Cheating in this context is SO incredibly unlikely. Rumors aside, the defenders inside were and are the cream of the crop of EMR hometeams and I reject the idea of mass cheating amongst the defenders based on reputation alone.
When you consider how many times you yourself was hit by paintballs that bounced, doesn't it make more sense to conclude that your paintball bounced off of that guy you "saw" cheating? I had one guy screaming at me from the tower about wiping after he bounced a few off of my mask.
He probably went back and told HIS friends about how the attackers were cheating.
Stories about guys who keep shooting despite a mask covered with paint are not credible to me, again, based solely on the reputation of the defending teams. Anytime I see someone cheat, I will walk up to where they are to investigate. Nearly everytime I have done such, I have found either that I was mistaken or that my opponent had been hit and was not aware.
If you do not do that everytime you actually believe that you have been cheated, you are just needless spreading rumors. Why would anyone bother to talk about cheating that they had not confirmed themselves? Does it make them feel better about not being a hero? Who knows.
As for speed of shots and rumors of 500fps and holes in clothing, consider the fact that they air line made a lot of defenders switch to their CO2 driven backup guns.
Anyone who has ever shot a CO2 powered Tippy down hill will know where that speed might have come from. Not necessarily cheating, but possibly cluelessness about physics and the properties of CO2.
There were no newbs inside the Castle.
