Most disturbing thing I've seen on PBN in a while

[BigEvil]

Yes but does it matter? Be it a bb, airsoft, pellet, replica, or real firearm it doesn't matter... What it fires is irrelivent(sp?), it looks real.

Oh, I agree totally, I was just pointing it out.

I think my post on that thread will speak for itself.

He needs a quick thump to the forehead.

Your post is drawing the typical fanboi responses, save one. I wanted to discuss this a bit before posting on there, simply because I think it is a perfect example of the cultural issues facing our sport. WDP has been especially bad in this respect, with their "man goo" tanks and "rasta" fades/tatoos.

Yes I noticed that. I am actually shaking in my boots in fear that dude is going to show up at my door and smite me....

The gun looks fake

The gun looks fake

Thats not really the point.

EDIT-Fake guns get people killed too. Remember the recent school shooting where the kid was packing the fake Beretta? He's just as dead as he would have been if he were carrying a real gun.

exactly to the point, and not only that, read that guy's sig

something wrong therer?

whats wrong with his sig? he fights for his company/macdev militia?

O yea and the rasta fades and firearms honestly get over it, the little kids will be ok,majority of them are already exposed to that type of stuff anyways,and as someone on there said that is one of the more mature marker forums on pbn..your name calling did no good and could be considered just as bad as the firearm issue,your exposing little kids to bad language I dont see the point in it but i dont see the harm either...

Assassin wear. Straight killers. Not exactly terminology that is going to endear the sport to the American public, or parents of younger children.

If "El Tigra" (Post #12) is supposed to be in Spanish it isn't correct.

Why did I point that out? Because I can't add anything to this thread that hasn't already been said. It is pretty stupid, and God help anyone if some punk kid with anger issues shows up with a gun tucked into his pants and gets mad at a ref or fellow player.

again, exactley what i meant, is it not true that many people(kids) are influenced by what they see? they see someone wearing macdev with a gun, they assume thats the "cool" way to be and again, a fake gun is just as dangerous as a real one..... and what i meant was the "assasins/srt8 killa" part, we must remember people are impressionable

f "El Tigra" (Post #12) is supposed to be in Spanish it isn't correct.

Wow I really started a fire over there. Its a shame as it wasn't really my intention.

Thanks to those who came to my defense. I appreciate that there are other people mature enough to consider the results of such a thing on a PB site frequented by kids.

Is it just me or did all signs of controversy just up and "walk" away?

#1 He represents a major manufacturer, Macdev

#2 Young, impressionable kids play paintball

#3 Why in the HELL does having a gun tucked in the small of his back have anything to do with the new Macdev pants and jersey?

Our sport tends to glorify violence too much already, from the "scarface" fascination/merchandise to the prominence of fights/overly aggressive behavior in paintball videos. Now we have manufacturers suggesting that wearing concealed firearms is cool.

And you don't see a problem with that?

To be honest it looks similar to the grip frame of some old, old school pumps (using co2 cartriges). SOme of those pumps were just a little larger than a handgun...

I hope he puts it in the front and shoots his weiner off...
