I'm of the opnion that pumps on arena fields lend them selfs to a higher more intense fatser pased game.
I'm also of the opnion that Stock players can compete with top pros if they are good enough. Last weekend I, along with some of my other pump teammates practiced with The Bushwackers. Last time I checked they were considered a top (or at least highend) pro team. Sure, when they played well as a unit, I got hosed. But more often that not I was able to win gun battles because my snap shooting skills are more finely honed. Semi players tend to commit to spitting out a long string of paint when they come out to shoot. They start to shoot, I fire my one ball, and come back in to my cover while they empty their hopper, Repeat until my one ball breaks on them. No big thing.
I Shoot people with who rely on suppression all the time. They give me the time to do it.
Come out and watch a Pan-AM stock event. That is some intense paintball. Sucks that it's 3-man, but I play what I can get. The is no long drawn out phase where everyone is trying to suppress everyone else. It's just alot of movement and a few shots until one team is up enough to bunker out the remaining one or 2 players on the loosing team. I've also made some of those games very exciting to watch by being the last one left and wining a 3on1 by moving and shooting accurately. Best of all people watching can fallow the games much better.
Practicing the x-ball format with stock class guns has been insainly fun, but we tend not to take it to seriously, I'd love to play it for real.
Oh and if we did it how I wanted, everyone would have to use 10round tubes and horizontal feed guns (rock and cock) so you wouldn't have to worry about some one like tyger putting out 8-9 bps.
When good players take any bunker on the field they want and use it well, it makes for good paintball.
ok, I'm done.
