[1ofkind]

[hAppy]

whats wrong w/ your luck?

quitting is a losers way out

[FreakBaller12]

live and learn
you'll get better by your mistakes and losing

[MayAMonkeyBeYourPinata]

Yes and give me all of your stuff

[TheDuelist]

Quit? Theres a belief out there that says "people make their own luck." If you feel you need to quit than do so, but do it for a real reason other than what you have posted. Everyone goes through periods where it seems nothing goes their way. I think if you give it some time you'll see things change for the better.

Now that will be $1200 for this session.

You want all my stuff, we'll just for free... I think I'ed rather sell my stuff and buy a computer, then lock myself in my room and play internet games all day... Anyway I don't want to go threw my life story, which is pretty much paintball. But I'll tell you the last straw.
The last straw was today, In the past I Bought a eletric autococker, not working at all tons of problems. So I mailed it out to be fixxed and finally I got it back I was very excieted to finally have a working gun, so I thought I'ed try it out, just incase, and damnit, a whole set of new problems.

1200$ for that lesson, gee wizzss... Anyway If we made our own luck, we'll then thats not luck maybe faith. Anyway I've been playing for years, and I'm known for all my broken guns, its my reputation at the field... My patients is at two points, very thin, to ran out.

i dont know if your pb life was as harsh as my friend's but he managed to have fun

his first spyder chopped like a mofo, he lived w/ it
his 2nd gun a phantom started shootin hot cus the velocity adjuster screw got retarded
his 3rd mag was quality built, but than he didnt get a good deal, it was terrible cond, but it worked great
his 4th gun a cocker has a valve leak RIGHT Now, but he'll get that fixed

dont send you stuff to people to fix, they re unreliable, get someone on forums to help you man, dotn give up either my freind didnt

a) don't let idiots screw with your e-cocker.
b) buy a more reliable gun or learn the gun well enough to work on it and fix it yourself.
c)if you need a good place to send it to... try freeflow. They know their shiz quite well.

1st step on the road to recovery: Buy a working and reliable gun (I would reccomend anything AGD,CCI,Palmer's or WDP).

Then, just go out there and play. Don't go out there with the attitude that you're going to win, go out with the attitude that you're going to have fun. Have all your stuff together before you get to the field, and try to keep it organized. Also, try taking a break from paintball or playing on a different field. Or get a group of your friends to go play. Anyway, have fun and good luck.

nope, but it DOES sound reasonable to take a break from pball for the next 2 or 3 months. Generally I give myself about a 1 or 2 month break from pball in the summer, and thus pball never gets old, b/c I take a regular annual break from it, and come back from it refreshed and ready to play some more.

sometimes you just hit a rut and can't get out of it, and it's times like those where you just need to sit back, relax and go do other things for a change for a bit.

but totally quit paintball?? nope.

[DiRTyBuNNy]

yes...everybody here hopes I would quit..but nah..like it was said above..take a break...don't come on the forums as much...go learn curling or something and come back to pb in the spring..

[$tevo]

NO one likes quiters!

send it to freeflow man. or take it to ur local shop, and let them try

[f3rr3+]

not that im all about agd but if you dont want to fix your gun get a emag..... they are the most relible guns imo.... i loved my mag... infact the only reason i dont still have it is that tinkering and fixing is half the fun for me

i think the main reason a person should quit is due to the money and time issue. don't quit if you're not having luck on the field or with broken guns. by a mag . I have NEVER EVER had a problem with it, and i've had it for a long time.
Just don't quit because of terrible luck. practice more, learn about your guns, and do anything to help improve your game.
