What makes paintball fun for you.

[Evil Emperor]

Just something to talk about.

What makes paintball fun for me is:
1: Fixing markers/Helping the newbies with there gear.
2: Working as a team.
3: Debating the pros and cons of markers ect.
4: A pumping bunker move.
5: AO

If you think is thread is stupid...dont reply.

Lighting up little fat kids with rentals is so wrong yet so satisfying. That would be my reason. Yes moo I am a sadistic bovine.

[FooTemps]

Paintball is fun because...

My list:
1. You can tinker w/ toys that younger kids can't tinker with
2. You get a really big rush out of playing.
3. You can amaze people w/ how long you can stay alive in the open with no paint dodging a barrage of paint coming at you
4. You can make people laugh by making silly bunker moves and getting lit up
5. You can have a good time
6. Did I mention paintball guns just look damn cool? lol

[Ultimator]

My answer would be all of those.

[Cliffio]

pretty much shooting people

[SqueegeeKid]

Same here. All the above make it fun for me. Especially Cow's :D

I love breaking out the PGP and having pump battles with my friends (who all own pumps or PT's). That usually makes for some VERY interesting battles. You do funnier, stupider things when you're not going to get a few dozen welts after it.

[xtreme paintball]

A new way to fire projectiles at human beings without fearing the possibility of incarciration, law suits, or a plain 'ol @$$ kick'n. )-;==;--

[InfinatyBPS]

-Its fun getting to tell people my hobby is shooting people
-I like to look at my autococker all day(im looking at it right now :).... seriously)
-SHOOTING PEOPLE!!!! What other sport gives you that :D

[Jonneh]

Getting really hurt, then whining about it on field when someone wants you to move

also, 1 on 1s, nothing is more fun than moving every 30 seconds and watching the other dude shoot hell out of your old bunker, it makes me all tingly!

[lunchbox]

shooting skinnies time and time again after they say im going to shoot the fatman with the huge barrel. then laughing as they say dude your on my team now we love fatman in the back with the reachout n touch someone set up gun

[land hurricane]

1. the rush
2. doing something where everyone is excepted (Age wise)
3. shooting my brother
4. might seem strange but just holding your gun

[Clare]

team work, the rush, learning new things all the time, meeting people, and most importantly: shooting people! it's fun! :D

[kevdupuis]

1 Definatly the rush
2 All the toys you get to drool over.
3 Travelling all over to play
4 Everyone you meet
5 Makes a great workout
6 Playing with/ working on the markers
7 Legally being able to shoot people and then talking about it at work. They think I'm psycho.

[einhander619]

1. The rush, naturally!
2. Using a piece of gear that looks like it's straight outta half life! And scares n00bs!
3. Playing with all your friends and making new ones.
4. NOT having to work on your gear, but fix other people's instead!
5. Making a killer move not because of luck or because of your gun, but because your a better player than the other guy.

[CRiZO]

taking off like a bat outta hell.

[V-Viper]

walking to the deadbox































and laughing at everyone

[Mag Master 04]

hahahaha, gotta love this game

[Eagle]

the thrill of the hunt

[RT_Luver]

things that make paintball fun for me:

1) working on guns and amrveling at the beauty that is the mag

2)helping ppl and sharing what knowledge I have and hoping it will pass on

3)the exlerating breakout of the first game of the day and having fun with your friends(isn't that what its all about:cool: )

4)having something mess up and acting like you know what your doing and try to fix it but have NO idea of whats wrong and fixing it the first try with luck

[845]

#4 Mad rush of bunkering someone. Especially when the squeal :D or screech.

[FreshmanBob]

hmmmm I'd have to say..

1. The challenge
2. The rush
3. The ability to just walk up to anyone and start a conversation with "Hey, how do you like that (insert paintball related word)?"
4. Telling stories about old games or recent ones or anything
5. Making new friends :)

[paintbattler]

its the only sport u can shoot other people in

[Mike72]

Well until yesterday I would have to of said shooting people and not going to jail. But yesterday when I played I had more fun than I have ever had. Why I don't know but I ended up with 6 10-14 year old newbies not that I am experienced or anything, following me around. It made the games I played more fun than any times in the past. By the last game I played they were like little commandoes with me as there leader. It was great to see there faces and talking to them between games... and see how much fun they were having as the day went on. At first I don't think they were having much fun but by the end game that I played in they were all laughing and talking about next time. Just my 2 cents.

Mike

[Micewheelz72]

1. the rush
2. the fun
3. the wide range of toys to tinker with
4. meeting people who have the same interests as me
5. its relaxing
6. its one of the few things that all of my freinds do (all 5 of em..lol)
7. I love pulling out the phantom and seeing the look on peoples faces when they realized that they've been gogged by "That loser with the pump"... thats great.

[shadowspar]

<p>Second best: Sliding into a bunker just as the paint starts to slam into the front of it. Too slow, my friend, too slow. :)
<p>Absolute best: I <strong>love</strong> sneaking up on people! When I'm tiptoeing up behind somebody, or creeping into a flanking bunker, the anticipation drives me up the wall -- I have a hard time resisting the urge to giggle. It's practically a letdown when I eliminate whoever I'm sneaking up on -- it seems somehow anticlimactic. :D

<p>(Btw, Micewheelz72, I hope someday to be the player coming off of the semi field with a phantom and clean cammies. :D )

These are by far the most interesting reasons...

I mean really - how many times have you been playing that one last game and just run out of paint. So you figure, well I might as well just stay in, so you run around like a madman and draw people's fire, yet miraculously don't seem to get hit. It's hillarious.

As for #4, you can usually combine that with #3.

[Python14]

Me?

I like....

-The adrenaline rush from huffing it to the fifty and beyond
-Walking into the ProShop, and knowing more than the techs
-Knowing there is something that I can do that none of my friends can
-Having an ego for once
-Helping noobs with their stuff, and getting a smile from them.
-showing off, and not making a fool of myself when I get shot.
-finally being really good at something.
-showing off my new DYE Pants at school, and starting a fad for once.
