"Old School" Paintball article, scanned on Doc's Site

[Tyger]

This MIGHT be just as bad as "Slash-dotting" or "Farqing" someone's site, but I figured there's enough old-school players lurking about.

1987 Annual of "American Handgunner" Magazine, and what they thought of paintball at the time.

So cue up your tape of "Iron Eagle", zip on a Kenny Loggins tape, and enjoy.

I've already been "Slashdotted" when they found my bowling-ball mortar page. Couple of days hovered around the quarter-million hits-per-day range.

My servers never even started breathing hard. I got some fat pipes and big discs.

Articles are posted to be read, go read 'em.

Doc.

That article was written the year I was born...

And what is this mortar bowling ball page you speak of :) ?

"You can expect to receive one gun, several tubes of paintballs, a couple of CO2 cartridges, a set of goggles and sometimes a face-mask"

Gotta love it.
That plus the only rules were "If you're hit, you're out" and "Head-shots are discouraged".

I miss the good ol' days.

I like the part
