Re: Paintball
 

w00t! I borrowed some equipment, and now I'm good to go get my butt kicked on the fields. lol

Aye.. what I let myself get talked into. :ahh: :p

Re: Paintball
 

If I was closer, I'd go get my butt kicked with you

Re: Paintball
 

I'll be there tomorrow!

I have never played paintball before, so I'm borrowing my friend's stuff. I have no idea the quality of it.... but I think it will be fun anyway!

Re: Paintball
 

I should be there kicking butt. I'm a woodsball guy but it'll be fun to play on a course.
Anyone know if their non-paint buying price includes air?

Re: Paintball
 

Just got back... This was sweet.

Posted a pic in CD-MEDIA.... any time now it should come up....

I'll edit this and post the link when it does.

Thanks guys, for playing!

Re: Paintball
 

Good times. w00t!
Thanks to Jacob from 1991 for joining us, and Jeff from 173 as well.
Fun times had by all.

(One more expensive hobby/sport to get myself addicted to.) LOL

Re: Paintball
 

T'was fun.
Next time we need enough people for a 'party'.

Re: Paintball
 

ROFL... yeah, so we can have a 'Private Party Field'... completely reserved, even when not in use.....

I had a GREAT time.. I still have yet to wash the paint out of my hair :p

Thanks for playing guys!

Re: Paintball

Here's the picture:

Elgin Clock: Storming Through!
(sry for the low quality... camera phone.)


Beware... he's pretty nasty!

Jacob

Re: Paintball
 

Either Elgin is faking his "action shot" or the dude with the barrel plug in his marker needs a little more education on paintball marker operation LOL. :)

Re: Paintball
 

What barrel plug? :confused:







:p

Re: Paintball
 

Photoshop alert!

Why don't you Photoshop in a few welts and paintball splotches on Elgin while you're at it? Let me guess, he was the "sniper" who always stayed in the back? :D

LOL glad you guys had fun - paintball as a team activity is a sure winner.

Re: Paintball
 

lol. I didn't use photoshop...... It was Gimp!

This was before we started. I wanted to take a picture before my phone got all shot up. We had soooo much fun today!

btw... I only have one welt... in the back of my neck. I thought this was going to be a very painful experience, but the only welt I do have was from friendly fire! I had never gone before, and was very scared when I got there. I really had a good time.

Jacob

Re: Paintball
 

Pretty much. But then one time I "bunkered" one person (snuck up close range and shot them - or tried to) and got shot in the face myself with an Orange splotch. That wasn't too fun. Good thing the course has velocity limits on the markers. LOL

Re: Paintball
 

Ouch, I know how that one feels, once I got shot in the side of the neck as well as another rather sensitive place in the same round. Trust me, you'll be nursing that neck welt for a while, mine took a little over a week to go away.

Re: Paintball
 

Try doing that when you have no ammo left. Run toward the bunker and scream like a madman. It's great fun. Especially when it works.

Or pretend you're already out, walk toward the field boundary closest to enemy territory with your gun in the air, then plug 'em in the back (from at least the safe distance specified by the field) when they least expect it. They call it the "Dead Man's Walk".

Re: Paintball
 

That's why you tag 'em twice.

Re: Paintball
 

Nothing quite like explaining a "paintball hicky" to your coworkers. ;)

Re: Paintball
 

Awe man... my back is starting to hurt.... I have a feeling more parts of me are going to start too....

I just finally took a shower... and pulled like 35 shells out of my hair.... just goes to show how well I did...

Re: Paintball
 

My room mates and I all bought spiders on ebay and now myself and another room mate have ions that are just crazy, we go into local woods and play when ever we can all get together its great fun, the welts suck though but its all part of the fun. One of the best times I ever had paint balling was about a month ago 4 of us went out to play paint ball and I decided to see what would happen if I wore my bullet prof vest under my shirt, I got shot like 10 times in the back when I was lying on the ground getting a good shot and never knew it and one of the guys with me thought I was passed out or something, he came up to see if I was ok when I herd him coming I turned around and just about emptied my hopper on this guy. I love paintball

Re: Paintball
 

ya but I got revenge for u (shot the kid in a rather painful spot, same distance away from the kid as elgin was):D
and my new ion got in the "action shot" of elgin lol, funny thing is the kid that were talking about is one of my friends who came with us:D
