mech guns and pro teams

[WARPED1]

It would be great to see the leagues put a restriction on Electros and make the players rely on accuracy. Not Sprayin' and Prayin'. I'm not saying Electros are not fun though. Yeah it's cool to blast 30 bps, but there really isn't a point. Maybe just to impress people.

They did. Sort of. The PSP 15 BPS rule. But ramping is allowed.

Soopa, how many random, completely un-thought-out posts are you going to make? You need to get a firm grip on reality here; in tournament paintball today, high ROF is important, and fast electros are needed to win.

AGREED

Don't be too rough...

Soopa's just excited about his new Tac, we all felt that way with our first Mag.

Although I think I had more posts than him just 2 months ago...

LOL if you go to any real paintball turny and bring a mech gun to play with.... its like bringing a knife to a gun fight....

Nah, more like driving a Mini Cooper in a Formula 1 race; sure it'll go the laps, just not as fast as the F1 cars will.

You make it sound like mechs can't shoot at all with the knife comparison. They shoot fine at 10-15 bps, they just don't typically shoot as fast at the electros can.

Good luck getting a good 10-15 bps, and shooting accurately. Most guys with electros can hardely get 14-15.

Oh, that's really too bad.

Send me your address, I'll see if I have one I can loan you. Then your life can be complete.

[sabrefanpc]

i was thinkin though, if they enforce the 15 bps w/ ramping, might someone who can shoot faster than that use a mech? just theoretically...

[PBX Ronin 23]

Higher rates of fire is not a requirement in professional level. It's a neccessity. Just like anything else, there's always a time and place for everything.

noobs.....

you will never ever see any serius terny player useing a mech. (unless its the rules to play in that truny wich will never happen.)

If they all shoot the same thing, then it works.


Yeah sure, noob my @$$..........

My 'Mag is 5 years old.

It also happens to be a MECHANICAL one also.

It's true that Mech guns are no longer used in tournments. Its VERY untrue on what SkyBoySurfer said. I used a stock Orracle through out the entire GPL season of 2003, and we did fine.

its not that skills aren't needed. Quite the opposite. But if you have one team of skilled players shooting at 10 BPS and an equally skilled team shooting at 15, guess who will win.

I saw a couple pros using mech cockers but they were upped to the max.
