I just went this past Saturday, and I never knew it would be so fun. So does anyone have any cool stories or experiences? Also if anyone has any custom guns or guns in general it would be fun to post some pictures up.

General pictures


Before sat I never knew that paintball guns could look like real guns.


Well this past Saturday I went paintballing for my sisters boyfriend birthday party and it was really fun. I used a gun that he owned since he plays a lot and kinda makes a hobby out of it. Well to make things short, I never seemed to get shot in the freaking chest area where my vest was. We were playing chest and head outs and I never got hit anywhere but my helmet and arms and legs, so my vest came out clean. I could have gone out vestless and would have been safe. All in all i got one visable bruise and another part on my arm that hurts but no bruise; super weird.

If anyone wants to see I can post up some pictures

I've been several times.

I enjoy hurting my friends. tongue.gif No custom guns, just the ones I use at the paintball park.

I do paintball and also Airsoft. I prefer Airsoft more because of the mil-sim. If you find a good arena to play like the place I go to (SAC), it's awesome.

My Airsoft Rifles:








Paintball guns that try to emulate real weapons look cheesy as hell. Airsoft is the way to go smile.gif

We were gonna do airsoft but we decided not to, instead of getting shot a billion times we opted to play one shot out if you get shot on the head or chest area.

Your last pic, my sisters boyfriend has that same exact gun *his side arm*,

The one that he has that looks like a real gun besides the fact of the little thing where you have your paintballs, and to me it looks and shots really cool.

When we went we saw this guy with a huge paintball gun, it was so impractical because it was so heavy and big and by time he would turn he would get shot like 10 times.

i played once, it was really fun. i tend to like the more scenic and natural areas as opposed to the wooden shelters and such. i used the rental guns, they are complete crap & so inaccurate. what worked well was hiding in a good spot. i got shot in the face mask once and the other times were limb shots i think. the most annoying was when i got shot, i got up with my arms raised in defeat and i got hit in the crossfire.

I played paintball for about 8 years, professional for 4, both rec-ball and tourny/speedball. It went from real fun to real tedious. But I still play once in awhile with friends, I could never seem to get rid of the bug. smile.gif It's real fun, especially with friends. Sponsors came and went, but friends stayed and kept playing.

My first time playing was for my sisters birthday party last saturday, and since he is a avid player he had all our gear and stuff the only thing we had to do was provide our own cloths which i made a mistake on because what I freaking wore made me stick the hell out. So when we go again next week or so he said that he'll take me out to buy my own gear.

I think I have really caught the bug for this sport because I just cant wait until we go again.


Well we were playing forts like the whole time and the last time I was on the tower, and I was getting bombarded by shots I never want to be up there again, because you have to call out where everyone is and I don't want to mess up and miss someone and my team losses even though my teammates wouldn't blame me, I just dont like the pressure. Also I got shot once by my brother while I was up there and that one shot hurt the most cause it hit me on my tricep and it was totally ungraded.

I realised that some people are total jackasses, our first game out we had to play with another group of people and since my team we have a lot of avid players we were better and after the game the other team was talking all this mess and one of the guys actually shot one of my friends when we got out of the little area. He got kicked out but trust me if he would have stayed he would have gotten his butt whooped.

What? Shot a billion times? Airsoft is also one-shot-out, except with much cooler scenarios. You don't just play capture the flag or domination, you actually get to play a real game. Imagine Call of Duty scenarios, indoor, with rooms to clear and actual settings. Plus, BB's don't break apart when they hit you so it's more painful.

That being said, I'm about to go play some paintball with some friends this weekend. Should be fun too.

Yea sorry I got mixed up with speed ball and airsoft, well yea I don't think ima ever play airsoft because he doesn't like it and well since we go with him he makes the decision. But for right now i dont really find any intrest in it but maybe next time ill ask him to play airsoft instead. That's weird he actually told me that airsoft is weak and the bullets dont hurt as much as paintballs thatch why we don't play.

Well airsoft is more interesting if it's scenario based action because all players has proper gears and there is "story" to follow.
Imo bb's dont hurt if you dont modify your weapons.

Berget is the biggest airsoft scenario in the World, it's held in Sweden every year.

Regrets
Yeah
I've been a few times.
I remember when it was near the end of a round
I had heaps of bullets left so i shot my friend randomly up close
He has a bruise on his ass HAHAHA

We had shotgun- like guns.
We had to reload everytime we shot

i play once every 3 months, going again on saturday. i'm too poor to play it. >___<
i can't wait to shoot my friends. if i can.
one of my friends is going to upgrade the rental into an ion and i'll have the shoddy standard. shoddy standard FTW! T__T

I would play paintball more but it gets too expensive sometimes. Of course you don't have to buy the marker and mask but the rentals really stink (literally and figuratively). First time I played, I was a camper for most of the matches. Usually, I'd probably be the last one 'alive'. Now, I sometimes go out rambo and do a lot of run and gun lol.

My gun is a Smartparts Epiphany.

I went paintballing once, and the experience was really fun. I went indoors, though. However, when I thought about how much cooler it would be outdoors, I really wanted to try it!

But I came back with too many bruises, so my parents refused to let me go again... ==;;

I did in the background of my friends house. I don't even remember if I got hit though, it was awhile ago. LOL Her brothers were vicious to one guy playing, they still scary me.

I plan to go this summer indoors with my friends. It will be fun, but one of them is kind of a drama queen so it will be interesting to go with her. Actually she may ditch us! rolleyes.gif

My brothers play and I tag along.
They don't shoot Tippman's tho, only when they first started.
Now they shoot Bob Long's and Luxe's.
