Four Tips for Controlling the Snake Bunker in Paintball

The snake bunker is an obstacle on the paintball field that guards a player against an enemy's line of fire. Specifically, the snake bunker is long and low, generally in the middle of the paintball field. These four tips will be helpful in your paintball experience and allow you to control this area of the field.

The first tip on how to control the snake bunker when playing paintball is to understand that it is a low and long structure on the field. This can be used to an advantage by staying low to the ground and keeping your body lower than the snake bunker itself. Because the bunker is also long, the paintball player can use this to cover large distances over a long stretch of the field. Therefore, staying low and covering long stretches of the field is the first tip on how to control the snake bunker in paintball.

The second tip on how to control the snake bunker is to take advantage of the position of the bunker in the field. The snake bunker is generally placed at midfield and therefore this is the best position to attack the opposing team while staying under cover. This will give you time to control the snake bunker and also defend you from oncoming fire.

The third tip on how to control the snake bunker is to make sure that your paintball gun is loaded properly. Another important issue is to be prepared with ammunition and to have enough gear on your person. Being prepared in the middle of a paintball battle, especially behind a snake bunker generally placed at midfield can be vital in controlling your enemy's attack as well as your position.

The fourth and final tip on how to control the snake bunker in paintball is to use the proper technique when in a paintball match. The paintball player must make sure that the body is not overly exposed, leaving him/her vulnerable for enemy fire and therefore losing control of the bunker. By keeping the body behind the bunker, a paintball player can take full advantage of the purpose of the snake bunker, as well as have a greater opportunity to occasionally pop out from behind and strike an enemy opponent. By performing all of these tips, and with a little practice, one can definitely become a better paintball player, defeat their enemy opponents, and also control the snake bunker in paintball, which is vital to victory.
