IN YOUR FACE pb movie- something you should realize before you see this

[FalconGuy016]

people who shoot themselves in the heads in their house usually are playing with the gun and are pulling the trigger at himself or a friend that happens to be there (usually the one who gets shot)

Also, I was talking about MY common sense, I know what that thing can do and im smart about it, but not overly safe about it (overly to ME, its not considered overly anymore when other peopel are there and when accidents can happen) because I know what it can do im not stupid. When there are other people around though, you need to be safe because you dont know what they can do.

I don't think Tramp was talking about suicide. He's making a point. Many people have killed themselves accidently by putting a gun or pointing a gun at their head thinking it wasn't loaded and pulled the trigger only to find out it was loaded. It's a pretty simple fact, never keep a loaded gun or paintball gun laying around. Accidents happen because people are stupid. The best way to be safe is to never keep a gun or paintball gun loaded until you're ready to fire it. Never put your finger on the trigger until you're ready to fire. Always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction. If you break all three of these rules, it usually ends up with yourself or someone else being shot. Don't break any of these rules and we'll all be safe.

Also, people who think they're safe can and do get complacent because they so use to being around guns. It's usually then when an accident happens because they forget what they're doing and stop paying attention to safety. There is many a long time owner out there who's fired a weapon accidently because they forgot to pay attention.

The fact is, paintball guns ARE dangerous.

It's not about injuries, its the fact that these things shoot gelatin capsules at over 200 mph. They can kill, they can injure.

What a bad attempt at a movie.

Yea, well in reply to these messages, I set a reply for all the conditions I take with my gun/s.
1. When uneducated guests come I always put my gun in the closet.
2. I think I use the 'safety' more than anyone I know.. when I finish playing a game, as soon as I get hit, I automatically switch it on. Quite a nice habit if you ask me.
3. Whenever I am out shooting trees I always use the safety as well, uncounciousally, if I am not going to be shooting, its on. I do not however wear my mask at this time.
4. When handleing the gun inside, I am ALWAYs sure the gun is on safety. If it isnt, well then it shouldnt be gassed up.
5. Whenever I'm dryfiring, the gun is pointed to the ground, and I have made sure no paint remains in the breech.
6. Whenever friends are over, and we are shooting, everyone stays atleast 5 feet backwards from the shooter, however I dont have an abundance of masks so we try to trust that the shooter isnt going to whip around, flip out, and shoot the bystander 100 times in the head..
7. I try not to point my marker/s at people..
8. I dont use barrel condoms/plugs all that much in my house. However, on guns that might not have a safety, barrel condoms are always on and no contact with the trigger is made until the holder is ready to fire.
9. I kind of agree with brak on this shooting in the eye issue.. you have to be a real dumbass to point a gun at your eye that is gassed up and loaded, cocked, safety is off, ect.. Though, keep in mind that ricochets do happen, the guy who works at my favorate pro shop (very friendly guy) had a ball ricochet and hit him in the eye while he was working on a gun. I dont know the details on what happened, but he is never letting a gun in without a barrel blocking device again. His eye is messed up now and I dont think he can see very well out of it.

Trust me, I'm not that stupid when it comes to safety..
IMO its ok to leave guns laying around gassed up and loaded, as long as the right precautions are taken.
The youngest person in my family is 11, and though I think he is stupid, he is smart enough not to play around with a loaded paintball gun (he actually owns my old tippmann).

Hopper, air system barrel. No plug...

Anyway, to get back to the movie....

I have a copy, and just finished watching it (picked it up at the Pan Am).

The only "actor" that came across as natural....is Tom...well, and the two real Dynasty guys that couldn't get picked up by any team! (The only cute part in the whole thing)

Umm..it was a chore to watch, but discipline won out over common sense, and I sat through the whole tape. Remember the trailers we all watched and laughed at a few months ago? The ones shot on video tape? The ones we were sure were only concept scenes, since they were acted so bad? Guess what? That IS the movie. It is all shot in video method. Yes, the dive behind the hay-bale is there. Yes, the "ninja" roll into the stand-up is really there.

And most sadly, there is an enormous amount of un-needed cursive language in it, including the "younger brother", who seems to be about 10 years old or less.

The story is your a-typical good guy/bad guy genre', but does it rather badly. The whole time I was thinking about the silly movies we made in high school on 8mm film. They were bad then, and this is bad now. If you really have to have it, then go ahead and buy it. Otherwise, just watch it at your local store and save your money for paint.

Remind me never to stand near Brak...

Although it might be worth it to see the kid sterilized.

Anyways I have no interest in paying to watch other people play paintball, so with Army's review I now have 2 reasons not to spend money. Yay.

Bummer...oh well, off to buy some more Traumahead videos.

[Rooster]

Nice to see the barrel plug/goggle Nazis are at it again. Why don't you just get yourself a secret police force together and grab these henious offenders of paintball law during the night and hual them off to be indoctrinated. Give me a freeking break. Find something better to do with your time other than "OMG! no barrel plug in this movie/TV show/artical! Burn them at the stake!"

I think its also important to realize that so many people are irresponsible or just plain stupid (ignorance is not a valid excuse at any fields I play at) that the fear of no protection is a legitimate one. I've stood next to kids who have accidently fired their markers indoors while moving them around. I've watched adults fire next to and even close to over people with no masks on.

I'm sure we all have these stories of stupidity. In a perfect world we wouldn't need seatbelts or gunlocks, let alone barrel plugs.

Yes there are people I feel totally safe standing near with a real or paintball gun. But if I dont know the guy, I have every right to expect him to be as safe as possible. Just because someone else knows he's safe doesn't mean jack to me or my eyes.

[BTAutoMag]

when does it come out?

[Muzikman]

Plain and simple...If there are balls in the loader, the gun is gassed up, and there are people around with no mask on, a barrel plug or condom should be used. Things happen, safeties fail. Does the gun need to be stored with a barrel blocking device on? No, but the gun should not be stored gassed up and with paint in it. Should your photos be taken with or without a barrel plug, if the gun is gassed up, then yes, if it is not, then there is no reason.

Bottom line, life is too short to be stupid when it comes to things like this. Even though I am very experienced with paintball markers, I would hope people would value my safety enough to have a barrel-blocking device on their "Live" gun when I am around and not wearing a mask.

AKA: Personman, if I am a visitor at your house, please put a barrel plug in your guns, cause I don't plan on showing up at the door with a mask on

[paint magnet]

Wait, so it's already out? I thought it was going to come into theatres or something. Oh well, if it's not that great I can buy some paint or something instead.
