Ok, today was one of the most awesome days of my life. I went to the field and met Ryan, the field owner's son and a member of the Loose Screws. I have been talking with his dad for a while about trying out for the team. I helped out at the field since there were only two members of the team there and there was some kind of a birthday party going on with like 9 or ten year olds. I reffed, worked in the building selling paint refills, and helped put up some net for the target range. Then Ryan suggested I play alittletle one-on-one with Kirk(I am not sure if it is the right spelling. he was the other guy from the team). He dug around in his gear bag for all of his stuff, found it all, picked a Dark Autococker out of a Dark Angel, 2002 GZ Intimidator and the cocker, and finally came out of the building. I was standing there in a grey long-sleeved shirt, baggy pants, PMI X-Ray goggles,and cheap Wal-Mart shoes holding a 98 custom and weaping a ViewLoader pack that only holds two 100 round pods grinning. I knew I was out dressed, out gunned, and way out experienced. This guy plays tourneys. It was my fourth paintball outing. We walked out to the hyperball field and took our positions at each end of the field. The first game we spent about 3-4 minutes trading paint...him more than me. All of a sudden paintball after paintball after paintball started flying at me and didnt let up. I tried to look but there was too much paint flying at me. I heard it. The unmistakable sound of a 175 pound, 5 foot 2, Dark Cocker carrying, trigger happy, back player coming to bunker you. I couldn't do anything. He rounded my bunker and put 2 paintballs on me. I tried to prevent it, but I made mistakes only a new player like myself would. I let him get in total control. I messed up. We played 2 more times and then Ryan himself decided to play me. Ryan was way better than Kirk. After about 4 or five painful games, we decided to call it a day. After catching our breath I asked Ryan, "So, do you think there is any chance of me making the team?" and without looking up from the magazine he was reading he replied, "You made it." Kirk let me shoot his Dark Cocker, I didnt really like it that much. We went back to the building and he got out his Timmy. He let me shoot it. I loved it. Good range and fast, very fast. He had the trigger pull set dangerously low. Now after all of this rambling on about my day, I will ask my question: Why spend over 1000 dollars on an IR3 (like i was planning on doing if i made the team) when I can't pull the trigger 20 times a second, the GZ Timmy can shoot faster than I can pull, and the Timmy gets better range than the IR3?
I hope that someone will actually read this instead of just skipping it b/c it is long. I would really like an answer.
P.S.(mainly aimed at Robbo) Me and Ryan got into a discussion of who was the best 'baller in the world. He stuck by his idea that Lasoya was was the best, but I was and am pretty sure that Chris "Pretty Boy" Lasoya is no where near as good as the Robbo.
