It is great for large fields. You can walk down the center of the field shooting a few rounds every now and then, upon the enemy hearing the sound they automatically look. You approach the enemy shooting occasionally while a large group flanks them.

With the dishka, you become the primary target and the heavy gunner to support advancements even if you do not have that much firepower. One LOUD distraction.

Well that may work for some people, but not me, that's all I'm saying.

i see most of you guys play woodsball. I only play speedball and i wish i can play woodsball some time but it seems to long.

BTW, 35 bps is almost not real. MOstly high end guns can only shoot that much but u will need a very nice hopper. Maybe a halo b with a new board, rip drive, cone, etc. you also wouldnt need to shoot 35 bps when you can easily get them out at 15 bps or even 1 bps. In tournaments, they only allow 15 bps unless it is NPPL which is uncapped semi.

Like I said man, the only thing on that gun that was original was the frame itself. And I know good and well you don't need that much firepower. Waste of money, I was just pointing out the fact that if you feel so inclined to do so, the TL-R is easy to mod.

Everyone likes to drink their own cup of tea.

Lol, Paaiyan, its dangerous to generalize too much :P I understand the point you are trying to make though. Some people like the high rate of fire, it is useful in certain situations, so what if it is wasteful? They choose to play like that, it doesn't effect you in any way. I see any game as a chance to gain skill and have fun, weather I am helping newbs into the sport or playing against hardcore speedballers. I only get upset if someone cheats because it takes the fun out the game.

i like to play speedball the most, not because i "spray and pray" but because i like the close quarters more than woodsball. i use a spyder electra '05 and it works amazingly, ive got a ceramic 14" barrell on it that helps the accuracy, and i can get 22bps semi. even though i can get going that fast, i rarely do. mostly jsut put a spray on someone's bunker for intimidation, then run up and rape someone. ive played speedball with a pumpgun before, its jsut very tough to get much accomplished because while ive got one shot every second, the guy im trying to take out has 15 or 20. it just doesn't seem practical to me, but if other people wanna play like that, its up to them
in the upcoming presidential election, there will be several candidates who will be running, one of whom is Hillary Clinton. Now WAIT A SECOND!!! I though there was some sort of rule that prevented someone from serving more than two terms in office. Vote Against Hillary: Presidential Elections 08

The reason I do.It isn't practical that's what makes it so fun.
I've played with a blade from Walmart before(shoved my revvy on top for fun).Owned the speedball field too.Got quite a few Angel owners mad.

I still prefer scenario games though.I have an aversion to being shot 15 times at point blank range.And the fact that all the other speedballers wipe my hits.Just cause I don't have another ten heading the same way to make sure they STAY hit.

My phantom is down right quiet and deadly on a one on one.

LOL!! that made my day. I prefer woodball, it takes more strategy and thinking, plus marksmanship, as opposed to who has the fastest shooting gun, and who can run fast and hide good.

going 20 bps on an electra is bullshit. the board is capped at 14. It says it can reach 30, but it cant shoot that fast. Unless, you made a new board for your electra that is a bunch of bullshit.

I disagree, hiding well can make a lot of difference, that's why I'm making a ghillie suit. :D

the electra board is definetly not capped at 14, unless the chrony at my paintball field is ramping my shots to 22 bps.
