showing as possible and so camo isn't really a consideration. It's not just colour that makes people stand out but their shape from a bunker and no matter what type of DPM material is used it cannot do anything against this.

Therefore, there is no point, hence we dress is whatever we feel sexy in, well, in the line of paintball clothing rather than tu-tu's for some of you.

I know, why dont we cut arm, leg and neck holes in bunkers and actually pretend to be bunkers?

Sort of Metal gear solid style.. 'huh, ah its just a bunker' then POW you jump out and shoot them in the face

Does'nt 'AGG' stand for 'A Gay Guy'?

 

[tim_c]

You have valid points about bunkers being diferent colours, and differentiating between teams... but some kit seems to be deliberately aimed at making you stand out. As a noob, it seems very odd practice to me.

So when you are not a 'noob' have another think about it.

Think back to when you posted this and after you have been to tournies and think to yourself, hmmmm, maybe those guys had a point.....
