ITS F***ING AWESOME!...

Went for the eight time yesterday with 20 or so mates, its a great way to get your adrenaline levels soaring. My team lost but I did some spectacular shots (including a nutshot on my friend) and some military sliding dives throughthe mud which werent the smartest thing to do but were great fun.

My dad also happened to call me in the middle of a match and somehow my phone got answered and turned to loudspeaker which was pretty funny telling my dad I was in the process of shooting people so i wouldnt be home for lunch.

Share your funny or painful experiences. :)

Hmmm, the only time I've fired with a paintball was at my friend's house after he filled an empty bottle with his own piss... And guess what? We had to shoot it from a distance! I didn't manage to hit it because I thought the gun was too damn heavy at the time (I was 14 I think)!

I'd like to try it with my new college residence friends though, they've been telling me stories of very good people shooting people on the back through tiny bunker holes and stuff (and various ''freeze'' techniques)!

I used to play competitively... Played once in the world championships in Orlando (we got our asses kicked).

Fun sport, I still have all my gear and play a half a dozen times a year for old times sake, but nothing serious anymore. Cost to much (I was dropping 10k a year on it).

I dont really have any experience with paintballs, but i would love 2 try it out!!!

Thats pretty cool, in championships how does it work? is it last one standing or what? and do you wear any special pads or something like the marshals do?

All I have to show you for my last run in Paintball is this picture:

By the way it wasn't all hurt. I was particulary proud of me being able to constantly shoot one of my marine friends. One time, I actually managed to kill him, then tap out his buddy who's a lieutenant for the marines. He was truelly pissed that I got close to him :d.

I love paintballing, havent gone recently though

They have 5 man, 7 man, and 10 man teams. Each player has a set position (front, middle, back). The back guy is kind of like the general. He directs where everyone else moves. When he says go, you go. I was a front guy. The goal is to pull the flag in the middle of the field, and hang in on your opponents starting position. Usually, you just shoot everyone on the other team out, and then hang the fag.

Here is a video of the kind of action that takes place.

Yeah Paintballing is awesome. Them Weekend Camps where you Camp out in Woods while Paintballing for 2 days sounds cool.

Airsoft is better :D
