Bounce, debounce, gun cheats...easy solution:

Well, any tough, old-school paintballer will just squint.

Problem solved.

And 26 knows all about tough, old skool p-ballers 'cus he carries their pods for them. After he asks nicely, that is.


PS--26, Tippmann had an FA back in the day and any R/T was as good as. Course the Tippmann had a hand crank on the loader to wind up the springfeed and the R/Ts were sorta like Wagner power painters with those slow old Revvies up top.

Oh yeah, those Tippmanns were pretty sweet, they had double-clicky things on top.... yeah, I'm pretty sure that's what they called 'em........ the double-clickey things. Admittedly, even though I stand by my old Automag, those R/T's should've stayed on the drawing board. All they did was create more anti-AGD sentiment. Yep.

Paul, I'm flipping off my computer...... okay, now I'm facing southeast and flipping off your general direction to cover all the bases....... alright.

Tell me why ROF is a safety issue please?

Sorry to be slow responding, I've been away drinking beer and tequila in Mexico with the most beautiful women ever... oh as well as playing paintball in Monterrey with Dynasty and some NYX players etc. Tough life...

FA would stop a lot of the electro cheaters for sure, since most are cheating to get more shots out of their guns.

You would also see 'real amounts of paint' and consistent sustainable ROF go through the roof compared to what you get now, even compared to the cheater guns.

So yes, it would stop a lot of the cheating.

Am I in favour of it? Nope, FA is far more of a safety issue than high ROF in my opinion.

But that said I have played FA and it is fun. But then I also gets kicks out of playing stock class...

Sure, the old-school ballers would do that. But these young whippersnappers today all think they're rock stars. They're getting soft i tell ya! Just look at what they wear

Nowadays, they complain if the ground ain't perfectly level! Back in my day, we played in the woods, with rocks, and bears... and snakes...shop goggles... (mumble mumble)... oil-based paint... (mutter grumble)...

Think about what a big string at 30 bps on your goggles will do to your eyes, right after the first few ball break the lens...

Nothing whatsoever, because the first few will not break the lens. Nor will a whole hopper of balls from what I have found.

Next point?

How about the ones after that?

Whale- You sounded like Rancid for a second there.

B5- Try to turn your head before #30 hits you in the eye.
Yeah, you think this guy's winkin', but he's just got really slow reaction time.

Oh, you mean after the guy reaches around, gets a pod, reloads, and then continues to shoot you in the face?

Well if you haven't gotten up and decked him, I think at that point the police ought to arrest him and take him away to jail for assault.
