Some years ago Tippman brought out their Flatline ot Skyball. They set up this shooting range that had a banner hanging in the center, the idea being that most semis had to ARC the shots, and htey'd hit the banner. The Flatline could sent paint out that far, no problem.
Ok, fair 'nuff. But we walked up with our Phantoms and Piranha pumps (old guns), and took a few shots. In my case, after one to get the actual range in play, I could hit thier target with my Phantom.
"I'm not impressed." I said. And, yes, it chronied at 280. And, I suppose that if you're not used to range like that, it's impressive. But, I can match it with a Phantom.
It was kinda funny to see players try to get as LOW as they could to arc a ball JUST UNDER the banner, and miss anyway.
