RT for a backplayer

[GT]

Unless paintball is rediculously different outside of the East Coast [we'll forget DVDs and such..], backmen aren't doing too much snapping. As a backman myself, I lane.. and lane.. and lane. Elims don't mean anything to me, that's not my job. My job is to suppress the other team so I can tell my fronts where/who to shoot, and let them put paint on bodies.

word,
I want my backman lanning and directing traffic not playing snapy, snap while the front men get bunkered.

frontmen are blind to the action a lot of the game... its up to the back guys to let them know whats out there. If the back cannot control the lanes, then new players can move into the bunkers that leave your frontmen exposed... RTs are too slow legally to provide lane-clogging fire. this said, you're better off with an e-mag (has the RT style valve) or any other electro that can top 10 bps... yes, even at a measly 10bps, the time that one can spend in a lane is minute at best. but that is enough to get the job dont... MOST of the time... i play tape an mid a lot, and when i do i use a mech marker... but if i'm called on to play back, its all about the ICD freestyle, cause you HAVE to be able to shoot ropes.

As a backman, you'll need more than an RT Custom to do the job. I recommend an electro with eyes. If you want to be different than the Impulse-owners, I suggest an Intimidators. They're simple to maintain, and easy to use, not to mention extremely fast.

Hit me up with either an email or an IM, and I can hook you up with an Intimidator for a great price.

talk to can_opener about playing backman with an RT. me him and 2 of our friends took 3rd in a 3-man tourney this weekend with him using an RT the entire time.i play front and never felt like there wasnt enough paint flying over my head to protect me. ive had him give me better cover fire than some dm4's and timmys. it takes some practice, but you can shoot fast with an rt. www.zakvetter.com has videos, etc about how to shoot fast legally with an rt. i use the same technique when i shoot my rt.

EDIT: note: i have found that both me and can_opener are faster without the ult, but with the stock on/off because when fired correctly you can use the force of the trigger to your advantage.
