not me btw, but it's easily done with a paintball marker

A paintball gun is not at all comparable to a real gun though. The resistance and play in the trigger is completely different and the near complete lack in kickback will also make a huge difference. There's also the fact that, to my knowledge, there's no real gun out there that allows the trigger to be pulled by alternating between two fingers, even if there is, i'm sure it breaks just about every rule in the operating manual.

There are electrically fired guns out there capable of high rof, however I can't find the youtube vid. Basically stacks of bullets are loaded with propellant between them, the electric current ignites the propellant, = bang. Non-mechanical triggers can be lighter and faster to pull.

EDIT found it

Tuesday, March 1

  • EA offsite event – This is the main GDC games event. EA will be showing Battlefield 3, Alice: Madness Returns, Shadows of the Damned, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, Crysis 2, Battlefield: Play4Free, Gatling Gears, The Fancy Pants Adventures and more. The main reveal will be Battlefield 3, coverage of which is embargoed until Wednesday, March 2 at 6.00am PST (that’s 9.00am EST, 2.00pm GMT and 3.00pm CET), with other editorial being released in a staggered fashion over the following week.
 
Claymores should be allowed, but you should be able to shoot and destroy them. Also as in BF2, you should be able to go past them whilst in the prone position and engineers should be able to deactivate them.

Hated claymores.

Go around a corner, BANG, dead.
Climb up ladder, BANG, dead.

It seemed to encourage retard snipers to camp on the top of buildings with claymores behind them guarding the entrances.

Maybe my hatred comes from the fact that I was hardly recon/sniper class in BF2 and only experienced the annoyance of them.

I'm glad that BFBC2 doesn't have them.

What that guy said, I hated them too! Looking forward to tomorrow with this and Crysis 2 demo/beta/whatever they call them nowadays!
 
Claymores were hilarious. Just be careful going round corners. If there's a sniper on a rooftop, lob a grenade up. I always chuck a grenade on a roof in BF2 before going up it anyway. Sometimes it detonated any claymores too iirc.
