Who needs to aim? Angel speeds suck.

high bps= tourney players
bounce= not acceptable
high bps= NOT rec-ball
low bps= rec ball.

High Bps = Rec Ballers with 200 bucks, yes for 200 bucks you can shoot huge rates of fire now. Its progress, it's happeneing and it's not going away.

Kids want it, their parents want it and hell we can't sell enough of it. ROF the crack of the new millenium

I don't think anybody goes to a paintball field not expecting to get hit, they just don't expect to get hit by 10-12 paintballs in a second. Also paintball is not SWAT or tackle football it a friggin game that can be played by a entire family. My son plays hes 15, my little girl who is 10 wants to play (it won't be at your field). Playing tourney you can get overshot real easy, but even then these players know when to let off the trigger, theres no reason to overshoot that much in the woods. Most of the guys with this type of macho attitude about the game is the cop type wanna-bes's who can't handle it in real life. Your story just does not add up. it sounds like you guys want to shoot like a tourney, just not get hit like one. And get your pink dress out, we may be able to shoot 14+ BPS, we just dont shoot a person with 14 BPS.

Unfortunately the fields in my area are littered with people who do that. I'm not condoning what was done and in fact hate 14bps+ shooting on a rec field. As I believe I said before, I used to shoot faster and long ago stopped finding it not very sportish and in fact not very fun.

That being said he's still my friend and I do enjoy playing with him.

So how do angel speeds suck again?

Then its time to take a stand. You need to tell your friend to control himself or to pound sand. If we don't ref ourselves sometimes we just condone the behavior.

BPS oh how you are an evil temptress....

I remember when I started playing paintball the rental markers where Bushmaster pumps, and "THE" semi auto (the only one they had at the field) was a mag. Then after a couple of years they got pro-am's when they came out (i think that was the name of it, one of tippmans guns) and the style of play changed, people where shooting faster and the 500 rounds that we would barely use in a day turned into 1000-1500 rounds used now.

Around that time I bought a 68 carbine and was able to hold my own while I played.

Pretty soon I started playing with more players that shot cockers and mags, and wanting to move up into tourny play I decided to go the mag route. The mag was fast at the time I bought it, the BPS wasn't over kill and I felt it kept me at the same level as others. At this time I saw the first "Angel" that was out and everyone was ooing and ahhing over the thing, and to be honest it was scary going up against it with a classic mag.


Life happened and I took a good 4-5 years off from paintball, letting my mag collect dust.

I just started to play again recently, and was playing at a local indoor field, and I came to the realization extremely quickly that I was out gunned with my old mag. I was playing against spyders....spyders people and they where out shooting me speed wise because of the new e-frames they have.

I crumbled after that...and went out and bought a faster gun. Now I can through back just as fast as the other guy.

But now comes the problem, over shooting. I was playing against a friend and had a nice clear line on him, so I let loose and ended up putting 5 shots right into his back/shoulder and I felt bad about over shooting him. I ended up appologizing to him after the game and he told me not to worry about it. If your fingers can do 15bps, and thats what you train them to do in 1/3 of a second you would have placed 5 shots on target.


Its kind of sad, I have only had my new gun for a couple of weeks but I'm honestly thinking of going back to my 68 carbine and my 8bps....

A fast gun does not make a player....

I have been in one on one games with my stock A-5 and taken out cockers and shockers....its all in how you play :)

I see your A5 vs Shocker and raise you VSC Phantom vs Angel Speed

Kid was a cocky SOB.. very new and had gotten his hands on a serious marker. Well one day I went one on one with him and wasted him, it was great.

Or the time I bunkered him with the Phantom - but it doesn't entirely count, because his back player might have looked the other way as I did it...
