What is so bad about paintball?!?!?!?
Huh!!!!!
Alright-just to let you know I'm pist off right now so some of my views may change within a day but
How come everybody is bringing out the FEW BAD scenarios of paintball! I know there is worse ones in football-baseball-basketball-and all those other sports. It is just that they recignize those as "SPORTS".

ggggrrrrrrr

where do u see people doing this coffey?

[Jonno06]

I see people everywhere doing it

i see alot of people criticizing the sport of paintball as a whole.the "guns","shooting""and kills" arent good either.I think "markers",and"tags" would sound much better.

No they aren't. They are thugs and vandals and criminals.

If someone mugs someone with a baseball bat are they part of baseball?

If someone smashes you around the head with a golf club does that mean they legitimately play golf?

Of course it doesn't. These people are criminals and should be treated as such. It's opinions like that which still associate such low lifes with paintball that we need to stop.

Hate to say it.

OK. If you really want to change the image of paintball to be "less" war-like....change the paintball marker to look more like a flower...then you can toss them at your opponents on the field and they are "out" if they laugh their asses off.
Comeon! Jeez. Paintball is more popular than ever and if popularity spreads slowly so be it! There is a sense of people not wanting paintball to be associated with war. I guess they never should have made a marker look and operate like a "gun". There will be to much comprimise to achieve that. I own a Glock and an Automag. Going paintballing does not make me want to make me wish I had my Glock instead. Leave paintball for the mature and we will all be alright.

I say, stop saying how uninformed the general public is about the sport, and how they got/get/are getting the wrong impressions, and start educating them (not bashing them for feeling how they do because of the ONLY exposure they have had)

lets pool our money and buy a paintball tv station so we can educate people!

If someone hits you in the head with an axe.. does it mean they are a lumberjack?

If someone hits you with their car doing 90 does it mean they are a racecar driver?

If someone shoots you with a bow and arrow does it mean they are a bow hunter?

If someone bashes your head in with a torque wrench does it mean they are a mechanic?

If someone nails you in the groin with a impact wrench does it mean they are part of a NASCAR pit crew? (that was lame)

If someone flys a plane into your office building does it mean they are a pilot?

I'm sorry for taking it to that extent but thats what you are saying shart. Unless they play paintball on a regular basis like most of us... they aren't part of our sport.

Sorry to sound like a big stickler but what happened to having a thread subject that pertains to the thread topic? Obviously you have enough posts to know whats going on...

Im not being an arse or anything, Id call it constructive criticism.

The prices, they are disgusting and silly. Thats why i quit, im not guna keep paying that much money for a sport where the guns either break, or break balls. Each ball costs at LEAST 3 cents. Thats a booty load of money it used to cost me like 80 bucks a day. playing hopper ball. Id shoot a case a day playing hopper ball. Whats up with that? it costs so damned much, the refs suck, people cheat. Thats another thing, EVEN THE PROS CHEAT!. IT friggen a joke.
