i dont think you get what we are saying.... i am fine with parents buying kids markers... thats how i got my first one... what i have a problem with is people (especialy kids having thier parents try) buying thier way into skill. and people who make it seem that they are really good when all they have is a expensive marker.

Exactly

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..

What are you saying, we Americans are wrong?


(I am kidding here...)

Cocker bashing....definitely too much of it.

Stock mag trigger frames! Hate the pull.

Halos on markers that are too slow to need them.

Low pressure blowbacks...something about them just seems wrong, although I'm gonna mess with my spyder's valve for fun so I shouldn't talk.

Fancy jerseys...it's like camo for speedball, you wear it for no reason but to look cool (not really, I'm just too cheap to buy one!)

Cockers breaking....

[Seabass]

I dunno if someone already bought this up .. but ..

Sight rails on center feed guns or guns that it doesn't clear the powerfeed .. WTF!? *cough* e-mag *cough* .. why not just offset it to either side of the gun? Sight rails on any type of these guns are totally useless.

[RamboPreacher]

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

my list, but not in any particular order (obviously my opinions):
* center feed markers
* double finger triggers
* JABB's (too many clones)
* JAAC's (too many clones)
* JAAM's (too many clones)
* JAE's (too many clones)
* sights and lasers on markers
* cheeting/wiping and other items of lack of integrity.
* scammers (gee, I'll sell you a URL on ebay, so you can buy an angel and it will only cost $300! - arghghg)
* "tourny-boys" - the stereotypic ones, not all! the ones with the attitude that they are all that and that rec-painbtball should go away - bah.
* People tha tthink that the culmination and end-all in paintball is tournaments - bah!
* People that are not patient with or don't otherwise "tolorate" players that can't afford a "nicer" marker
* People that will defend their marker to the end (because it is theirs and not for any real reason, otherwise)
* people that shoot up or otherwise belittle newbies.
* "Evil" products (controversial, but hay, I am the founder of the CPPA)
* "military" stlyed-looking markers in normal rec. play (or in tournaments) - they may have thier place in specialty scenarios etc, but not in normal play
* renegade/outlaw players that have no respect for property or safety
* the publics stereotypic view of paintball players (bah, we aren't all a bunch of militia crazies)
* PB players that don't care about what other people think about paintball and paintball players image.
* people who think that cheeting/wiping is okay, cause it is done all the time and you can't win without it - bah
* people who wnat something for nothing or that otherwise think that the world owes them a living. (especially ones that ask me for free stuff)
* I suppose there are more, but I gotta get back to work...

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

Popular does not equal good

When thing I do love is shooting those 14 year olds with the $1,000 guns with my 15 year old Bushmaster

Umm, aren't you bashing Chrome guns and jerseys?

Things that annoy me:

- these 17 year old kids who shoot an Angel mommy bought for them, have the stupid looking ninja headband and think they're hot stuff.

- people who sit behind a bunker and spray a case of paint per game and think they're good.

- techno snobbery. If you don't have an Autococker with $7000 worth of asinine extras or an Angel you're not a "serious" or "good" player.

- players who give you a blank look when you talk about when you used to play woodsball with Stingrays (back in the day).

- teams that have twice the money but half the skill yours does, so they get to compete more.

stuff

Sight rails that are centered on the gun can be used if you have an internal red dot and you keep your eyes open. It will impose on the target of your open eye. However... I agree that sights are stupid. These paintball gun thingy's don't shoot 3000 fps...

Blowback electros (like a spyder) shoot WAY better than other electros.

cockers shoot way further than mags.

shiny guns shoot better!

Ahem, thought I would argue the other side a bit there... I'm done now. I hate idiots that say those things.

[FatMan]

People who ***** about stupid stuff!
