Nor Cal AO Day: pics and stuff (56 k'ers beware)

[ZAust]

damn aegis.. i actually had an extra powertube tip you could have used. you should have asked around.

highlight of the day: steeratt(steelrat.. whatever) letting me use his viking. i am buying a viking.

lowlight of the day: chris eliminating his own teammate by shooting me in my hopper(even though he said he didnt)

as fun as the paintball was, the area 51 was even funner. yes, i am gramatically incorrect.

and as my did pointed out, in every picture im in, i look like a big wuss.







i just wanted to point out that i really am a big wuss, and that i really suck at paintball.

to conclude this extremely annoying and picture ridden post, i just wanted to share some things i learned from todays semimegameet.

- accuracy is way more important than kills in area 51.

- level 10 is a good thing.

- and lastly, i learned just how much paint you can possibly shoot in a game.

peace homeys.

connor did have the grips, which are very nice. i think he realized just how fugly that drop was and thankfully left it at home

Zach i did you a favor by getting you out before you embarassed yourself

[LittlePaintballBoy]

nope, had that drop the whole time. actually ive had that drop longer than my mag. it may be ugly, but i can balance my gun on my pinky, full hopper and all.

accuracy is way more important than kills in area 51. -Zaust

WOOOOOOOOOT! I got to dump half a hopper through it, its amazing. i really like Ryan's viking too, i can shoot just as fast on both, both have great customer service and stuff, so im torn between the two. but i think il probably try to trade my mag for an emag before anything else.

hows this

[Steelrat]

Oh my god, hes levitating. Not only does he shoot lots of paint, he defys the laws of physics.

[ZAust]

is there anything z-man cant do?

[abec]

It was sick being on z-mans tape it was alwase open for advancement sence he never stoped shooting each game.

Wonderful Day!

HAAHAHA that was me practicing my River Dance as I moved to my tape line position. as soon as I read "jig" and saw that picture, I knew that I would never be able to look at it the same.

Now that I am FINALLY home for the night and all you normal people hit the sack, Ill construct my elaborate post. First the formal/serious part (yeah I can actually be serious... sorta)

I want to that all you guys who made this possible. Suffices to say that getting a group of people together who never met, have no phone numbers or address to work with and only this forum, is no small feat and I say it worked out great.

Second I want to say what a pleasure to play with you all it was. Not only did most of you shoot Mags but you were honest, cordial, and extended your hospitality to me and each other (again you never met any of us!). I hope I can contribute more to this next time and I would go so far as to say that is was an honor to play with you all. I'll drive anywhere in CA if we do another get together to play with people of character.

3rd and last we stuck together through the day. I was really stoked to see how you all helped each other troubleshoot, prep, and play the game all day.

Again this was a wonderful experience for me and in my 7 years of playing it ranks right up there.

Now the typical Zak.

That day rocked and we are defiantly doing it again.

Believe it or not, I don't usually go through 1200+ rounds in a game (my other gun is actually.... ok its actually another RT). I had never actually had his happen before but about 80% through my 1200 rounds I couldn't pull the trigger very fast because it was all burning with lactic acid buildup (back to the weighs on the pointer finger..). What is worse was that I think I was being filmed so I had to play it off and try all the harder to keep up the cycling rate hehe.

Total shots fired: approx. 7,500 rounds

Total players hit: ....not your business

Carbon, that right side sweep was pro and you pulled it off sweet!

ABEC- Gotta love that Evolution and glad to have you teaming up with my in the bunker (feel much better when I got both sides covered.)

Mighty Mike- Never underestimate the power of the RT!

I would love to see the rest of the picts of the day tomorrow and if anyone took video footage that would be sweet too!
