What would you consider overshooting?

[usmc8892]

10 or less is cool...but I do shoot until they call themselves out...if you don't call yourself out quick when you know you are hit you are just asking for it

I got bunkered one time. The guy shot me around 12-15 times. Either his gun wasnt fast or he didn't know how to shoot it cuz it took about 3 seconds for him to shoot me that many times. My gun was pointing straight up in the air while he kept shooting me. I wasn't mad about the overshooting as much as his gun was way too hot. I had softball sized welts everywhere. I have 3 permanent scars on my chest from it. The ref was standing right next to me but it was at the end of the day and he was too tired to do anything about it. Moral of the story is overshooting doesnt bother me as much as a hot gun.

Other things? Like staged? There's nary a speck of pink on his marker, visor or pants. Odd, wouldn't you say?

20 or so shots, if the guy is standing there watching you walk away with your gun in the air or hand in the air and not getting off the trigger, then its overshooting.

[VFX_Fenix]

Over shooting = Any number of hits (but not fewer than 3) recieved AFTER it has been made apparent that the "victim" is no longer an active player (i.e. hand/gun up (key), standing up backwards, walking to the back of the field with head hung in shame, etc.)

Generally play nice, but not nice enough that it could bite you in the butt later on.

Agreed.

Don't forget the big one, the Ref. Yelling, He's out for the 15th time...

You have to expect to get lit up if bunkering someone doesn't go your way. If they come out and see you 5 feet away, they'll be shooting until you stop running.

[B.A.M.]

In rec and relaxed games 3 shots (my fields rule). At a turney id say its not untill the guy calls him self out cuz ive witness on guy bunker another and hit him 3 times and then moves one but the the bunked guy shoots him in the back

[FallNAngel]

First, let me say what overshooting (IMO) is...

overshooting to me is intentionally shooting someone when you know they're out. I can have my gun ripping at 14bps and someone runs in front of them and they get hit by 6, that to me isn't getting overshot. I'm looking for intent here.

Having said that, I generally go by 3 shot rule. If you go to bunker someone and shoot them 3 times and none of them break, you have bigger problems than whether you're overshooting or not. There's no reason you have to put 6 or 7 into someone when you're bunkering them... there just isn't.

[Lethargic]

well, from playing NPPL, I'd say overshooting is somewhere in the 10+ range AFTER I've left my bunker. I figure anything I get before I start trying to get out is just part of the game, and a few more after that can be chalked to stray shots, but any excessive amount afterwards is just retarded.

But if I'm playing rec. I never put more than 2-3 on the guy. I mean, its all for fun.... right?

[CodeMA]

I agree with Lethagic...

If Im shooting, unless Im randomly snapshooting/bunkering(3 shot min, unless the paints bad and its prolly gonna be upped to seeing 3 breaks or 5shot min), chances are theres gonna be a good 3-15 balls behind the first one... If your still in the way after the first 3 or so, its your butt... and if your attempting a run though you can expect some extra lovin as well till your hand go up...


Rec, Im gonna be slightly nicer mind you... and will generally go for the pack/gun shots... and the volume of paint isnt going to be nearly as high to begin with...

[Thordic]

Overshooting is anything excessive after the player has moved to leave the field. I expect to hit 3-6 times in a tournament as I'm leaving the bunker, gun up or not. I can live with that. The paint was probably in the air when you were standing up.

If you are in your bunker getting hit, and you don't get up, then there is no over-shooting. if you don't obviously call yourself out, then someone will make sure you want to leave.

This is in a tourney, though. For woodsball, anything over 3-5 hits would be overshooting. No need for anything over that.

Real simple, when you continue to shoot the guy when you "know" he's hit and he can't possibly wipe it off.
