"Level 10 doesn't chop"

are you joking? i CANT chop a ball with my lvl10.. ive done all the tests on the lvl10 cd (except put my tongue in the breach.. im a wuss"

well.. so far ive put 1.5 cases through my mag with 0 chops.. and i dont have a fast hopper. i love it when i hear it go tsss and not chop my paint.. im like hells yeah

so anyways.. biggest gimmick? bps definitely.. and "having a drop foreward is stupid.." whats up with that?

[Chris_automag_07]

20 bps spyder, outrageous price of gear/guns, ......scented fill(i don't care if it is a gimmick...i love it....nothing better than someone being able to smell who shot them)

[ramennoodles]

Damn, that's a good one. I didn't think about scented fill.

some stuff SpecOps sells, the longbow etc.

As I do respect your opinion, I cannot quite say its a gimmick. A gimmick would be pure BS. Spec Ops products aren't BS. They are just another line of scenario gear that have a bit better function that others. They make air-through stocks (as opposed to people making them, for some people wouldn't even know where to start). I have an A-5 with some Spec Ops stuff for it, and their products are really pretty good. As far as the Longbow, I cannot say it improves the Tac-One, but I can say if thats what one wanted for their style of play, than its a good product. A lot of people enjoy the longbow. Its all about what one wants for their style of play.

PBN and the attitude that floats around it. Why is it that in paintball, people have to refer to things in such a lame manner? Why does a paintball gun have to be a "gat"? Why do people have to "Kill Suckers", be "Serial Killers" or "Contract Killers"; and how exactly are those things paintball related (other than being crappy names for products)?

This is something that really annoys the hell out of me.

I must concur whole heartedly!

Funniest reply ever! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Smart Parts "SFT innovation" :rofl:

id agree with this one, because a ton of shockerowners think its something specific to their marker, not realizing every marker made does the samething, minus trapt door designs like the epic or alien

barrels IMO

one .689 tube isnt going to make your ball fly straighter or further than any other .689 tube

I agree.

Spec-ops parts aren't "gimmicks" anymore than fancy ano is. In fact, for scenario play having a stock (or whatever part) can help your game depending on your style of play. A bright orange/green/yelow gun isn't going to help anything other than your "standing" in the staging area no matter what type of game you play.

I'm not saying that fancy ano is stupid, just using it as an example of something that would be more of a gimmick then the functional spec-ops parts. In fact many of the milsim parts out there are just as cosmetic as fancy ano.

have to go with the obvious, lvl 10 does not chop

[NinjaoftheNight79]

Ano is ok for most speedball. If your playing in bright bunkers in (ussually) bright jerseys, then your marker color is optional.

[hitech]

I'd have to say after barrels it would be low pressure. Then again, I was in I&I sports in San Jose and heard the guy behind the counter tell the customer that the marker he was purchasing was more accurate because it was a closed bolt...

The need for high ROF is another one...

Do you guys (other than rkjunior303 who I know was kidding) really believe that the L10 is a "gimmick?"

Why'll it's not the most perfect thing ever created for paintball, it does work well and can hardly be called a gimmick. I mean come on, it allows high rates of fire in a gun without eyes for god sake. When it came out it made a lot of our (mag users) paintball lives better.
