what a paintball sniper really is and does:

i keep getting that paintball snipers dont exist, one is you cannot see them 'cause they are well concealed, that is if they are playing the role, and yes they do exist. every scenerio i been to I get this "your going to be eliminated so fast" and all i say to them is we shall see who gets eliminated. next thing you know is players are being eliminated one by one by single ( or 2 shots, it happens) and no one knows where they came from, at the end of the game, the very same players who say snipers dont exist or ill be eliminated so fast now ask, "what marker do you use" or "what upgrades do you have on your marker" or they will say "nice ghillie suit" all i tell them is paintball snipers do exist whether you like it or not. and when they ask me what a paintball sniper really is or does i tell them.

people say paintball snipers only camp, what a paintball sniper really does is go well behind his/her opposing team's lines and elimiate players. in order to be successfull, one needs to know the tactics, a few being cammoflage and concealment and most importantly stealth, this may be the reason why peoplle say PB snipers dont exist, cause they dont see them and think all they do is camp, meanwhile the exchange of paint is happening this lone or paired sniper (team) is on the move behind enemy lines, moving from one location to the next eliminating key players, so pb snipers do not camp. And i can tell ya, there are some really good players out there, but there are others that play the role poorly due to the lack of understanding and tactics of this position, nothing wrong with that, like everything, practise makes perfect. but then there are others that camp throughout the scenerio and claim to be paintball snipers.

So there is a difference between a camper and the paintball sniper, a camper is one who stays in the same position throughout the game and waits for the opposing members to come to him/her. a paintball sniper on the other hand, is one who most of the time spends his/her time walking, crawling, crouching well behind enemy lines, eliminating players and key players, often relocating to another position and continuing eliminating players from a concealed position.

also the pb sniper must posess better marksmanship than your average player, we know that markers and paint dont have the accuracy nor the distance that a bullet has, but when it comes to eliminating a key player, lets say the general, you are not gonna spray and pray, as you will be spotted and even eliminated at the drop of the hat, which is why that one shot is crucial, but sometimes you have to shoot more than once, just cause the ball may not break upon impact or you may miss, which is normal, this is why cammoflage and concealment is crucial, as you have to get in real close to opposing team members to eliminate them then relocate without being seen, again due to the markers and paintball's innacuracy farther than their range.

Also another thing i almost forgot to mention is a paintball sniper must pocess patience. you may get off a shot and an elimination after 2 hours into a game, rather than just firing paint down range. if you do not have patience you will not succeed.

So ever wonder where that single shot that hit you on the mask came from and yet you see no one nor any sign of movement within the brushes? well now you know.

I hope this finally clears things up as i am sick and tired to hear that either, pb snipers dont exist, pb snipers camp, or pb snipers are useless, a player who knows the role well will be extremely hard to eliminate that I can gurantee you.
