Articles containing information regarding Glossary L
- Lateral Move
A lateral move is a sideways transition between bunkers or angles used to access new firing lanes, reposition defensively, or escape incoming pressure without advancing forward.
- Lean Peek
A lean peek is a micro exposure technique where the player tilts their upper body just enough to gain visual information while keeping the smallest possible profile behind a bunker.
- Leapfrogging
Leapfrogging is a coordinated movement tactic where two or more players advance by alternating between movement and covering fire, allowing safe progression through contested zones.
- Left Side Call
A left side call is a verbal communication signal used to alert teammates of threats, movements, or active guns on the left corridor or tape of the field.
- Line of Sight
Line of sight refers to the direct, unobstructed visual or firing path between a player and a target, determining which angles are available for shooting, wrapping, or holding lanes.
- Load Management
Load management refers to the deliberate balancing of paint usage, pod consumption, and shooting tempo to maintain firepower throughout a point without depleting ammunition prematurely.
- Loader
A loader is the device mounted on the marker that stores and feeds paintballs into the feedneck, ranging from gravity fed hoppers to high performance electronic force feed systems.
- Lob Shot
A lob shot is an intentional high arc shot used to place paint over bunker tops or into hidden angles where direct lines of fire are obstructed.
- Lockdown (Total Zone Control)
Lockdown describes a state in which lanes and angles are arranged so tightly that opponent movement options are extremely limited and any attempt to move carries a high risk of immediate elimination.
- Long Ball
A long ball is a paintball shot fired at extended range, often using arcing trajectories and controlled bursts to reach opponents outside of standard engagement distances.
- Look-Then-Shoot
Look then shoot is a disciplined sequencing technique where a player gathers visual information before presenting their marker to fire, reducing predictable exposure and increasing survivability.
- Low Crawl
A low crawl is a stealth oriented forward or lateral movement where a player stays nearly flat to the ground to avoid detection and minimize exposure to active lanes.
- Low Profile Stance
A low profile stancerefers to the body positioning and movement techniques that minimize a player’s visible surface area, reducing the chance of being hit while engaging, moving, or holding a bunker.
