        Yes and No... :)


        A good player with a crummy marker is still a good player.

        A good player with a good marker can be a great player.

        A 12 year old with a brand new Angel who hides in the back and never shoots...( I think You get the idea.)

        P.S. -- This is not a knock against all 12 year olds (Just some )

            It is almost completely the player. IF the gun shoots straight, is relatively consistent, and is reliable then it doesn't matter much what type it is or how fast it shoots. A good player can hit what they are aiming at and expose as little of their body as possible doing it, they also make the moves that are going to advantage their team.

              I agree that is mainly the player, but alot of it is a mental thing. What I mean is if I went out there with like a stingray i would do alright but i wouldnt have as much confidence as if i went out there with my mag or just any other high end gun, because weather or not you admit it you put alot of confidence in your equipment.

                I think the gun is only as good as the player.

                    There you go, killing our chance at fame :) No one was sposed to know.

                    OSM: I got a bunch of them from some people i know that are selling their old field pump guns. PM me if you'd be interested in buying one from me. OR you can also get em on ebay... they're also the same marker as the ACI Maverick, which are a little more common on there. You think the marker is a hard find, try and find barrels, or better yet, the chameleon auto-trracer s/a conversion kit. Not many people can say they have one still :) I suppose one could argue that "wanting" one is the real issue.

                        Yeah, I was never at one of the indoor big games though. 160 people in one of those "rooms" would be really weird. From what I've been told about it, you gotta let the 12 people in front of you get marked before you can take a shot.

                            Well... If a gun can move, think, and fire by itself then it's better than you... try going one on one against any gun without a player... I garuntee you'll win... lol

                              I would have had Gary (and the win) too, if I was using something larger than a 45 round hopper on my PTExtreme! Sometimes you have to stack the deck against yourself and prove you can stand the heat! Admit it: just about every team that played us underestimated us because of our guns.

                              Our agreed upon team goal before all the games was to not get maxed, which only happened once. Other than that, the low/no tech guns worked and in my opinion, prove the point of this thread by showing it's the player, not the gun.

                              In fact, Animal and I have gone 2 on 3 against what I would consider pretty average rec players using the Extreme and a pump and walked away with wins. Three years ago, we probably would have lost.
