paintballer Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 You know what I don't get, When people buy these very expensive Bob Long's and PE's and stuff and then spray and pray for most the game, but then I come along with a highly upgraded Alpha Black, pop out ounce and get 1 to 2 people out. I can last 2-3 games on one hopper, and most of the time keep humping the pods for my friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheStig Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 I actually played yesterday for the first time in a year! I've been bitten by the paintball bug again, I definitely want to start playing more seriously now. Â I tried to really get in to it a few years ago, but I was just too young and not experienced enough to really dedicate much time in to it. Now I really want to that I'm a bit older and not so afraid of being hit! Â Part of me really wants an 09 rail or SLG, but there is an awesome sale on Invert Mini's going on right now that is very tempting. However Mini's are rumored to be very finicky so part of me wants me to spend the extra few bucks on a rail. I do really like the Mini though!! We'll see... Â Anyways, it was a birthday party I went to with like 32 people. It was really a blast getting to own everyone, haha. Nobody was really that good, so I just kept to the snake and picked people off one by one. It was nice not having to use a rental too! Â We then played 16 on 2 with two of the fields team players, and everyone got destroyed. I got grazed in the hopper, but was out. They were really good. Â Anywho, here are pictures! Hopefully you can see them. Â After game 1. Â Getting ready for 16 vs. 2! Â I'm out. Notice the gravity fed hopper. NEVER buy an Evo hopper! It puts all of its weight on the feed neck and WILL snap! That happened to me, so I had to go back to shake and shoot! Â I don't really like aztec's too much, so I usually play the snake. This is one of the times I played backman and I ended up just saying "screw it" and moved in to the snake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trustkill22 Posted February 8, 2009 Author Share Posted February 8, 2009 ^ About the EVO's, I have heard that happen to a lot of people. Â At least you had a gravity hopper. I remember one time going to field and my eggy decided to stop working so I had to pull off the classic shake and shoot. Â And 16 on 2 sounds like it would be awesome.

paintballer Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I wish they had pro teams for woodsball. That would be something I'd apply myself to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speeddeamon128 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 ^Woods paintball is the way to go! You can hide behind trees & in holes & basically make a bunker out of anything. I play in my friends backyard all the time also my grandfather owns a mountain in upstate NY & we play there once in awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheStig Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 ^^Awesome! When your green machine rolls into town, we'll definitely have to go play some paintball! Â Definitely dude! I want to try your PMR! I really want one, but they are getting a little expensive. However they are supposed to be highly improved compared to last years. Still, $500 for a DM-Lite sounds good to me! Â Now thats a game, Speedball with Bt-4's and 98c's . Â Haha, yeah it was a ton of fun though! You really had to use a lot of skill as opposed to relying on the speed of your gun. It was actually just as fun as playing speedball with better guns! Â And the BT4 sucks ass.

Jew Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 ^Yeah, the PMR took the place of the Matrix series. In the past, whenever a new dye DM gun came out, there was a PM of the same number. Now with the SLG as the low end gun, they upgraded the PMR to fill in the gap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jew Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Bumping this thread... Â If anyone in So Cal around SFMM is looking for a game on Sunday (April 5), shoot me a PM. Might be putting something together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the ghost Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Ahh, I so wish I could go again, but I Suck! So there is no real point in buying a gun. Joey, what is your favorite local paintball place? I have only been to Camp Penelton(sp) and Jungle Island, and greatly preferred Jungle Island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jew Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 ^I never travel that far. Â Us people in the greater L.A. area have California Paintball Park (lots of fields, but if you rent, you have to buy their overpriced field paint), Warped Paintball Park (my personal favorite), and Field of Fire (closest one--the one you see driving to SFMM). Â Opening soon is Conquest and Action Paintball Park, both off the 14. I'm excited for those. They're both run by good people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socalMAN123 Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Joey maybe sometime you should drive out to SC Village in Riverside. It would totally be worth the drive for you, it is a fantastic place to play. Just a suggestion. ---Brent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paintballer Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Got myself an Invert Mini and Dye Rotor! Sure to be rippin' up the speedball fields soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jew Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Every field has different rules depending on what their insurance will allow! I've seen as low as 10, or some fields as high as 14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yankee cannonball Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Okay I have another question. This is gonna sound stupid, but seriously, how much does a paintball hurt? Because I might be playing speedball in the next month. All I've heard is "It stings" and that doesn't really answer any questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you get it in the head, that hurts bad, gives ya a headache, but don't let that unenthusiase you into playing, it's fun! t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trcg721 Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 You guys should start a Theme Park Review paintball team. I'm planning to go to Action Paintball Park next Saturday. The worst pain I ever had in paintball was getting hit in the same spot on top of the head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paintballer Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 ^ Ouch...Once this guy bunkered me and sprayed me for like 5 seconds, he got kicked outta the park because I'm friends with the refs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
