Paintball!

[Jobi101]

Went to my first paintball match today. It was TOTALLY AWESOME! Anyone that hasn't gone i seriously recommend doing so. Had 8 players. Had it out in like a padock with tire stacks and on a hill with trees and rocks. Best day ever! Anyone else played b4?

 

[Matthijs]

Never done it before. Definitely want to do it sometime

I've played Airsoft. You need protective covering though. Not just jackets. Combat gear.

I found this out the hard way, got shot in the face twice. Once in the forehead, once on the neck.


My first time, I played in a really cool fort. Weapons:
Mine:
> P990 (I think) UK ARMS Pistol

Everyone Else (we traded off for fairness):
> Semi-auto AK-47 with broken off barrel
> Shotty without the speed-loader included
> SMG with no juice
> Small pistol (kindof like a Sig Sauer)

Ive played paintball like 4 times....20odd' players a side. It rocks!

Ive played woodsball and speedball. My favorite was woodsball because it doesnt waste as much paint and the teams can be larger w/ out getting out of hand

 

[Newspartancreator]

I play every weekend... Help get out the aggressions, and need to kill stupid people...lol

I'm going to play paintball for the fifth time on March 1st.

My friends and I go out on occasion, usually once or twice a month. Great game, I highly recommend it. Better than sitting around all day on the computer I say. I've only ever played hardcore speedball once, and its not for me. I prefer woodsball, less paint waisted and more brainpower used lol. The downside is that its crazy expensive.

wait till you play on a team in a speed bal tourney....no more nice people ill tell you that. Thinking about getting a gun? talk to me about them ive played for 4 yrs now.

'been playing paintball since I was 10 (5 years of exp.)

its been fun.

speedball is my favourite.

Anyone here have questions about
buying a gun?
I am your ultimate critic!

 

[Spartan 051]

Been playing for like 3 years and try to get out as much as i can (when i have money)

I like speedball, hyperball and a new one for me is x-ball (when i have money)

But i have to say psp is making paintball a lot cheaper to play when they changed the rate of fire

 

[homsar66]

wow i love paintball, i get out as much as i can. Those of you that do play, what do you guys shoot? PMR for me.
Oh and those of you who havn't been there, check out www.pbnation.com Its a great place. I'm on there more than here.

the nation i hate the little kids

I shoot an 05 EGO then the normal 45/45 and a halo

 

[tipper]

I love playing scenario ball and speedball.

I remember my first time going, playing speedball in a regular arena with 40 a side.

Right after the city's travel speedball tryouts were done.

then stay out of the smartparts and small talk sections

Tippman has to be the best recreational gun. Especially for woods balling. I absolutely love the Invert Mini Gun 2 though.

 

[MrSniper19]

i have a tippmann a-5 with a palmers custom brass barrel and a response trigger...

I have a lathe modified BE Raptor with extended and ported barrel and modified spyder inners. (paintball)
Also a SW 1911 300fps airsoft pistol

I have to say nothing is better than alil paint from a red or orange paintball kill. Airsoft is great for when you can't get out to the the paintball tourneys though.

I've played for about three years. I first got a Tippmann 98 and bought a flatline. A word of advice to people who are just getting into paintball, take your gun in your/someone's backyard and get to know your gun, WELL. I didn't do anything with my flatline until I was in the middle of a game and the paintball would fly level till about 30 feet then dip about a foot for 5 feet and then fly up at about a 30 degree angle. I was trying to shoot a guy in a creek bed and the ball was either 10 feet in front of him or 100 feet behind him. I upgraded to the X7 a while ago and you won't believe how much more accurate it is with the barrel it came with, and it only got better with a flatline. I now have the X7 with the air-thru stock, flatline, and a combat grip, it's in a completely different league than the walmart guns. ...in my opinion.

just a word of advice, if you still have your 98: the reason for the ball "flying up" is because your shooting too hot. Back your gun down to around 260-270. The trick is to basically "tune" your gun untill you hit a sweet spot where there's minimal drop and maximum range. Hope that helps.
