Homemade ghillie suit

Don't wanna talk about ghillie suits.... okay.  I'll just PM him with some info. 

I declare:

woah guys relax no need for insults. Obviously the preaching part was sarcasm, it was the "he deserved it" that i found offensive. Either way it was a mis-understanding on my part. I agree with you guys on the non-sniper debate, i just fail to understand why people get sooo angry at those who even mention the word sniper.

Yikes... I think the subject was...? Oh yes, a ghillie suit. Link: http://www.ehow.com/how_2075094_make-ghillie-suit.html

Seems pretty straightforward to me.  I might have to give this a shot when summer rolls around and I've got nothing better to do.

Really. That is about as obvious as you can get.

Dont get me wrong, I'm not saying they exist, but its a game ppl. I've been to a game where this one guy ran around in a pink bodysuit on a dare lol, we were all quite amused but didn't rag on him for not being cool or whatever. If u wanna wear ghillie, wear ghillie, just know its pretty impractical. And i guess thats where my problem with this whole thing is. Saying someone deserves 3rd degree burns cause he was wearing a ghillie? To me thats stupid. If a kid wants to think he's a super sharp shooter... who cares. Its just a game Who said that someone wearing a ghillie deserved thrid degree burns?   On the first page, a link was posted about a guys ghillie going up in flame. You replied by saying he deserved it. I can't believe you actually took that seriously.

Someone needs a new one of these.

Haha, Snake, I know exactly what you mean.  I'll sign off from one forum and go to another and it's like the exact same person has made another thread asking or debating about snipers.  By all means engage in these threads and voice your opinions.  I know I do it because I agree with the stance.  I'm just saying keep it out of threads not related to the role of a paintball sniper.  My $.02 anyway.

Yes, those skills can confer an advantage on the paintball field, but they by no means lend any credence to the concept of a paintball 'sniper'.

That's my point exactly... you can use [some] real world sniper tactics on the paintball field to give you an advantage..would you care to relate what is false about that statement? I agree there's no such thing as a sniper, but there's such a thing as utilizing and adopting appropriate sniper tactics for the paintball field and that's all I was trying to say. 

People around here jump at any chance they get to shoot down the aspect of paintball 'sniping'. Even if you say "here's a pic of my sniper" the thread is instantly turned into a spam-fest of why it doesn't exist.  I say leave it alone.  By all means address the issue in moderation if the tactic or position is deliberatly addressed/questioned, but don't spam the fact that it doesn't exist in threads like this or pictures of markers that look like snipers.  If someone want's to say 'I play sniper in paintball' let them.  It doesn't hurt you, leave it alone...
