First of all, the constant running at a low crouch and getting up and down over and over again in that gear was exhausting. I was out of breath fast.

Secondly, I could barely follow like 5% of what was happening at any time. Whenever I got shot there was not a lot I could have done differently to prevent it.

Finally, there was one moment when I was protecting a base and before I even knew what happened the enemy was on top of us. They had snuck behind a tree and the other person in the base hadn't seen them in time. So the guy rushes straight up to me and before I could even move my gun he unloaded his balls all over my face. I ate 3 in the mouth from no more than 3 feet away.

It was fun and everything but I couldn't help thinking how fucking horrible it would be if it was real because there's no heroism in any of that. You're just a shitty meatbag about 5 seconds away from someone outsmarting you and ending it all.

The other thing it made me appreciate is that I suck at paintballing and I'm out of shape

Yeah, paintballs have a really unpleasant flavour. Slightly sweet and acidic, the texture is a bit sticky. He just blasted them all across my mouth while calling me his bitch


wait what

The guy is a douche. If you're playing woodsball for fun, you shouldn't be bunkering let alone from that close to the face. Tournament speedball is one thing but not in rec woodsball...

I was actually pleasantly surprised how good I was a paintball the few times I've played. But yes, I have gotten hit at least once each time so I would be dead too. I suppose there's something to be said for taking down seven or eight enemies with me but at the end of the day, dead is dead.

I'm not kidding about the 7-8 K/D ratio, btw. I surprised myself for sure. I just don't know why I'm bad at shooter vidja.

I know its usually not helpful for my team, but I always love going Rambo style and just out in the open blasting people. Its actually worked pretty well before. I try not to do that on objective based games though because I'll be out and have to wait

Speaking of injuries the worst one I got was when two teams of about 12 people each were on opposite sides of a field. No obstacles, just a quick deathmatch. When the match started I swear I could see a paintball come at me from all the way across the field. It felt like slow motion because I could see it arc down and it managed to hit me on the tip of my penis (was wearing gym shorts and no cup). That pain....dear god

This, any place I have played at the rule is to call for surrender before you stick your marker in their face and fire.

I had a lot of fun with paintball and airsoft but I'm trash at it too. I'm good at flanking and coordinating but my aim is terrible so I'm of no value on the field unless I can sneak up on someone and get time to aim.


My first time playing paintball, my trash friend came around the corner with his hand and gun raised so I didn't shoot him. Then he lowered his gun and unloaded at point blank. Boy that was lame... it was even lamer when, after he stopped, I turned to leave and then he fired again at my back point blank. I was pretty angry about that...

Same. Only time we could bunker is in tournaments (I played a lot, my team practiced with the Edmonton Impact before they went pro). It's so satisfying to put 4 into the back of a dudes neck at point blank as you run down the tape and bunker him. I always give the chance to surrender in rec games though.

Were you wearing a mask? The first time I went paintballing the balls when through my mask and I was tasting fish oil for hours. Split a lip

i still paintball maybe once every year or two but was huge into it from like 16-22. Biggest thing I can suggest is figure out what cover is and always have cover.
