Reballs - OUCH or eh?

[jade_monkey07]

It hurts a good deal. thats how i got into paintball was at Delerium! tiny little basement type place with black lights, horrid guns, and glowing reballs flying everywhere. It was heaven

They had 3 levels of play, beginner 190 fps intermediate 220fps and pro was 240fps

id rather be shot with a paintball anyday. a reball at 220 fps is like an unbroken paintball closerange at 280

They shouldn't use reballs but the foam practice balls, there is a huge diff.

absolutely agree
i dont have a problem w/ pain ( ask anyone who plays P/ball or spars w/ me)
this urban facility looks very awesome and its my kinda deal but,.........
this is my only concern
what do they think is going to happen when players are STEPPING / SLIPPING on the re-balls
all over the ground
now i dont know how anyone else plays ,but im not consantly going to be able to look @ the ground to watch where i walk and clear a building @ the same time

i would say they would almost have to use the foam ones and again before i get flamed
this is just my experience and honest opinion

Hey, that's where I started playing too! Yup, Delerium on Montreal rd. in Vanier, right?
Heh, the refs were dressed up as Darth Vader

What kind of markers were they using again?

LOL, I used to play there back in the late 90's... Man I feel old

[jade_monkey07]

Lol yup thats the one! i played there from 96-99 once or twice a year. and i dont remember the name of the guns. i just remember that the co2 tank was horizontal under the barrel and they broke all the time lmao!

Heh, I played there between 1995 & 1997. Met the staff in a Gatineau bar, of all places

Then my daughter was born in '97 and it was the end of tagball/painball for me for almost a decade o_O

hurts about the same as taking a bounce from someone shooting crappy paint.

Did start to tear up once while playing reball. Kept getting shot in the same spot for 4 games in a row, right above the goggles, on the hairline (hurts a bit normally...now get hit there repeaditly).

To be honest I've taken more painful shots with paint then I have with reballs. It's all just a gamble on where you're gunna get hit and how hard....no matter if it's a reball or paint.
