What would you consider overshooting?

[yakitori]

well? how many balls must you hit someone w/ until it is considered overshooting. Ive been in situations that I could not see the person from where I was that well, so I just launched about 6 balls in their direction and to my suprise 4 break on them. They start screaming and whining like it was intentional.

Then in the same day, I shot some guy once, (and he didnt make it obvious), so I shot him a second time. He gets all huffy about it and yelling like I overshot him.

how bad have you lit someone up, or been lit up.

[i_baked_cookies]

depends on the field and the level of the players. i play with pretty good people who have angels, etc. and on a really small field... i would consider 6 or 7 overshooting.

[White_Noise]

pending on the situation, id say 6-7 balls is allowed if its a blind shot at a distance, 5-6 balls allowed when getting bunkered, 3-4 balls if walking off the field.

edit: if the person doesnt make it known that theyre hit, let the balls fly and light them up for not calling out. dont want to have someone look out, but do a run through on you.

i snapped off 3 quick shots at a kid...got him out he walked off the field i contineu playing and from the sideline i hear him about overshooting. 3 hits isnt overshooting...but maybe ti was to him..but i cant help it i wanted to hit him and like most people i dont shoot 1 ball at a time. and after game explained it was unententional.

ide feel bad if i did more than 6 and would consider that overshooting

[LittlePaintballBoy]

More than six from getting shot to the sidelines. More than three in a bunker move, you gotta shoot 3 to make sure at least 1 hits.

[BD_Paintball]

i would say about 6-7 also. and like the other person said if they dont some how show they are hit just keep the balls flying until they let you know. if you dont do this and the balls some how bounced then he will shoot you and you will be kicking yourself for not shooting him more

If I am playing in a tourny I will shoot till a hand goes up. I have had it happen, I hit a guy 3 times saw a hit but he kept playing and i got hit. So i do not give them a chance, lite them up till they call them self out.

[68magOwner]

rec ball- over 3 (unless they get hit by a lane or something, then it can be more)
tourney- over 10

[Gunther_mag_user]

i have lit up my cousin and fellow teammete really bad..... I shot him around the area of 15 times with lots o crotch shots.... it was my first day of ever useing a timmy, and well i wasnt thinking straight well my cousin didnt play at all the rest of the day.... i wonder why



Gunther

edit: he was about 15 feet away

[Deep Sixx]

Tourney: I'll keep shooting 'till they get up or the ref pulls them out. I don't care if I hit them a dozen times... if you're that slow to call yourself, it's your problem. I've been the "nice guy" one too many times and I'm tired of being shot by dead players.

Rec: More than 3 breaks.

[Rift]

^ what he said theres no being nice to many ppl try to sit there and play it of like they never got hit

[White_Noise]

^agreed

[ojhspyro89]

I bunkered this one kid from bout 7 or 8 feet away with 3 shots in just normal open play and he like started screaming that he was hit and stuff and got all puffy when we were walking off the field. I tried to explain to him its nothing personal i just had to do it.

since i did that the ref made it 4 on 1. I got 2 and ran outa air so i feel as tho i did good.

[xXHavokXx]

5 in bunkering. 6-7 In runs. 15 off the break. Off the break the back guys are mowing, if you cross into a lane youre asking for it.

Rec ball;

3 if they own a spyder
3 for a mag
3 for a tippy
95 for a Dragun gun.

[SummaryJudgement]

I concur..

I agree with deepSIx. In a tourney, you should call yourself out as soon as you are AWARE that you have been hit. If you got a break on your pack and didn't feel it, and kept playing, you shouldn't be surprised if a wall of paint is coming your way. But I believe the same thing about rec ball. GET THAT FRIGGIN GUN IN THE AIR WITH A PLUG IN IT IF YOUR HIT!

Also, there is always the travel distance factor. If a guys thirty yards out, you don't necessarily want to shoot just two balls at him, because if you miss you may have blown an oppertunity. I could see a string of six to eight balls in a situation like that. Now maybe you hit him once or twice, or all six or eight times, but you've only "shot at him" once.

I think overshooting could be considered any situation where the opponent is clearly out, but you get a few more licks in anyway. And yes, if your not going to take yourself out of a game (when you should immediately), I got no sympathy for you if you get lit up.
