[stronghold]

i would, but the balls paint.. whatever there called are way to expensive for me.. but i am a guns freak!!!

[pr0o boarder]

They're not that expensive. 2000 for 50$. Thats definatly not expensive. And theyre called Paintballs.

[Blind Sheppard]

It is expensive, i did it once, great fun but we spent about £25 for each of us to get in then 3 bags of 500 for £90 but that was at a centre so if we'd bought from a real shop it'd of been cheaper.

[el_whiteboy8888]

yeah i play occasinaly. its pretty damn fun. but i use my cheap wal mart guns to shoot "gangsters" primarly though. talon ghost $30, and "eradicator" $60

[pr0o boarder]

^^Haha. Shoot gangsters. Did they shoot back?

[el_whiteboy8888]

no it was at night. they are usally all too drunk/high to do anything except ***** about it at school for months. they make it a big deal like "it was the west siders" while it was just some dumb skate kid that hates "gangsters" in general. be careful were you do it. the "bangers" around here are all pussies that cant do anything with out at least 3 friends, so i can do it.

[pr0o boarder]

And i thought Kansas was the tornado state.

[el_whiteboy8888]

there have been no tornados around here for years and were in "tornado ally". its now the "wannabe gangster that screws with every one state" they are both equally annoying however

[enjoiskater]

Yeah, I paintball. It's fun and I just went 2 days ago. I just have a Tippman. Nothing too fancy because I don't go enough.

[stronghold]

how many paintballs do you use in say one hour around..?

and how long does a game go for?

[pr0o boarder]

both depend. If you just shoot like crazy you'll prolly go right through your hopper in like a minute or two. And it depends how long a game lasts because some people might get out faster than others.

[pr0o boarder]

My gun has a semi-automatic option, a 3 round burst and a fully auto option. If you put it on auto you will go through your hopper in about 30 seconds. Maybe 40 seconds.

[stronghold]

ok well you said around 2000 for $50, then how many sessions on AVERAGE would you say that will last?

[pr0o boarder]

Oh. Well, lol it depends. If you fill up you pods and not use all of them or if you fill up all your pods and use them. But my cousin filled 3 pods and a hopper with 500 balls. So 2000 balls should last you about...a few weeks. Depends on when you go paintballing. If you go everyday then probably like not even a week. If you go twice a week, maybe 2-3 weeks.

[tryhard_skater]

yeh nathan, you see thats american money, and how often have you seen paintballing around melbourne?

[stronghold]

very often!!!!! lol i mean theres one every step you take:D hehe

nah well in melbourne theres only like 2 ranges.. so yeh.. i just checked up the prices


PAINT
Available on the field during the days play
100 rounds $25.00
200 rounds $40.00
1250 rounds $225
2500 rounds $425

THATS FROM http://www.pumpactionpaintball.com.au/page3.html
also the deal packages from there is still dam expensive:(

[glimmer14]

LOL proboarder got the super spider. I have an impulse is pretty nice, cost me 450$. I have a 4500 88cu n2 tank.

Most of the people I play with are too afraid so they will hide behind trees and stuff, but I have been hit so many times that I no longer fear it. The worst time was when I got shot in the neck and it looked like I had a hickey for about a week.

[pr0o boarder]

Haha^^. Yeah that happened to me. Right in the neck. I also got hit in the lower shoulder and that hurt like HELL. I still feel it even though i got hit a month or two ago. Its not that bad when you get hit but it depends where you get hit. If you get hit in the leg it doesnt hurt that much. But like your neck and shoulders hurt. It hurt more in the shoulder than in the neck. I probably got hit somewhere on my shoulder thats really sensitive because i was like crying. But when i got hit in the neck it was just like a little sting.

[.pie.]

New Jersey is OBSESSED with paintball.

Almost as much as lacrosse.

[pr0o boarder]

Yeah New Jersey has a lot of fields and shops.It awsome. I go to On Top Paintball in Somerset. Good Place. Not many things to hide behind. I usually go with my cousin me and his friend in his friends backyard because he has like so much property. We play in the woods, probably one of the best spots to play.

[It'sFae]

I seriously want to try it. When I have the money I will. There's this really cool "field" my cousin goes to so I'll probably join him and go one day. But I heard it hurts if you get hit with the non-jelly-pellets.

[pr0o boarder]

It doesnt really hurt. It depends where you get hit. But once you play for a while and kept getting hit. It doesnt hurt much at all.

[glimmer14]

Yea proboarder is right it doesnt hurt much unless your friends are A holes and crank up their velocitys it hurts. Thats why I like playing on fields where you have to be chroned, or indoor.

[stronghold]

do you guys wear padding?

[pr0o boarder]

As in elbow and knee pads? Yeah, I wear knee pads. Because when you slide you need to protect your knees because you usually slide head first because if you have a pod holder on your back you dont want to break the pods by sliding on your back. And Knee pads are also good because you can kneel and it wont hurt because theres like 485745745 paintballs on the ground. So pads are pretty important. And i wear a bunch of layers of clothes because you dont want it to hurt a lot.

[enjoiskater]

I don't wear any pads because I don't feel the need to. If I get hit then I get hit. End of story. But I can see why people would want them like the reasons pr0o boarder stated.

[pr0o boarder]

I dont really wear pads either. Only sometimes. Like when i just go to a place to fool around with my friends i dont wear them. But when im playing a game that actually counts...i wear them.

[Spyder]

Sounds fun. I should try it.

[tryhard_skater]

^yeh you should, you might like it althoug it might be hard since you know nothing about any guns...

i dont see the point. might as well just get some paint, put it in a water bomb and piff it at uncle jack

[enjoiskater]

Uncle Jack? Also that wouldn't be as fun as shooting someone with the paintballs.

[stronghold]

whats the speed of the paintballs you reckon? i mean over a long distance does the paintball in a pretty striaght line? or does it curve down??

[enjoiskater]

Well. It can go as fast as 400 feet per second. But most places I have been to is around, 260 to 300.

[glimmer14]

Everyone should try it, it is a huge adrenaline rush the first couple times you play. No one know what it is like to get hit so they are all scared the first time they play funny stuff. The paintballs can go pretty fast and hurt pretty bad sometimes.

[pr0o boarder]

It curves down and left and right and sometimes up. I set up some plywood in my backyard and shot at that and when i aimed about about the middle sometimes the ball would go down and hit near the bottom. And the speed depends on how much you turn up your velocity. Most places only allow 180 or 200.

[stronghold]

ok well that brings in more fun with the aim i reckon.. anyone wanna donate money to me for the um

i must play paintball soon association? and yes this is advertising:(

[pr0o boarder]

Oh you dont got any money? Well do some chores. My parents make me do chores and i have a lot of money...enough to buy like 3 more spyder e99 avants

I bet, it's probably like playing HALO 2 but "real life" LOL.

Its actually not that bad. ITS FUN! And the good thing is..if you paintball, no1 can call you a poseur:D.

[stronghold]

well i do chores and all that.. don't get much anyway.. too young to get a official job, australia is expensive in terms of paintballing, and yeah its just too much for me

[glimmer14]

If you have player laser tag at all it is similar, the only difference is it is 100 times cooler!!! Only problem is paintball attracts a lot of rednecks.

[pr0o boarder]

Laser tag? Thats kind of fun but not really. Its not as fun as paintball thats for sure.

[glimmer14]

I meant that paintball is 100 times cooler then laser tag, but they are similar.

[pr0o boarder]

Kinda similar. You actually shoot things out of the barrel of your gun in paintball. You can get hit with something and actually have it hurt. Its kinda similar.

Oh man i know what you mean, those gangsters are dangerous. They capped little Billy down the street with a BB GUN! Almost all of them have water pistols too, theyre so ghetto.

[pr0o boarder]

Water pistols? BB guns? Not very gangster if you ask me.

[Griptape Flip]

I got a Spider Imagine 04, With a VL Revolution, and the stock Barrel, With a PMI pure energy 20.oz Co2 Tank, With a JT 03 FLames jersey, and some JT destroyer Pants, a Paintball Mart Barrel Condom, And some JT cut finger gloves, And, Padding is for Sissy Babies, and Uber Noobers! Slide Pads, i dont mind em, But i don't use em. Ohh BTW i got an Angel Retaning pen for my Bolt **Victory Dance**! I am an Avid Pb'er, and i love it! Bunkered two people last game i played. It's All good ya know! It is nothing like Halo, Hehe, It is a great sport!

[pr0o boarder]

I was thinking about getting the imagine but then i decided not too because then i saw the spyder e99 avant. I have another question. I see these guys shooting paintballs really fast and they're gun is perfect. Well when i try to shoot fast like if i put it in 3 round burst or automatic the balls either blow up in the elbow or they get stuck in the elbow.

[Griptape Flip]

All you gotta do is set it to one shot, and set your trigger real far back, like just barley toutching the Fire button, and just walk the trigger, your index, and Middle finger, make them walk on your Double Trigger, and it should shoot pretty fast, Ohh BTW, Auto is not allowed in Tourny/Rec, Keep it up kiddo

[glimmer14]

I am out of paintball for now. I am just trying to sell my gun in order to buy some skate stuff. :) Only problem is I have to find out what is wrong with it.

Why is your gun messed up? Like what happens that makes it so messed up?

[el_whiteboy8888]

he may have dropped it in the sand. that happend to me once. i had to clean it for about 3 hours for it to work again.

[Griptape Flip]

Hmn, Is it not getting Co2? is it Jamming? Whats it doing, Bolt wont come back Maybe? or no O-Rings?

[pr0o boarder]

co2 is fine. its not really jamming. and the bolt will come back. Its like when i pull the trigger and then pull it again almost instantly, a ball gets stuck. I cant shoot fast like you see on the dvds and in real life.

No i never dropped it in the sand. One time a few weeks ago I put it in the snow a few times and it got all frozen like. But then it warmed up and it was fine..

[Dr. Dick]

I have this super old stingray with the shortest barrel you ever saw, literally like one inch from the gun but I am pretty good with it. Sometimes me and my frineds play during the summer and I used to play a little during the winter

[glimmer14]

well I found out what is wrong with it. The problem was that air wasnt going from my reg to the gun. Found out that it was because I was missing my spring guide pin. So I am just gonna order one from www.smartparts.com and see if that works, I hope it does. I need the money for rent and skate stuff. :)

[pr0o boarder]

Well i got the gun not too long ago (christmas) i dont think it could have lost something alreaddy.

[Griptape Flip]

I see whats the problem i think, your hopper is double loading, and the e99, is not really a fast gun....The Imagine is faster to tell the truth, Go to your local PB store/Field, and see if you can get it fixed! Best of luck to ya!

[pr0o boarder]

ok thanks. props to you^!

[sk8ter_37]

i have a red avenger from wally world ummm with a 200 count hopper and a 9oz umm thats all i pretty much know. but it just sits in my closet becasue thier is no one else to play with. :(

[Griptape Flip]

37. Go to your local fields...They well probably letcha play there**If ya got teh money**
