i used to play all the time, but it ended up being way too expensive. you blow like 40 bucks every time you go to play.

Wow, your first time?

It's definitely sick, but point-blank hurts for sure. It pissed me off so much when a guy shot me point blank 5 times. Hurt like a bitch.

Paintballing is dope

IF anyone wants a paintball gun, ive got a Tippmann 98 Custom, never used in a real game, just shot off my deck at birds and squirrels and stuff. And an extra 20 Oz. Co2 tank for like 115 + shipping. Sorry to jack the thread but I figured someone might want to buy a gun.

haha i like how the guy above me says ... "i like playing stealth" but anyway i play all the time almost every weekend in the summer and its mad money but so worth it. and u get used to shots when up play a lot i dont even feel them that much anymore unless its a head or neck shot. but point blank does hurt a little bit

same here, especially once I bought a speedball gun and became capable of wasting an entire case of paint in one day.

paintball is a lot of fun. i played it from freshman year until junior year every weekend during the spring and fall. the only down side is it coasts a lot of money. if anyone wants to buy my gun i will sell it for mad cheap. its a spyder xtra with a SHITLOAD

paintball is so damn expensive. i played a ton until i realized it was consuming all of my money. skiing is expensive but you dont have to throw down dough each time. guns can be just as expensive as skis and gear. paint can be more expensive than season passes if you shoot a lot, like playing in tourneys and stuff. and i like skiing more.

i dont understand how you guys are saying it hurts. yeah maybe if you get shot in the neck or ear. but i stopped noticing and sometimes i wouldnt even know i was hit. you get used to it. and in speedball when your sprinting with all that adrenaline....that makes it hurt less. there are certain places that hurt though. the thigh i remember kind of sucks.

ya it doesn't hurt too bad.

I used to be sponsored by my local field, we had practice twice a week and it was all on indoor airball field with turf.  It was sooo sick, and we got free paint on practice days.

my friend is pretty damn good and plays in one of the major paintball leagues (i forget the name because i stopped playing a while ago). he has/ has had a DM6, 2 egos, a nice cocker, a sweet shocker, DM4 and a few other older guns like the original matrix and stuff.

i still have a shocker, i like it but i hahvent shot it in a while.

I'm going in a couple weeks, should be fun. I went in like 5th grade or something and I remember having a  blast. It just sucked when I got hit in the back of my head at point black by my own teammate...

I went paint balling today for the second time, only to remember that I am way too passive to even try to succeed at that game.
