AHH!!! Yesterday I went out to a season opening game, it was a decent turn out with around 30 players. 10 of the 30 players was running a PTW, and the others were either G&G Max series or saw weapons like a L85 or LG36. I was the only one running a BA(of it's off classified BTW). Lucky for me, those 10 PTW guys weren't that great, they were more of a camping type...

It was a extremely annoying/difficult game for me with all those PTWs and SAW in the game. Half the time I was pin at 200 feet! LIKE WHAT THE F***!! At 200 feet, I was able to get a body shot whereas for a PTW that was a easy head shot... I miss those days where most people were running stock/walmart special guns...

I'm starting to feel that I need a PTW to be able to compete with the club I play... The sad part is; I feel that the $1000 I spent on my BA was a waste...

Now, I know some of you are going to tell me that BA should be a sneaky play style... But when they out shoot/out range you, it's very discouraging to sneak around enemy line and just to get shot at...

Does anyone out there feel the same way?... That BA are starting to fall off the chart of a decent weapon of choose?... Word of advice?...
