Any tips? My friends and I like to joke around a lot so I was thinking of doing some stupid crap like rolling on the ground with my arms outstretched shooting my gun Will Smith style. Would we be able to do dumb stuff like this or would the pain from the shots really make us want to hide behind trees like a :ghey:?

If the course has regualted guns then it only stings I played in a modified class arena and the shit left welts..... I was big into a while back and the last time I went I was the only guy left on my team against 6 others I went comando on there ass...
-
I went once in High School and it was SO much fun. I would recommend against wearing short sleeves. We actually played on an outdoor course with bases and shit. People were going all Navy Seal on each other. The area was SO big we were actually trying to set cover fire and flank our opponent. It was a blast.
The pain isn\'t so bad that you are going to want to hide but you definately are not going to be running out Rambo style.
-
Dont mess around, it can hurt- besides all the nerdy people (hopefully whatever you do the people arent all extreme "manuevers!!!")
Have fun, its awesome.
I paintball way out in the mountains and shit, its fun.
-
The only way to paintball is to wear just a cup and mask.
-
I used to go all the time, it was so much fun. Last time I went was about 2 years ago.
-
Like Cyrus said, if it has regulated guns it doesn\'t hurt too bad.
-
MPTheory and I go when it\'s not too hot outside.
It hurts, but you don\'t feel it if you are running at full adrenaline. It\'s when your "friend" shoots you in the ass while your walking ahead of them that really brings you to tears.
-
Tears? You cant be serious.
Well, I guess im just assuming how much it hurts because ive never been. Ive always wanted to but i never find the time to get a gang of people to go out there.
I only play the "wussy" version paintball - Lazer Tag. We do all that navy seal crap but there are also mirrors so its a bit more tactical i guess (considering it makes it both more difficult and easier at the same time. The best part about it, is that there are grates in random places on the upper levels so you can shoot up at people above you.
I dont know if i would play paint ball without a mask. There are too many stupid ass kids that would "accidently" shoot you in the face or something. I guess i could take one in the back of the head but im sure that hurts like hell too. I guess i could live w/o a cup, but it would be preferable.

I would like to get into paintball. I have friends that do it. I don\'t have any of the equipment nor enough money.

lol. nice.
Screw all that unregulated shit. I dont think ill ever be in the mood for bleeding welts. And i know ill get hit at least once.

I used to play for a tournament team a few years ago, I miss it..

I play paintball all the time. Paintballs an hurt immensely! Depending on the type of gun. There\'s some guns out there (Angel\'s) that shoot super a$$ far. Oh yea, lazer quest/tag is the best. My friends and i go a lot. Well, we used to when we were younger. Now, we paintball all the time. In town. lol. Sometimes we go out to my g-pa\'s farm. It\'s gotta nice swamp, forest, nice brush and a whole lotta corn! Its about 40 acres all together.

Basically, if you play with it regulated, like they said, it shouldn\'t hurt. I however have played about 70% of my paintball unregulated, and as long as the people there aren\'t assholes, they shouldn\'t be playing at that high a speed anyway. I have played upwards of 20 times, and only once have I been hit and had it really hurt, and that was from close up in the neck.
I once saw someone have tears brought to their eyes by a hit, but that was an accident. Some jackass was fooling around with a gun he thought was empty, had the barrel against the other guys skin, and shot, not realizing there was still a paint ball in the chamber. The thing looked like a real gunshot wound, I swear.
Honestly though, if you are afraid of the pain, my advice is to just wear loose fitting clothing. It slows the pain enough before it hits you that it doesn\'t really hurt. I really wouldn\'t worry about the pain. In my experience, it\'s nothing too bad.

Back now, was damn fun except for the part where everyone\'s dumb facemasks would fog up. They need to make some with built in fans or something, but it was a humid morning so oh well.
Not sure if it was regulated or not but the land was owned by some redneck and they had three different fields. Capture the flag, the village (with little huts as buildings), and a different CTF field with only 1 flag in the middle. Last round I grabbed the flag and my friend covered my ass. He got shot and I ran around the tree to shoot the other guy. We both suck because we were probably 7 feet away from each other shooting wildly and neither of us got hit. He ran outta ammo so we won. :ghey:
As for the pain it hurt but us Filipinos are big boneded and meaty, my white skinned friends have multiple big ass welts but I only have one minor one even though I was hit a plenty, haha.
I didn\'t get to do any fancy Will Smith/John Woo moves but rushing an old guy to get hit square in the head with a paintball was pretty dramatic. So in conclusion I suck very much at PB but I\'ll go again if my friends feel like it.
PS- anyone know where I can download some good hacks for this game?
-
Recommended hack: Fog resistant facemasks :)
-
That\'s the most important piece of equipment you\'ll quickly realize. Fogging up sucks, spend the extra money on the good goggles!! If you can\'t see you can\'t shoot..
-
Ah.. I\'d love to try out paintball.. But its expensive as hell here. :(
I know of a few guys that dress up in military gear, go out into the woods and have a full scale war.
I remember they tried to recreate a Normandy scene with boats.. Did not go too well for the attackers. ;)
-
Always wear a mask.
Why even risk losing an eye?

Big Boneded...
Hmm...

Hey while on the subject check out this monstrosity:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=10554&item=3695608433&rd=1
Let\'s mount this sucker on mm\'s jeep and go get us some Arabs. :chainsaw:
-
I wouldn\'t buy that thing for the price of a normal marker. I\'ll bet the amount of balls breaking in the barrels is insanely high. Would be such a pain :p
-
I bet if they put some kind of pepper spray type of solution that also irritated the skin or something in the paint, you could blast some a-rabs and actually get the job done w/o killing anybody. Of course maybe you should put on a full body kavalar suit before trying it. :p
