He's right, the Osbournes are what its all about these days. I used to care that something like this has hurt the sport but i dont care anymore. We hear about stuff like this being on tv all the time and paintball is still around so whats one more show?

[magman007]

you know, if it is what its all about these days, that means that young, impressionable people will be watching, who might get the idea to try it. Now, would 4million phone calls to MTV make them think twice? i think it would... you know we can atleast try

Bad Publicity on TV...

Actually, in an odd way, even if Jack is a Dork, and not portraying paintball in the best light, it does give the sport more exposure. How many kids (adults??) will see the show, and then not want to shoot a neighbor, but try out that cool gun... Like it or not, Jack Osbourne is a spokesperson for paintball. Most people don't have a clue who Tom is, or who Bob Long is, but they know Jack Osbourne has a paintball gun... LOL

Besides they have been portraying paintball poorly on tv for more than a decade. I remember when this first came out, long before the internet even, and everyone said it was going to ruin paintball forever...

Season 5: LA Law Episode Guide
Splatoon

Original Air Date: 1991-01-03
written by John Hill & Barry M. Schkolnick

Victor is finally named a partner, and begins a romance with Grace. Abby appears on the "Donahue" tv program to talk about her experiences with a handgun. Stuart freaks out during a rigorous paintgun competition with Douglas and Jonathan. Tommy represents the wife of a brain-damaged former boxer. Ann and Stuart reconcile.




I remember people coming out to the field that Jan. and Feb. and the only reason was that they had seen it on LA Law and thought it looked like something cool to try...

Who is Bob Long? lol

Way back when he made custom cockers that were the cats meow I didn't have an idea who he was. He has his team Ironmen, but is he any good? WHY does he have his name on his guns? I don't have a "Tom Kaye Maganator".

I've never met him or read anything great about him..

Just he's the capt. of Ironmen and colors guns and calls them his own. Tom should annodize his signature on every X-Mag.. now that's classy, lol. The "TK-Mag"

I use to have a sticker on my tank like 6 years ago that said "Who the F is Andy Greenwell?"

He was some tournament player that had a fuzzy curly afro (he was white) and he made his own gun.. no one knew who he was. It looked like a Star Trek phaser and had as much use as one. I remember some kid at my local shop won one of his guns and it broke the first time he gassed it up.. he Met Andy greenwell at a tournament and Andy gave him a whole new gun.. the kid sold it, lol

[Animal Mother]

I found Andy Greenwells gun! Called "Blade", lol

All I could find was a pdf with the patent

[Crazy]

yeah, the show comes on after the "jack returns from rehab" episode

[Animal Mother]

watch it, tonight!

For me it's on at 7pm since my Direct TV is pointed to another time zone. my TiVo is set to record it.

As they say... check your local listings :)

[Skoad]

he had a classic RT on his desk :)

so far he hasn't shot anyone, he just painted the neighbors tennis court and shot some stuffed animals.

[Animal Mother]

Yeah I just saw it!!! Classic RT!!! whoooo!

I'll get pictures later, hehe

[JT2002]

yeah thats all he did. except it seemed like he did it with a new ir3. i wonder if he will take it to the next step lol

[Animal Mother]

Well he didn't single handily destroy the name of paintball, lol

he painted their annoying Tennis court and setup a bunch of stuffed bunnies and shot them hehe

I need to make friends with Jack, maybe we can setup an Airball field in his backyard, invite some friends and play with unported short barrels at 3am.. have a really loud buzzer and encourage loud trash talking.. Oh that would rule
