Hey Herc,
I have a few questions about special roles...
*Can the sniper still carry 3-140 round pods along with sniper paint, or is the sniper player limited to only 140 rounds of sniper paint and one marker?
*Do you have a link to recommended size for shield?
*Any decision on type of marker, bps limit, and look of heavy gunner?

Thanks

Matt,
The sniper can carry both. Just make sure his sniper gun is the only one shooting sniper paint which means his other gun needs to have the game event paint.

Your shield size is 2.5'feet by 4.0'feet

Markers all are welcome because many teams have sponsors and need to rep them.

Heavy Gunner the "Pinokio" is the TTPL official hopper, but use what you want.

hey herc in the past i have talked to you about using the launchers inside the swat house, and you have said that you cannot bring the launcher inside the swat house, only shoot it at the kill zone targets marked on the outside. it doesnt state in the rules that if you can or cannot bring it inside the house to eliminate the sheild being used.
also i dont know if its my computer or not but when i come on the ttpl website i keep getting some kind of virus alert. just letting u know. dunno where its coming from.
