don't understand that one...

I don't like...

--Look-alike markers... like all of the "Model 98 Commando kits"

--Refs who don't know crap about markers.... "You're mag doesn't have that kind of range"

--guys that bash drop-forwards... u might be a beast with 3 foot long arms, but I'm not!

--newbies with 5 shirts on that complain when you shoot them more than once because the paint bounced the first time...

- any marker bashing
- useless stuff, like(in some cases)remote, 18 inch barrels, laser sights. (have actually seen) Halo on a almost stock tippmann, and a revy on a pump!
- how people who are bad at paintball and either wipe or make excuses, then talk trash in your face.
- the "Know it all"
-feilds that make you buy paint that is about $20-$40 too expensive.
and of course
-the classic newb, won't follow directions, won't move up, fires at own team mate and gloats when they eliminate another player(which could have been that own player)

sneezing in my mask
having to pee just as (or just before) a game starts
lenses that fog
leaving the revy lid open
forgetting to turn on my revy
wipers
ghetto slang and foul language
poorly done splash anodizing (which is most)
sights and scopes (had one on a marker once it was just another thing in the way)
low pressure markers just for the being low pressure (not for efficiency)
Any marker/band/product bashing (who cares more players and more games)
people that think speed ball and tourney ball is the only way to play paintball
(yes I play speedball/sup air/tourney style games)


Also as a side note nice pumps with auto triggers (any really nice pump has one)
*example Sterlings
can really benifit form a revy

and stuff

* double finger triggers...

I agree with his entire list. I don't like that "stuff" either. Good list.

And whats wrong with a rev on a pump? Sometimes they are needed Besides, I dont like to carry a "special" hopper for my pumps.

[Iceman8446]

I hate:
:Rich kids talkin trash that since they have an angel they are better than me.
:Noobs who buy "tricked out tippmans" instead of getting a nice mag or cocker.
:Paintball guns that look like real guns.
:People refering to paintballs as ammo and relating paintball to war.
:People who think that angels hurt more than other guns.
:People gettin really pissed off because they lost. (and possibly throwing their very nice and expensive guns on the ground)
:People who dont like cockers just because they "break down alot" My freeflow has never broken down during a game, at all.
:People who bash mags.
:Idiots who buy some cheep paintball gun at wallmart or some place and go shoot someone or something and give our sport a bad name!!!!!!

People who whine excessively about the image, safety, etc aspects of paintball. These things are obviously important but enough is enough we've heard it all over and over and over (especially here on AO). Please give us a break. If you want to go teach newbies go ahead but for gods sake WE KNOW!

I dislike: (hate is too strong of an emotion)

Ppl that give refs a hard time. They have a hard enuff job as it is, y make it worse.
Ppl that bash any other gun(s) that they dont own. If they like it and bought it, mommy or not, dont worry about it.
Ppl that wipe or give up in mid-game cuz their teammates were shot out.

And how many other topics get posted OVER and OVER and OVER again on AO? And we KNOW there are no newbies on AO or that might read it.

Things that I dislike....
- when folks label everything they disagree with as "whining".
- when folks don't apply the same standard and rules evenly.
- when people care more about "having fun at any cost" than what it may do to the sport in general, or others around them.
- camping out!!!! For pity sake, MOVE!
- crappy weather.
- watching someone put catchup on a good steak.
- that "green" catchup.
- hemoroids.
- slow servers.
- slow drivers in the fast lane.
oh.... sorry.... got off topic there.
