I used to go paintballing in the early 2000's, it was pretty fun.

I don't think it's worth the money though, and I don't see the enjoyment in shooting each other in the woods for the hell of it (I'd rather do it in a professional place, where there's real obstacles such as buses and houses).

Love this "sport", only been once but Iloved it. It's not too good on a wet day as it can be really muddy which isnt any good. Like for example there was an objective, nobody was covering a certain area to defend it, so I went over that way, though I was being really smart at the time

, only to find myself being stuck in the mud...

So there I was in the mud, I though no one had spotted me, only then was my arm pelted by a paintball! it hurt. alot. I put my arms up, as you do when your hit, then a few seconds later a group of paintballs where flying my direction

Which usually isn't allowed after the arms ave gone up...
They kept hitting me

like several times around the body...I walked away in agony, it stung.

I then found out later that day it was actually my friends I was playing with. They both found it amusing that I was dancing around in pain out in this muddy field.

I wasnt laughing at the time, but looking back, it was rather.

I think there are two types of paintball (the ones that hurt anyway

)
You got the more traditional type, with just the ordinary painball gun, weird looking think that holds sprout sized painballs)
Like this

Then you got the Realistic paintball, which I think is just called "Airsoft" where modern day weapons are converted into (usually airsoft) replica's. These shoot out pea sized paintballs, and I would think they hurt more, although in this type you get to wear armour if you wish.
Like this

I would like to play the 2nd type someday as im into that sort of stuff, wouldnt mind tossing a few smoke grenades, take out a few guys and then cap an objective in a building somehwere once in a while

although I think this would be more expensive to run, especailly the ones that take place in urban areas. :/

MiguelSantos12 · 16-07-2008, 11:50 AM

Its awesome! But when you're taking cover.. Dont leave your knee in view of the opposition.. Got shot on the side of the knee 3 times in quick succession.. OUCH!

EAUK_Adroit · 16-07-2008, 02:59 PM

Really enjoy paintballing, last time I went was a few years ago now though, where I managed to survive the entire half day without getting shot!

suggs · 16-07-2008, 03:02 PM

yarnbury11 · 16-07-2008, 03:41 PM

suggs · 16-07-2008, 03:42 PM

yarnbury11 · 16-07-2008, 03:43 PM

I just happened to find some really good spots, and made my moves at the right time. Right at the I did end up having about 5 players shoot at me from close range after I had crossed the "line" to win us the game though (they somehow didn't manage to shoot me when I ran 20metres completely open, and between two lines of their players).

Always wanted to have a war with some friends but don't have the guns or anything.

dont they have centre's were you live?

limabifrost · 18-07-2008, 03:04 PM

My friend works at a paintball place and I still haven't had the chance to go and check it out. However they had to call the police a week or so ago because one team went rioting and attacking people at point blank range, including employees which is a complete no-no as I'm sure you can guess. Not sure i'd like to work there!

And we have the largest Quasar in Europe in the next town (apparently), it's great fun but overrrun with sweaty 13 year old male chavs (or word of your choice, seeing as chav is un-PC).

Rixlo · 23-07-2008, 02:05 PM

suggs · 23-07-2008, 02:10 PM
