Do you play paintball?

[Lil Red Nugget]

I have played twice and had a blast.

I picked "No, I do not play paintball but I would like to".

I have never had the money or opportunity to be frank but I would love to inflict pain on people (....don't worry thats a joke ). Have always been a tomboy so paintball is definately something that seems exciting to me.

I've played a few times and I enjoyed it. It hurts when the paintballs don't bust though. It left golfball size knots on me.

Those little paintball pellets hurt and leave welts and bruises.

Used to.

I have played a few times, kind of enjoyed it. I enjoyed the idea of it mainly. I dislike how the paintball markers(guns) are so hard to hit anything with. You are way better off to just "spray and pray" unless you invest in a really good paint marker. Even still they don't have the range of a real firearm. I view Paintball like playing "war" for grown ups, its fun but the paintball weapons make it more unrealistic in the fact that you have to be within like 30 meters to hit someone...

But its pretty fun just for the heck of it!

Fun city. I like paintballing with friends for the release it gives.

LOL That it does if you aim for skin. Cover up good.

No, I have no interest in paintball

I played once, it was kind of fun but also kind of expensive. Right now I have other priorities with my money and time.

I play paintball occasionally.. not very often due to the cost.

I have a tippmann 98 custom w/ a flatline barrel.. which was the biggest waste of money ever. When I use the flatline.. it's unable to shoot fast enough to break on people. I remember hitting a guy probably 10-15 times from 30-40 feet away.. nothing broke on him...
They have a good paintball place at this millitary base near where I live, so whenever I play.. I go there

I have the exact same setup, a Tippmann 98 Custom with a Flatline, and it is the best setup I could ask for. You might check your O-rings and all your connections. Did you get the gun new from the store, or from a second-hand dealer (like a private citizen)? That can make a difference if the gun was previously owned.

You might consider taking it to a paintball store airsmith and seeing if they can tweak the PSI for you; that makes a difference as well. I actually had to dial my pressure down because it was beyond legal limits (and it REALLY hurt when I shot myself with it).

Then again, it could just be a matter of different strokes for different folks, which is fine. Just thought I'd throw out my $0.02 in case you hadn't thought of something.

I bought the gun new from a store. They even replaced a spring, or w/e the part is, that determines what speed your gun is able to shoot at (and no, i don't mean the bolt that you twist to adjust it). I just gave up after that.. the new spring allowed my gun to shoot around 250-260 fps, but even that wasn't enough to break on people. I switched back to the stock barrel for a while, but now my brother is letting me use this really nice 14" barrel (j&j brand i think..). It's really nice, so i'll just stick with it for now

 

[RobertMerton]

just for fun

it's quite expensive here though,

$50 for 200 bullets. (includes gun hire, overalls and goggles hire)

My first post here - sorry if this is a bit necro.

I used to captain a tournament team and guest coached another for a while. I don't play these days because, basically, God has put me in a situation where I don't get to (completely worth it) but I'd still love to get back into the tournament scene one day.

Over on PBNation, which is just for paintball but happens to be the biggest sports forum in the world, we have a club called Christ Krew - a group of Christian paintballers.

We also have a facebook group

Meh I can't link. You'll just have to take my word for it, or google if you're interested.

I played before, and loved it. I found it too expensive to play frequently though, I think I may keep playing occasionally.

 

[SionDS]

I played before, and Ill tell you what, I was really good out of my (amateur)friends. I had an awful gun, and poor eyesight, but I was aggressive and fast.
