    Snipers In Paintball???

    Ok I was listening to these people talk about how they are "snipers"
    I was thinking what total stupid newbs their arent snipers in paintball because you dont have a longer range than anyone else on the field.

    Do you agree with me?

    FYI...You might want to find out about a Flatline Barrel. Do a little research about scenario Paintball, There are "snipers" in paintball.

        Mr. Hartley is right, sniping in paintball refers to someone who will be willing to sit in one place and wait for someon to come across them. Frankly, I think it's boring as hell, I'd rather be up front supporting my team and taking some hits for my team. I mean come on, you spend like $20 on a field fee, who wants to sit in some tree for @20?

          some people consider themselves snipers becasue they go find somewhere on the filed(usualy back) and hide and wait for the other team to advance up and try to hit them with suddel shots...while somewhat effective in a scenario team they dont really have any purpose in speedball or even modern rec play.

            Sceptor is planning on releasing a bolt action "sniper" marker for the Mil-sim/Scenario market


            Its going to be based on the look and feel of the EDM Windrunner
            They claim:
            Release date: Christmas 2004.
            Price: around $500
            Barrel: 18-21 inch, might be hop-up, might get "silencer".
            Magazine: 10 ball clip under rifle. No hopper.
            Action: Pump (simulated bolt action).
            Other info: Single tube, closed bolt design. Extremely accurate. Modeled exactly after the Windrunner. Will also be sold as a +400fps NLW unit. Designed for 10 inch grouping at 110-150 feet at 290fp

            http://www.opsgear.com/bbs/viewtopic...da5a73a30a2186



            How Sceptor is going to acomplish such a revolution must involve alien technology

              first of all, as was previously stated, sniping has nothing to do with the equipment. look at the definition:

              Noun: sniper
              1. A marksman who shoots at people from a concealed place

              second of all, there are guns that shoot farther than others. range depends mainly on velocity, which is regulated by the field, and the coanda effect, aka backspin with a flatline barrel.

                    Personally I agree with you, sniping in paintball is kinda pointless, what if the ball doesnt break?

                    Yes the flatline gives you distance but at that point you can pretend to be neo and dodge them a la matrix. We've even shot balls fired from flatlines down at WAP.

                    In paintball and airsoft everyone and their mom wants to be a sniper as it is so romantiseized in movies and video games but it isnt fully a reality in either sport. I should know, I tried......one time I put my 18" ultralite tip on the DM4 and electrical taped a night vision scope to my halo. It just wasn't as effective as my normal technique.

                      oh yeah, btw the noobs are the ones that think buying 21" barrel will make them snipers.

                        Jeremey Salm was a sniper. He played for Avalanche.
