Boomer, there is something truly, truly satisfying about spotting someone, aiming, and firing one, just one, paintball, and seeing their confusion as they cannot, for the life of them, figure out who just shot them from where.

You owe it to yourself to experience this, dude.

i know this was for the pros of pump but i took out my er2 the other day and remembered how much of a blast pump really is. i might not have gotten alot of people out persay (my fps was really low. only around 230 most of the time and so i was getting bouncers) but it not only made me play harder and with mor efundamentals (only used in woods not on speedball field) but it made me use a heck of alot more teamwork by calling where they were and working with others to advance. honestly i just feel since you are already at a disadvantage your adrenaline pumps (no pun intended) more and so the feeling is more memorable.

It will make you a better player hands down. You become very patient, your forced to pick your shots, also forced to make correct moves the first time. Attempt to play against pump players on Air-ball and we will make you pay for all the mistakes you make when you play semi.

I switched because I got bored just laying paint down a lane. Don't get me wrong it was fun but you essentially wait for a guy to grow a pair and make a run for it. Even then you hope something hits him.

I like it that I have to think of what I am going to do, how am I gonna make my shots count, and there's nothing better than putting one on another's player's mask, especially if he's shooting an electro and he's been pelting your bunker for a minute or two.

While my ultimate goal is to go pump and have some fun with that, right now my financial situation is at a point where in order for me to do as well I as I want in the tournaments I am in, I need to stick with electro and pay for the fees and paint with the money I would for a pump. Thank you for all your help guys but right now pump isn't right for me. I'll get there eventually

i started playing back in 1983 with a punp went through all the semis through the years but always played pump it made me a better semi player .even when i played pro still played pump,it takes more tatics to use a punp. but this in my opinion
