I was watching Law & Order SVU last night on NBC, and when the commercial break came on, I pretty much stopped paying attention...until I saw something out of the corner of my eye that looked like a hopper.
I looked at the TV and, sure enough, there were two guys crawling on their bellies holding what appeared to be vertical feed E-Spyders. The one on the right had a Ricochet hopper, and the one on the left had either a VL-200 or a Revolution...couldn't tell from the front. Anyway, these two guys are talking and they crawl up behind a log in the middle of a field.
Both are wearing face masks (YAY! Finally :) ) and are doing the usual discussion where one bought the Toyota product and the guy that bought the Kia tells him he got a 10 year warranty...etc, etc. When the guy on the right tells the guy on the left about the warranty, he pokes his head up and says, "What?!? I didn't get a 10 year warranty with my Toyota!" and then gets shot about 5 times from unseen opponents. He was wearing what looked like an ancient Stalker mask (only came down to just below his nose) and the other guy had on a Scott (I think?) mask. The stalkers weren't the safest things, but its still a vast improvement from what you usually see. Overall I was very pleased with the way paintball was portrayed, although it still didn't make me want to buy their cheap Korean cars :D
*edit* Changed the case of "KIA" in the title so it doesn't look like "killed in action". BTW, anyone else see this commercial?
