That statement, "the more..." is often one mentioned by newbs who are trying to make up for their poor aim, or lack of other qualities, to make them sound cool. Doesn't matter how much paint you fling, it only takes one to take a guy out. Give me a low bps gun, and better aim, over poor aim and high bps anyday.

poor aim has little to do with slinging lots of paint. I personally have played pump my entire time as a player. The first gun I shot was a nightmare pump and i didn't understand its cool factor untill I later got into pump hard core.
Pump is the best training tool avalible to paintball players. I could play a few rounds with a pump and then switch out to one of my paint slingers matrix alias what ever I am using at the time. So after a few rounds with a pump I feel like I have twice the power with a semi again. You use the skills you learn with a pump to go on to tourney play as well PUMP IS NOT for rec and woods players only.
the idea that the chiply team is proof...well as far as I know they don't even play pump hard core let alone win like they had in the past. They all use j2s sure but they use the eversion talk to weezel about this cause I dont' know I don't live it.
Shooting in bulk has become the game to win in tournements you need to shoot paint. Pump or even stock players do not win by taking one shot one kills in speed ball they win by using it conservativly. So if you have the ability to shoot 5 balls in that second they shoot two and insure that both go in the right place. You can play speed ball with the mental picture that you will wait for the right shot each time. A phantom is great for a front player. small compact tiny profile and when you bunker you can drop to a knee and slide in while auto triggering sure you can fail but its all so small and light you can do great things.
If you search my posts youll see im a huge fan of pump play. but there are certain ways of play that doesn't do justice. If you are pumping because you want to snipe and only use one shot than in my opinion you are in for the wrong reasons. You should be playing pump because you want to experience something harder more extreme and more fun. I find that I am just jumping with excitment after a good pump round.
