yeah, its funny when you tell people "its a mag" . i shot a devilmag and in the 3 weeks i've had it, i can't count the number of people who have asked what kind of shocker is that and when they see it rip that can't be a mag? alot of new players at emr in north pa. think a mag is some sort of missing link. like i own the very last one in existance. it's like i got bigfoot on display.

Lately I've been asked what is the thing hanging in the front? When I reply it is the 18v battery they think it is cool, "so they say". I think you just had a bad day and were cranky. I like questions about mags because I feel I can answer their question better than some yahoo that never even shoot a mag on some other online forum.

Ya...but when I go to the siege, it seems like there is allways atleast one mag there. If not 10 or 11 , why I remember one time there were so many mags there it was being refered to as mag day!

good i hate people who rely on there guns,thinking the guns= all the skill. And they are ALWAYS to scared to play guys with matrix's or nice cockers... it pisses me off so much i always say the best way to get better is play people who are better then you. and they say no i wouldnt stand a chance there guns are to fast.... instant me going dude wtf. ugh noob and play the guys with my rental piranha cuz my mag broke and i take out 2 of them. all im trying to say here is i hate newbs who rely on their gun(newbs can be anyone) and if you rely on your gun...your a newb.

Amen! Lol... My youth group went paintballing (Don't tease me, I know I'm young) and a few of them had their own guns. My teammate had his Angel Speed, and the other kids (Not counting me) had Spyders or Tippys. I brought the ULE Custom. Toward the end, the kids started leaving. There were 5 people from my youth group left. I ask if they wanta play 3 on 3, and a 17-year-old says he's afraid to play against me because I had a '$1,500 electro gun', while I was holding my $400 mech Mag. I told him that it wasn't like Sean's (Kid with Angel) gun. I let him shoot it and see. He was still scared, but wanted to play. I said I would let him and all the others use 3-shot burst, or I would go grab my pump Cocker. They went with me going pump (They basically refused to let me play unless I went pump, but I love my pump, so it was fun). One kid (Right before the game) kept thinking my gun would hurt more when and if he got shot by it. I let him go shoot it to see that it fires the same velocity as his 98C. Now they all had their hopes up, seeing that my gun was, in a sense, worse than theirs. We started the game, and I toom a pyramid at our 40 off the break. I see that most of them are like at the 20. They played the game out, while I fired every now and then, until it became a 2 (them) on 1 (Me). I guess they thought I wouldn't shoot or something (Well, I can see why; I hadn't been shooting much the 1st half of the game), so one tries to bunker me. Splatted him in the goggles. Then, me now at the 50, I shoot twice at their last man, and see him walk off. Afterwards, I asked if it was really as bad as they thought, since they had never played speedball, and they said they liked it. One of the kids is now a regular at the field. One kid asked if he could shoot my Mag against me one on one (Me having the pump still), and I still won, prooving that it's not the gun, it's the player's skill. They never said that they didn't want to play against my teammates after that (We played a 5 on 5, and me and four of my teammates played [evenly divided teams, though]).

Too long, didn't read:
Just work with the newbies, teach them. That's basically what I talked about up there.^^

REDRT:your right i was about to post that but you beat me to it. i was having a bad day, seriously. its just that i get soo many questions about paintball adni didnt really wanna talk about ti anymore for the time being. ive introduced many to the game, i loove to help new kids out. i scramble to look for guns and masks and air for them to use. i also pay for them for balls and crap. i may be losing my money but its great to see more peeps playing. noone has said that they didnt like it yet. all the kisd have either bought my spare guns or bought new ones. they all love it and im happy to be the one who introduced them.....

dude and im trying to say newbs arent only people who are new to the game. newbs are people who rely on there gun way to muhc, scared to play people with high end guns, and people who are not willing to learn to get good.

I'm not trying to knock you, but the generally accepted definition of a newb is someone who is new to the sport. If you are using it in a different way, you should state that in your very first post regarding newbs.

Again, no harm, no foul. Just trying to avoid future confusion.

understandable. see i play mmorpg's also and they use newb as a "name calling" remark to make fun of someone who does something dumb or acts like a new player so i use it like that kinda term for everything.

I ran into the same thing last weekend. Dad brought his kids with him, played 1 stinking game, then left them to fend for themselves while he sat in the car watching. They were scared, nervous, and unnagressive.(sp) I went out with them and talked them through a game we were in, stayed with them and guided them into a few tactics. The rest of the day they did really well. Take it easy on the newbs, cause someday they will help promote our great sport! It was really fun helping them out and i felt a great satisfaction afterwards. I think you were just having a bad day...
