I've been playing for about 7 years now.

Have you ever played before?
Do you play often?
What markers do you own?
Your thoughts on the sport (even if you don't play)?

My newest Gun.





My BABY

[Blazin]

I've just started playing, about 3-4 months ago I believe. I whenever my father dosen't have work (On Sundays). There are no regulated fields here, so we play with his friends from work at different woodland areas lol. I have a  Spider Fenix, Tippman A5 flatline, OldSchool Mini-mag, a fickle AutoCocker, and and Angel IR3 ( like the one you have up there lol) on it's way - used, can't afford a new one o.0. Nothing special, but I try lol. I don't know much about the sport, just you get out there and take out everyone.

[dck]

I do, very very fun. I last went on...saturday (a week ago )

My stuff (Tippmann 98c) :

I'm just starting out with paintballing...am already a big fan of Spyder equipment. Currently I'm working on making a long range sniper type barrel with scope and laser sights.

Here in Australia you have to be 18 to Paintball, which I think is stupid. Or something like that, but once I can I will. Always wanted to.

[Dagron]

I play here in nz and the age restriction is 12+ and we can play were ever we want I'm lucky because I have a huge forest next to my place

And tis is the gun I want

dck are you ckychic?

Anyways seems that woodball is alot more popular of the west coast. I play mainly speed and some x-ball.

Good call on buying used guns. Definately save yourself 50%+ pm equipment that way.

[acidtears]

I dont but I always wanted to

my friends r organizing a big paintball thingy for the end of this month its gonna be my first ti'me..

I heard it hurts a lot but my friends say no...I dont believe 'em because they psycho + I'm the only girl in the gang so I'm convinced dat I'ma get hurt.

[Smeags]

Well it doesn't hurt so much as it just leaves bruises =(

I'm taking two of my friends to go play the weekend after prom. They wouldn't go before becuase then their legs would be bruised.

One of my friends had a bruise for 3 months...

[acidtears]

I dont wanna be bruised!! lol..I'm not sure if I wanna play anymore

but it looks fun, id shoot my friends in the nuts to be mean but I cant ai'm for shit

[Simply Somebody]

Wahoo.. Painball! I play a bunch. Probably like once a month, but as soo as I get a sponsor for my team then more!

I got a 2002 Cocker. (WgP) Li'mited Edition (Winter) got a new angle bolt. I have a 68ci 4500 tank.(amazing) Got some other stuff but not I'mportant.

YEa dont have a gun as nice as yours but thats cool.

I have been playing since 3rd grade I am not in 9th yu do the math.

How did you get started?

[redlion]

Never played, because of the cost. Too much money to spend for an hour or two of fun once a month. Bleh.

[Ashaide]

I would love to do this, or even get my son doing this.. he likes BB guns and all that, so maybe one day he can do this

[dck]

dck are you ckychic?

Erm...What?

Well, when you get into it you stay longer I went for 5 or 6 hours Saturday


Well, to keep this more on topic: Personally I don't get hit all that often (last week was an exception with my triangle of pain ), and people tend to exagerate about how much it hurts. If you think it hurts that much don't go out in a short sleeve shirt (I do, much easier to move around in which counts for something) and wear a heave jacket or something.

[Smeags]

I just thought it was a fun sport so I tried it out. I went to the field rented a tippy and started playing more frequently.

I usually wear a jersey elbow pads, shin guards, paintballing pants (somewhat si'milar to motorcycle pants) mainlt for bounces but it also helps prevent bruising.

lmao, great sig Smeags!

And I've never been paintballing. Might make a change to ball-painting...

[dck]

Oh yes, if any of us Irvine/Southern California people want we could all go someti'me during the summer or whatever >_> apparently jpt goes on vacation near camp pendleton.

[Smeags]

Aww I live in the bay area. I visit socal once a summer though so maybe we could play =p.

DCK sorry for mixing you up with ckychic, its your avy looks like an old sig she had.

[Frizzle]

If there was more places around my area I would go, and I notice you yankies put alot of ti'me and effort into your guns.

Git orf my properteh! No really, it's just a fun thing to do that I can do with friends...though some people go crazy with it down here O.o

[Smeags]

I acutally make money buying/reselling markers. That current angel is for sale.  I use to be really into it thats why I have the I'mmortalviking. But lately I've been really bogged down with school. So I only play with my friends lately. Though this summer I'll probably try to get on a local novice or rookie team.

[Simply Somebody]

Heh, yea. I am usre you have heard of the Nasty I'mpulse.. My home field is the maker of that gun. Nice huh?

How many of you are the "woodsball" people the people who talk about how the ran up the tree and snipered people or hid in the bushes till the guy came and shot the guy up with your tippman.. I want to here your guys stories. I personally think they are great!

[Smeags]

I had a rat I'mpulse 2 years ago shot perfectly. I really wanted to get a nasty shocker but I prefer the shocktech/octane milling better.

[Simply Somebody]

heh.. I like the rat look.. But would perfer to get a nasty. maybe if I win one of their tornaments I will get one..

[Smeags]

What gun you shooting now? Got a pic of your getup?
