Alright, I’ve been seeing this kind of thing posted everywhere and maybe I can shed some light. I grew up watching my Dad play professional paintball, specifically Speedball 10-man pro am in the NPPL. Couple of things to note: -Paintball matches like this are fast paced, meaning speed is king -Paintball guns are semi-auto, 1 trigger pull = 1 ball. Most guys have “double triggers”, and guns for competition are set to 15 balls per second MAX (Most guys who are playing regularly average between 10-13 BPS) -Do the math…. 10 players shooting 10 BPS is up to 100 balls PER SECOND, PER TEAM -If you’re not firing back, you’re an automatic target and will be picked off in seconds. Even just to peek and look, you better be firing. -Paintball hoppers (where you load) can only hold so many balls (150~200). Let’s put it all together. In paintball, you have 20 players slinging up to 200 balls per second, everyone is near firing the entire time EVEN while reloading. Players are actively moving closer and closer up the field attacking and defending, even just to look/peek. This entire sport is hectic. To win a match you have to dodge, follow targets, aim, shoot, move AND reload WHILE shooting faster than the other team. Not to mention, you’re yelling as loud as you can to communicate with your teammates. All that being said, good luck not spilling your balls from time to time. Even if you do, something in your hopper is better than nothing. Hope this helps!
Ok so IDK how this happened, but this comment ^^^^ was supposed to go onto a different video I was watching… One where the poster/commenters clowned players for spilling some of their paint while reloading mid match.
Funny how the eggy was a praised loader at the time and when I started playing 11 years ago it was what newer players used. Now you don't even see them anymore. I still use a revvy on my autococker though.
There were two big issues with the eggy - the balance wasn't great on a lot of markers (though I really liked it on a timmy) and the lid wasn't the greatest (especially if the shell wasn't well made and the seat for the springs broke).
I had this DVD! It’s long gone now unfortunately but the footage from this event was 🔥🔥🔥. The 10 man was great but so was the xball!
Man I loved those old school Karnivor's, awesome vids as usual.
Love the old vids. Keep em comin Traumahead!
