I don't know if anyone started a thread on this subject. I just want to meet other paintballers out there and share some experience/stories or set up a meet!

[nobody knows]

my friend was coming home from a paintball competition in Pennsylvania and got in a car accident
he died

..

I always thought the balls were gumballs though

I've never paintballed before, but I heard those things hurt like a mother.

My cousin used to come back from the wars with huge ass bruises all over his body.
I remember my friend's brother used to paintball, and for fun we threw a couple of the paintballs on her driveway...yeah, that didnt' go over so well with her parents.

sad to hear your story JO =T

it's not as painful as you think, its like getting whip by a wet towel I guess? just a sting and it goes away. When you play at public places theres a limit on how fast you can set your ball to travel so it doesn't cause significant damage. You can still get bruises if you wear just a shirt or something.

First time I played ever, as soon as the game started I got shot in the head by a stray ball from 200-300 feet away haha. I was not happy xD

omg paintballing is so fun
especially outdoors...indoors is kinda eh...
but when both teams wear camo and there's like battle tactics and stuff it's really cool
if you go with an experienced person then it's really fun

paintballing is like laser tag, but it hurts. a LOT. my friends were paintballing and this fat guy got shot in the balls >_> people found him slouched over, and one guy just shot in the head as he was down to add insult to injury

Ahaha I went paintballing this weekend for my birthday! It was funny because I was expecting something like dodgeball where when you hit someone you're out, and that's pretty much the whole point of the game, but wow was I wrong.

We had game situations where the first team to grab a flag in the middle of the field would win, and attack and defend where one team is defending a building, and the other is attacking it - trying to hit all the people defending it...

There were also so many hardcore guys there...While we were defending, this one guy was like, "Okay, you guys watch the stairs and make sure there isn't a breach!" and using all these war/counter-strike lingo...At one point the attackers got into the building and he started shouting, "BREACH BREACH!" HAHAHAHA I really felt like I was in counter-strike! =D

One thing that bugged me though was the mask. I know it's for protection and all, but it gets really foggy. Near the end I finally shot a person (yay ), but I kept shooting him because I didn't think I got him, so he had to keep screaming "HIT" for me to realize I did get him! HAHA

Man, paintballing was awesome =D

paintballing is great once you get used to the pain...
what types of guns do you guys use?

[x0ny]

I used to use a Tippmann 9 custom but I just bought myself a Tiberius Arms T9 the other night. It should come in a few days =D how about you rising?

It's good to see there a some people that are interested in playing, but it seems many are afraid of the pain. It's not as bad as many people say it is =P.

Paintballing in the rain is like THE best weather to play paintballing in. So damn fun.
