Obsolete?

"lol, I am a dumba$$???...blind and retarded... person.... OF courese [sic]...I...always get bunkered and bonus balled and go home crying."

"I couldn't have said it better myself."

You're getting too witty.

On the gun debate a pump can easily win against a good burst. You see those high priced electro's shoot so often that they accumulate more debris in the barrel. Which means wingers. Trust me I played with a mag only capable of 1 BPS and did better than ever against the electro's. <-

you can say whatever you want but if I was going to say here I will give you this phantom pump or this 2k2 timmy, you know you would take the timmy over the pump.

OMFG...man you really need to attend Analogy 101.

Even if you were desperate for a Phantom you would still take the timmy to sell...

[Brophog]

You know what I wish was obsolete? Narrow minds and conceptions.

Those two things seem to be back in style these days..........

I would take the Phantom. There are some obsoleat markers like the Splat Master and 3357, but I have owned every kind of marker you can name and I prefer my RTP to all of them(My Phantom is a close second) and yes, I am a hard core tourney player who's whole team has passed on electros and still wins.

If you're offering, I could use a Phantom. Preferrably stock class - I need a good stock marker.

I wouldn't take the Timmy anyway - I like an open sight rail (you can sight down a Phantom's feed tube just fine) and I don't like E-markers. Too much stuff can go wrong with them that can't with a mechanical, speaking from 13 years experience as an electronic tech. Nothing wrong with a Timmy (that isn't wrong with any E-marker), but they're too alergic to percussion, humidity, dead batteries, bad connections, etc. High rate of fire just isn't that important to me.

Oh, and maybe it's just me Shivors, but I don't buy stuff just to sell it - I buy it to use it. If I don't need it, I don't get it.

i remember at the end of the day a few weeks ago everybody was almost out of air and paint, my friend william challenged my friend joe to a game 1v1, so william and joe start and william runs ot of air after 2 shots, joe had an amg and william had a few swollen paintballs that were rained on the day before, gues wuut, william beat him to the ground, the gun has nuthin to do with it if u know how to play

There are some obsoleat markers like the Splat Master.

How is the splatmaster obsolete? I still use my splatmaster and it works great! I like the feeding system, you don't need to dump paintballs anywhere, just stick the entire tube in the gun.

maybe it's obsolete to you cause you can't use it

[Target Practice]

Hey, the more outdated it is, chances are you have to be all the more skilled to use 'em.

[Rooster]

Not everyone plays in the cheater-board leagues. When PSP and NPPL cleans out their own house, they can try to tell the rest of us whats obsolete.

It really depends on what type of paintball is being played. For rec ball a pump and brass eagle non-electronic guns will work fine. Having an angel, timmy, shocker in woods play is just...welll unneccessary. As for Speedball/Tourney Play an electronic marker or high performance mechanical gun does have its advantage. If you have a 1vs1 speedball game where an Angel vs. a Pump Gun, the angel does have great advantages over the pump gun player. But as for tournaments, i have 2 electro guns (angels) and 3 non electros (cockers) we do very well with what we got. Its all about how you play, and if your comfortable with your gun.

[dwab3000]

well, i havent read all the posts, just some that disgust me


now we all say its the player not the marker...

so when my mag was awy, and my bko was down for a little while, and i used a rental, a 98, with stock evrything, and my hpa, i realized, that that statement would be truer if every marker shot the same, different rof, but same accuracy

go out and play with a stock 98 on a windy day, youll notice its no where as accurate as say my mag with a boomy or my bko with say a freak

now i know that no guns accurate on a winday day, but try it with like a 5in or so barrel,

i want you to try this, i gaurentee that you are not gonna be playing the same, you have to take it up a notch, if your back, you have to play front, if your front, you have to be careful


just my rant and rave

[puckmaster]

IT IS ALL PERSONAL PREFRANCE!!!!!
Some people like speedball, some like woods ball(I HATE woodsball, but thats me.)
Some people like pumps, some like semi-auto(i HATE expensive pumps, but again, thats just me.)
Some like Mech., others like electro(I LOVE electro, but guess what, its just me.)

No One can tell you whats better. Its all about what you like. There might be better technologies out, but that doesnt make a mag, or any other gun, obsolete.

And when people say, its the player, and not the marker, i just have to shake my head. If You play ball against another player equily matched with you, whats gonna make the deciding difference? Your gear. If you can get that extra ball out, it could all be over. if you could feed 1 ball faster, he would just run into your stream. Now, there are some cases in which the equipment doesnt matter at all. say Naughty Dogs vs. a pickup team with begginers. Say they switch guns. NDs have pumps and 98's and the begginers have the timmys. Who will win?
So, i think a better way to say it would be its not the gun or equipment, its how well the player uses the equipment.

comparing pumps and semi-automatic markers isn't all that great of a comparison. In the hands of a good player a pump can do a lot of damage. Sure it's a lot harder but that's what makes it so fun, is that you actually have to aim and make your shots count, instead of letting paintballs hail on a bunker.

[puckmaster]

It depends on how good your opponent is, and what gun they use. you wonthave time to "make your shot count" when you have 2 or 3 guys railing 16 bps on your bunker.
