Daddy, make the hurtng stop....... My weekend got bunkered story

[wobbles82]

Blindfiring is a big no no in all of the fields around here. As for my bunkering story, yesterday playing some team I went to bunker my mirror..and he wasnt there. So, after my back player corrects his call, I go and bunker two guys in the same bunker. On their side of the field, I shoot out their back player, and go for the mid. Well, as I begin to start shooting at him, I realize..my Evo2 is making a loud noise..and I have 6 second delay on my eye..no..oh god no..no paint. So I grab a pod out of my pack, and start running. Some say it was the craziest thing they have ever seen, as I ran from their flag station, to the 50, to about the 40, and tried to reload, but got hit in the pack in the process, too bad I guess, lol. Eventually the guy got torn down by like 5 teammates, all in all it was funny. As for reffing stories..the worst is when you go to the 50 shootout scene, and get in a fight of who got shot first, and then they continue to bunker each other, and then somebody else comes up..jeez.no respect, lol.

Bump! Big ups and props for reffs! I reff too, and it is a thankless job. Its awsome you get into the action and see the situation develop, myself likewise.

I took some nice bunker shots this spring. We were playing a three man tournament. I made it to the middle 50. I had a guy pinned in his bunker when he tried to advance and didn't know I was there. I actually hit him but didn't get any breaks. Both my two back players were in corner pop cans cross firing the field. They both got taken out at the same time and left without saying "hit!". A player from the opposite team then proceded to come around my back and let me have it with 5 shots from about 2 feet away. It drove me forward into the dirt and hurt like a son of a gun. You could hear my shouts of pain and surprise all over the arena. It was a nice move but I wish he had hit my pack or at least let off the trigger a bit.

Another kind of funny story is when a bunch of us were playing pickup speedball. There were also a group of kids that wanted to play. Since it was open ball, the more the merrier. Of course, you know what inexperienced kids do on the break. They (three of them) stayed in the first bunker near the start. I had to stay there off the break as well because I couldn't run due to a bad knee injury earlier in the season. The bunker was too small for all of us so after the initial burst of fire, I assessed the situation and decided I could make it forward to a bunker about 20ft ahead of the one we were in. I told the kids where I was going and to not shoot me as I moved forward. They acknowledged and I took off running as fast as my limp would allow. I didn't get 4 steps out of the bunker when one of the kids sticks his gun up over the top of the bunker and blind fires down the field. He made a perfect shot right to the back of my head. I was bent forward to keep low and my balance was off because of my limp, so the impact caused me to do a nice sprawl forward into the dirt. I know the refs quite well and they were all rolling around laughing uncontrollably. It was quite funny and is still brought up in conversation at the field.

Last time I played in Utah one of the fields had a rule saying you could blind fire. I was like WTF. Then again gun hits didn't count either. I had a huge target *warped Minimag with 14" barrel* so I'd use it like a shield and the refs would just laugh. All of my group + the refs thought it was a ridiculious rule to not enforce. I did however get accused of it because I was shooting through a hole on a wood pallet. Little did they know but I could look down my barrel and see the guy. Oh well. Either way that was the last time I went there.
