I do. Prepare to have a great time. And remember, a tree is not cover. If you have as much as a foot sticking out eventually you will be hit.

This goes with holes in bunker walls, no matter how small. You would be amazed how easily paintballs find there way through them.

Also, little kids are your worst enemies. Adults are out there for a novelty experiance for the most part. Kids are out there every weekend, beware.

Paintballs go fast, you usually never need to shoot more than three rounds at any one time. Don't waste them on cover fire if no one has the balls to actually advance either.

And lastly, RUSH YOUR OPPONENT. Most people just hole up behind cover, but you would be amazed how many don't expect you to rush and freeze when you do.

Paintballs go fast... 300 feet/second or around 200mph.

Yeah, when I say kids I am think 12-16 year olds.

I usually have so much energy I don't feel pain, it is fun letting the gf find all the bruises I didn't know I had (especially when playing in the winter time).

I used to fear paintballs until I was shot a few times with sim rounds...

I usually get shot on the shoulder from shooting from cover.

Every once and awhile though one finds its way into the side of my abdomen, those leave the best bruises

You wear a chest protector?

I wear a mask, throat, and jock.

When I was doing some various training they had to beat out of us the tendancy to show your side to the theat. It is natural to try and lower you profile. Unfortunetly since most armored vests have the max protection concetrated on the front and back with the sides unprotected for mobility, alot of people were getting killed by bieng shot straight through from one side to the other.

They had some gruesome pictures, so now I automatically square up on a threat. Not so good for paintball though.

I've played about ten times, and it's great fun, but it has been a while since last time. Playing against unexperienced people, I totally pwn, and after I purchased a semi marker I could occationally hit a few experienced players as well.

I need to find friends who are committed to go trough the pain of being owned by me and pay the money the ball cost. Those are rare.

Have a good weekend all. I'm off to shoot people.
