It's technique mate...I mean, you have bigger fists than me, so less pen to push...what you do...is once the pen bites in...open up and push with your palm...keep the momentum going and you should be able to achieve full PENetration...or depending on the target, get it out of the other side.
As for the sword, I can only recommend Nihonto...a well made Katana, can pass through both hip bones and out of the other side, when swung correctly
...seeing as that is the strongest part of the human form, you have to respect it.Wiping = Bad
Velocity ramping = Disgusting
Ramping..well...= Undecided
As Tommy says cheating has a consequence. It can vary from loosing a couple of places in a tournament to loosing thousands in sponsorship because you didn't qualify for the cut last season.
Its way outside the rules so why is it seen as acceptable?
I watch a lot of football and the way everybody dives at the slightest nudge is becoming tedious to watch but imagine if that player then came on TV and bragged about it. There would be outrage and the governing body would certainly act.
I'm not persil white but but I look like an angel compared with a lot of players on the circuit nowadays

"anyone can wipe"
Sure anyone can wipe if they want to but 9 time outta 10 they will get caught. You have to learn to wipe properly i respect players who can do it well using there initiative. To be honest i would prefer the game not to involve cheating at all (i play golf and you wouldnt dream of cheating in that game probably due to it's history but even the top golf professionals bend the rules a bit) but my position is that there is no way your gonna win at the top level unless you do it aswell.
And it might seem shallow but i play to win not to lose and if i have to wipe a few hits to do it i will. When the marshalling in general get better and everyone starts getting caught i will probably stop, but if i can get away with it i will do it.
If some guy i shot wipes a hit and we lose a game because of it you have to just take it on the chin nothing you can do about it, i mean dont spectators like to see a bit of controversy in the game makes it all that more interesting.
I respect you guys views on not liking the cheating and saying its really stupid or immoral cause its the same view i had when i got into the sport, but u need to get with the times tbh.

Watch Goldfinger and see him try to get away with cheating on the golf course. Now imagine him doing that so the crowd can see but Bond can't. Everyone's obviously going to be standing up and cheering Goldfinger on, saying how skilled and great he is because he
a)cheated
b)got away with it, and
c)won because of it.
At the same time we could rename our sport "Cheatball" and rather than a player be eliminated for getting shot, he should be eliminated only when a marshall catches him wiping. That's a great way to promote it. Spectators will have the villains they love to hate, Cheatball will skyrocket and it'll become an olympic sport in no time.

Pragmatism at its most insidious.......
i think your missing my point mate, we are discussing cheating in the game now, paintball is no where near being an olympic sport and i believe that your . And yes i agree with you cheating will have to be stamped out for the game to become more popular than it is already but even then i think cheating will still persist. The world we live in just doesnt live up to ure moral and fair expectations.
you could ask any top person in the sport and they will say that to be succesful you have to do what the top players are doing and at the moment that involves wiping, if you dont wanna thats fine i respect your decision, but personally i wanna get as high up as i can and win as much as i can so i'll do what the guys at the top are doing cos it seems to work for them.
