Ghillies suits, waste?

[Arman/XPM]

Hello all,
I was browsing through Ebay, and I came upon some Ghillie suits, now these seemed to be of high quality, but I dont know how effective they would be.

-I used to have a Ghillie suit, it kept getting snagged on branches, and weighed me down quite a bit.

-What do you all think about using Ghillie suits?
Should I purchase one, or are they just another waste?

A waste unless you like to lay in the woods, sweat a lot, and play like a bush. Personally, I like to run around a lot and shoot at folks.

[Arman/XPM]

Yeah, thats how I play, run alot and shoot

I saw a guy on a speedball field with it. I couldn't help but snicker...

Waste,

At my field the other day some guy had a Ghillie suit and he just looked like a big ball of string runing around..you could see him better than anyone else

The funny thing about those is that people don't seem to realize they only work when you're very, very still. I've seen so many running bushes it's pretty funny.

Lol,
SM5 - are you sure you werent on something?....... j/k

Like everything else, ghillie suits have their uses. They're designed to make you appear as unhumanlike as possible and blend with your surroundings, but it only works if you either move very very slowly or not at all.

I use one exclusively during large scenario games where I usually play a spy (inteligence gathering and assassination) role in which you have to not be seen at all in order to accomplish the mission. I've been able to infiltrate the enemy's basecamp and sit just outside within earshot and listen in on plans and actions reported. This is a game of patience that can pay off big when your target steps out into your line of fire unescorted. One shot, one kill

In normal paintball, they are useless.

If you do lots of scenario games, then you might want one. As stupid as it sounds, they actually seemed to come in handy then, espeically at dusk.

Pretty sure...

I think you mean the singing bush. These running bushes did'nt sing. That would have been a sure giveaway.

Good luck finding a field that will allow you to wear it during a game. Too many bouncers.

I was also thinking of the bouncing issues. A real gillie suit would be very thick and soft. It's not really sporting to wear something that a paintball probably will not break on. I know that's not why you would wear it but it is a problem.

It's really a waste unless you play in deep woods with like crap all over, when i play in woods is semi cleared out
