Things in paintball that you don't like but seem popular

[Bulldog]

-Cheating in general.

-Laser dot sights. Not laser sights, but dot sights, like the ones izon makes. What the heck do these do?

-The phrase "It be blingin'" or "blingy". Though I guess this is really just a caryover from pop culture, which is usually moronic.

-Machismo. Leave that garbage off the field. It just starts fights. Why people would challenge someone to fight who is holding a paint marker is beyond me.

-The whole cocker ignoring the laws of physics thing. Not bashing, if it works for you great, but ignorance is still ignorance.

-Throwing paint and/or shooting in undesignated areas. Also ignoring safety rules. Every time I play I see at least one idiot lift up his mask on a field.

Autocockers. I don't know why. I just hate them. Well, I hate ANY gun with that thing that moves back and forth on the back. If it DOES have the moving thing, HAS to be on the side or top. Can't explain it...cockers are just EVL.

Dropfowards. Don't like em. They are pointless. Balancing my gun? I don't care...I'm a big boy now...I can handle a lil paintball gun.

Clear hoppers! Um..ok. Why do you want me to know how much paint you have left, when I am on the other team?

Exesively shiny guns. Looks silly.

Kids who's mommy bought then a Angel.

Will Wood, are you saying if your Mommy offered to buy you an Angel you'd say no? Didn't think so =) I really hate that as soon as people see kids (around 14) with good guns they assume their parents bought them. Drives me crazy that people think that, I actually worked for my stuff. And so what if people's parents bought them stuff, you wouldnt complain if yours did. I also dislike short barrels and humungus drop forwards.

ya and there wer 6 14 yr old kids at the field that thought they were a "Team" i nicknamed them "team my mommy bought my gun" cause one kid had a STO,and a bushy and claimed he had a mag at home... and when we were explaining the rules and he asked what bunkering was, and he was ooh ing at an AMG... obviosly a kid who tried to buy his way into skill and experiance. im not saying all kids are like that i mean im 16 and bought my own mag. but you can tell when people didnt work for thier marker... and i would turn down an angel... an Xmag is a differant story all together

[Darkling]

Well I love mags, but they aren't too popular...

No, I think you've misunderstood me. Perhaps I should say, kids with no skill, but big guns. I don't assume a kid who is young automaticaly has a marker bought by his parents. I'm talkig about the kids that BRAG about their mommy/daddy bought marker. And for the most part, know nothing about paintball. They, in some cases, may be able to fire the marker faster then me, and beat me, but it's just annoying.

I've been beaten before by a 5 year old with an angel. I was going to take it easy on him and not shot him, but turns out the marker that was taller them him managed to fire a ball that found its way to my mask.

The most irritating to me are kids who have been playing 6 months and are shooting 1,000+ setups.(Trying to buy skill)
People with high end electro's who i shoot out with a 68 or pro-carbine and say they lost because "i havent tweaked my trigger" or "i dont have my freak yet".
People who trash talk and are not respectful.
People who give bad advice to newbies.
People who say mags break paint and are worthless now.
Arrogant people who think they know EVERYTHING about the sport and equipment.
There us alot of irritating stuff people do in paintball lol.

[flatacid]

i have a question for everyone saying dropforwards. whats wrong with drop forwards? i think there better than having a big tank sticking out the back of your gun? imagine an emag. if it had a bottomline, wouldn't it look alittle silly if a 114 tank went from the bottom, straight back. that would be very awkward(sp?) gun for me to shoot.

even if it was a spyder or something. with a 20oz on the back, that would still put the gun too far forward for me. some type of drop would be nice.

[bigstino]

people who think that all canadians suck at paintball.Just because were from a country thats right above the U.S were told were "america junior" and we suck at every thing and were all jsut a big group of lumberjacks that drink beer and have to fight off poler bears in the front yards of our igloos.... And than whine there butt off when i shoot em in the goggles,claiming "thats bullcrap u cheated"... Also i cant stand people who whine if there gun gets shots. This one time i shot a so called "tourney player" in the front block of his coldfusion cocker, and some how "broke" something ( i dont understand cocker mechanics, lol) than complained to me for 3 hours telling me that i had to pay him 100$ to get it repaired!!! I mean thats just stupid..

[Ov3rmind]

- People who complain about people who have their guns bought for them by their parents. Don't tell me you wouldn't take a $1000+ setup if your parents offered it. Just because you bought your own crap, doesn't mean you run 10% faster and shoot 60% more accurately. And no, I'm not trying to defend either side, I myself bought my own stuff.
