Paintball

Anyone else here watch or play paintball?

I play also have my own team called Element, we arent perfect but were great. Paintball is awesome and the adrenaline is off the charts.

What how can you watch paintball??

Always wanted to give it a go cus it looks awesome, trouble is it costs quite a bit!

Well I have been playing it before... we had free course and the equipment wasn't so expensive, 20 quids for 3 persons ...

We had the whole facility for us... eh ... we would normaly hide and drink xD
But the problem was when they found us... ehm ...

Played it a few times. We have a pretty good place near us. I usually end up bruised and battered because I just charge in and try take out the other team alone. Usually failing miserably though I did get one of them in the balls who repeatedly shot at me. Twas sweet.

Prefer airsoft. No need for gas and ammo is far, far cheaper (10 quid on a paintball day out gets you 100 shots - the same tenner beforehand will get you about 6,700 BBs)

Nah Paintballing is far more fun, you can go blind for a start!

*Remembers Byker Grove and feels old*

I love the action the adrenaline and the pain, sorry sound a little emo there but when I get hit, I try to remember who hit me so I can light them up next round.

I've tried paintball, didn't like it. Never tried airsoft but I'd imagine it to be better but not as close as you can get unless you add some sort of sound device or whatever to the weapons. Laser system with real weapons is far better in my opinion. Give the noise, the feel, the smell, everything really except the fatal wounds.

Ah paintballing is great fun, Im considering joining a team in the local valley, really like it. Tactical and semi-painful. Great stuff.

Tactical...*coughs loudly*, well, it should be...When I played with my friend's we were hopeless...Think rambo, then think of a few Rambos, then take all the machoness and military skill out of the Ramobos, and that was us

I got some Paintball package thingy... from a paintball group called IPG. Apparently theyre a British company, anyone been to them?
If so, can someone tell me what its like.. im skeptical.

ive been to loads of paintball places they only charge £30 to £40

i went paintballing for for my mates birthday. there were about 10 in our group then you get the other people. think it was about 15 v 15. awesome day out, lasts a fair while with a lunch break (included in price). worked out at around 30 quid with 500 paintballs, but i upgraded my pack for 1000, running out of ammo is never good.

How many paintballs you recommend I get? You get 500 at the start and can purchase more in bundles of 500.

Coz like.. i dont wanna buy paintballs im not gonna use.. and im pretty conservative with ammo (aint no rambo)
