Paintballers?

[purple52-92-20pain]

What gun do you have and any other info about your paintballing. I have a spyder MR1 and I like woodsball, not speedball. I am great with squad tactics and I have above average aim.

no offense, cuz Im sure yur the shiznit and all, but everyone Ive ever talked to about paintball tells me they have "super awesome aim"

To be brutally honest I sucked at paintball when I did play. Im too big to hide in the woods so Id just go walking around the perimeter till I saw something move and then shoot shoot shoot till all my balls were gone or I got hit. I had some type of spyder, it was about $200 on eBay. This was about 8-9 years ago.

i used to play like a few years ago, but for me it got a little too expensive to keep up with, i had a tippman 98 custom.

my older brother on the other hand plays Semi-Pro and Travels the US to the NPPL (national professional paintball league) events in CA, TX, Chicago..... all over, fully sponsored and really excelling

plays for the team "Arsenal Kidz" though now they made some changes and he's moved on to the the Semi Pro Team, plays for the "arsenal" franchise and many people (inlcuding Pros like Nikki Cuba, Ryan Greenspan (however you spell his name) and JC whittington from Bad Company just to name a few) absolutely love watching himplay because they say "he's amazing to watch out there"

of course he plays Speedball and have used Ego's overthe past 3 seasons, but now the Team owner decided to drop Ego from sponsorship and go with Bob Long for a bit.... he plays the "snake" position and everyone crowds around him outside the netting (no matter where he's at) and wait to see what he does next.... "he's SO FAST!"


he makes sure i wear his previous Arsenal Kidz Jerseys to support him and to make sure i say their signature quote/saying

when they walk out onto the field and get in their huddle, i scream " A TOWN!" they all respond by screaming " Stay Down!!!!!"

its pretty intense to see first hand.

i sometimes play, i'm usually the decoy... partly cause i know how i can disappear in woods ball, my aim sucks so i can lay down cover fire if need be, one thing though i am fearless in it, i learned my lesson early .... first time i played i stayed stationary, at some point the repetitive hitting of the paintballs hitting the hiding spot startled the wasp nest.... stung me (i was like 10) stood up screamed like hell... than got lit up

Question: Is it natural for paintballs to bounce off? they never seem to break when they hit me.

Yeah i'll get hit like 7 times and nothing, no splatter.

[Raven07]

they're what you call "bouncers" and in any type of play, if they hit you and/or your marker/equipment and dont break, then your still in the game and very much alive.

now, are they YOUR paintballs or a fields balls?

i've had paintballs that do that they are usually bad quality, or old, more than likely old (oxygen evaporates something in them once they are open)

however i've nearly never had the problem with half decent balls that are new/unopened

[Raven07]

a good test to see if they're good or not, is you take one or two and just drop them from about chest high, and if they break on the first try, then they're good, if not then... they're bad. DONT Throw them on the ground... DROP them.

my brother had/is to play against Ollie Lang (the best pb player in the nation) yesterday and today, cuz Ollie is going to be on the team now and beat him at his own game, he said that Ollie's a very nice guy and knows his stuff, but he also realizes that he was outplayed by my brother haha.
