3. Half of that was caps WHEN ITS NOT NEEDED

Reasons why not:
    1-10.- Money, money....etc...money.
but really, i used to play and loved it, unfortunatley had to quit because i spent a piss ton of money every week to play.  enjoy, though, you're lucky.

yeah paint ball is soo much fun! But man it's so expensive. CO2 is not too bad, but the price of the balls are pretty up there.

it's cool. i played like everyday last summer seeing as i had no other money priorities and it's pretty awesome when you get a good team of guys to play with in the woods. reminds you of some war shit. but i doubt i'll play this summer between needing ski shit, car, gas money etc...gotta give up some things i suppose.

exactly! 

the only problem, is last fall when i played last, it set me back 70$$ for the day,

but the look of utter astonishment when you have 4 guys dressed in camo spring out of the brush and then have 4 paint balls hit them all at once is a pretty cool feeling..

Always feels good to outsmart the other guys :P

I usually spend around $30-40 a day tops. Im conservative with paint because I can't afford to just spray and pray. If I pull the trigger, high chance your going down ;P

word I used to play a ton till my gun got stolen and I said fuck it and stopped playing. Now me and my friends just play airsoft cause it's wayyyyyyyy cheaper, like unimaginably cheaper, like in the last 3 years of playing airsoft I've spent less than one day of paintball cost me. and you can play airsoft pretty much wherever you want no driving hours to get to places. and shooting people with you airsoft gun when you aren't playing airsoft is fucking hilarious.

Airsoft isnt big up here...how do you know when you hit someone? In paintball its easy since the ball explodes paint on you but BB's just bounce off.

yeah, i've played both and you got to make sure you're enemy is honest.  you can barely feel airsoft guns, so sometimes they even won't know they are hit.  think its easy to cheat in paintball by just rubbing off the paint? 10X as easy in airsoft...i recommend paintball if you got the money.  unless you don't want to get hurt, play airsoft, as long as you all are a bunch of Honest Abes.

Woodsball is for noobs and fat people.  Speedball mainly airball is where it's at, but that shit is so pricey, back in the day when I was really into it I could drop up to 200 dollars a week just going to practice every day.  And tournaments are so damn expensive even if you're sponsored, it's just not worth it.

when i play airsoft, i only play in shorts, and no shirt...

you also have to play in a confined area, because those things dont have the best range...

i played once or twice, but i do not agree at all that it is the best off season sport. how about.....biking?

1. fun
2. inexpensive (only cost is bike + equipment)
3. gets your adrenaline pumping.
4. way way more scares to show to the ladies and friends.
5. keeps your legs in shape, and your mind sharp.

You reeeeeally dont wanna get me started on the woods ball/speedball debate. Speedball is a joke...

I've been banned from paintball websites for my opinions on this :P

well i have a 2005 bob long russian legion itimidator that i paid quite a bit of money for. im not sure if they even make them anymore. but its only been used 3 times. i bought it and then got really into skiing. the hopper works good but the little "knob" that unjams the hopper is broken off tho u can still use it. the tank is alright holds i think 1000 psi im not sure tho. it leaks air but takes a long time to leak all out usually like 2 days. i really need to get rid of it. i mean im not sure on a price tho. this thing is flawless. i will even throw in a sick NXe tank cover. pm me if u want pics.

I have the same gun.  Really nice gun and very easy to maintain.  The only problem is you have to take off the grip frame to change batteries which can be annoying.

yeah its mostly the honor system, but if you use like white bb's or a specific color that you can see, you can see pretty easily if it hits them and then you can call them out.  but another way is welts, and trust me, they will leave welts. 

as for range, my sniper has a range of 200-250 feet (acurately), it also breaks skin if you engage under 50 feet. and i've heard someone chipped a kids tooth with it at 40 feet.

my pistol is probably one of the most accurate guns i have ever shot, (besides a real gun), plus its full auto/semi auto, with a wood grip hahah so its fucking tits, i love it.

but yeah, if you never tried it out get a couple friends together and do it up, its cheap and fun as shit if you play like objective games and stuff.

if you are getting a first gun go with an AEG, research a little, the good starter ones cost around 100 bucks-130ish.  and then if you wanna go all out hit up higher end jap guns (tokyo mauri (sp), and classic army).

ive only paintballed twice, once at a real place, another at a friends house, and i had to say it was a fun experience.  kinda like war. i remember going up to the front line, gettin shot, then when i got back to base the ref kid was like "Keep your mask down"  i couldnt understand him so i lifted my mask 1 inch said what, and then he was like mask violaion, i was like wtf, i barely moved it.  so they took my rental gun for an hour.  after that i played speedball.  i was ok for a noob.

yeah the places are usually pretty strict with that rule and they should be. Its a huge safety rule. Sucks when you get called on it but its usually for your own good.
