Sniper/ military guns really make a difference.

And don't think pump=accuracy or sniper(well kinda, I'll get into that). I don't know why we get all this hype seeing as how most pumpers know this fact. And if you hear the term sniper when in a pump conversation. They may mean a pump autococker. Which is called a sniper.

Most pump players actually aim, while many semi players "walk" lines of fire into a target. It leads an observer to easily conclude (falsely) pumps are inherently more accurate.

Actually by the number system they would be more accurate. The number of shots fired / the number of shots on target would make it more accurate.

Now technically how one goes about getting the balls on target as you said... Semi's walk the line over... and pumpers more or less aim the gun for the best shot that they can get.

I'm with Kruger on the fact that Speedball and air bunkers dont' interest me. I prefer natural terrain and "war" type games. Is it really war??? HELL NO!!!! You wouldn't bunker me I guarantee ya that. But the Football, Soccer field look/game isn't for me. I prefer the woods, the scenarios, the missions, the props, the good fun that comes when your opponent comes over and you both chuckle at the moves you just made tryin to get at one another... That's much more enjoyable to me than the sprayin 25BPS into a bunker to keep the guys head down while he gets bunkered or the "Lane Shooting" that goes on.... Would it happen in a real WAR??? Yes most def!!!! But I go out to have fun.... If I have a great time with great folks and we can all laugh and chuckle at the end of the day then no matter how the scores look we all feel like winners cause we accomplished the ultimate mission. Have a Great Time!!!!

I dont' begrudge those that get into it pro and do the TV sports shows and such.... I applaud them for the training they go through and the skills that they do have. It's just not my thing. Those of us that have played both will like one more than the other depending on what we feel like that day. It's all opinion as to which is better.

WOW!!! Long post.... oh well... I'll close it now with a go out and have a great time, play fair and it'll always be a winning situation...

I'm gonna go jump out of a plane now!!!!

Pumps tend to be more accurate if you're measuring a shots/hits ratio. But if you're measuring by how long it takes to shoot someone out, generally it's close to the same (in my experience). I'm talking rec ball here. I've noticed that playing with a pump is definitely a disadvantage, as you can't hold heads down to move, but most of the shots I make are easy shots. I move up, I see someone's butt sticking out, and I shoot it. Probably I'll hit it first or second shot whether I'm using a pump or an electro. Lucky shots from across the field aren't all that fun anyway. You hardly ever see them hit, so you get no gratification.

Going back to the idea of maneuverability, it's one of the reasons I really like playing pump. In addition to my marker weighing far far less, I also carry ~2 lbs on my back instead of 8. I am not a big fan of cutting every last ounce of weight for the lightest possible marker, but dropping a large chunk of weight really does help you get to your next bunker.

I personally don't like any extra thing on my gun so I think mil-sim is overated for improving gun performance in the areas of accuracy and range {as some have already discussed in fuller detail so I won't go there}, however I think some guns are easier to aim and keep on taget because of the ergonomics, and the way they work. I happen to use a 4x4 old school shocker, and an R/T Pro. both seem to be equal in range and consistency, however I really prefer the shocker over the R/T in terms of accuracy due to it's balance, heavy weight, low recoil, and the long barrel{helps in aiming}. So as for practical value mil-sim is not so great,it's aesthetics mostly.


Give it your best shot every time, all the time!
