i have some very bad toughts

Are you still as good with your mech then you are with your electro?

thank you for reading this it means a lot to me

To answer this question seriously. It doesn't matter much to me using a mech or electro. I've used mech mag for a very long time. Yes, they will be out gunned by the high end electros, but that just means you have to play not only harder, but smarter than your opponents. You are going to be the underdog alot of the time at first. Practice and learning skills of the game is the best advice and will help you no matter if your playing with a mech or an electro. A good attitude, humble begins, and desire to be better will get you futher in this game with more respect than being a self proclaimed catolog pro.

The only time the electro gun will outgun a mech mag on the field, is during the breakout. Ramping and other assisted mode of firing can be advantageous for shooting lanes during movement, but there are disadvantages of shooting fast as well. You inevitably have to load your hopper sooner and more often. Inopportune loading can mean missed opportunities on the field.

I bet you $1000 I can shoot faster w/ an electro WHILE reloading then you can on a mech.

Therefore....you still lose.

Yes, you can shoot faster, but for that moment, your concentration is not 100% on your target(s). That alone means you could be missing something going on somewhere on the field. Honestly, most of the time when you are shooting at someone in a bunker, the difference between 10 - 12 bps and 15 bps is not a great amount. You would be hard pressed to leave the bunker safely, nor would you want to. In either instance, if you were the shooter, you would feel quite confident making a move while the other player was hiding away from the incoming paint.

The electro guns with ramping do have the advantage in certain instances, but once settled into the game, the playing field levels out quite a bit.

Not true. I never take my eyes off the field while reloading...good players never do.

I'm also not saying a few bps is a great difference but I'm going to shoot 15 a HECK of alot easier than you are with a 'legal' mag. You'd be lucky to break 6-8 max during most situations on the feild tilting the 'focus' card in my favor again should you deciede to try anything faster.

And FYI , shooting at a bunker w/ a high ROF does no one any good regardless of what gun your using. The major difference (during a game) is snap shooting. Your 2-3 shots to my 8-10 IS a huge advantage....whether you believe it or not.

Just so you know , your talking to a guy that plays pump regularly. I am VERY aware of the difference ROF makes in all aspects of the game no matter how good you are. The key is knowing how its an advantage and how to take advantage of it.

[RRfireblade]

Oh , BTW....

I play exclusively stock class pump...imagine reloading paint AND air a half dozen times a game.




Unlike many of these 'pump guys' using bulk air and loader.

Yes, and you have a better idea of the limitations of ROF than most people. I switch between pump, semi, and electro. There is an advantage to ROF with skill. ROF without skill, well I like shooting people like that with a pump

i try to make a thread that would benifit me and some others but all you AO mother ****ers do is hate on people. pbnation is way better ten here becuase i being a 2k4 meber get respect from other people and i do not get made fun of for making threads that benifit other people so thanks a lot and have a ****ing great *** day i hope you all die you*****es burn in......hell

Is it me, or does this seem like what we on AO hate most about pbn?
Lay off the cussing. Cussing is a great way to get banned, a great way to get ignored, a great way to make yourself seem like an 8 year old, but not such a good way to make friends or prove a point.

And you should definately get a mech... lay off the speed for awhile and refresh your basic skills.

It defineately seems like the quality of posts has gone downhill. I haven't been here forever like some people, but when I was getting into mags, I had no trouble whatsoever researching and learning what I needed to on my own. Search is there for a reason, and unlike on pbnation it actually works. Everyday here there is a new thread with someone with under 20 posts asking a question that they could easily answer themselves by research before anyone replies to their thread. Please keep AO the best paintball forum on the net. I already have to wade through vomit to find info on pbnation, I don't want AO to end up the same way.

/rant over, just think before you post

You'll have fun with your mech mag. Unless your opponent is ramping, you won't be outgunned. Many people do fine playing pump, mech is no great handycap.
