I always find it odd that discussions about stock class paintball always start with something about the style of play and then devolve into a long list of allowed and not allowed equipment.

If instead of:
Quote:
-A style of play in which players compete using fundamental skills, such as movement, team tactics, and purposeful aiming, rather than rate of fire to win the match.
We say:

A limitation on equipment used in play which:
-restricts the potential rate of fire
-restricts the amount of paint carried on gun
-restricts the amount of air carried on gun

I think we would be more honest.

The basic 'style' description you use neglects the fact that ANY good player is going to be using fundamental skills (Movement-Angles-Teamwork) regardless his or her technology.
