If you love to shoot endless streams of paintballs and just go all out on the field; a heavy rifleman is the team position for you.

Your job is to hang back and lay paint - lots of paint to protect and clear the way for your teammates that are advancing forward towards your opponent's flag. You will need to carry a lot of paintballs for this position. Your gear kit will be heavy from the amount of paint you'll be packing along but you'll use most of it if you play your position as you should.

You won't be doing a lot of running as a heavy rifleman. Paintball guns on tripods are great for this position. You don't have to be stealth like an ambush or ghost sniper would be as you are almost constantly firing so everyone knows where you are. You are counting on your snipers to keep you from getting marked and put out of the game.

As the light riflemen advance, continue covering them and spray as much fire around as you can. For many games such as this, players will duct tape an "x" on the back and front of their vests and only shots on the "x" will count to eliminate a player. This will make your paintball games last a lot longer as leg shots won't count - only within the "x".

Since you don't have to be stealth like a sniper, your communications equipment can be either a throat mic or an audio system that includes an ear wire - decide among your team what you're going to use.

Use these tips to get more marks in your position as a heavy rifleman and have a blast playing your next game of paintball.
