Disclaimer- I in no such way take any responsibility for your or your teammates actions on the field. If you want to wipe, fine. Im not saying that I wipe, all Im doing is informing people who want to know the little things about getting rid of hits. Im not a pro, Im just telling what I know from experience and what I have seen done. Continue on if you wish to learn, or wish to add.
On another note, if your a reff or want to spot cheaters, read the following. If your hunting an animal, you know specifics about it, its foot print, marks it could leave on trees, methods of camoflaguing(sp) itself, etc. By reading this you'll know what too look for, if you see someone doing one of the following actions, you'll know what there up too and know what too look for and know to get there before all evidence is gone.
Do not clutter my thread with posts about how gay wiping is and stating I should be banned and all who wipe should be banned. If you think wiping will go away, the following is why it wont:
Now, on to the good stuff.
Goggle hit-The most satisfactory feeling in the world is wiping a goggle hit. Dont wear a visor on airball, and if you get shot in the face, shove your mask in the bunker and turn your head, and presto, no more goggle hit. Use your hand to touch it up a little if need be. I've heard this is very hard to do with Dye masks, I know for a fat it works with proteus/flex 7 masks.
Gun hits-Wiping gun hits can be such a pain in the *** on guns with milling and cockers......jesus christ, ever tryed to wipe a hit on an adrenalin angel? good luck, i was considering getting a gun with no milling what so ever, like a stock IR3 or stock LCD so I wouldnt have that problem, but then i realized what good is winning if you dont look good doing it? At least if I lose i'll look good...but whatever.
Off the break- Chest hit off the break? No problem, do the pete rose dive into the bunker. It looks a little suspicous for us back guys going to a enter can or soemthing, so use this accordingly. This works well for fronts, because your expected to dive, make sure whatever part thats hit comes in contact with the ground.
Backs- off the break, put your hand over your mask to shield it from any balls coming in. The ball is more likely to bounce off your hand (which would have hit your face) and if it doesnt bounce, just grab your gun and keep the hit on the handle. Reach for a pod or get on the ground and get rid of it.
Hoppers- Hopper hits are easy, just go to "reload", but drop to your knees to do so and wipe it off on your leg or knee. If you get hit in the side of the hopper, rub it against a bunker, but dont be obvious. Hide it for a few minutes and act like its not there, if no reffs saw it, wipe it off on the bunker.
The key is to make getting hit as subtle as possible, and to have as little reaction as possible. If you jump around when you get hit there gonna know if you stay in.....so if you get gogged, you gota be lax and always know where the reffs are, pay as much attention to the reffs positions and where they look and such as you do to whats going on. Theres so much more to paintball then being able to snap, play a bunker tight, etc. Being good at wiping is adding a whole different dimension to the game. Once you get the basics down, your golden, because you be creative and see what works at your own risk, or try tryed and true methods of wiping. Its up to you, Im in no way supporting people who want to wipe, I do it when i feel its nessacery, more importanlty I feel its justified. If you wipe and get caught its your own damn fault, and when everyone else stops wiping I'll stop, but we all know that aint gonna happen....
Feel free to add your own little hints and tips. Again, use these at your own discretion and more importantly, your own risk. Would paintball be a better place without wiping? Yes, of course, but theres always going to be people who will goto any lenght to win, so you mine as well learn how they do it. It may help you in more then just the obvious ways.

i thought this was interesting.... discuss.

It's a whole 32 pages of people arguing about wiping, and thrown in every page is a kid saying "If you get shot in your chest, just do a super man dive."
Good way to get rid of goggle hits, reach around to get your squegee on your lanyard. Your elbow will come in contact with your mask, bing bang boom, all gone.
