I think the thread starter just proves why education in this country is horrible. I mean his grammar and spelling aside he has no idea how to convey a message. When challenged he gets all defensive about simple criticisms. Plus his information is wrong. I am a teacher and this is exactly what I try to dispell in my students, this ignorance if you will. Well we all know ignorance is applauded in this country, look at every moron who gets on TV and gives thier opinion. If you can't convey a message, you are almost useless.

This is the kind of thing we don't need in our sport. Keep doing that and you will never get any better at paintball, and you certainly won't survive a tournament when a ref won't let you play until you reset your debounce.Originally posted by WilliamEric
Timmy's are sweet because you can set the debounce to 1 and kill people :-) They also have very little kick. It's cool to shoot a million darts per second!Miscue - *Banned for: Flaming, disruptive behavior, and overall jackassery* -Brian

Paint to barrel match
If you do a decent search on most forums. Or, better yet. Check out warpig, they use bench vices to lock the marker down during their paint to barrel test. Why? So that you can eliminate the "kick" that a marker has. One less variable to mess with.
I used to shoot a shocker on a 68 cu. in. CO2 tank. Was it heavy? Yup, and that helped to minimize the kick from the bolt cycling, paintball flying, elves dancing, etc. On the other hand my Angel LED would consistantly pull upwards during firing. Yes, paint to barrel match is critical if you can keep your marker stable. If you have difficulty holding your marker stable, of course it'll affect accuracy.
Try stabilizing both markers when you fire. Using the same barrel and paint. With good regulation of air to the marker, and both markers set at the same fps. I can almost guarantee that if you shoot slowly, you'll notice very little difference between markers, if any difference at all.

Hey mr.teacher i happen to get all A's and a one b so if u want i can e mail u some of my essays to prove that i am not a dumbass. i got a 1350 on my sats but when it comes to writing a thread i could really care less about my grammar. i am on my way to being a pharmacist so go and teach other kids bc i think my teachers did a fine job. ohh and u taught me something worthwhile: go and drink when u have problems. good work
also i think that my reg on my omen is really good which is the cause of the better accuracy but i still think some guns are more accurate than others no matter wut ppl sayLast edited by Treefall25; 08-21-2003, 02:39 PM.Comment

not to become one of those "flaming" threads that the mods have to close...but I have a really hard time understanding what your typing about.
It would help to get your point accross if you DID care. I mean obviously you care enough about your opinions on accuracy and your omen...so why not "care" when talking about them.Comment

Treefall, I sincerely doubt that Matt was insulting your intelligence in a demeaning way on purpose, just that you perceived it to be in such a way. He stated something many believe to be true. While education in this country is at a higher average(in some areas), it is still well below what we could be achieving.Originally posted by Treefall25

Now to get back to my point. My point is that what you say about an SAT score of 1300, and all A's except a B does not mean anything. This is the internet. People lie and decieve others every day. For all we know you could be a 300-pound thirteen year old who sits on his A** all day in a windowless room getting a CRT tan. Or, you could a a rich kid going to a boarding school in Sweden. Just like I could say I am Bill Gates, or even god.
While I know I am not Bill Gates, or god for that matter, I can still say that I am. Granted, no one would believe me, but it still proves my point. Very few people on the internet are as how you perceive them to be.
Now this is quite scary. You feel that you are able to argue with the likes of Tom Kaye, and the majority of the paintball industry on what is a known fact? Paint to barrel match is written in stone. Black and White. There is no debating this fact. Unless, this is just another damn marketing scheme in an effort to fool us all into buying their products. Hmmm, smells like Roswell to me. Maybe the government is behind this...are they accurate and don t tell me that accuracy depends on paint to barrel match bc thats not true.
Ok, now my rant is over, and I thank you for being patient. Now that the rant is all over, I have some advice which I feel may be helpful to you. People would be less likely to insult your intelligence if you took the time to reread your posts, and check for spelling and grammatical errors.Most people are looking for intelligent life in space. I haven't given up on Earth yet.Comment

trust me i know about the nation s education. i mean i live in NJ where education is above normal but also drugs are very attainable which clogs the minds of these young adolescents. which in turn makes them lazy and such. i would bet my life if we solved the drug problem then the kids would be motivated to actually do work. Also i understand that i can very well be a fat rich kid but i m not. and finally maybe its in my mind but i shot my brother s spyder then my omen with the same barrel and paint and u couldn t compare the accuracy cause the spyder sukked. ohh well i m not gonna try and defend that but i guess i m wrong. And i only go on the computer if i m looking to buy something or posted something or talking to sum ppl on aimComment
