What would you consider overshooting?

[paullus99]

Well, overshooting in recball is definitely different than in a tourney - but if I see someone's gun go up in the air, I'm going to stop firing. Now with today's markers, I do expect that I'll get hit a few more times while my hand is going up, so that's fine.

Its intentionally shooting someone you know is out that I find to be completely out of line.

in tournaments unless its pretty blatent nothing is over shooting, adrenelin is pumping tempers are flared. if your getting lit up while walking off, and your not crossing a lane then yes you've been overshot.

in rec ball tho, lots of different people play rec, last week i played rec at an indoor field, and there was a coupld guys there who were from a team, and there were also a bunch of new kids there. the thing that bothers me is that the tourny players were playin with the rec kids like it was a tourny. they're walking around with there timmy's lighting up the kids with rented tippmans! that's wrong IMO. in one game i played with them, didn't see a player move and he had a lane on me (my mistake) my whole right side was open to him and i was looking left, he shot three times (all three broke and were visible to him) i put my marker up (he couldn't see it cause i was in a standing can) and instead of calling for a paintcheck (cause he could clearly see my hits) he lit me up like 15 more times, in a tourny that wouldn't bother me but in rec it's not right!

To me being overshot all depends on who you are playing with, I was new to paintball, hunkering inside of my safe little bunker, when I get bunkered, the guy shot me 20 times, and was shooting very very hot, the blood started seeping thru my shirt. But in another occasion, like an failed bunker move on your part, getting shot 15 times, you have to expect that.

Speedball: 3-10 balls
Rec: 1-3 balls
If i hate you: 1-empty hopper

Well...ive been shot 4 times in the shoulder (all within an inch or so of each other) by a gun that i KNOW was hot because the kid let me shoot it in a later game and it was doing like fricking 400 or something!!

WHY DO PEOPLE MAKE THEIR GUNS HOT??? I MEAN HIS WAS GOING SO FAST THAT THE BALLS WERE VEERING OFF AFTER LIKE 30 FEET!!! IF IT MAKES IT SO MUCH LESS ACCURATE, WHY THE HELL DOES THAT DUMB*** KID TURN UP HIS GUN LIKE THAT????

[peewee]

I will overshoot a wiper intentionally (cant wipe a case). I over shot a kid last time I played indoor by accident felt like crap. I came around a corner with a 12 year old tag along guy popped around the end of a spool shot my tag along & I shot a 3 round burst he fired a couple shots again so I triple tapped again saw them break on the goggles. When I came off the field the guy was standing there with three welts (bloody type) right on his Adams apple. Evidently my first three were on target & his extra shots were from his finger twitching on his A5 RT. Six shots to the head & throat not good.

if i get shot mkore than 5 time in rec that is normally overshooting. there are instances where a string of paint will be coming at me and as i stand up to come out i get lit up, but thats life.
in tourney expect 10 or more to be overshooting. more strings flying everwhere, you gotta be careful even when you are going to teh deadbox.
wipers that wipe a shot that i seen break=alot of paint flying at them

[crewbe]

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

i agree with luke.

also this next part is more then a rant than anything else. what realy annoys me are the players who take there time walking to the dead box and get pissed off when they get hit 4-5 times while walking threw a lane of paint. 9 out of 10 times the person on the other side is not aiming for them they just happend to get hit cause there too slow goin to the dead box.

[trains are bad]

What they are trying to do half the time in tournaments is get the guy to stop shooting to give his teammates an advantage. People around here often take a specific route to the deadbox that might coordinate with a move. Sneaky.

Like if I walk down the right side of the field the person was to the right side of my bunker, if I walk down the left he was left and if I walk down center he was centered. If my gun is in my left hand he was back towards there side, if its in my right hand he was close to teh 50 or on our side.... sneaky like that

Oops.. wasn't supposed to tell.. and yeh, coordinating your moves by using dead players from the other team or your own also is an interesting moral dilemna... easily solved by just doing it... er I mean, not doing it

[PBX Ronin 23]

Shoot them until they walk-off or give a very clear signal that they've just called themselves out. Rec or tourney, sometimes people just don't want to leave the field. You just have to 'compel' them........

Paintball is a gladitorial sport. You have to "take" even though it's something that you wouldn't neccessarily "give".

Plus in the age of 15bps, you get hit by the 5th ball and there's 10 just like it coming your way.

[mag88888]

for rec ill shoot 3 at ant time, so they dont wipe. 1 and theyll wipe. but 3 theyll just forget it and walk off. but if im in a tourney then ill shoot until they call out.

[mobsterboy]

sorry for doing this, but i've got to

OVERSHOOTING? what is overshooting? So maybe thats what the noobs were yelling about when they went from no breaks on them to fully covered and limping! I donno

If you can't be like and then think back to that game and be like when the other team was like and pretending to win like , then theres no sense in dressing like , especially if everytime you do , the other team is like and then goes running to mommy like .
