text: what is the point of speed ball? all it is is shooting 20 bps and dumping gallons of paint.? when paint ball came out all there were was pump action. when the semi auto came out they thoght it would ruin the sport. not it is the best part of our great sport. i admire the stock players. i guess because its become so marketable. i have seen it on sports show just a couple of weekends ago. i remember at the end of some paint-balling days, (to get a couple of more games in) we would shorten the field and just go straight at each other and it was good fun. the guns were old pumps and a couple of the new semis.
