You don't seem to get it. Pure afression will overcome superior equipment, but most players that are just starting out in young gun tourneys will be too intimidated by their oponents weaponry to even think about becoming "fearless and agressive". The first tournament experience is the most important, and if a kid has a realy lousy time because some little bratty kid is shooting $1200 gun that mommy and daddy bought he probably won't want to come back. That's why we're seeing the emergence of blow back only tournaments; specifically geared towards young gun players.

I guess I don't. I always tell kids when they are up against an electro it isn't the gun it is the person behind the gun, but even 14 and 15 year olds don't believe me. I want tournaments where you can only play with a hopper full of balls. So no matter how fast you shoot you can only shoot about 200 shots.

I'm not calling you a "noob". I'm just saying that young guns with super guns is going to destroy the tournament scene. Some kid with a Spyder won't understand that he is a better player, he'll only understand that his opponent has a gun that cost about 20X his, and the ROF reflects this.

ROF has nothing to do with who is a better player. Case in point. While I am not exactly a tourney player I am also not a newbie. I have an emag. An d was getting the feces tagged outta me last friday night by kids half my age with spyders and even rental tippmans. It's that player and his use of strategy and tactics. ROF only help in keeping heads down and in all honesty, hearing one ball per second slam against the side of my bunker is just alikely to keep my head down as 20 balls per second.

Slayer, you get it. The tournament scene by itself is intimidating. Say all you want about only being able to shoot 200 rnds, younger players ALWAYS base skill on equipment, that's just the way it is. I know. My 12 year old brother frequents the field with me, and is always awestruck by the little kid toting the splash Annoed Angel in the aluminum case. He imdeiatley thinks that he is better player and quite often says "woah, look at the gun! We had better stay away from him!". I'm starting to beleive that it really doesn't matter, because most of the time the kids with super big guns have only been playing for a year tops, and that time has been with a field rental or a buddy's gun. Once they amass enough money (or beg mommy and daddy enough) they buy a top of the line marker. Then acquire an atitude that since they own a better marker that they are inherently a better player; and thus mini TWiB is formed.

Exactly. Just one question. TWiB?

It does not matter what kind of gun you have. A guy that played with us last time used a pump with one 12 gram and like 8 balls in the feed tube and got 4 people that game. We all found it halarious because half the people there had intimadators and the rest had mags. It was funny...but it makes you realize hat it's not the marker, it's the player.
