How so?

The longer barrel may not give me better accuracy over a 14" but the porting releases the CO2 more evenly, and slower than a 14 inch would, thus making the gun quieter.

The scope I need because not only do I snipe, but I also scout, and I use the mil-dots on the scope to calculate ranges.

I'm not a designated marksman, I'm a sniper, full ghillie suit and whatnot, so I don't run and gun. I set up shot in a well concealed place, and wait for a good shot.

well it looks cool, but that's about it; it's still a stock tippman underneath everything.

-Why do you need ot measure range if youre' not trying to shoot longrange?
-That barrel will actualyl use more Co2 than a shorter barrel will, while giving the same accuracy, etc. Plus ona tippman , a longer barrel will make it a walking stick instead fo a paintball marker.

sitting in a concealed space for hours at a time hoping somebody will walk by doesnt' seem like much fun, especially in something that's just a game.

The thing is that I do actually stay at longer ranges than my team, so I do shoot at longer ranges.

The other thing is that range finding capabilities are part of any sniper's job. The whole reasoning behind them is to relay information back to my team mates about where opposing players may be bunkered, or may be patrolling. Then from there the squad can make a decision on where it is best to engage the other team from.

A lot of people say that sniping doesn't exist in paintball, but I think that the Scout/Sniper combination is essential to tactics. Another thing is that sniping isn't about getting a lot of hits. Sniping is providing good retreat cover, or pinning an enemy down from longer ranges so that your team mates can do the job of engaging them.

BTW, my gun is long, but I'm used to it, because I used to snipe in the dreaded sport know as **AIRSOFT**. So I'm used to dealing with longer weapons.

I dont know what your talking about, this doesnt hurt the sport at all. Paintball is too board of a game to class somebody a nub just because you dont agree with them.

This is about his marker, so lets not turn this thread away from that. Its a little on the large side for me, but that is a pretty decent paint job. 6.5/10

Yes, a nice paintjob, but utterly useless in a real match.

How do you define "sniping". He uses his scope to scout, which is fine.
It also doesnt have to be useful. Not everybody buys stuff for upping the gun, some people like the looks and the "feel" of a mil style setup and thats perfectly fine.

Sniper- A sniper is an infantry soldier or other serviceman (e.g. police officer) who specializes in shooting from a concealed position over longer ranges (greater than the distance of two football fields) than regular infantry, often with a specially designed or adapted sniper rifle. A sniper requires skill in marksmanship, camouflage, and field craft.

By "No sniping in paintball," I mean that it's simply impossible to get a paintball to travel that far. Sure, you may pick off people from a concealed location, but that's just picking people off. Sniping is long-range.

Also- scopes are horribly innacurate in paintball. It's almost impossible to track where a ball lands from it's trajectory, and paintballs are no different. Usually with a scope, you are forced to aim much higher than your target, and then just pray that you will hit him/her/it. A scope doesn't help.

Here is another def.-A skilled military shooter detailed to spot and pick off enemy soldiers from a concealed place.
Many people know that in paintball you cant get balls further but they call themselves "snipers" because they can hide so well. Which is fine. When using the scope to hit people yes its useless, but people use it to see further.

by "sit in a concealed place" i think this guy means sit in the back and pray like heck he doesnt get shot.by shooting at "longer ranges" it means that people on the other team are probably smarter than to waste paint shooting that far at him. thus, he doesnt get shot at, which is what he wants.
