totally agree.
but one correction.
it doesnt matter how many people are on the other team.
me and my team usually make a move when we are up 2 g's.
sometimes even one if we need it

how much i can agree on you when you said quote:
"Trust me, this is the greatest feeling in paintball when u bunker someone. I feel like an all star when I do it! Haha have fun everyone keep trying and playing."
its the best experience yet! especially when the other guy says 'what the?' just when you splater 20 balls in his face rofl

YES! by: huskybrian
Yes, I LOVE this move!
I know what you mean about feeling like an all-star when you execute this perfectly! When I discuss maneuvers with people, they always talk about strong sides and pinching, but those aren't moves, they're general strategies. Now THIS is a move!
I differ from you on one item, however: I prefer to execute this move when the team is HIGH in numbers, instead of low numbers. I understand where you're coming from: it's a rather risky move, and it's a nice way to clean up. However, I feel like Master Chief when I run straight behind enemy lines and bunker a n00b!
This is how you can get away with it:
I always work together with one other man. We coordinate our fire to cover each other. This is pretty standard. Usually we'll caterpillar up the field until we reach resistance. When this happens, he'll stay put and initiate what we call a "contact point." We center our strategy around the contact point.
He'll hit the dirt and lay down some paint while I run directly away from the enemy. This is the worse thing for them to see, b/c I'm almost immediately out of sight. Next, I run to the side and set up a flanking maneuver. I'm still far enough that they can't see me.
When I'm ready to bunker those n00bs, I'll radio to my buddy to draw fire. This means I want the enemy to shoot at him, not me. So he'll usually stand up and move/shoot a little. I'll immediately charge the enemy from the side, and slightly behind. Since they're getting fire from 2 points, all they can do is bunker down. Mean while, my buddy gives me suppressive fire, shooting anyone who shoots at me.
This is like your bunkering move, but it uses support from a second man to get away with charging on multiple enemies. They usually don't even see me until I've taken at least one guy out. So even if I'm eliminated during the move, I still have a decent kill ratio, and either way, I'm all the talk after the game!
The most important element when bunkering a n00b, in my opinion, is constant movement. It's hard to kill a guy who''s running, especially if you have a semi-auto. from the time I initiate the move to the time I hit the dirt, I NEVER stop running. This is a quite workout, and requires some good anti-fog, but it's worth it!
Thanks for reading, and good luck!
