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

[Squiggles]

and ive missed it

[klyong82]

So who got toasted? Pics please...

[motorbyclist]

good fun guys, if a little frustrating at times

actions will post up photos by about tuesday they reckon, so i'll save em and post them up here.

it's a shame me and zim were the only SMCers present, could've done with some more balls on my team - we still won one!

where the fuck were all you guys? got a txt from jafa at like 4pm.

but for now i think the numbers were on about 24 (if i say that andrew's recruited 3 ppl).

see u all there! rain or shine, we play!

sure it pissed down at 2pm but all cleared up by 2:20pm and was meeaaaan fun sliding in the mud

me and the four recruits got there at two, then waited "5 minutes" until zim got there in true SMC fashion with his four recruits at 3PM, we all then dicked around paying etc and we didn't get on the field till atleast 3:30pm. got too dark to play in the last game but good fun and i had run out of paint anyway




and for the record - i'd highly recommend buying/bringing your own gun - you get double the ammo and frankly, their guns are shite. after my one chopped paint (due to feeding it a broken paintball they supplied me with) and ran out of gas at the same time, i went with one of the hire ones and OMG ZERO accuracy with huge smoke cloud! welcom you can play at my place. $70 for 2000 balls (byo gear & paint)

I got a pocketrocket

[Ragingrob]

The pocketrocket gang is booming! Must be time for quad races

[PirateJafa]

I bought [Slyr's] one today, and am buying three more tomorrow.

[Real_Wolf]

I woulda come, but not really in SMC yet, and also my bike was getting checked over to see what sorta condition it was in, and fixed up a bit on the things that could be done

[Sparky Bills]

Anyne get any pics?

[motorbyclist]

I got a pocketrocket

I'm gonna teach my kid this!

[Zim_Invader]

hehe. in my defence, only 4 of the many others i managed to get to come, were late. (reason, sister - should explain itself, though she denies it all!)

was epic. haha, yea, andrew would be stuck many a time, up the middle of the field with no support on one side or the other. was ridiculus at one point, becos we'd get as far ahead as possible, and then get shot by some prick's crossfire! haha. was great fun. i agree though. rather invest in your own gear - overalls, and paintball kit (overalls save a lot of cloth washing!). good fun, but ridiculus when your goggles fog up so much that u can barely see past 5 meters in front of u, and the smoke after a shot made it impossible to follow a "tracer shot". punks! hehe. but was good.

got to a point where andrew's gun sounded like an automatic. really deep grunts, crackling away! haha. pitty though, becoz he was the marksman fr the first half.

haha. but to be honest, a few of teh others guys in the oppsite team were cheating. they'd get shot 2-4 times before cleaning up! punks, no wonder we kept getting mauled by the same guys! (this i learn after the game - "uh, yea, we'd get shot and wipe off the marks and just keep shooting back") - twats!

hehe, good fun tho. andrew, u got the number code to get the pics? lemme know f u need anything else. haha. also, thanks for comin, was good fun. and it added flavour to teh game! was good! as for u punks that passed the chance to play... shame on u! haha. u missed a good event! epic! mud slides up to 3 m easy (2 step run up)

Hey guys,
If your looking for some good gear, dont rush into a purchase.
There are many cheap and nasty markers out there.
For your first marker you cant go past a spyder. They have been around for yonks! Its what I started with over 6 years ago.. i still have it (not used anymore, but just sentimental) and it still goes!

Goggles are the same. Look for these brands...
JT Spectra Thermal, or Flex 8 are awsome!
Empire E-Vent (what I use)
Vforce Grille
Proto Axis
Just to name a few.

Check out this site..

If you want to order anything from there, ring the guy as he doesnt reply to emails too well.
If you have any questions im happy to help you out if I can.
In the end, if your going to get into it more, just remember that there are people who are very passionate about the sport and dont like others ruining the image of a paintballer. As in dont go round shooting road signs etc.
But hope you all love the sport as much as I do! ROCK ON!

got a nice bruise where i got nailed while reloading in the middle of the feild. run back to the base to "respawn" and see the whole farking team standing around doing nothing! different game they were all just sitting behind the first barrier 4 m from the base - i mean, if you get shot trying to move up from there it's not like they're going to lose much ground!

i agree though. rather invest in your own gear - overalls, and paintball kit (overalls save a lot of cloth washing!). good fun, but ridiculus when your goggles fog up so much that u can barely see past 5 meters in front of u, and the smoke after a shot made it impossible to follow a "tracer shot". punks! hehe. but was good.

yeah, the "smoke" from the hire guns was crazy. first shot i took blew the hopper lid open too (mustn't have closed it properly, and forgot the rubber band)

got to a point where andrew's gun sounded like an automatic. really deep grunts, crackling away! haha. pitty though, becoz he was the marksman fr the first half.

haha, that was me getting fucked off. ran right up the side of the field, flanking and pwning about 4 of your team. there was two of them with the flag, and didn't know where i was. they wouldn't call the tag so i just kept pummeling them till i was firing so fast i chopped balls and the gas ran out (that was the machine gun noise lol).

(while cleaning the gun i realised it may of been an issue of feeding half a broken shell, then half a full ball which got chopped in half by the closing bolt, dumping it's paint into the hopper and shell, well, everywhere)

+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
