Heres the truth: You can go behidn enemy lines and try to pick people off, but unless your playing against newbies, your just going to get overrun easily because tehre is no front between you and the other team.
Heres teh fantasy: You have a 21" barrel on your pump marker decked out in full ghillie suit and you hit people from a mile away.
First off, unless your a trained person, your little ghillie suit you bought at the local army navy store is just a $150 pair of utilities with some fake leaves and burlap.
A ghillie suit needs to be constantly adjusted, andI don't just mean before every game. Ghillie suits are used in thickly vegetated areas, places where 3 foot tall grass are there. Not a cleared out paintball field with some wooden bunkers.
SO lets say you managed to find of the very few fields that has an untouched natural field with foliage that provides enough cover to utilize a ghillie suit. Now what? You go onto teh field, and pick out a location.
First off, picking a location is a time consuming thing. You need to scout for a location that has a good vantage point, and a place where nobody can easily sneak up on your 6. You also need a thickly vegetated part of the field.
So your set up, and it probably took you a good 15 minutes to a half hour to find a good location. During those 15 to a half hour of minutes, you were more then likely to have encountered some of the other team. SEriously, how are you going to get behind enemy lines like that? sure holes exist, but getting through them at the right time would take either a) luck, or B)an infrared sattelite.
Now you've got your spot. Time to ad vegetation to your ghillie suit. You need to gather foliage from teh area you'll be sniping from, but you can't just chop down a bunch of tallgrass and take a bunch of leaves form teh ground. That would disturb the area signifigantly.
Take a little bit form here and there, and camouflage yourself up. And another thing that is really retarded... A bush with boots. Cover your shoes.
So you've managed to get yourself into the bush in your ideal location.
A good 45 minutes to set up. Game's over, time to head back to the staging area.
Paintball is too fast for snipers.
IT doesn't have the required time and accuraccy and distance, as well as much of the stealth methods, nor does it include the right kind of vegetation.
Its possible, but its like waitign for all the planets to line up. Too much depends on the field your in...
