    you gotta eiter hold it like your about to shoot, or turn on the safety when you run so you don't shoot your self or your team

      No..but you might shoot yourself in the foot if you're not careful. It's pointing down.

          Well I have one. But that depends. If you lower your arm down to where it is at a 90* angle from your shoulder it would be upside down, but when your arms extended straight out it would be pointing down. Depends how fast you're running and stuff. So I guess if you're sprinting and swinging your arms then it would be upside down about half the time.

            I flip the safety on and hold it by the foregrip. I cradle it in my arm so that the back of the grip is firm against by bisep. The tankunder my arm and my hand on the foregrip. So my left hand is free and my right hand is cradling the gun as I run. The body rail may dig into your arm but I sanded it down so it's all good. It gets easier to run with over time, but a light air tank makes it so much easier


            Taking mags apart is fun, its even more fun when you don't know what you're doing

              Well since I have never in my paintball life, shot from the hip I don't think the Z-Grips shape is a problem. You should generally move with your gun in a firing position anyway - and if you aren't, who care where it is pointing?

                Dang I never thought about how I'd run with a Z in my hand.

                    ...and here is same overweight PFB sliding into 50 yard line tape bunker, the size of an icechest in front of crowd in finals game. Although I am slow, the other PFBs managed to throw enough paint to scare anyone off me.
