hmmmmm, that sort of works, last time we had tourney markers vs site players, we used that rule (the punters were squaddies and asked to play us) so 11 tourney players vs 38 squaddies using site kit. We lost six, they lost 38, but at least they know how the Iraqis feel now.
The ten players you rattle with your shiney marker may be paying an awful lot, it may also be the first time they've ever played paintball. If they are consistently taken out by the same "regulars" they are unlikely to come back in a hurry.
Don't be the bloke that stops them coming back.

the points are in order of importance.
I'd move Reliability up to first spot. If your marker isn't working, you're sitting on the sideline :(

Accuracy and muzzle report are largely a matter of the barrel you use. Get an aftermarket barrel or two for your marker of choice and see what you like.

[gets out English-to-english dictionary] I believer punters are walk-ons or newbies [closes English-to-english dictionary and waits for someone to tell him he's a ****er, m8]

:D :D :D

PS - The frightening thing about reading this site a lot is you start to use English slang. I found myself calling my buddy "mate" the other day, instead of my usual "dude" :p

punters are people playing paintball using site equipment, and generally havent much if any experience

Yup, punters are paying customers at a a rec-ball site. Outside of paintball it's anyone who pays for a service/activity/goods. I don't think it gets used in America at all.
