That works.

Another tactic that works is to send all the chav rentals in first to get vittel'd so then you have where all the enemy is and you can go the other way and complete the objective with little or no resistance. :p

I still think that the number 1 tactic to help you stay alive longer is to never have your RIF on display in public.

To be honest if I'm doing cqb and I find someone sucking his behind, I'd probably just leave him to it...

HAHAHA!!!

It's not really paintball, but a tactic that's hugely improved my indoor gameplay is a little theory on corner shooting.

Once you've got your head round the corner, and he's sucked his behind, wait for him. So many times you see someone duck back round again and lose the advantage! Also, if a tactic or route didn't work once, or twice, don't go for it a 3rd time!

Also, the good old one: slow is smooth, smooth is fast!

Already mentioned further up with the corner bud.
It is a massively overlooked thing, so many people do that head bobbing dance on corners.
Essentially whilst your head is out and you are shooting the other corner YOU have that corner, as soon as your head goes back in, you lose eyes on that section and you lose that corner, you have lost the advantage and the initiative. CQB/CQC is all about speed, aggression and dictation (violence of action as well), dictate the pace, force the enemy to make mistakes or roll back. Dont go stagnant, as soon as you do you lose the pace and advantage.

Goddamit Nun-chuck, that actually made me nearly spit my coffee out.

Now that is a good idea.

I've done the spare mag on a carabiner, give it a firm tug (ooh matron) and bobs aunty fannys your uncle.

Not necessarily from Paintball, but if you have magpulls or similar, attach bujee cord to it, and then clip or tie to webbing. That way you can drop your mag without it hitting the floor during speedy reloads

Lmao. Its not so much the flinging of the mags out at mach 4 type speeds that I was on about, its more the little things like bringing the rifle up into my sight (work space in magpul speak) so I'm reloading and still able to observe what going on aswell and such gems.

Re: Simple tactics transferable from paintball to help you stay alive longer!

I regularly watch Magpul Dynamic's Art of the Tactical Carbine and practice the included drills. The speed and tactical reloads have helped me really up certain parts of my game. I'd honestly advise everyone that wants to improve their skills to give it a watch.

The downside to speed reloads when using a GBBR is that AEG Pmags are designed to take a battering so you can just drop them, but if you just drop a £40 GBBR mag you are asking for trouble!

I have no problems doing it with my cheap AEG mags though! :D

Some good tips in there, ill be giving them a go next time in out! Thanks
