Who's up for a game of PAINTBALL!!!

[Sparky Bills]

+1

my brother and i were running on spyder MR1
james, the BIG guy i brought, was running a spyder sonix
those tippman guns for hire were probably so bloody useless due to being abused hire guns, but they had pretty short barrels and no excuse for all the blinding smoke!

my mask, which you may have noticed didn't fog up: Vforce Vantage


checkout www.paintballshop.co.nz too. they're out by the east tamaki campus, same road as the wind tunnel

Good markers those spyders. I have an original Spyder from way back.
But my main tourny marker is an Ego. My backup is an Eclipse Cocker which has been custom made by one of the only new zealanders to play pro ball overseas. He built it while working for Eclipse in the uk so as you can imagine its pretty hardcore.
I play speedball not bushball. But as with most speedballers, started off playing bushball.
The rental stuff has been thrashed and trashed with no respect, hense why they shoot like shit. Most people dont know the difference till they get their own gear. Then wonder why they waited so long to buy it.

yeah, really glad i did that the other way round. only played once before buying the gear, and that was down near tauranga which was cheaper than actions too!

hehe, i'm gonna go by what u guys have all suggested, and not organise a paintball till i manage t get myself a gun! and if that is the case, rather just do the thing at andrew's (but most ppl don't play paintball more than once or twice EVER) - pansy ass sods! haha. not their thing i suppose. give it a few months, and chances are i'll procure gear of my own. was flippen fogged up before i even got onto the field for the first play!! that stupid lecture, and it had to be done while goggled up! prickS! haha. killed my first half... next time!

am looking at these site u two posted. the stuff sell on trademe for a bit cheaper (sold by paintball shop themselves too!). will keep tabs on teh stuff and bid up when i can afford.

Helps if you dont put the goggles on your head untill your on the feild too. The heat off your head will make them sweat or fog.

Let me know if I can help in any way with your search for gear.

they really could've taken some more action shots.....

which dude were u again?

yea, these pics were a bit lacking. the real shit happened second half really. pitty. what a bunch of half arses, i'd expect more for the number of ppl we brough and the ridiculous amounts we had to pay, for the gear that was sorta half-arsed!... next time, with some gear of my own... perhaps!

man, second half was epic! that's prob when i absolutely couldn't give a shit about all the mud, and would roll around from bunker to bunker! good moments! "cover me, i wanna move to teh bunker on the right. i'm gonna roll" - and andrew says, "yea, k". (with such enthusiasm, it made me feel like we were in a real war!) - from there, i managed a magical cross field head shot! haha.. notce, emphasis on the word MAGICAL - it'll never be happening again!

hells yea!!!! haha. awesome fun, without question. must be good to be like rambo! haha, but he doesn't slide, he just stands and kills off billions of trillions of guerillas, that in reality probably wouldn't fit in that little space. (hermm...very strange indeed). can't wait to afford to go again! haha. (a good thing about all the smoke that the guns blew off, it was teh only thing u could notice through all teh fog in teh lens, so u had a general direction to shoot into!)

honest to bloody god! stop pansying up! there were 4 girls there (one who gave blood about an hour before teh game) that have more balls than u... enuf pissing about mate. next game, be there, of so help me god, i'll get andrew to do a ride-by, while i pillion, and shoot at u with a piantball gun! bare t-shirt! bloody hell... haha, like i said, all teh overalls were for, was to avoid the extra skin colouring, and minimise teh amount of mud on clothes i'd have to wash! bloody pansy! man up soldier! u're getting told off by a noob! (that sorta shit never sinks in well!)

[Zim_Invader]

now drop an give me 30!

well that would explain a bit


what part of giving a pint of blood before parktaking in a physical team sport (where running, balls and concentration are paramount) struck you guys as a good idea?

If they're on the other team it sounds like a great idea!
