    Yeah I agree...everyone goes trigger happy and its part of those certain people not calling hits and playing on. Solution: you shoot the hell out of them in hopes that they decide its not worth the pain. Problem is everyone treats it that way. I was walking away from the ranger base and i got ambushed. Instead a single shot, me checking the hit and calling out - which is what would have happened being as the first shot broke on me - instead i get a series of seven and from not more than twenty feet. It was a little irratating because i dont like being over shot. Hit me once and it breaks..im out. Plain and simple. You dont have to shoot a hole through me or blow an arm a leg off.

    I was on Rangers as well with Grimm and Watcher. I was rockin a Tac One with a warp. GRimm had an emag with warp and Watcher ran an RT pro with warp. Then we ran into a another guy also running an Emag with a warp. AGD convention! It was nice to see the mags though even ur pump, Magslinger. I have a minimag thats pushing ten years old and i was actually considering turning it into a pump.

      I was on ranger side. Spent most of my time in the tank with my warped emag, and some time with my ion..
      we left around 3 when the rain started coming.

      It was the only tournament I've been to where they have more cases of beer than paint. - gimp

        You should have stayed through the rain, the four of us Warp'd-Maggots led a patrol out of the village. 5 of us would have been unheard of!

        I did see you with that Piranha Long-Barrel, you're the only person I know that had brought one (I had brought mine too, but I could not bring it on the field because it was shooting hot. I was in a bit of a trance after playing the Gauntlet, but if you would have said something, I would have most likely snapped out of it. I wish more people from here would come down to foxpaintball, it is one nice place (aside from the spiders, and muddy paths). I'd go to another game, but school has me at a disadvantage.
        Mine was a little hot as well, but I got there at a little after 6 in the morning and I hit up the chrono before registration while no-one was there. I was the first one in the range.

        On a CO2 tank the first shot was 303, then 310, then 306. Took the gun apart, gave the spring one clip, then 275 +/- 3. Perfect!

        It shot a little lower off of a 12 gram, but I think it was the temperature (cold that morning and the 12ies were sitting in a box in my Jeep overnight), but it performed very well on field.


        Yeah, Fox is a great place. I've met more nice people there than anywhere else. I only wish I didn't live an hour away or I'd show up for more open days. As is I just make it to the occasional scenario.
        I live closest to CPX and while it is a cool field it is outrageously overpriced and the staff can be disconcerting at times.

        But for weekend games you can't beat the 1 speedball field 1 scenario field BYOP Family Entertainment Center down the street

          There is no doubt about it, pumps are becoming more popular. I would say that at the places I play, about 1/3 of the players are pump. The remark I hear most often from pump players is that they love the lower cost of shooting fewer paint balls.
