Are the Majority of Paintball Players Ricers at Heart?

[SlartyBartFast]

To me, a ricer isn't just defined by the car they drive, but how they "customise" the car.

You know, big wings, funny bodykits, lots of CF, paint jobs, 'go-fast' mufflers, chrome, etc, etc, but the same engine and mechanicals that came with the car in the first place.

Compare that to paintball. How many 'different' timmies are there now? How many have spent fortunes anno'ing and re-anno'ing their markers? Can't wear last years jersey because it's not 'in' anymore?

What do you all think?

[Bolter]

ummm...i think its more that people like toys. If you got the money and therefore the option to buy all the new stuff then great! I say go for it. I am not one of those people

If you are talking about the true majority then NO they are intrested in performance. Since the true Majority of paintballers are woods//rec players.

If you are talking about the majority that post on most internet PB forums then yes. Since most of them are teeny boppers that are just wanna be tourny players.

[Torbo]

definatly not. yes, there are many, but most do want performance. you pointed to the number of differently milled/annoned timmys: i think that isnt really a good example. because with the milling and anno of the timmys, you get some of the best performing guns on the market.

So stuff like Ghilie suits, camo, flatlines, bipods, all the BT-16 stuff for Tippys... all that is performance gear, right?

[skife]

yes, there is alot of rice in paintball.

back in the day my uncle used to drive a '69 nova with a blueprinted 383 stroker
the car was a dull yellow and primer

the inside was gutted and the seats wern't adjustible
they fixed the holes in the floor with silicone, cookie sheets and sheet metal screws.
it wasn't a cop magnet and it would toast so many cars on the road



now days people paint their cars tons of outrageous colors put the fart pipe on it, the huge wing huge rims that get bent when hitting speedbumps and the body kit that adds on about 100 lbs and load it with aftermarket crap for the interior, then they think its a race car. they are cop magnets
sorry this turned into a rant
i hate rice.

Hehe, you beat me to it.

Because we all KNOW that all those military mounts for scopes, sights, flashlights, and god knows what else on the TAC-One are absolute necesities to get eliminations.

And same for the A5....

Put racing stripes and flames on it - it'll shoot faster.

[JimmyBeam]

my rice.....

too bad my gun isnt done yet

[Blazestorm]

The only thing thing I will do to my car is install a computer with wIFI internet, a touchscreen monitor, and a DVD player.

An actual computer, not full size ofcourse, but enough to play music and watch DVD's

Maybe add a few secondary monitors for passengers... dunno

This would be going into a Subaru WRX Impressa Sport Wagon

[punkncat]

Just like the fact that every sticker on your Honda adds 15HP.......
