    oh and i also think when u have a good player with a not so decent gun, the gun will limit the player.

      It 80% the player. Once you get to a good reliable, and tight gun that shoots 6 bps then the gun stops mattering. Everyone can shoot alot but If you can't hit anything then it doesn't really matter. One thing, a really good electro trigger has greatly boosted my rapid fire accuracy due to me not having to make such hard movements that I did with a mechanical trigger. Call me a spazz, but when just my trigger finger spazzes on an electro trigger the gun doesn't move off target very much.

        Isn't it amazing how often you'll find this topic throughout AO?? Anyways, i agree with shartley about the elves!

        And Sheperds we shall be / For thee, my Lord, for thee / Power hath descended forth from Thy hand / Our feet may swiftly carry out Thy commands. / So we shall flow a river forth to Thee / And teeming with souls shall it ever be. / In Nomeni Patri Et Fili Spiritus Sa

              I think it is the player, cuz I can rock in the woods with my RT, or my spyder, or a tipp, or a phantom...if the gun shoots consistent, the seassoned player will compensate for the flaws in order to win, such as I do.

                    Player.

                    Thanks Shartley for expanding on what Keebler said about a nascar driver and his '80 mile an hour' race car...

                    I'm getting lazier and lazier with each day. Too lazy to post up indepth debates. =p

                    Are guns (better or worse) a factor in the performance and style of a player; and have the ability to influence, even to a great extent the contents of a match? Yep. I don't deny that and I don't think anyone can.

                    Is it 'the' deciding factor in a game? Nope. No matter how many scenarios are offered, even the one where the 'better' player loses. The player(s) decide the final outcome of a match.

                      Well if the Spyder had a freak on it, he would win.
                      Ok, the gun does not really matter much but I have play with a guy that plays with Am A and he always plays with a pump on his field for rec to even the score. I cannot even count the number of times he has said "If I was shooting a Semi, you would have been dead."
                      Next I think comfort with your gun is very important. I had a leak in my mag setup and needed to sling a lot of paint and I wanted a lighter gun for something at the latest scenario. I used my backup Pirahna with a small CO2 tank. It was lighter but could shoot just as fast. I couldn't hit anything though because I was not used to it. I switched back in 15 minutes. If you have a consistant gun that you are used to, they are almost going to get the same result. So it is the player, but having a decent gun is also a must.

                          Its the player... but just in case I spend ALL my money on the best marker I can find.

                          Some day soon (modular emag) it may be a 'Mag again.

                            It's the player. The guy that walks the field, knows the angles is going to be able to make the right moves to put himself in a position to make the winning shot. Having a reliable marker and knowing it's abilities and limitations doesn't hurt either.

                              It is definately, without a doubt the player.
