When you're out of air and you just do it!!!

[cougar20th]

It really depends on the game if I stay in after a gun malfunction.

Speedball - Always stay in, Until your hit your still a asset to your team

Woods/Rec - Depends on the game and if me staying will be a asset or not.

I remember the 2nd? Reaperball game. We were at OSG on the BYOP day. Teams were 50? vs 50? on a village field that would usually be a 15 on 15. I was using the E90 prototype at the time. Ran out of air very early on. Im the only one on the side of the field?? WTH everyone else when to the right or center. What to do. The ref watched me put the gun down out of the way and proceed to just make sure the other team knew I was there. Stuck my head out. Get shot at. Repeat many many times. They wasted a huge amount of paint. Especially because me being there bottle-necked 15 players. Ref was just watching in disbelief. Once someone did finally get that group organized I did call myself out. Several of those players were pissed when they watched me go back to get my gun. So I was a asset to the team even without the use of my gun. I kept the focus of alot of player on me while my teammates took care of the others and eventually won the game. I believe if I hadn't been there those players I held there would have come down that side and shot out alot of my team.

And it can be fun watching ropes of paint run overhead, knowing the 20th shot wasn't any better than the first. It's like a duty to stay on the field and educate and abuse the people that think they are going to "lane" you and your bunker while you keep them occupied.

Do it all the time during scenario play....

I captured another flag sans working gun last weekend.

We were playing a game on a rec ball course that was twice as wide as it was deep with the flag in center field. I worked my way around the left side until I was inside the enemy's home bunker taking out mofos from behind. That's when it happened... my elbow slipped off my mag's power feed, causing my Rotor to hit the ground and break paint inside, jamming up the Rotor for the duration of the game. Perfect shooting position with a dead hopper. Of course! I suppose I could've hand fed individual paintballs into my mag, but there was only a couple minutes left in the game and a considerable fire fight going on around the flag back up the field. I set down my gear, doffed my pod belt and snuck my way over to the action. The flag was in a sort of no man's land with my team mates on one side exchanging fire with opposing players on the other. This is the type of situation where the thought, "f**k it", comes in handy. After yelling for my stationary comrades to cover me, I hopped over our bunker, grabbed the flag and managed to sprint all the way back to the enemy home base for the win.

Play of the day, me thinks.

Ibuprofen? Not sure if I follow. Sounds like you might be thinking I'm older than I really am.

My mistake....

No worries. My days with a bad back and worse knees will come soon enough.
