Back to the roots, back to the fun..."days"....

I always loved playing hopperball, it made me pick my shots better and I didn't have anything extra to carry around. These days I play almost exclusively stock class, partially for that reason.

How about a point system along with limited paint? Build the teams based on total points, like so:

1 point; Pure stock class pump. 10 round tubes, 12 grams etc.

2 points; 12 gram 10 round semi pistols or open class pump

3 points; Pure mech with nothing more than revvy hopper

5 points; Any electro.

Imagine 5 stock class players against every electro player. That'll even the playing field just a wee bit.

Better bring the wooden spoon!

Lol, yeah nothing like a ball wedged in between your bolt and the breech. A dowel works well too.....

Paintball has always been an arms race, even in it's genesis. When somebody was sick of having to reload one 12 gram at a time, they invented the six-pack. When people got sick of reloading ten balls a time, they came out with the stick feed (which game way to the hopper). When people got tired of the turn-bolt cocking system, they found out how to bolt a pump on. When people wanted rapid-fire, they shaved the sear down and invented the Auto-Trigger. I'll admit, with the fast Electro's, it's easy to see why people get turned off to the sport. As for the event your planning, I'd just have everyone play with gravity-feed hoppers, or just allow Mech's only.
