    Default Anyone here play Paintball?

    Played with my friends yesterday. Was a lot of fun, thinking of picking it up as a hobby.

    I got shot on the right thumb, looks like a dirt mark but its a huge black and blue. hah.

    Used to play semi-professionally ten years ago. Travelled much of Europe playing.

    Not so much fun anymore though; semi- and full-auto guns have really ruined the game, turning every game into a "He Who Brings The Most Paint On The Field Wins" scenario.

    Two cents.
    Idealism is fine, but as it approaches reality, the costs become prohibitive.

    I've played before. We played in the canyon. It was alot of fun trying to be sneaky and stealthy hiding behind huge boulders and scrubby bushes. Total rush.

    The rush is pretty sweet, I used to play with a bunch of friends out in the woods. I don't really get the guys that have neon markers and purple & yellow cammies that seem to be big in the sport, but to each their own.

    I play about twice a month. Sometimes I wonder if I spend more money on paintball or getting lap dances.

    I used to play. Our rules were no semi/auto weapons. Other than that...each man to his own devices. It was great fun!! *day-dreaming* I remember the one time, my ex was being an asshole...so as I broke up with him, I shot him (at close range) in the thigh. It made his muscle spasm and he went down crying like a baby. Bastard. *reality* Heh, heh, heh...yeah...it was fun.

    I use to play nearly every weekend in high school.... those were the times


    My friend had about 10 acres of wooded property where we built forts, barriers, and anything else you could imagine building with plywood over a 4 year period. Each weekend, about 20 of my friends would get together and split into two teams - for the most part, the goal was to "kill" all members of the other team. Each person had a different gun; automag, minimag, tipman, spider, etc. etc. Also, each person would be assigned a different role depending on the gun - front lines, sniper, sacrificial lamb to draw fire... Some battles would last over an hour. We spent about 20 minutes before each game planning startegy and assigning roles. Also, my friend's mom would make us a huuuuge lunch with chips, cookies, sandwichs, pop, hot dogs, hamburgers.. *sigh*, how I miss those days.

    In this format, we could play for 4 hours staight, and only go through 300-500 paint balls... I can't stand indoor paintball, where you would use the same amount in 5-10 minutes


    -> also, during one of our "battles", one of my friends got shot in the head from 10 feet away .... he now has a 2" permanent bald spot on the side of his head.
