I have just reconfirmed that...

[robdamanii]

If they want to learn from you, by being beaten, they can. They told you they didn't.

If YOU wanted to learn/practice, you wouldn't want to play at an advantage.

If you're really such a good player, you'd be able to teach and learn by playing against rentals with a pump.

They told us that at the end of the day when we were heading out to "shoot all the rest of the paint we had left". And regardless, we beat them with Tippmans anyway, so it's a moot point. They learned by being beaten either way.

I played for fun, not practice. I never said I was going to practice against them, so don't put words in my mouth.

I've played pump before, and it's not my style. If I'm going to use a lower class marker, I'd at least like a barrel on it that doesn't suck.

Maybe you have a different view of things than I do, and that's wonderful. My post was simply "I happen to appreciate my marker more now that I realize what a drag it is playing with a rental". If you don't like that, then don't post in the thread. All the explanation was for was to explain the circumstances behind using a rental, not for you to comment upon "mowing down n00bs by a heavy artillery toting tourney player".

I'm guessing you've NEVER shot out a n00b with your high end marker before?

I don't own a high end marker.

But, I also never treat ANYBODY as a "n00b".

[robdamanii]

I don't own a high end marker.

Well BLAH!

I like my speed and see no reason not to use it. Fun is fun, and what counts is they had a good time, regardless of what was being used.

[xXHavokXx]

See when in a similar situation......I put a slow loader like a Revvy or Grav Feed hopper on my dm4 or fly so I cant shoot fast but can still use the guns Im used to.

Replying to the edit:

"n00b" is a generic term for new player, not meant as derogatory.

ive used a tippy.....3 times? while gun was at milling/milling again/ano, whateva, consistency is really bad and that sucks, but wat botehrs me the most is that its 800ft long, just cant play a bunker like i usally do with it, i much prefer a cheapo spyder clone over a tippy

[Jeffy-CanCon]

Very true. It was commendable of you and your friends to give the newbies some playing tips, too.

And it's good for all of us to learn to appreciate our equipment by playing with something worse. I, too, have felt the frustration of using a worn-out rental gun instead of my own gear. But I've found that no one ever minds if you are using a pump.

[ghideon]

I still have my 98 I used three years ago. It was actually a pretty nice marker (after a stablizier, anti-siphon CO2 and a nice barrel). The stock barrels on those things are the absolute worst barrels ever.

You should pick up a Phantom pump for days like that, when the rest of the field is all rentals.

[Automaggot68]

And get new internals, an E-bolt, LPK, a decent HPR, HPA, a decent loader..

Yeah, because after that, he'd be able to buy a used Angel.

[teufelhunden]

Yep.

[robdamanii]

I don't NEED another one, I just got rid of my backup Angel.

[Lohman446]

Rob... going out on the field and wiping out newbies, and insisting they play your game.. then whining when your forced to tech down (and not volunteering to...

Well your sig becomes approrpiate

[tony3]

Wow, lots of people being dicks in this thread, thats for sure. Everyone looks too deep into threads. He was just saying that he has been using highend guns for so long, he didn't realize how nice they really were.

THANK you.

I hilight the fact that something makes us appreciate the high end markers we have, and I'm getting a bunch of people who are flaming me for saying that I didn't like playing with a tippmann.

[1ofkind]

...I love my angel, and I HATE tippmans.

The group that played yesterday at the field with us wouldn't let the two of us use our angels because "they were too fast". So to level the playing field, we took rental tippys out with us.

Holy CRAP...

I saw feet sticking out, arms, tanks, tops of heads....and couldn't hit ANYTHING due to the crappy barrel on the tippy. Not to mention the thing was like trying to hold a halberd in front of me. And forget trying to make a run-through with the thing....

Sometimes we need some adversity to really appreciate how much we love our thousand dollar paint slingers, right?

I love angels & hate rental guns. You can't really blaim the gun because those places dont really clean the barrel good at some places. They do use squeezes but that aint hacking the job when theres globs of paint and shells in the bore after a nasty chop.


I'm surprised, why didn't you just compromise and say hey I'll turn my angel down to 5 bps(harrible tourcher). Ahah didn'tthink of doing that muhahahahaha
