Most of my gun battles were over in less than a minute, not sure why that was but it might be because I was using Bob's Etek 3. 

The player makes the gun.

Dave,
think we should apologize to that chica we blasted as soon as she re-inserted?

naaaaaaaahhhhhh 

We were far enough away that if she had run we wouldn't have hit her... but she chose to walk. 

Her first mistake walking. Even being a chica doesnt give you benefits in this stuff.

LOL, thanks.  I've been thinking more about this and I believe I avoided a lot of protracted gun battles for two reasons:

1. The first shot went right where I wanted it to.  It didn't take a volley of ten paintballs to hit my intended target.

2. The marker is so narrow that when I had it up in front of my face it didn't block my field of vision, I could barely even see it, which means I could keep it up in the fire position all the time.  I usually keep my markers in the ready position because they block my field of vision somewhat and I don't mant to miss seeing an enemy.  Having the marker in the fire position already gives me a better chance of getting the drop on someone and getting that first shot off before they do.

I have to stop thinking about this marker or I'm going to do something to my credit card that may upset the wife...

So are you gonna have the new gun by the 5th? Roflmao No worries you can use it again next time we play, I'll be more than happy to use your ion.

I will say I was pleasantly surprised at how well the ion shot, even with the stock barrel. I shot out a bunch of people with it. Even though I say that I will still dislike Smart Parts and the way they tried to strong-arm the paintball community.

I enjoyed playing with you guys it was awesome. Speaking for my new M98C, it worked like a dream. Didn't break a single ball. It also seemed to be more accurate than my M98. Didn't misfire either. As far as gameplay, expanding the fields was a great thing. I was able to sneak up on people. I managed to surrender a few people. In the process I learned a valuable rule. If they hesitate, shoot them. I almost got nailed. Luckily the kid aimed high and hit the bunker. Something else i learned watch how you retreat. My one flanking manevure was cut short by a teamate. After Stocky shot at me and I shot back (apology accepted by the way) I went down to flank about 5 or 6 ballers before being shot at by my own teamate. However it was a great day. I look forward to the next game with all you guys. Until then have fun and stay safe. watch out for all the storms hitting the area.
