Paintball on next 'SAS desert'

[TOOLE]

The only problem is that the SAS use paintballs to simulate real guns & bullets. Real guns have something called RECOIL that is barely present on most paintball markers, so you get high accuracy in long, fast strings of fire. You try holding an m16 like a pintball gun and fire it, you would either dilocate your arm or break yourw wrist.

So you cant really compare

SAS are pussies in CQB's so are SWAT. Give me a few seasoned ballers and I would take them on anyday. Like for like of course in a building, then just watch them stick their foot round the corner and if you dont hit that, then the elbow appears. Punters.

You are joking right?

Before you say it, I know there are alot more armourments that they use in CQB's thats why I put like for like.

I can feel a reality TV show coming on

thats a load of arse(sorry)
M16 have virtually no recoil and they were designed they way, they are super light and virtually no recoil...now a shotgun...yes

 

[joe bob]

and bullets dont bounce....

 

[TOOLE]

the recoil doesn't come from the gun, unlike in paintball, it's the explosion inside the gun from the BULLET that creates recoil, in reality the lighter the gun, the more adversely affected to gun is, as it takes less force to move the gun around.

Try watching ANYONE fire an m16, with real bullets or blanks on full auto and see if they can hold it reasonably still... it's virtually impossible. (unless of course you're in a movie )

did anyone see ' the carrot and the stick'

where two types of people, trained in 2 different ways,
one of the teams was formed by the Marines (i thhink)
and the other team was formed by spiritulists (sp)

we should go on this show and have
Paintball v SAS... in combat.. and see who wins!

 

[ChiZZerS]

i have always wonderd if a paintball player would be a more
effective fighter in a war?

 

[joe bob]

seeing somone snapshooting with an mp5 would be entertaining....

but i think the ballers would not be used to the concep of a 30 rd magazine instead of a 200 rd hoper
