And people say the RT has trigger bounce....

That was pretty cool Bob. Lets see some paint fly, that would be even better.

[mag-hatter]

that gives new meaning to the term "shock and awe"

[FreshmanBob]

lol you guys want paint flying eh? I'm no AKA spokesman but if you go here there's a whole slew of videos for you viewing pleasure, take your pic.

soooo nice, my favorite's are the JMJ viking ones.

Buuuuut I still like my mag

There comes a point where you trade off effective accuracy for weight, once the marker becomes so light that your trigger manipulation or the marker's own internal action makes the end of the barrel bounce, then you have gone too far. Please refer to my "Lighter is not necessarily better" thread.

The recoil wouldn't be half as bad if he had a little more mass on the marker (the barrel and a loader) and a little less of a limp wristed grip.

Yeah, I looked through those links on PBNation, the majority are just cycling the bolt and not actually shooting. I personally like the one where he claims he's shooting 30.3bps, then you watch his vid and it's no where near 30bps, that's a riot.

"Hey, everyone! Look at me! Look how fast my marker can cycle and NOT shoot paint! Whoohoo!" Hey great, good for you, you just established you can waste air quickly, I'm happy for you. Now do something practical with it like actually playing.

I still stand by my previous post, if you want to wow me, put paint in it and do it again. Until then, this thread is 90% useless.

Dude, first of all I prefer to keep as much condescending elitism out of my threads as possible. Relax and don't drink so much coffee or whatever makes you sound so damn harse. Second of all, theres more than a good handful of videos with paint, and why should that even matter? Halo's feed around 22 bps anyway, not like it can't be done, so do they need to waste air and paint? Didn't you notice that most of the vids w/ out paint are filmed inside, where its easier to make them, and harder to use paint in.

I'm not going to even mention the fact that NO ONE claimed to be shooting 30.3 BPS, that is just the setting their gun is capable of, thats what they mean by 30.3 bps.

I'm not trying to "wow" you and frankly don't give a crap if I do, I just thought it was cool and so did a helluva lotta other people, and those people make this thread VERY worthwhile, so take your negativity elsewhere.

I'm sorry if I offended and I apologize for coming off as condescending, which I definitely was doing, but I was not being elitest, not by any stretch.

Yes, I went through about 60+ videos yesterday on PBN, I really liked the Viking vid where he's punching holes in the Bin Laden paper siloette, that was rather fun. Unfortunately, the bulk of the vids are too grainy to see the paint fly and the sound quality too poor to really hear the rate of fire in quite a few of them, but there are a few gems in there that are nicely done.

Yes, I understand you're not out to "wow" me, that's fine, this is a free forum where everyone is entitled to their opinion, I've got no problems there. Seeing videos of people shooting air doesn't do it for me, what impresses me is videos like BlackVCG posted showing his high rate of fire in an actual game, the vids from odyssey, Tom's vids, vids showing actual shooting rates, that's what "wows" me. You really want to wow the majority of the posters here, show the marker in actual use.

Ok cool, I understand what you mean. The only in game vids they had were about 15 seconds long, even though its tough for your average paintballer to get a nice enough camera to do pigtv.net quality stuff on the web I get your point.
