Greetings all !

:idea: Any chance for regular pump-gun only games at Riverside this Fall ?

Here are some of the positives playing pump only games as I see it.

1> The "pray & spray" technique that is common in semi-auto play would be non existant. Since a pump holds fewer paintballs and the rate of fire is slower--you must take careful aim to make every shot count.

2> Limited amount of ammo held by the gun and slow rate of fire forces everybody to use stealth and strategy to win.

3> The pace of the game is a lot slower and the fire fights are a lot slower. This would be a HUGE incentive for people who always wanted to try paintball but fearful of the fast rate of fire found in a semi-auto game to give it a try. In effect a pump-gun game would be a great recruitment tool to attract new people to the sport.

4> No other paintball field in the Tri-State area has pump-gun only games. Well as far as I know.

If Riverside were to have pump-gun only games, and often, they would have no competition. They would be the ONLY pump-gun only paintball field in the Tri-State area. Something they could market on their web site as a selling point to play at the field.

Ive been wanting to get a pump only game of for some time now, I was hoping for early october, when the weather is *hopefully* still nice.

Then all I have to do is get out all those old trracer rentals and clean them up.

Spread the word though, the more people who want it, the faster I can get it happening.

I would be up for that. I think it would be really fun. I hope it can happen.

I don't have a pump, but it sure sounds like a fun day.

Does my autococker count as a pump, since it's based on the sniper body? ;p

Only if you turn your LPR and pull the backblock by hand... :)

Pump play would be great :mrgreen:

Gameplay would be more fun (to me, anyway) with stealth and maneuvering being more useful than BPS!

man, I could just sit here and daydream about it :hammer:

Azzy - you are the pump master. With my phantom, I am but a pump-padawan (sp?).

The PPS bug is calling me towards a houndstooth -- must...resist...the......aghhhhh
