Re: Paintballing?
 

when we've been they give you the tubes of 100 balls and before each game we'd be pouring a tube into the hopper. I know the hopper holds 200 but I cant recall it ever been full so we must have been using nearly the full 100.
Its usually about 6/7quid for a 100 and between 8-12 games in the day depending on the time of year that you go. The cheapest its ever been was 69 at Paintball Commando that was the first time I went but plus food and fuel its near enough £100.

Doesnt help my case that I am a bit trigger happy though and I love a good firefight plus Im not one of those to sit rounds out or stay back "so I dont use as much paint this round". I seem to run like nuts, get trapped and then try to shoot my way back towards my own team and a bit of support. Firing in 3 shot bursts its easy to shoot 100 rounds in 10mins.

Lol me neither, when I first went in the first game I was the only one to advance on the other team, noone blumin' dared, the wimps :-P

Only problem with me is I bruise like a peach, I look so colourful after, all the colours of the rainbow :-D

Bet YC is the type of player who'll take an Allan key so that he can increase the air flow on his gun

Oi I resemble that remark!! :-P You're probably right though, men are likely to be more triggerhappy and I suppose there is that niggling little voice in the back of my mind moaning about spending too much cash :-D

Re: Paintballing?
 

resemble? or resent? or am i not getting something here?

Re: Paintballing?
 

it refers to ANdyB's post me thinks. Saying unless your a girl...
In your case grace you'll be fine taking a fiver lol.

oh and another tip, when they give the breifing saying dont shoot someone closer than 10ft instead shout "kill" ignore that it tends to get you shot many times from close range.
As you approach someone in stealth and then shot "kill kill kill" from behind they jump out of thier skin spin round and have a little finger spasm so you just get maimed by a dozen paintballs hitting you in the face. And from that range they hurt... lots :D

Resemble :-) Unless you have doubts about my gender Gracie? :p

Re: Paintballing?
 

na i just mean lasses tend to think more. tbh every time i go i may as well be throwing 20p's out of the end of the gun cause i never hit anything.
