Great for Paintball Sniping, May 11, 2004
This review is from: Team of One, The Paintball Sniper (DVD)
If you are into paintball sniping, this is a must-have DVD (five-star). If you are into woodsball, you should be aware of this (four-star). If you are into speedball, you may not find much of use, but it is instructive (two-star). The quality level is professional. Clear video, excellent sound and music, good editing, good acting. You get to see how "camo" can really work (I get tired of people all decked out in standard camo and they stick out as much as my speedball jersey and pants). The focus is on the skills, not on the outfit, but you can understand a lot between the lines. The focus on strategy and knowing the field is good (and applies to speedball as well!). One thing that I got tired of was the number of times "okay" was said. Another peeve was how often a reference was made to those with $1200 and $1500 markers. Apparently someone has a chip on the shoulder. A somewhat valid point, but come on, especially when playing with a $600 marker yourself instead of what most people use in the under-$150 range. Slight peeves, but the content made up for them. The bloopers at the end were funny. A very instructional hour or less. Recommended for paintball enthusiasts (like me).

GARBAGE....pure garbage, December 24, 2007
This review is from: Team of One, The Paintball Sniper (DVD)
This is the biggest waste of plastic I've ever heard of. At just over 6 years in the military (paratrooper and Cav Scout), and been playing paintball on and off for about 12 years, I can say this is STUPID. 15 years of being a "paintball sniper" is the same as "being in the top 100 for 3 weeks straight on World of Warcraft"......NO ONE CARES!!! First off, alot of fields don't allow ghillie suits because they cause too many bounces. Second, I agree with the Marine, they're VERY hot to move in, and most paintball players have little to no patience, so they just look like a big, moving bush. You'll look like either a retard in front of other people, or worse, people WON'T play you because you'll look all hardcore. Second, paintballs don't fly like real bullets. They arc, so "aiming" is extremely difficult, unless running a Tipmann "Flatline" barrel. Third, as for moving quiet, try this kids...go to the woods and stand still, and have a friend walk toward you at normal speed...you'll be amazed how close they get before they hear you. So creeping all day long is a waste of time, and you just look stupid getting shot by the guy who's been watching you "creep" for the past 10 minutes. Last, paintball is about FUN, not "survival". Get out there and PLAY!!! I see fun as running from point A to B, dodging paint fly, unloading paint, rushing some poor helpless sap with several of my buddies, and yes, even getting hit can be fun (goggle hits are great!). Fun ISN'T parking your butt in one spot for 20 minutes hoping someone walks by, or "camping" on a flag. This isn't fun. So don't buy this DVD, PLEASE!!! For experience, get away from the TV, grab your gear, and go and actually PLAY, learning from experience, mistakes, or tips from other players. Paintball is a TEAM sport, not individual, so quit tying to be like Vassili Zeitsev (a famous Russian sniper) and PLAY

Interesting only, January 29, 2007
This review is from: Team of One, The Paintball Sniper (DVD)
This was way over the top on paintball sniping. I give it a 3 for the attempt but other than seeing a minute or so of action shots it is not at all educational
