Paintball Sniper
Paintball Sniper is a player who is patient, can play
alone and is extremely confident in his own abilities to make the “kill
shot” when it comes down to it. Paintball Snipers are usually
perched up in hidden place, unaware to other players. It is usually
a player with a great shot who is the sniper.
Paintball Snipers do not need a ton of special equipment, just a good
sense of where to hide and when to shoot. With good strategy, smart
thinking and a little bit of luck a snipe can be anyone who wants to
be it. The distance a paintball can fly is directly dependent on the
speed a ball is traveling when it leaves the barrel. Since safety dictates
that a ball leave the barrel at under 300 fps, very few upgrades will
increase the distance that you can shoot from.
Since most guns shoot about the same distance, be sure that you find
a gun that is accurate and consistent. The key to being a good Paintball
Sniper is the ability to hit your target on the first try. A gun that
does not consistently shoot the same speed or if there is significant
variation in where the ball goes from one shot to the next will not
allow for one-shot kills which are vital to the position.
