mugging

[shifty]

everybody likes mugging people, but what kind of mug???
do most people prefer running past and painting them then moving on or moving to thier barracade, wait for thier gun to come out one side then shoot them in the back and lean back round?????????

It's situational really. Run-by shootings are easier and less risky, as with bunker wraparounds you have only a 50/50 chance at best. Murphy's Laws of Paintball apply here: If the opponent is in range, so are you! The other guy has to either not be paying attention, deaf, or panicked not to get you coming in or shoot you in the ass a split second before you try to do the same to him. Ultra low pressure Cockers or Shockers are great for doing warparounds because you can be shooting over the opponent's one side at someone else and he won't always be aware of what's going on as opposed to a louder marker that would give you away.

It all depends on the situation. I usually do run by muggings if I am going on a run and have another person/s to mug after the first. Wrap arounds depend upon the bunker, sometimes if a player is in a vital bunker on a field (usually a teabag on the 50 line) a wrap around would be prefered, cos your team then controls that vital bunker.

With all of the concept fields now, and the tall bunkers, it is easy to think about the "drive-by" or the around the side, but don't forget about over the top. When things get heated up, running and side-shooting someone is not the easiest thing to do. Sometimes you can catch yourself shooting with the wrong hand. This is really a situational question. The player must read the field and the situation before determining how to bunker a player.

Run by baby all the time!!! Since some of the less fair people shoot back when you already sucessfully bunkered them just run by. That way he has to turn if he wants to shoot you and the refs will notice for sure. That way you can book an 1-on-1 on their expense...

Why is it called 'mugging'? Who came up with the term?

The best muggings are when u sneak up on ppl wait till they're hidden behind they're barricade pop up and light them up like christmas trees.

Go for skin baby,
Also you need to walk the fields well to know the best type of move possible.
If u just run by and shoot someone (from a front players perspective) u need to know what your next move is immediately after that, otherwise your just gonna get light by the back guys and your not gonna be able to put pressure on them.
You need to think this stuff through when your walking the fields otherwise u can easily turn what may look like a good move into a crap one, plus theres that need to know when to make the move that seperates the good front guys from the bad ones.
Practise is everything, have fun.

bunker dem midgets

My favourite is when you're on the 50 an' you got a couple of your guys in front pinning a guy in from either side them BAAAAMM!! you run all the way, hoping your own guys can read what it is you're trying to do, then as you get to their bunker you slow right down (still movin though) then speed back up and past 'em once you've struck. Awesome!!

But you're right dude, you need to know you're next move first. Practice kids.
