Stuff Magazine = BAD image for the sport!! (i swear its a paintball topic)

[Automaggin2]

how in the heck is that hurting the sport? i highly doubt pepole are going to say "wow, seems dangerous" from that little magazine page. If it said like "paintball is a dangerous sport and should be illegal", that thats hurting the sport. You had me thinking it was some horrible thing.

you=over reacted

ypu sat on that for 3 days? dag...i would ahve looked at it and said "poo happens". that magazine is aimed towards 17-35 year old males, not "crazy acitivist granny".

Parts on Wrong?

Is it me or is the beavertail and drop forward on backwards in thatpicture in the article. Or is this a new feature of the Orracle that I don't now about.

I'm forced to agree with the "image fanatic" my friends. In a world where rock music is blamed for subarban white children shooting one another, and everyone is worried about the next terrorist attack: image is everything. I enjoy the sport of paintball. That's right, the sport . Paintball is not a simulation of war. If we wish to continue playing this game in a time of limited freedoms, let us see that it is represented correctly. I guess you'll call me an "image fanatic" too. There are worse things to be called I guess.

I think the point of the upside-down beavertail and the reversed srop was to make it feel more like a real gun ie: Simulater war lechnology. The tank will be longer, as in the stock of a gun...

Anyways... I don't think this was a "bad image" either... With the amout of people reading this, it should drawn in a few to the sport...

Paintball is not a simulation of war

It sure did start as one, and many people still play like it is. There is nothing wrong with this! The wimpification of America has lead to the conclusion that playing with toy guns and soldiers makes us in criminals. That is total BS. I am as big a leftist pinko pacifist as you can find, but I been playing with toy guns all my life. I call the Minimag a gun. I were camos, and gasp, I call the people I hit "kills". This is make belive and fun.
