My weekend overshooting story

[Konigballer]

100 paintball hits!?!?!? I'm sorry, I would have gone beserk on that kid. It would almost be a certainty that I would have completely lost my cool and used some sort of physical violence against him. I've never heard of anyone ever being shot that much. 100 paintballs....thats like friggin' "assault with intent to kill" right there I cant believe nobody on either team didnt rush him to knock his gun away. Thats terrible. I dont know what its like were you guys play but at my field 15+ hits with obvious breakage is called excessive. I feel for you man, I hope you at least had a jersey on. I play in a tshirt cause its always so hot in Georgia so I really would have gone beserk.

You have my respect for not hurting that kid. You must be some kind of purely logical paintball Yoda type under stress

[FalconGuy016]

100 hits? Thats insane, I woudlnt be able to stand it after 10 or so and I would have run off somewhere else (behind a bunker or something) You really toughed it out

[maglover52]

one word for that kid= idiot!

thats like at my local field last weekend i wasnt there but my bro was reffing he said that some kid off the field they where getting ready to go out they put there goggle on and the kid shot his buddy(luckily he had goggles on) from point blank range with his barrel plug in the lens of the goggles. the barrel plug was a plug not a sock and hit the kid right in the goggles. that kid was banned for the reast of the day. and the owner was reffing(bob) he caught 4 guys walking off the field with there goggles off. i mean its not hard to uynderstand he has a meeting and mentions keeping your goggles on at all times while on the field at least 10 times. plus i mean think about it.... a hard little ball travling straight for your eye at 280 fps? thats gonna put your eye out.

yeah ive been overshot like that a couple times too (not by just one person like groups of 30 newbie 12 year olds in giant packs) not fun

although i dont have a problem with getting shot that many times when its happened to me because i was playing and i should stop covering my entire team while they run away and i get surrounded by 40+ people.

what i find is people most likely to over shoot in a situation fit under the situation you described most likely young and new ive never been over shot by an old guy whos first time is playing(maybe because they relealize how much money paint costs or can understand how much it would hurt to get blasted like that)

in that situation if i wasnt playing i would be pissed too probably but i wouldnt spas out on the kid unless hes just some punk who did it on purpose (although id just have the owner whos a 300+ pound bouncer deal with it lol)

[SpongeBobSquarePants]

WOW.....thats all I can say is WOW

[ashriel28]

If i was the REF, there's no way i would let him continue playing. That kid should totally have been banninated.

NOW, if I was on the field, and someone did that to one of my teammates/friends, anyone, i would have bunkered him hardcore, maybe he needs to realize the gravity of being hit with 5-10 balls at once is like.

I woulda had your back ;-)

[hockaloogey]

you must have guts - i couldn't have that happen to me and then not kill that little b****** or atleast punch/shoot the crap out of him - then i'd have to threaten to sue his father and maybe the place if they let him play again...

[SyntaxError]

Wow, I have respect for the restraint you showed, that was definately more mature than what alot of people would have done. However in this case, this kid deserved either A) a good 30 shots in the groin or B) his throat slit, cuz 100 shots is just nuts.

I'm lucky that I can say I've never been shot more than 10 times, but some of the people I've played against just went absolutely insane being shot even a few times extra. Actually in a tournament last weekend I had a guy who I capped like 3 times going for the flag, then he decided to pull the flag with hits and run at me so I let him have it. But then he just screamed "Hey ******* what the ****" etc, and threatened me with violence, all because he didn't put up his hand. Making it even worse, he was probably a 30 year old guy threatening to beat up a 15 year old kid, thats just insane in my book.

I really respect that you didnt do something like the above story, especially considering if that that dude had come anywhere near me, there were enough badarse dudes I know around the field there to put him in traction for a few months. But this kid deserved a good caning for 100 shots, definately.

Don't mention Caning to Newt!

[mangomag]

ouchy!

man, that must have hurt! looks like that kid must have some type of problem?

[KornKamp02]

Wow, I'd run up to him, steal his marker, and shoot him 50 times in the groin and called it a day. You, however, did the right thing and didn't use force. I like that. That kid must of ahd some sort of problem. NOBODY shoots a person 100 times without realizing he's shot someone, I think this guy did it on purpose, why, I have no idea.

[RT pRo AuToMaG]

I could understand if he was new or something and shot you once or twice accidentally, but that's just insane. All I can say is that you handled yourself very well becaue i would have gone into a rage, gotten a paintball gun, and shot a case of paint at him, and punched his dad in the face if he even looked at me funny. The only time overshooting is ever justifiable is in a competative tourney, where the person you're shooting at has a marker, and you're not sure that you hit him or not, but if you had a yellow ref mask, and no marker, then there was no excuse for even one hit, but 100 is just crazy.

Strangley enough, I didn't take one picture with me in it. They're all pictures of my friend is all his "still single paintball playing glory"

[Miscue]

That sucks. I had a similar situation in a walk-on woods game... teenager on my team, game was over, FA, dumped his hopper, I was stuck in a hole about to crawl out. Yelling, waiving hands, took my barrel off and threw at him... but I was gogged completely blind to aim. Welted top to bottom, front and back. Nobody saw. I was pissed as hell.

I bought a stainless barrel the next day.

I ref quite often at a local field.I warn people on their first overshooting incident.After than , they sit out a game.Happens again and I will ban them for the day.
If the problem becomes really bad then then owner of the field will ban them for good.
I have been shot up quite a bit reffing and playing.The worst for me was during a woodsball game.One of the young guns had his marker go down and didn't know what to do.I went over and took his marker in hand to see what was wrong.I called him a neutral player and was wearing the bright yellow jersey.....Two guys jumped up out from behind their cover and both of them wailed on me for a good 15 seconds straight.Lucky for me they were using rentals with shaker hoppers , but I still got lit up good.I had to blow the horn to get them to stop shooting me.
All they saw was a target in the open.The yellow jersey didn't mean a thing.
I also find that tourney players will often shoot the hell out of you if you come out too soon....(after being eliminated)
