Unless you have a $1000+ dollar paintball gun and are shooting the most expensive paint available there is no aiming a paintball. And even if you do have the above equipment, it's still a crap shoot.
Also, for each round that hit you there were probably 15 fired, if not more. That's not aiming.
The "break" is the key to a tourney style paintball game and the experienced kids shoot at a "lane" that they know players are likely to be running through. Once you learn how to play the break your game time will increase significantly.
Of course, NOTHING is more important than knowing the field. Once you have played a field a few times you learn which lanes are the best and which are the worst and how to time them.
Watching the other players on their setup before the game starts is also important. It's funny to watch the newbies across the field talk and point to where they are going to go on the break. Ignore the ones that are hitting close bunkers and light up the lanes to the long ones and watch 'em fall!

PS
Gravity feed is for newbies, my loader will feed 18 rounds per second and my gun will fire 1500 round per minute in full auto (no, I'm not kidding). Unfortunately when the gun outruns the loader there is a stoppage so I can't go full auto (I don't have an adjustable rate circuit board). That's OK b/c I can "walk" the trigger on semi-auto and still outrun the loader.
