you should clarify your rules on shooting w/o direct line of sight
i was playing like two years back and i was lying behind a bunker and i saw a guy start running up to bunker me, so i stuck my gun around the corner of the bunker, and never losing sight of him shot him twice
he thought that was bullshit so he just kept yelling and running and shot me like 5 times

Ok, i'll get started.
The first time i was shot it ricoched of my arm and didnt burst. The ones that dont burst are the ones that sting the most!
Me and a friend of mine who was on the other team were both running around this hedge. We scared the shit outa each other when we saw one another and shot eachother on the head 5 or 6 times...it absolutley killed.

Why are paint grenades a waste of money? I would have thought they'd be good to make the enemy atleast get out in the open to run away if it doesnt get them.
Smoke grenades good?

Well depends what you want out of it...
If you're in for the fun...sure smoke/paint grenades make it more "interesting", especially if you guys are playing scenario games (ie. attack & defend, hostage rescue etc.)
I come from a tournament style of play (speedball)...screw the grenades, get a plan down (angles), play fast and smart with lots of communication between teammates.

Both can be fun.

I love paintballing. It's heaps of fun. Im not really into the speed-ball thing, but the outback warfare is awesome. Snipering peoples off is the greatest.

I am going to get myself a marker soon. I want to get the evil Omen.



Its a blow-back with an electronic trigger & a good bolt.

oh i got one more. in 7th grade my buddy bought a gun and asked me to shoot him. we didnt know how to work it so the paintballs kept going all sideways and what not. we finally turned down the air and 33 shots later i got him. can you imagine standing there for like 15min w/ a kid who has no aim shooting at you? lol!
