ya well a couple weekends ago i was playing some rec ball at one of my local fields. the story goes like this...

It was the game right before lunch. We were playing on a field made up of a lot of buildings to represrent a town. Me and my buddy were making a hard push up the left tape and basically tearing up anything in our way. We were playing well and destroying that side. The game was getting down to the end and the guys we had shot out were standing off the field next to us watching, and walking up the side of the field as we moved. This is common for dead players to do and the refs allow it as long as they dont talk.

In our next move, a bunker move, my buddy layed cover and I ran up the tape to bunker a couple kids. Successfully. It was a beautiful move and sealed the game for us. All of a sudden I got shot in the back. Im like WTF. I look behind me and it was one of the dead players. He said when I made the bunker move I frickin stepped out of bounds. So he decided to, instead of telling the ref, shoot me himself. Of course that made me mad and I automatically tore into him with some harsh words. We had words and I walked off the field and this guy actually stuck his gun barrel in my neck and said if you touch me ill shoot (wtf?) So I dropped my trusty, not gunna break, Retro mag on the ground and knocked the kid on his ***. He then proceeded to shoot me 6 or 7 times in the chest. My friend then lit him up not stopping for about 8-10 seconds. Ya all that happened in under a minute. By that time the refs got there and seperated us.

So even though this kid started all that, I got sent home for the day with him. Not that I care I usually leave after lunch anyway but its just the princable of it.

O ya and then he had the nerve to flip me off while driving out of the lot.

so in conclusion they need to make a new rule. Dead guys dont talk, OR SHOOT.

well, looks like he started it, then raised the bar when he shouldn't have. You were right. Nothing wrong with a little raised temper after that crap. Refs weren't doing their job either.

I can see where your comming from exactly though. I could piss off the wrong guy. I was on a paintball field though. I dont know too many guys who paintball strapped.

You have to understand though. I didnt get in his face looking to fight. I didnt even get in his face looking for a shoving match. I was just venting the frustration I had. HE was the one who stood up and brought the situation to the next level.

You're right: it's the principle of the matter. What you did was illegal; it's considered battery, possibly assault, and in no way can you explain what you did as being mature, correct, or justified. No matter what the other person did, you still committed a crime. Yes, a crime.

An unconvictable crime, since at the time the time the "victim" had a (depending on what state you're in) firearm to the "assailant's" throat. He clearly thought he was going to get shot in the throat at point blank range, which is very dangereous, and as such took corrective measures to make sure he wasn't shot in the throat.

As to the immaturity of pushing someone threatening to give you a tennis ball sized bruise in your throat, he's lucky he didn't do it to me. My trusty tape cutting knife and him would have had words, and it would have sounded a lot like "gurgle gurgle, THUMP"

Years ago my friend and i were playing at a field in a nice capture the flag wodded game. At the time i was using my tippman pro-am and my buddy had a pro-light. Anyways, we got stuck with flag detail and my buddy burried himself in the rear of the flag area with a good field of fire (and basically invisible) and i hid behing some fallen trees with a good line to the front. We had the angles covered as best we could with two people, and not knowing the field shape we though we were basically ok. We were wrong, this pack of 5 guys managed to get behind my buddy and over to me. They shot me in the back, completely unaware, for literally 10 seconds. All the while I was screaming from the fetal posistion that i was out and hit. They just kept firing and firing at me until their hoppers were empty. Once they were dry my buddy went to jump up and started yelling surrender. They were only standing a few feet from my friend so when he started moving one of them went over to him and held him down with his foot, pulle dout his sidearm, and shot him in the back of the head until it was empty. At this point I could take it any more, I couldn't believe how dirt this guys were. Anyone that remembers the Pro-Am knows it is quite the durable metal gun, and although not great as a marker, it is a big heavy stick. I knocked this guy off my buddy by clubbing him in the head with the Pro-Am. He fell, my buddy got up, and we squared off with these guys. They took a hint and picked up their buddy and walked away. The Refs gave us some stares in the dead zone since i had more then 100 broken balls on me, my buddy had 10 rounds in the bakc of his neck, and this other guys had a swollen jaw and teeth in his hand.

Sometimes it crazy stuff just happens and you need to swing the big stick to end it.

Most of you are really missing the point in trying to justify your actions and manhood. You like paintball, right? There are tons of people who don't and would love to see the game banned forever from existance. Despite whatever actions would be acceptable elsewhere, they are not acceptable at a paintball field. If someone is out of line at the field, let the staff handle it, that is their job! Being on the street and at the paintball field are two completely different things.

WicKeD_WaYz.... You the man!!!
I live in Oklahoma I have a concealed carrie lic. I would have been fully backed BY LAW to break out my 9 and cap his ****. Forget about the law as soon as the dude placed that barrel to his neck it was over. That was all self defense. I think he did good its about time some people have the balls to stand up and defend themselves. Also that wouldnt have went anywhere in court 1. he is a juvy and 2. if the feild owner had pressed charges the Dist. att. would have looked at that and said "he should have got his but kicked". At least that is what mine said.

To be fair Shart, I feel pretty confident that I could prove I thought my life was in jeopardy if someone had a .68 caliber weapon firing at 280 FPS (which is by the way, a little under half the speed of a .45 pistol) to my troat. As has been mentioned, that can (under all the wrong circumstances) be lethal, especially if the person were to fire more then once (or had an automatic).

Now, that being said, I can't imagine anyone actually bringing a firearm onto a paintball field. As this, and some other stories on this thread, prove, emotions run too hot on a paintball field to safely have a real firearm there. I know I keep guns with me nearly everywhere I go, but when I play paintball they stay in the car.

I should let this die, but I'm no good at ignoring things.

Lets see, I assumed you signed a waiver that stated people would be firing paintballs at you. In the normal course of play someone could have a paintball gun (not .68 caliber weapon) to your throat and fire, as a normal part of the game. Shoot someone with a firearm because they threatened you with a paintball gun on a paintball field during a game (regardless of whether you were out or not) and you will find yourself in jail. PERIOD. The caliber and speed of the paintball will be irrelevant.

Oh my…. I would suggest a serious change in lifestyle.

I would say that you don’t know where to draw the line at all. People should only fight to protect themselves. And if you find yourself in situations that you have to protect yourself THAT often….. read my first comment.

But you DID get in his face. And that is a violation of his personal space. Of course he got up. You went over to him in an angry manner spouting stuff at him. Did you honestly expect him to just SIT there while someone came up to him in an aggressive manner? Oh, he was suppose to just sit back and see if you were going to hit him, right?

For someone who is claiming to be so street smart, you sure turn it on and off at will. I think the average person would consider your actions a threat and a sign of violence. And the average person would have stood up as well. Did you tell him you were not looking for a fight?

This is all getting pretty silly…… and as such, I will leave this thread alone.

I will just say that I am glad you are okay. I hope you learned some lesson from it. And I hope you change your ways in life.

Maybe I do need a new lifestyle. The fighting thing just seems to happen a lot where I live, with my friends, in my neighborhood, etc. And I ALWAYS manage to get involved I dont even KNOW how I get myself into some of that **** but it happens. Maybe I need to move cities and get get new friends.

O well. About the turn my street smarts off and on thing. Paintball for me is a whole different place. Like ive said before its not like walking through a park after dark or on the wrong side of town. I dont have to be on my gaurd all the time. Its a place where I feel totally safe and to be honest I have never once thought about fighting anywhere related to paintball. It was just a reaction to knock that guy down when he put his barrel in my neck.

"Did you tell him you were not looking for a fight?"

No I didnt tell him I wasnt looking to fight. How was I to know the psycho was thinking about fighting? Like I have stated before. The word "fight" never even entered my head as I was yelling at him. I have yelled at people before while paintballing. Im sure we all have. Like if you see someone wipe, etc. I have yelled at people and they have said words back to me and we both get over it and go on with our day. Its kind of part of the sport. Sometimes paintball it VERY verbal whether its recball or tournies. My point is there have been confrontations before on a field. They happen between people EVERY time I play. Never once has one side of the party stuck a gun barrel to someones throat.

Im going to have to disagree with you Sam in saying I did something to advocate this. I didnt come close to the guy. I didnt threaten the guy.

My words prolly went sumthing like this...

"what the *bleep*? why the *bleep* would you shoot me? You could have *bleeping* told me i stepped out. bleep you.

ya i know myself and thats probably something close to what I said.

So once again I will still stand my ground when I say I did NOT get the guy to point his marker at me.

So you are telling me that it is justified for him to stick his barrel in my throat if im yelling at him?

Ive been shot in the throat.

Did I die?

No

Could I breathe?

No

But I can say I have never seen someone shot in the adams apple from point blank. the key words there are point blank.
