Um.....dont do it. You look bad doing it and it is extremely hard to snap doing it. Use psp or 1 ball and gradually start walking slowly but you will pick it up.

It causes your off arm to stick out alot and makes your head stick out more then usual. I have a friend that does it and it isn't too pretty.

I don't do it playing semi, but I do during pump. Try pumping a marking with your off hand and maintaining your line. Yeah, not easy. Plus my pump setup is so small it doesn't hinder me.

Most players who have some paintball knowledge know to shoot out of the left side of the bunker with your left hand on the trigger and vice versa for the opposite side, but some people who don't know better, try and just use their main hand while coming out of both sides of the bunker. By using your right hand as your main while coming out the left side of the bunker, you expose more than needed.

it just takes practice, neosythe i know your from kc so you've problaly played jaegers, but i always used to wrap the bunkers there because i couldnt walk left handed, but you can lay down lots of paint and not walk it too fast
i mean 6-8 bps is all i ever really use my ion for if i'm just laying some paint and thats not too hard to hone in on with your off hand, i just practice when i'm watching tv, like, walk the gun, or walk a pencil, or just practice walking on your leg

It's a bad move, where you shoot on a side of a bunker with the hand postions generally used for the other side.

Cross shooting- Shoulder your marker as you normally would with your dominant hand. Now, keep your hands in the same position on the gun, but move it to you other shoulder and lean out that way. That's cross shooting. It creates poor form, but if you really really can't shoot off hand, then it's better than the alternative of leaning your whole body out the wrong side of the bunker.

Just practice it. You don't even need to be at the field, have any air or paint to practice, just find a couch or something in your house, pretend your playing and "shooting" out of the right side of your "bunker" normally, then switch left and try to mirror it. Switch back and forth until you can do it fast.

If you have air, then you can practice actually walking the trigger lefty at the same time.

if its what I think we're talking about, it actually makes you lean less if you practice it. it is however terrible form, and I will laugh at you for doing it.
it is the sign of a noob in my opinion.
at first I thought this thread would be about crossing it up with other players or something.

generally NEVER do it.

Unless you need to fire a quick lane off on the opposite side and need to come back shooting out the current side. Then it's okay.

I've never been in that situation, but it's not uncommon to find a pic of a xballer doing it.

The only time there is ever really an excuse to do it is when someone is doing a run through/coming to bunker you, and you're going to get blasted in the face if you don't switch sides to shoot back in the next 1/2 a second. Any other time you should take the extra second or two to properly hold your gun.

i'm practicing 2 shot burst out the left when i practice. Just getting the snapping down, just it's hard to lane out the left still and i use my right hand to make a stream. It's just hard to get my left going the same speed. I got it in sequence, just slow.

exactly, if you do everything right, it should never be done. But there is a time and a place for this sloppy gun handling.

Good point Bobide. Yeah, it can help if you really need to do it. If it can cause the game then do it. Just don't make it a habbit in the regular situations.
