Anybody here play paintball?

Im starting to play paintball again for something to do in my spare time instead of working on stuff i was wondering if anybody plays or likes paintball that are fellow members.

 

yep!! i love it, im actaully playing this saturday with some friends. I try to play as much as possible, but it can get a little spendy

 

yeah my fiance was pissed how much money the stuff was i was buying. what kind of marker do you use?

 

i have a crappy brass eagle, idk what series it is, i payed 30 bucks for it on Overstock.com and i like it alot. The thing sounds like a shotgun it is so loud, and is suprisingly accurate...sometimes. The funny thing is that all my friends bought more expensive guns, and theres have had many problems, but mine hasn't got anything wrong with it yet.

 

ive had 2 brass eagles when i started. one was a pump and it flat out sucked. the other was an avenger (same as a Viewloader Orion) but one of the bolts on the inside (idk the name anymore) broke and it would have cost the price of the gun to buy a new assembly. they didnt just sell the bolt.

i finally got a tippmann 98 custom and put an A-5 loader, 16" barrel and double trigger on. eventually i just stopped playing and my wallet has thanked me

 

I play on occassion, not near a smuch as I used to in the 90's; but have far more guns then days to play with them. I am more a collector then a player any more. I spend a lot of time on pb message boards as well.

 

Here's a thread already made for us. : http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/sports-hobbies-interests/27283-paintballers.html

 

Not paintball... I play a lot of airsoft - which is similar.

I have a big game on Sunday Nov. 29th coming up. Just upgraded my sniper rifle - and I wanna try it out.

You guys should try airsoft....doesn't hurt as much. ...and might actually be a little cheaper.

 

never got into airsoft, some of the people playing were WAAAAAYYYY to into it and acted like they were living in a movie (and beleived it). the others just never got hit. Paintball at least you can usually tell when someones hit.

 

yea thats what I like about paintball. I like that it leaves marks, then its kinda cool to show them off

 

Yeah, that would depend on who you play with. The group I play with is an actual forum and it's pretty popular. They don't mess around with the rules & safety. If you're one of those people who don't 'call your hits' - then other people will report you to the staff (My husband is staff). If you continually fail to call your hits, then you can get banned from playing with the group.

Our 'big games' can have as many as 200 people playing.

 

here is my gun! its my baby.
