camo debate
To cammo or not to cammo........that is the question!
It seems to me that we're back to the old (and ultimately pointless) debate of which is better....rec/woodland or tourny/sup' air. The only people who really seem to feel that strongly either way about the military aspects aren't members of the public but the paintballers themselves. Cammo really isn't important in sup' air but it's an integral part of woodland. It's horses for courses and when it comes right down to it the public still see "guns" whatever the format and the military element will be there however much you try to get away from it or play it down. How many people who play paintball in the UK actually play sup' air? It's a very small proportion. The majority of players are going through their local site, generally on a Sat or Sun. If you play responsibly at a UKPSF site that follows their Code of Conduct and transport your kit sensibly then there shouldn't be any fear about negative feed back about military style gear. I prefer woodland but we play sup'air from time to time and I wouldn't slag it off just cos it's not my cup of tea........it gets the game a lot of good press.
Before anyone gets ripped in........you may not agree with my point of view but with 16 years playing and 5 years running SPC full time I'm at least entitled to my opinion for what it's worth
