I have a Tippmann 98 custom with a Flatline barrel and a rudimentary 5x scope. (Not for sniping but more for reconnaissance) I don't care how much you guys hate woodsball snipers. I've held down a Tippmann A5 with automatic set E-Grip. I use a guilly suit, the whole bit. I think it brings the more hardcore aspect of it.

Yeah i've only played one scenario game but it seems that those things don't really help that much. there was one guy who looked like a tree but as soon as they move you can tell that they are there. It seems pointless to use so much camoflage when your movement gives you away. I know it looks hardcore and all but personally i felt well camoflaged in jeans and a dark grey t-shirt.

Well if your going to be a "sniper" movement should never really enter your mind, unless very slowly at most.

I’m with Daberno, guilly was design to work at hundreds of yards, not 10.

I wore camouflage pattern pants and a real-tree shirt last time I played and it was only after I lit up the other guy that he saw me, and I got within 10 yards of him.

I’ve done similar feats wearing blue jeans and a blue/white striped shirt.

I've found typical muted shades of brown, green, and black to be by far the best Paintball Camo. I personally hate my teams policy of mandatory ACU's.
ACU has to be the worst camo ever invented by mankind...save for urban pink.
And those who bring ghillie suits to scenario games are dumb,no punches pulled.Ghillie is worthless for running around in all day,not to mention most don't even take the time to adapt the ghillie to the terrain.An un-adapted ghillie suit is a as good as a bright orange flag.

ACU is an invention stemming from someones arrogance to accept a better type of camo. Why don't you switch to digis? Its a much better camo.

I had that pulled on me. I was running along this path and a guy in the bushes alongside the path loaded me up. I got some nice welts from that one. I never saw the guy. Even after he shot me. It was like he disappeared

Well, my friend was sitting still, he later told me he was planning to ambush me, I snuck right up at 12 ‘o clock and lit him up.
I was trying to aim and I saw him move, thought he had seen me so I put 10-20 rounds in his direction, kinda jumped the gun. :)

I do. I have a Spyder TL-R with a 14" rifled barrel. No mods, just the semi-auto marker and barrel.
