I know somebody here plays besides me. I like anime, but I live for paintball. Best thing in the world as far as I'm concerned. Come on, lets seem some pics of your gats, you playing, vids, ect.

Main marker:
04 SP Virtue boarded Shocker, mad ups on it. Only stock parts are the body and ball detents (unless you count the eye cover).

My backup:
Brand new Proto Rail. Not my pic obviously, but mine is stock so it looks the same.

I haven't played so far paintball but i'd love to try. A new field has oppened in my city so i am going to give it a try. I've been wondering how it's like for quite some time... WISH me luck.

GL man. If you get into it like I did it eats your money away, but it's so worth it. XD

In Kentuky I can not find a single game anywhere. Ulike the west coast where it is everywhere. Wht is everyone's favorite speedball or woodsball?

I can say this much if you cannot find a area made for paintballing, make one your self! All you need a group of people and a wooded area BOOM! A paintball field if you want to make it more intresting make barricades and bunkers and you cna have some real fun on a homemade paintball feild. ok now for a sotry, me and a group of 11 people would go out during any season in the woods behind my house and we would play games for hours! As of paintball gun i used a stock tippmann 98 my bro used a tippmann 98 custom. We had some fun. A little advisory though never play with the volocity all the way up becuase they hurt like a son of a bitch.

lol. Yeah I would say so. Problem isn't finding an area to play it is getting the people to play. I play with the few friends that actually have the balls to play but that is only five. To make a real good game you need 10-12 people. I have a homemade course in the back of my field. Bunkers secret tunnels and tree stands if you have the courage to leave yourself open.

Hmm, i have a tricked out tippman custom, flatline barrel and back stock with a response trigger, its a beast, i normally lay donw massive amounts of paintballs while my comrades move in, we have a small team and play up north where fields are plentiful.

More of a speedballer myself. I play an odd scenerio game now and then, but that's pretty rare. I spend most of my time haning at the airball field and play with the ref's X-ball team.

i love paintball. Paintball and anime is my life lol. There not a good combination since they both cost alot.

ahh paint ball. Hant played since my A-5 broke...

Paint ball, Jesus, I would like to try it once, I have hear that is a hard game.

its only hard if you have a bunch of kids sitting in the back not doing anything. Its hard to win a games when half of the people are too scared to even fire a few back at the other team.

I hate playing hyperball with those type of people, usually its up to me and a few of my teammates to win the round. Im more of a tourney person that being one of the reasons why i like to practice with my team than to play walkons. We all work together and get the job done.

It will seem sorta hard at first but once you learn everything its not bad at all.

Woodsball. Tippman A5. ...Need to find peeps who play on the weekend. :(

Paint ball, as in using "weapons" to shoot ... ballon-like-things with color-liquid in it? o_O If so, I've never tried paintball, been thinking that I should try sometime, but I heard that it hurts... D:

if god played a sport, it'd be paintball. too bad its so costly. but its fun as hell.

i wouldnt call a paintball gun a weapon cuz they are not weapons. Weapons are things used to kill. Theres a very low chance of dieing from a paintball marker.

It hurts at first but you get used to it. sometimes i dont even feel it

Well your chance of getting hurt by paintballs is directly related to to how seriously you play. The walk on games at my field have a 20 foot rule so you can't get hit from too close. When you play serious speedball you can nail each other point blank. I have permanent marks on me from getting bunkered. One on my leg and the other between my index and middle finger on my left hand. But even those were livable. I had a good laugh with my friend who gave me the one on my hand since in the process I almost destroyed his new tattoo fron lighting up his arm, so we were even. ^^

As for other injuries, I've yet to see someone sustain any serious injury from playing paintball. It does happen, but compared to the more conventioanl sports such as football and soccer, the injury rate is incredibally low. If you play serious tournaments knee injuries are common from sliding and diving, but if you just play recreationally it's very unlikly you'll be injured. The worst you sustain is a few welts and sore legs from running.

GUESS WHAT? I FINNALY PLAYED.
Wow it's really exciting...the rush the adrenaline. OK i've become a fan of this sport. If you have any advices for a newbie in paintball please give some SHK :D.

Well, for starters you need to decide financially how often you'll be able to play. Personally I need about $100 per day of play, but I have a really fast marker and I I shoot a lot (about 1500 in 4 hours). At any rate though, it's expensive. If you can afford to play often then getting a good marker is probably a good idea. Then you need to decide what type of play you want to focus on. The two main types of paintball are speedball and milsim. Speedball is the tournament ESPN style play, and will require a marker with a very high fire rate. Milsim is military scenario style play, also known as woodsball. In the beginning however, I would reccomend getting a marker that does both well, since you may change your mind after trying both. I started out woodsball and ended up hardcore speedball. PM me if you want some good entry level marker choices.

After that it's all practice. Play with the better players, even if you suck all day. Part of getting better is learning how to survive against better players. Last time I played I almost bunkerd a guy who plays pro for Nasty. XD
