      Hmm, a fella makes an inteligent, well-written post, and a few of AO's idiots get down him for writting a well-written, intelligent post. (Russ ponders his thoughts for a moment...)

      There are immature paintball players, for sure, but they come in every age group. I have seen men older than me (and I'm oooold!) do some very stupid stuff. So remember, stupidity knows no boundries. Stupid kids grow up to be stupid adults

          I'm 14, and I won't be afraid to say that I no more about the tech aspect then most people on my team and most people at the field in general. I'm not an immature 14 year old punk so I don't really care, I try to stir my friends away from shooting cars and doing stupid stuff, but I don't make descions for them, personally, I have met tons of 12-15 years old at the field that have nice gear, are responsible, no how to take care of there stuff, and are really nice, more 16-18 years old paintball then 13-15, its a true fact, you just got to prove your self to the older group of guys

            *sigh*

            I pity the player who stereo-types me as some 14 year-old newbie, cause he's about to get a serious awakening, personally i dont mind the stereo-type, just one more advantage for me on the field. People who know me include me in the top-players at our field, so i dont care what other people stereo-type me as.

              Personally, I've been playing for about a year. I've seen children so young that they had to have their parents sign off on them playing, and people so old, I thought that they were there to watch their kids or grandkids play. That is the beauty of all of this. That is the beauty of all of this, you can play well at any level. Some of the best fun I've had at the field has been BSing with younger teenagers about paintball (remember I'll be 23 this november), and some of the worst behavior I've seen comes from the older players. You know, the ones who should be setting the example for the younger players.
              I really make no allowances for age or gender, and when we are on the field, I'm going to shoot you, and I hope you (try ) to do the same to me.
              As for people misusing paint markers, I guess there isn't much you can do. People are goning to do what they do. You can be around them 24/7 to make sure that they are not going to do something stupid. The main problem is lack of self control and respect. When a person lights off a paint marker in a non-designated area, they put them selves at risk, others at risk, show complete disregard for any established safety rules.
              Sad thing is that I know that most of the idiots with paint markers are closer to my age. And, the idea that someone would shoot another person while they are not wearing a mask is not right...

              I've rambeled enough,

                  Well, I was unaware that Macdev is Australian based, but I'm not sure what the exact rules reguarding paintball markers are. Perhaps their factory is not in Australia? Reguardless, I do know that there are strict laws reguarding paintball in Australia.
