However if that's your thing...go for it. That's just my personal opinion, so if you like it, keep doing it.

meh, id never do that kind of thing. im in it for the fun. and the coolness. oh god im turning into one of them!!!

fix'd.

i dont believe in spending several hundred bucks on a recreational activity. i mean, if someone were to go pro, and make a living off of it, I see nothing wrong with spending your extra cash on gun modifications instead of an xbox.

basically, you dont buy a suit of medieval armor to play DnD, you don't buy full padding, helmet, and uniforms playing backyard football, you dont buy paintball guns over $200 for non-pro paintball.

thats one of my mottos

Paintball is fun with friends. There, I've restated everything that's been said on the thread.

I haven't played too much of it. My greatest memories are of breaking the rules and getting away with it.

I disagree about playing with people with their own guns. It depends on what kind of guns they are, and what kind of people. Having your won gin saves a lot of money in the long run if you play a few times a year. They are also good for self defense, or shooting someone in the face with red paint so they think they are really shot...but thats another story

I keep my own gun, its a semi-auto from 1994 that is quite the antique. It looks almost like something from star wars, and its all metal and weights about 13 pounds. It's also compact. People usually laugh at me for bringing it, but i prefer it over the rifles.

What I hate are the people with the full autos. Thats just ain't cool to go to a public field and play against people with semis and you are walking around like jesse ventura in predator.

Go for a suicide run or two.
Getting shot multiple times all over the body works better then caffeine could ever hope to be.

We used to shoot at each other with nailguns, was great fun I have nailed many a butt so to speak that was the golden shot especially when some was already down had a few myself, also accidently shot a nail into someone´s eye but that´s a different story, turned out just fine. It was a bit crazy but good times

The small paintball field we go to has a final game called "Paint or Pain" as a way to use up the last of your ammo at the end of the day. You stay in the game until you either run out of paintballs or can't take getting nailed anymore and remove yourself from the game. A tip I learned in that game: don't hide behind a tree that is much thinner than you are...especially when finding yourself in a crossfire between 3-4 members of the other team. OUCH!

The first time I played Paintball we had a similar thing. You had 10 seconds to run as far and fast as you could within a roped-off area and then just turned on each other. I hid behind a tire barrier and that turned out to be a HUGE mistake as soon as I got outflanked. I got shot in the spine 3 times from about 5 feet away and couldn't lean back on a chair for the next few days without getting spasms.
