You sir, just proved my point.
Paintball and Airsoft are really that different.
You're talking about a snapshoot contest. Usually 1 on 1, both of you in bunkers. Several small bursts to try to establish dominance and the post-up position. You should happened to be shooting at somebody, that quite obviously, sucked. A good player will make this a very hard fought contest. The winner usually maintains dominance as best they can be filling the air with bb's aimed at the pop-out spot.
Hate to break it to you, but it happens the exact same way in paintball & airsoft. It's games of shooting either 6mm plastic or .68cal gel capsules at each other, trying to obtain superior angles. Angles lead to negating the effect of their cover, getting them shot out. Once they're shot out, manuver for another superior position and keep going until their team is wiped out. These are not real guns. There is no kick on higher end models, and no loss of accuracy, even with 20+, 30+, or 50+ bps modes. The only difference is you can make the line of paint or bb's much, much thicker. When you do that, you close that window where they can try to snapshoot you.
Now, since you brought up your story as a glorious testament to the effectiveness of rifleman... here's some questions for ya...
Why was your gun not shouldered?
Why did you have to take your eyes off the target, to spend time getting ready to take a shot, at where you hoped the target was at?
What if the target had *gasp* moved?
What if the target did not suck, and had 15 bps enroute to your pop-out spot?
Sounds like you were both caught with your pants down, and only his enormous lack of skill prevented a quick 1 for 1 or extended shootout.
All your story did was tell me there's people that suck in airsoft & paintball.
