The answer is simple, because some people are too dumb to question the price tag and will pay outrageous amounts of money for a gun. A high price tag doesn't mean a thing. I could buy a stingray II and try to sell it for $1000, that doesn't make it a good gun at all. My friend bought a dragon timmy for about $1400 and he has so many problems with that thing. My $400 98 is more reliable than his timmy and the only advantage he has is ROF which I couldn't care less about. I can hit like 10 bps and that's plenty for me, I rarely even need to shoot that fast, let alone faster. People love to buy things just because they're expensive and assume that they're paying for what they get, which tends to be wrong in most cases, and these companies love it because they're making tons of cash off of the ignorance of their customers. A lot of guns being sold at high price tags should really go for hundreds cheaper but they keep their high price because people will pay it. |

i think its what that dude said ^^^ 75% skill 24% luck 1% gun because say two guys are in a war and one has a eradicator (sucky) and the other had an angel (good) and the one with the eradicator has skill and the one with angel has no skill then the one with the eradicator is hopping around shooting the one with the angel and the one with the angel is firing rounds after rounds off and is hitting nothing but thin air thats when my logic comes into play (well whoevers logic it is) |

The main use of having an awesome gun is the intimidation factor.
Its a combination: Skill: 65% Gun: 30% Luck: 5% This is true if all the players have reasonably similar guns. (Within $1000) |

Ok here my take on this. The gun can help the player alot
depending on the type of person. Take me for example or anyone
who has a low self esteem, they will know what to do and how to do but
dont apply themselves because with there gun its almost as you just
dont want to try because you think you suck. I played one day and
did alright next day I got my angel did very well. I was applying
myself and playing bunkers correctly. Either i got really good
over night or my new gun gave me more confidence. It may sound
really dumb but is true for me and others I know. A couple weeks
ago I played and was doing good then my angel stopped working and had
to use a rental and I wasnt doing things right I was scared to make
moves....... Think it about it and it makes sense for some people

it's all about skill.
YOUR WRONG, IM RIGHT! i think it is all about skill, i could send one of my friends out into a paintball game and they will have a angel, or a dm5, and they would loose, because they dont know any good tacticts. It takes time to build up experience and be able to conquer the competition. Some people think by buying a high end gun, they buy the years of experience, i know that i can beat a spyder anyday, a a-5 anyday, and a spyder electro anyday, becuase i spend more time on skills, and i know that buying the gun does not make you that good. I have a tippmann, and it may not shoot fast, but i can still kick a dm5 or a angels ass if i really tried. |

It's both. Sometimes the gun and sometimes the person. Look at Tippmann Effect. They have Tippmanns and have gone against really good teams and have beaten them. That's skill. Now I hate Dynasty so I am going to have to say the guns for them. Yeah I geuss it is the gun more so than the skill.
