the player or the gun

[halB]

as long as the gun shoots well, shoots straight, and shoots hard its all good. as long as someones using a gun thats semi automatic, consistant, accurate, and is able to belt out as many bps as the competition it doesnt matter. and a lot of guns out there from 100-1000 dollars will do the same thing with just a few upgrades.

Mostly player.

The marker helps, but it's the guy behind it that makes the whole think work. There are guys out there who play with Phantom SCs in NPPL events and consistently place respectably. I would be damn near scared to face one of those guys with a semi, forget about an electro.

To paraphrase someone on stockplayers.com, if you can do well playing stock or pump, you will be a monster playing semi.

I think the player has the skills, but the equipment makes a big difference too.

For example, you could be the best player on earth, but if you are using an inconsistant spyder, you'll have trouble hitting people because your shots are all over the place.

Also, if you hand the same player a PGP and an Emag, and stick him in a tournament, game he plays with the Emag will most likely be better than the ones with the PGP. While this is not universally true, increased ROF is often helpful, especially in speedball, due to the small size of the field and the need to keep your opponents in their bunkers instead of shooting back at you.

i voted mostly player, partially equipment, i agree with most posted on this argument

I have to say mostly player, up untill your marker costs the team over 300 points in "hot gun" penalties. It which case it is all gun. (we would have done better without the player)

If the best player has a gun that chops every ball, they wont beat a average player with a great gun.

It's not the player or the marker... It's the WANG!

Well, it's the WANG or it's the guy dressed in black hiding in the woods on the other side of the tapeline eliminating the other team for you. LOL.

As long as you have a reliable gun it is mostly player but it doesn't matter how good you are if your gun starts corkscrewing paintballs. this actually happened to me. the paintballs would spiral out, it looked pretty cool though
