Accuracy by volume?????

[Phantom_Allstar]

Whats the deal here?? I am a stock class player.
I don`t get it!
I`v only been on AO for about 2 weeks but I am seeing alot of people (on AO and on the field)that say things like "accuracy by volume is the only true way to get eliminations" and "I just spray and pray"
I don`t understand why it seems like everyone just points and sprays untill they hit someone.....I know that I play dif. game than mose people becuse I use a pump but I`m geting just as many kills and helping my team just as much if not more than the guy with the $1000 angel in the stand up on my right(and no I`m not geting eliminated in the first 2-3 min. of a game nor am I playing woods, all speed ball/hyperball)......why do people need 15 bps let alone 18 or even 20???
On a skill level I know that if I`m geting just as many eliminations as that guy in the stand up then I must have more skill right?
And even on a cost of play level I pay
$10 for field fees
$1 for co2 or less
$15 for paint ...marbs
and what about the guns?
I have a very nice Phantom
$220 new
$60 in up grades not just stuff to get my gun so I can play with it but things like clear pump handel and clear ball feed

and that guy in the standup payed what
$10 for field fees
$1-5 for his air fill
$60-100 for paint or more
and
$800 for a used electro
$60 drop foward
$80 reg.
$150 for a used HPA tank?
thats crazy. now I`m not saying everyone should go out and buy pumps, but what hapined?

Can anyone help me understand?

Don't let it get you down dude, I know exactly what you mean...


Nice Phantoms btw... really pretty.

here's Mine: The UnderDogg by Punisher.
It's a work in progres...

[TheBigRaguPB4L]

well it's all the type of game you play. Do you play tourney's or do you just play rec/speedball? If you just go to the walk-on speedball field, then yeah, you mighht do just as good as any other guy. You go against some decent teams with those angels, i don't think you'll get very far. Some big part of strategy is shooting enough paint to keep the person in their bunker. Believe me, i agree with you. I am a back player and i still don't really lay paint down like i should. But anywho, wanna sell one of those phantoms?

[FeelTheRT]

cuz tourny paintball is no longer guys in camo running around in the woods. It all requires high ROF and all the accuracy the gun can achieve.

[RT_Luver]

I just like to shoot

[AngelBoy]

What do you not like more when you pop out of a bunker:

1. Seeing one paintball go by your head.

2. Seeing 18 paintballs go by your head.

Another reason is hitting people on the run, another is if you play back, you must lay down paint, paint, and more paint. The guy in the right stand up behind you might be getting less eliminations, but he might be opening up lanes for you or your teamates to run/shoot through. If you are snap shooting, you don't have time to aim, you pop out and shoot then get back in, its gonna be hard to hit someone with one shot everytime you pop out.

Yeah, Thats what my shocker can do. I can approve of the accuracy by volume. Thats how I play...Some people don't like the fact I play like that, hey if they don't like it, I got some anal lint.

[~Backdraft~]

hey if they don't like it, I got some anal lint.

Anal lint?..WTF? lol. Anyway, I have no problem w/ accuracy by volume. Sometimes ya just get trigger happy ya know? One drawback from this philosophy...it costs $$$!!

Maybe to a certain degree, we (and maybe paintball manufacturers) are worried your right. I agree that it does take more skill to shoot with a pump. I just have fun the way I play. Isn't that the point? Besides we're all big boys and girls, and if people decide they can't afford it anymore then things will change. Like the price of paint will go back up....

Phantoms and MAGS o my!!!

The 2 things I need for a great day of paintball. Play with the stock class more. But for tourney MM516 takes the field to woop woop!!

my thoughts too.

`cuz it's fun! Albeit more expensive.

Honestly paintball is simulated war games and as such to get closer to the real thing we have semi and full auto on our markers. Besides, I'm sure the marketers and retailers love us for shooting so much paint.

[RT pRo AuToMaG]

why have one shot one kill? did you take a break from paintball for a couple of years? it's simple, if you can afford 2000+ rds of paint a day, spray and pray. if you are cheap, or if you can't afford it, take your time and get the perfect shot. It always seems that people with the less expensive guns are complaining about the ROF, spray and pray, electro markers, ect. if you can't keep up, go back to the woods.
