the war theory put out there doesn't really work in paintball. true, in combat if your gun was hit you may not be injured seriously or possibly even at all. however, your gun is gone, and now you have to find a replacement. until you do, you're rather useless. the easiest way would be to take a weapon off of another casualty. in paintball however, there is no way for a paintball hit to 'turn off' your gun and similate the destruction of your weapon. thus, hopper and gun shots should count. plus, in an arena, as has already been stated, the gun and hopper are often the only things showing. certainly in an arena our tourny setting, gun shots should count since they occur often. you can get away with it in the woods cause such hits don't occur quite as often. if you hunker down behind bunkers in the woods you're askin to get flanked. take all the gun shots you want, cause someone is gonna nail in the back if you stay there

Well DUH, if you outlawed hopper hits, AGD would lose some of their market to sell WARP FEEDS. They were thinking about outlawing gun hits, but then tom said NO! Because tom is the man everyone listened to him....

It's that simple folks..LOL

Without hopper and gun hits paintball would be very different. i know i play while keeping in mind that the hopper and the gun is a target. so i try to keep it from being shot at. i think that hopper and gun shots are needed so that paintball doesnt become laser tag where u can hide ur sensors and go unharmed.

I personally do not see the point in having hopper and gun hits count on the field. In fact, I downright hate it when I am called out for one of those lame hits!

Let me, and everyone else, know how you feel AOers!

save that for rec-ball. but in tournies a hits a hit.

blind shots dont count

quit whining and learn how to play. Tilt your gun whenever you shoot out from the top so its not sticking out that much.

Quit complaining. Get a warp feed.

phazeshifter,

Learn to play you bunkers.

If the Marker or hopper is hit then it is no longer usable. Just like you are dead if you are hit. Is that not so? Of course it is. So fine! Change the rule and lay down your marker and continute to play without it! That might be fun huh?

[Kaiser Bob]

Good call cphilip! New rule: If you get hit in the gun, you can only throw paintballs for the rest of the game! Also Hysperion, whats the deal with the Classic mag diss? Since when did not owning a SFL make you a newb!

What he said.

I don't feel robbed when I get hit in the hopper or gun, as it's just a game. It takes skill to shoot me out and hit what little gun I show when I play. Therefore, gun hits should stay as they are, allowed.

In fact, I hate playing rec games where gun hits DON'T count, because that's normally all you see when you are playing.

That's normally what I shoot for too, the hopper hanging out of the bunker.

Correctamundo Dark! And on a good player that is all you should be able to see to hit!

WARNING: Stupid reply up ahead...

Hehe...okay, think of your marker as your baby. Would you want your baby to get shot?
