manchester,
wats the best way to bunker your oppositons back coke can
either runing from the back or midfield i know about streaming a line of paint into the back off the bunker while running to keep him in but i just dont want to either miss him as i run pass or both get hit i want to get him 100% with out getting hit my self
its all about spacial awaresness, where the oposition are looking at that moment in time and if the window of oppourtunity opens...

lets say for example a whole team is looking in one direction then you would be able to run up the opposite tape line without anyone shooting or even seeing you, but that is unlikely unless its down to a 1on2 / 2on2 etc...

also reading the paint, what the oppopsition are thinking, if the opposition have it crossed up when it comes down to a 2 on 3-4-5-6-7 and so on the last 2 remaining players should 'cross it up' make an x of paint, but obviosly not keeping your lane going all of the time, if this is the case it is almost impossible to bunker out people...

alot of people say look down your tape lines, but if you do that someone can come through the middle and bunker out of of you, imagine you did use an X of paint and watched each other tape lines then nobody will be able to come down the tapes or come through the middle get me?

so yes it all comes down to timing.. reading the paint/where people are looking and that edge to just GO 4 IT.

your teamates can set you up by making a destraction so that all eyes turn on him while you either run up the field as much as possible or obviosly bunkering out your opponent...

you dont want to be shooting his bunker while running up to it other wise he will know that you are coming and may turn on you, only shoot when you can see him (give him a suprise)

i asked ryan greenspan about this and he said go up to the bunker, see which way hes shooting and then make your decision whether to go left or right.

lets so for example it comes down to a 3 on 3 and your players are all on the 30's and so are theirs except for one person who is in the fifty snake, you should send the closest man to go and bunker him because that way if your man bunkers him and he doesnt ge shot thats great!, but if they both get shot then thats also great!, because then it is neutral again rather than them having the advantage, get me?

glad to help.
peace.;)

Yeah, chances are that if hes looking the right side of the bunker, he'll shoot you... To be fair, its quite likely that even if he isnt that he will spin and shoot you as a reflex/attempt to mess you up lol. Thats why its important to carry on running when you've hit him so that if he does turn and shoot you, he only gets your back and then any marshall with half a brain cell will realise what happened...

lol yeah. thats the thing, you cant really describe how to mug someone over the internet as there are SO many differnt things to think about. You need to vary your speed and path, rate of fire, target etc depending on exactly whats going on in the game at that specific moment.

the funniest thing iv ever done was the game ended up as a 2 on 1

i was back right, jordan was back left and kyle got into the bishbash......jordan was fairly new so he didnt know what to do so i fired a few to put kyle in and made my move.....gone running and slid past him mugging the hell out of him....or so i thought.....he turned around and started to mug me...and then jordan came running to mug kyle....and in the end we all realised before anyone amde a move we ran out of paintballs hehe

Easy way of making sure you get him 100% is training, training, training.

practise lanning of the break. look at the field, it will give you an ide of where to lay paint down.

apart from that, u cant tell any one how to bunker your mirror, it all dpens on how the game pans out.:)

im specificly talking about a man standing up behind a coke can which is slightly more difficult than someone kneeling down in say a teabag as you can go over the top off him none the less im getting some good advise here

as i said there is no real way of doing but on your instincts

in a split second you have to decide which way you want to go round the coke can its a 50/50
