Stock class VS semi/electro, whats more fun?

[�.C.]

**PLEASE RESPOND ONLY IF YOU'VE TRIED BOTH, NO IGNORANCE**(if you never tried stock class you shouldn't be able to make a bias opinion)

I'm currently trying to bring stock class into my local area and would like to show an example of what people think about stock class to local pballers. Personnally I think it is great, like pump airsoft. It's not as disapointing as shooting a superfast gun until a ball eventually hits someone(that is what paintball seems to be heading towards)There is more like strategy and there is a lot more motion. Please if you play both throw your opinions out and persuade these to play or not to play.


Also do you think pistols should be able to be used in stock class(more of a general question, stock gun VS pistol, fair?)


What do YOU think?

I play both and love them both. But there was no option for both so I didn't vote.

Pistols should be stock class also. No semi auto's should be allowed at all.

I am with Manike on this one. THough I did vote for SC. The problem I have is I am kindof a "purist" when I play SC and there just aren't that many "real" SC players/markers out there.

My wife said late last year, "watching the Stock Class tournament at the PanAm was definately more fun that watching the spray-paint-marathons"

There's a ref at one of my local fields (he's a big mag supporter) and he was using a pump gun last weekend for the last few games ... I think he took out 1/2 their teams, he's insanely accurate with that thing.

I am with Manike and RamboPreacher. It's all paintball and it's all good.

B.C.: When you say pistols should be allowed in SC, do you mean semi pistols? If so, then no, Stock class should be pump only.

Also, B.C. if you are in Mass. and want to play stock, hook up with the Paintball Marshals. The majority of east coast Marshals are in Mass.

Manike: When you say pistols should be SC do you mean all pistols or just pump pistols?

I have to agree with the others, I completely love my sfl, just as much as i do my green acid wash stock class phantom vsc. I love to hose a few on the speed ball field, but i also love to pick my shots. Stock class helps me make my semi game better.


I love stock class, even thoiugh im new to it, i am in love. id have to say stock class is a little more interesting than the semi game

stock class rules. exspecially when you go out to the field and they ask" Your using a pump?""HA HA that guys crazy he is using a pump" and then you say well you want me to use this as you whip out you mag. god the looks on their faces. but stock class is way more fun while rec balling w/ alot of newbs.

[EnderWigginPballin]

they're about even i think, but playing SC or semi-pistol is a whole lot more affordable.

it's also a really big rush to stand there with a little PGP or somthing and realize that the whole other team has high end semis... and then go shoot 3 or 4 of them

I also have had lots of fun with either, I am not going to vote because I do not consider one "more fun" than the other!! I enjoy both!!!

I like both.

I play pump almost exclusively (95% of the time), and stock class about half of that time. SC is perfect for my style of outdoor rec ball, and its absolutely the best when playing against other SC players.

I prefer to have a hopper on my pump though for airball/speedball games though, but I only go on the field with half a hopper or less... being able to AT 3 shots is much more effective than 1 ball when you're shooting slower indoor velocities too...

i love both. if i had to chose i think i would chose semi, jsut because its so much more versitile because you can play almost all games with a semi, where as hyper and supair games are really hard with stock. mabye i dont play good enough stock, but it seems to me that both are fun in there own ways. as for the pistol debate i say sure, a phantom or other high-end pump is always going to take some cheap semi-pistol from 32*. although i do love it sometimes as a sidearm playing rec

stock class definetly. i started playing stock class, and im going back to it even as we speak

I Love Stock Class!

There is nothing like spending a day of hard played, choice paintball and realizing at the end of the day that you only used 200 rounds.

200 rounds! You hoser!

Last time I played stock I played all afternoon and shot about 30 rounds. Had more hits than misses also

Most shots per minute got fired over the chrono

I'll bet he means pump play, not Stock Class Pump. IIRC, the last time I played a whole day 9am-5pm of rec games using my PG, I used 3 whole tubes of paint and one 12 gramm. - it was sooo much fun!
