ah the memories

[Thotograph]

First game... ahh takes me back over a decade (wow it's been that long)... was a swat & convict type of scenario that they ran at the field I played back then (Orlando Paintball when it was a good spot, now... ew). Anyways, I was Swat. Had a tippmann prolite, purple rounds in the hopper, and not a clue what I was doing. I was so nervous I shot my own teamate

Got into the groove more and more as the day went on, the indoor setup was a bit daunting at first.... but I found myself diggin the outdoor games alot. Got a few eliminations... picked off one guy from range Came home begging whicever of my 'rents that would listen to get me a gun, or marker rather as I'd learned that day, industry jargon... A powerfeed 68 Automag was under the tree a month later (my first time I went with some friends for my b-day, which is in Nov). Been in love with the sport ever since. Was without a gun for a good chunk of highschool when I sold my gun to fund a guitar and amp purchase (regretted doing that ever since). I'd give anything to have my first mag back, but I've since been able to pick up the gun of my dreams from back then, the original rt. Ahh the memories... great idea for a thread snoop.

Thanks, and yeah, i bought a guitar that i'm now regretting, as the band that was supposed to be never was, so i wasted about 300 bucks cause i never use it.

Anyway, my dream gun was just a 68 Automag, since that's what i grew up seeing at automagsam's house cause his dad has an old AIR valved mag, if i had known how good the RT was i would've picked up a classic one sooner, but i probably wouldn't have found one that i love as much as the one i have it's it near immaculate condition. Man, i really wish i had money to play now.

Back in my day, we didn't even have paint! We used balls made of wood. And ..and we didn't have constant air, by golly we used goat stomachs that we inflated with a bicycle pump we borrowed from the field, only the really rich AGG kids had their own bicycle pump their Mommy bought for them.

And...and we played uphill in the snow, both ways!!

you gotta watch out...one second you think an species is extinct...and the next minute one of said species is raping you in your back yard...its a D*mn shame

Its amazing to think the first time I played was 8 yeas ago in a woodsball course hiding in the back of a old pickup truck in the back with a tippman pump. Then I think of the countless bunkering, fights, and bonus-balling and the speedball field. Amazing

the thread on bunkering on PBN in the paintball talk is why kids, without any common sense should not play paintball.

I was...lets see...it was in 7th grade at the age of 12, and I'm a Freshman in college now at 19...so I've been playing for 7 years. First played with an ACI Maverick in my buddies back yard. Bought a Spyder E-99 after that, and my mom took my friend and I to a paintball field to play, him and I loved it so much, we decided to try to go a bit farther in the sport. I'm 19 now and my buddy is 17, a senior in HS. We are the captains of our team and play whenever we can, and whenever money allows.

Ive been playing on and off since 86 my first gun was a devastator pump which was a modified nelspot 007 fun times back then ... I was 22 at the time. Dang Im getting old, off to take my Geritol

Wait up, I'll take some too. Some time around there I took a shot on the top my head while kneeling in a bunker and fiddling with a rental nel-spot.

There began the collection of personal equipment.

That's nuthin. We used old pig feet jars for head protection and wore the tops of sole-less combat boots for shoes. Our field was a mile long by a quarter of a mile wide. Uphill. Both ways.

Put that on your hoodie.
