Paintball Lingo Help

[KornKamp02]

Ok, I see alot of paintball lingo on here that I ahve no idea what they mean, could you guys help me out? Here are some I'm curious about, you can give me the definition for more.

Backplayer or Backman
Frontplayer or frontman
Lane
Lane on The Brake (I know what the brake is I just wanna know what laneing on the brake is)



Thanks! And AO is the nicest place I ahve seen and I know I won't get n00b! Shoved down my throat, 'cause you guys are too nice

laning:firing strigns of balls down a lane you think the oppenent is going to run down so he rusn into your balls

backman or back player:a couple guys in the back, oen of the most imporant people, they take up lanes, they fire non stop to give their frontman a chance to move, they give all their frontmans commands and tell them where there oppenents are

frontman: guys that run off the break to get good posistion, people playign closest to the 50, with there backman's help they bunker alot of peopel and they make the game breakign moves most of the time, their job is to push up the field

Thanks! Now, what about the field lingo? like The 50 and The Snake and what exactly is Airball, X-Ball, all those other ones except woods ball because I know what that is.

Backman, the guy who sits at the back of the feild and keeps their heads down so your front players can move and get shots on. The back guy is also your eyes on the feild since they don't have to play as tight and can generaly see whats going on.

Frontman, the guy who gets his nose right in it. These players play right up front (as the name might sugest) These are the guys that make the moves.

Laning... is where you spray paint down a Lane.. or an open line. The point is to make the other guys have to run through a wall of paint on the way to their bunkers.

Laning off the break...basicaly you guess where the other guy is going to go on the break and drop a pile of paint in front of that bunker hoping that they run through it.

50-center of the field, if centerflag format, it's where th fkag is at, usually the biggest or best lane shootign bunker, imporant to keep from other team
snake-a lay down bunker usually near or at the 50, also imporant to get,keep away from team

Can somebody tell me what people mean when they say "Your mirror!" thats the only thing i cant really figure out.

[MayAMonkeyBeYourPinata]

Mirror-its when the 2 sides of the field are the same , and its the bunker that you are in just on the opponents side of the field

Note to Mods

Maybe an FAQ terminology thread might be a good idea? Or maybe not necessary, since AGD doesn't really cater to the neginner market?

[rtslave]

I think a thread with lingo would be great.
What are all the bunkers: rolie-polie, doritoes, carwash and all the others.

[elpimpo]
