How many here play paintball?
I've been getting into it recently and found it be a extremely fun sport.
I'm gonna be going to a Scenario Paintball game in June called D-Day.
They're capping the even this year @ 4000 people.
I know this is a computer forum and all but maybe theres a few people here who play.
http://oklahomadday.com is the site for the D-day event.
Tried it once in a radio-station promo thing (Morning DJ's team vs the Marketing Director's team). We whipped their butts (MD had stacked her team with all us ex-military types). I got put out in the last bit (3 hits == out that round) of the skirmish, and had monster bruises for a week after, but it rocked! It's a serious adrenaline rush stalking something that stalks back.
Yeah thats what I love about paintball, is the rush of the game.
Whats gonna be scary is this D-Day thing.
My friend and I are part of the 1'st division and what we do is assault the beach. They actually load us up on a boat (about 10 boats total) and we make a beach landing and try to take a wall being held by the germans. Well apparently once the doors open on the boat theres about 1000 rounds of paint in the air heading your way. Just think about getting it 10+ times in the matter of a few seconds :( lol
Thats when you buddy up with a few guys in the boat and as soon as the door is about to open you act all friendly like and let them go charging outta the boat first.Quote:

You have to remember that everything is fair in love and war.
I've played for about 9 months. It's pretty fun especially when you just have fun and goof off. And sometimes I play better when I don't take it too seriously, too. :rolleyes: Good luck at D-day, cheyenne1212!

Yeah I play to have fun.
Aden: Thats what I was thinking lol. I'll be a gentlmen and let everyone off the boat first :p
I could just pick a small kid up and hold him in front of me till I get to a bunker? lol
Or I might be the bunker since I'm 6'5" and 275lb :( Everyone might be hiding behind me. lol
We play in the woods on the out skirts of otwn here and have a blast. I was never much for the "speed ball" variety where it is basicaly an obstical course and wasted paint. D-Day sounds like a freaking blast (pardon the pun). The first hit I ever took was intentional. We were gearing up for my first time out and I let a few guys just kinda open up on me so I could see what it felt like ahead of time........ OUCH. But being the adrenaline junky that I am nothing could stop me. After a few good welt raising thumps you start playing a lot more skillfully cause you dont want that **** to hapen to you again :) Good luck and have fun Chey
We oughta get a AO team to go to D-Day :p
you all lead and I'll follow you onto the beach.
oooohhhh sounds like fun... Let all of us get shot first. I would have too much fun shooting my own team if we were on a team though... ;)Quote:

Yeah no liquor for jarrod at least 8 hours before game on :p
dont you think we should allow at least a 72 hour detox period? I mean he is the only one I know who's face was put on the side of beer cans when he was kidnapped instead of milk cartons
Maybe 84 hour detox just to be safe.
That would be all we would need, is a few of us inside a room at a fort or something and jarrod gets bored and decides to see what a paint grendade does in a room :( lol
lol... you both are definetely going to get shot now... No beer and paintball for me. You guys both know that I dont play CS as well drunk, so I dont think I would booze it up before risking my butt with you guys. And Zombie: My face was on the side of a beer bottle, not can.... ;)
Getting shot in the knee at ten feet by a $500 Spyder setup SUCKS! I had a welt for like a month.
Paintballing rocks, I've only been a few times, but I was better than a lot of the other people there using rental stuff... I want to buy my own stuff, but me being the jobless high school student I can't afford it. I should REALLY get a job ;)
You can get you a decent Spyder Imagine LED for $180.
I use a Diablo Wrath. 20Bps got it modded to go full auto to :p
I also have a Tipmman 98 custom.
Spyder Imagine's a pretty tight little gun, my brother owns it. I have a Spyder Flash (discontinued) and love it. Eventually, I want to get a Series 5 (I believe Chipley Custom Machine makes it, but their site's down ATM so I can't check.) But that's a couple years away... :-)Quote:

I'm buying a Tipmann 98 Custom package when I get one. They run right around 200 and the best thing is all the upgrades for it. You can easily spend 400 dollars making you're gun really good, and you can't do that with a lot of the other guns.
I'm happy with what I have at the moment.
Probably gonna end up letting my sister use the tippman 98 (shes gonna mod it out somewhat).
I'm gonna keep my wrath for speedball(upgrade to a shocker later). I'm gonna get a Armotech gun though. If you guys have seen them they are bad ass. Oughta check them out.
I like pbreview.com for checking out the different guns.
