Well, I just came back from a good 7 hours of paintballing. My
uncle (a really buff cop) rented out the whole field for the day, and
about 30 of us ranging from 8 to 50 years played. Although I'm in
a lot of pain I must say it was an incredible experience. I love
it becaue there is such an awesome adrenaline rush because there is the
threat of getting shot, it's so much better than laser tag.

So, if you hvaen't yet played paintball, I encourage you to try it out.

I've never tried it because there aren't a lot of areas to paintball
around here, but mostly because my friends aren't interested in that
kind of thing. It would be pretty fun.... the closest I've come
to it is airsoft when I was much younger.

Yeah, a lot of things should be. Like, if horseback riding is an
Olympic event, skateboarding, paintball, BMX, all kinds of stuff should
be as well.

I love paintball. The only problem with the sport is that it can be
really expensive to play. Me and my friends only play once every few
months because when we do we have to spend around $100 on Co2 refills,
and paint. We have never ever played a game where we didn't sit around
for an hour waiting for someone to fix their gun. Something always goes
wrong when we get to the field.

Paintball rules! I love shooting little children in the back which makes them fall and roll down the hill. My mate show one guy on the floor because he said 'surrender' and you are supposed to surrender but this stupid ass kid shot my friend in the face so he just went nuts and completely wiped him out with 30 bullets.

The kid got his lesson :razz: and stopped playing heh heh...

Paintballing is THE best sport ever when you are drunk.

No question about it, i ran out of paint within the first game of an eight game day but it was too much fun to care.

Awesome....

Sadly there aren't many paint-ball fields here and the few that exist
are beyond expensive to rent so I know this pleasure not. :sad:

It's really not that painful. As long as you're not playing
against guys with $1000 guns, it's fine. You're scared about
getting hit, but once you do, it only stings for a few seconds, and at
worse you'll get a bruise.

Just don't do anything stupid like the kid in Habboi's story.

Shooting little kids sounds pretty sadistic to me.

If you own your own guns you can make a "perimeter" in some local woods that people don't frequent and it'll be relativly cheap ... just as long as police don't show up. You'd just have to play shorter games, I'd think.

Paintballing isn't too much different from deathmatches. In fact,
it's more like Counter-Strike because one hit and you're out.

The only thing is that the paintball arena isn't so pretty like most
deathmatch or CS maps. It's usually pretty barren, like the
skeleton of houses and such.

One time I was playing, a group of boys pwnd the other team, and when
they reached the other team's starting point, they shot everyone in
there, even though they surrendered.

So, some of the people got pissed off and went back to their trucks and
pulled out some real handguns that are loaded. I risked my life
to broker a peace between the two groups. I was afraid that
someone might die if a real fire fight breaks out.

Fortunately, I was diplomatic enough to diffuse the tension.

Yeah, I've ended up playing with assholes a few times, it really ruins
the fun of it. I usually play with my brother and some friends in
a forest near my house (we all buoght guns). Or when I do play at
an arena, we rent it out and invite a horde of people. you just
can't trust strangers...

League play is always the way to go.. They cant be assholes if they are they are ejected from the league and the arena. Here that is a bad thing because all the arenas seem to talk and the next thing you know your blacklisted, and have to play out in the desert with yourself.

Paintballings great, i regularly go with mates for a laugh. Last time i
went it was at a place called delta force near where i live. We had a
great day, but our group finished early with paint left over so we went into a unused area
and had a deathmatch, you stay on untill you run out of paint or cant
take the pain anymore.

The only downside are the idiots you get sometimes. Who wipe the paint
of when shot or try to be the touch man by not surrendering and then
get annoyed for being shot point blank.
