I usually play with a pump in the morning, a Phantom or Sniper, and only
switch to a semi in the afternoon when my old butt is getting tired. I
honestly believe that playing with a pump will improve your game skills, you
have to think your way through situations, and you have to shoot straight,
you can't cover up for other failures by just hosing paint. It's a shame so
many players today haven't tried pump, but it seems now most folks just want
to be mindless machine-gunners, they don't know what they're missing.

Nice! Glad to see someone actually using a pump gun, and knowing how to use
it, too!

Of course, that can't top my best story: (*grin*)

I've got my PGP in hand, and it's attack and defend, and I'm bored, so I
decide to do something stupid. We're attacking, and I'm in position to rush
the objective. I *thought* there was one, maybe two guys left. I make a
run towards the objective(well, elephantine gait would be more appropriate),
a van that the attackers must touch for the win.

Since I am going for the glory, I want to eliminate the opposition, rather
than touch the van. There is a guy kneeling at the front of the van, I pop
him in the goggles, and I'm around the corner of the front of the van before
I can reload. There are 7 other guys behind the van. Seven.

With nothing left to do but make as much blustery noise as possible, I start
*SCREAMING* "SURRENDER!!! SUUURRENDERRRR!!! PLAYER SURRENDERRRRR!!!" and
waving my gun around. All seven of them surrendered to me.

Then, I realized that one guy was left inside the van, I yelled at him to
surrender as well, but he fired back. I come around the van, and pop him in
the chest with another shot. That's 9 guys with 2 shots.

My most impressive paintball "fish tale" ever...

I think that all my years playing with the original Splatmaster really made
me a better player. i watch the paintball championships on tv and can't
figure out why all they do is spray and pray. my kids play that way, and
all i have to do is sit in the woods and wait for a clear shot. they go
through 1000 balls in the same time i go through 50, and i get as many
kills.

oh man. I'm surprised those guys didn't give you 20 bucks each to never
say anything about that again

I got my buddy bill to surrender as he was on the outside wall so I just
shoved my phantom through the window and into his side and yelled
surrender. He did..

But When i got to the back I saw ryan and was yelled for him to surrender
-- but his dad was in the same room and turned around bringing his a5 up,
so I shot Ryan, spun behind the door dodging the a5 onslaught, pumped and
turned and got him right in the chest. Normally I try to surrender
people in the house, but i've been burned more than once trying to
surrender more than 1 person at a time. The other guy usually fires
while one surrenders -- dang I hate that

9 with 2 shots wow

nice one

ya. We started playing in the early 90's with various pumps -- I had a
'nightmare' (no hopper just 20 shots and a 9 gram) and a pmi piranna.
Then we quit playing for a while got back into it in the last few years
again.

I had given all my paintball stuff to a bud who moved away and last
weekend he showed up and dropped all our old gear off --

Just in time for my a5 to go down so it was retro city -- especially when
my bro broke a line on his impulse. We old schooled em good this weekend


Thing about pumps are the first shot -- man you gotta be sure you're on
target cos once you shoot you've given away your position and can expect
a rain of helfire from all those electros.

I had never used a phantom before -- it was in with all the old gear. My
bud must have picked it up somewhere -- damn nice pump. As much as I
love my wood handled piranna the phantom was waaaay more accurate.

good times
