Is the whole point of that video to give paintball a bad image??? I'm not impressed.

I don't go to a field looking for a fight. I go to play/watch paintball. There's no reason whatsoever for someone to resort to violence. If they do, I'm comfortable knowing that I am much more intelligent than they are.

2 Someone's already said what I was thinking I just watched the Texas Cup Preview, much better attitudes there!

lol pc paintball cop....

I'm with Anthraxxx...

law...who said anything about being sheep? And If i blatantly overshot you withing striking distance you would do nothing? What about if I slid into you and shot you multiple times? Liar.... You know you would push or use some kind of aggression... or would you go into the fetal position and sniffle?

Nope nothing at all man. I was playing a big game and was shot up from 5 ft away, multiple shots in my neck and it drew blood. I got up and walked away. Its part of the game, learn how to deal with it. Self control isn't that difficult.

fighting is a weak, pu$$y thing to do.

cool vids though apart from the anger problem

[UltimatePaintballer]

i want that dvd! does the guy actually hit the one guy?

also what did that guy get mad about in the beginning?

[Nick O time]

lol yeah

i hope i can order it soon too. even though its a bad representation, most of that stuff does go on durring tournys anyways this is probably the first time some of you have seen it though including me but i have heard of it and saw some pretty heated arguements at Chicago Open this year and last. i dont agree with it but still u have to admit it is pretty dang funny to watch.

Hmm... Maybe I'm just a bad person and have a bad temper cause the only two fights I have been in in the past year were both at seperate paintball fields. The first Was a big long story that ended in someone physically attacking me and then needing to get help from his mom and their sponsor to get the guy away from me (he is 22 I was 18 at the time) He hit me cause he said I pointed my gun in his sisters face... well his sis was reffing and i was showing her a hit on my hopper... When I explained this he went ballistic and hit me, so I defended myself and then his mom started yelling and trying to hit me someone restrained her I finished my business with her son and then his sponsor approached me about my inappropriatness... oh well....

The next I bunkered an ex-marine in rec-play and said surrender, he shot at me once and as soon as i realized it I returned fire, he put three balls on me after he was out and I put 5 on him at the same time. He drew blood and my leg was bleeding profusely, then he stood up and got in my face pointing his gun then he shoved me and took a swing at me. so I shoved him into his bunker and hollered to a ref. The ref saw the whole thing, and pulled him for the day, after stepping in the middle.

But those are my stories about fighting and paintball, Cursing is another thing, It's pretty much slang nowadays any way so most people don't take too much offense. But I usually watch it around parents and players I don't know.

I guess I am not really the fighting type so its easy for me to walk away. I have been in similar situations however call me whatever for not wanting to "defend myself" but honestly a fight will end a lot quicker if you dont provoke it further. Sure you might get hit a few times but eh I guess its never really been worth my time and attention to give into any violent tendency I might have

[JesseB]

I don't go looking for fights or start them but if someone swings at me then I'll fight. If it's a shove or some words big deal I don't really care they can go jump off a cliff.

Yup I get ya, I guess thats just not how I am. I think the only thing I really wanted to get accross in my posts anyhow was just the fact that I hope at least the player that started the fight in the video or both players were kicked out of the tournament and if not I think that some of the tournament series have to get a little more strict as far as what is and is not acceptable behavior on the field. Maybe for the first offense take them out of their teams next game, and if it happens again that player should be told to leave.

I was just bothered mostly by some people that thought it was funny and completely acceptable to have people fighting once in a while. I see others views and such and I hope that other people can see where I am coming from/getting at here. I just dont think you can justify it by comparing paintball to other sports that have fighting in it. In hockey you get a penalty and you can also be ejected from the game if you keep on picking fights with people. I hope I made some kind of sense, I suppose we can just let this thread die
