RE: Any of you play paintball?
i used to go to santaclara paintball field twice a month with one of my buddies, or just by myself. i got pretty good ( not that eveyrone doesnt say that), but really i would ussally be on the winning team or that last guy on my team left alive. i have a 05 prostock cocker with, cp barrel, drop forward, empire reloader b hopper, i run it on a 88ci tank, and my back up gun is a tippy, that damn thing is awsome. never fails me... ( and when i mean back up i dont mean i carry both guns on the field at the same time, that would be just stupid).

Lol, so you are saying that your son played for Trauma, and now for the Russian Legion?
Mind dropping a name?...lol I may "know" a paintball (semi)celebrity....
I have played woods, speedball, renegade, whatever...owned more markers than I care to think about. I am lucky in that I am able to play such a diverse assortment of games in different locales.

I did like to Play paintball often.We usually end up playing capture the flag, infiltration of an enemy base or elimination. We start a mile or two apart with wooded areas, ditches, a few creeks and cliffs between the two teams. We set boundaries and go at it.
If we really get a good match going (with the larger groups, usually 10-12 people per team). We usually have an ATV per team (depending on who shows up to play) and maybe a dirt bike or two (again, depending on who shows up to the match). Matches with vehicles usually means we increase the distance between bases, teams or flags by another mile or two.
What about getting shot? Well, we found out early on that when you have 1 hit kills, it gets boring, because the matches can last a while, and sitting out sucks. So, we tally everything by hit points. A dedicated person on the team keeps score of that teams kills. If a person shot another team's person, that guy would call it into "Grey-Hound" (code name for the guy keeping score on my team........you can kind of guess what mine is.) And he logs it in a notebook during the match. The person that was shot needs to remain laying down for 2 minutes face-down to allow the shooter to make a clean getaway.
Once, we decided to play a night game (full moon during the summer). We equipped our guns with lasers and each team has 1 set of night vision goggles. (if a certain person showed up with them of course.) The person with the goggles is ONLY allowed as a spotter for each team and doesn't get a gun. They are only allowed to radio-in a target's location to the rest of the team. We usually play on a much smaller field in the night games (maybe a quarter mile to a half mile apart at maximum) and keep the boundaries tight incase someone gets hurt or lost.
