A couple of more questions about the field gun.
1. Can the gun be destroyed/forced to re spawn by a rocket, or do you kill the crew?
2. If you kill the crew do you gain control of the gun for your side?
3. Assume it can kill a tank, but an airplane.
4. Does the increased damage for the gun include a larger blast radius for the shells, if used against   massed infantry in the open?
 

1:  You can only kill the crew.  The weapon can not be destroyed.
2:  If you can access the gun, you can use it.
3:  Can not take down an airplane.
4:  Standard blast radius against infantry just to keep things simple.

I fear that on the beach invasion some fool is going to run out the boats with his gun not on safety and blast a bunch of teammates in the back of the head.
 
yes I expect something rediculous like that will happen jsut knowing how many people are going to be trigger happy. exspecially if you have to sit in the landing craft for a long time people will get tense and wnat to shoot and start making the mistake of putting their finger on the trigger and we know where it goes from their.

Any recommendations from the regulars on which field paint is best for a Tippmann X7?  I saw three options in the pre-reg: tournament, polar ice and basic.  Sometimes tournament grade is too fragile, and sometimes the cheap stuff is too!  I can't stand buying a case of paint that constantly breaks in the barrel...

Also, is there overnight accomodations nearby?  Camping is preferred...
 
Thanks,

I'm hoping to just buy Basic, I figure my G3 can handle it, it's pretty nice to paint.

I shoot a x7 with basic last time and I only broke a like 2. in my opinion it is better than polar ice but thats preference I guess. I never shoot tournament to know yet but the rest of the people I play with were happy with it that shoot it.

my x7 shoots fine with basic or any paint. i use a stock barrel so it might be different if you use a kit. and i usualy only break balls in the cyclone during the winter.

It was cold, and I think the paint was from the summer, so that may have had something to do with it.  The balls were breaking in both the cyclone and the barrel.  Only about 50% of the shots would clear the barrel, and those of course would never find their mark, since the cyclone was coated in paint... frustrating day.  I'll try the basic, thanks for the info.

That probably had everything to do with it.  Buy the basic and you will be happy.

Both the x7 and a5 rarely break paint if they have a few upgrades. squishy paddels would be the number one thing for me. most breaks in either gun occur becaue of the paint quality being bad or the weather uasually.  At battle of moscow I dont think anyone didnt break paint but that was obvioulsy becasue the weather being snowyand nasty out still and the piant sitting at that temp. but yes both both a5 and x7 are gerat guns wiht a few upgrades.

two different worlds of guns.... you can use the a5 to dig a fox hole and hammer nails and it still shoots but the g3 is much more gas friendly and alot lighter both are good guns though.... i have used alot of guns at battlefront but i always end up using one of my a5s as far as the paint the basic is pretty good now ....i have blown through about 10 cases without a break in any of my guns
