tell me he's not a bit bias toward Speedball markers....

"No one plays in the rain???" Tell that to the sniveling, premadona speedballers, because all the woodsballers will be out on the field playing.

"The HUGE Hopper on the A-5 makes it NOT usable on a speedball course and therefore on a single purpose marker... woodsball only???"
no one really uses the A-5 hopper ... it's all X7 hoppers now. And how can you make that statement and a side by side comparison while the A5 has a Stock hopper on and the speedball marker doesn't have a hopper on it for comparison?

Is this guy full of it or is it just me?

well from my only experience of paint ball so far with my A-5 being that other sunday. I played against guys who had markers like his beloved marker. When we picked teams ( pull a paint ball from a hat) it ended up i was on a team with the guys using A-5's or 98's where the other team had those other markers. Now i know a lot of factors go into play here but not once did anyone on my team have any problems with balls not loading, jamming or breaking balls in their barrels. The other side well at least 1 a game had to call themselves out due to a problem they had. next this guy said the guy using the other marker will be able to move better and will always win. Well taking out 3 out of 4 in one game and only peaking around a tree i would have to say wrong buddy. The marker doesn't make you a better paint baller the player makes the marker good. If you can't shoot or even take care of your stuff then doesn't matter how much you spend or who "leet" your marker is. Now as for the speedball side i have no idea never played. But i guess to each their own and this was just his opinion.

The thing that amazed me the most was the fact that he said that the only reason to own a tippmann was for the flatline barrel.

What?

you should watch his tippmann video. He says the only reason to own a tippmann is for the flatline barrel about 50 times.

Yeah, everything I have seen from this guy has reinforced me to not listen to a word he says. I don't think he understands that there is a certain ­style­ of play, some people prefer certain markers, and want them to look a certain way. I will be honest, my current set up is a bit too heavy. The ­meta­l shroud on my X7 pushed it a bit beyond what I want as far as weight, but that has nothing to do with the marker itself, just one accessory I put on it. Before that I never had any issue keeping my rifle at the ready the entire game.
