You gotta see this Bunkering video

[-=Squid=-]

ugh...I was playing a tourney in KC, and a guy came to bunker me (I shot him way first, but thats another story) and as he came by, his barrel went under my mask and shot me in the mouth. I ended up with a bloody lip, a bloody nose, and a fat lip. Own3d.

Personally I see both those players as idiots. Whatever happened to playing fair? If you get hit call yourself out. That is the one huge gripe I have with tourny ball. Most players will sit in til the ref comes and pulls them. By that time they could have shot another 5+ shoots easily. If your hit get out. Show some class and not be an @ss.

If it's an obvious hit you call yourself out. If you have been shoot somewhere that you can't feel that is the refs job to call you out.

If like in the situation in the video, the players shouldn't have to make the calls, the ref should be right in the middle of that whole thing. Instead the only ref that I see is running to check the player in the back dorito. It's not not have class, it's playing the game to win. It's the refs job to make calls like that. They should be in position.

For the people with probs seen the movie you need to get the updates and it should work....

My paintball veteran friend told me of a guy once who played a tournie, got shot at point blank range, got knocked out, went home feeling wierd and later died. So yeah paintballs at close range can hurt alot.

so in a 5 man game your saying there should be 10 refs out to make the call on each player. Somehow I don't see that happening just due to the crowds you'd have to fire through. Anyways it's hard to tell who shot first but why oh why did they keep pulling the trigger. It's obvious that the guys mask is going pink and there both out. I for one think that there should be harsher penalties for over shooting. Something that would actually disicpline players. Like a suspension or fine. Now I for one can tell when I've been hit except on the pack. In which case if I feel I've been hit I call for a paint check. That brings up another part of the game I don't like. Everytime a player shoots he says check the player even when it was no where close to hitting. Sometimes I see it but every 3rd shot come on.

at the end the guy with all the paint on his head is asking to get it wiped off

I'm saying there should be refs there. There are 4 players in that immediate area, and two are doing run throughs, at least one ref should be following them. I mean they could be behind the camera, but they need to be making the call a whole lot sooner than that.

I don't think you should even consider suspending somebody for overshooting unless it is incredible flagrant. When I play in a tournament I will continue to shoot someone until they put their hand up or get off the field. I don't need to waste my time deciding whether someone is out our not. If your on the field your alive to me.

Hmmm....personally, I've NEVER heard of ANY paintball related deaths EVER. I'm sure if this story was true, we all would have heard about it.

Trust me, death and paintball would cause quite a ruckus online and elsewhere.

[Tyger]

Few things.

Thre have been deaths in paintball, but so far none have been related to being impacted with a ball. One guy was struck by lightning while on the field. I know of another who had a heart attack or the like and died in the staging area (But that's another story, no autopsy, by widow's request...)

The other thing is... why don't we institute a rule, just for the audience's sake. If someone hits you more than 3 times from less than 10 feet away, you get 30 seconds to drop your guns and just beat the snot out of each other with your fists. I watched that video with memories of derider's "300 FPS" video in mind, and the fistfight they showed there.

Actually, I'm surprised we don't see more fistfights. Either that or, like all the other problems, it's been swept under the rug with the policy of "If we ignore it, it might go away"

No, as I recall Lasloya bunkered a novice with turbo mode, 12 balls in the head guy got sent to a hospital...

****, maybe Lasloya and Salm should play togheter...

dude they Did, you retard untill jeremy got busted.

and chris wasnt useing turbo. he just had a sick trigger pull that bounced. this was before the bounce rule came into play.

Lasoya was banned for life from PanAm for shooting a guy point blank in the head 12 times. The guy was knocked out and taken to the hosptial and treated for a concussion. Chris claimed he only pulled the trigger 6 times. If true, he had an illegal gun anyway on top of blasting the poor schmuck way too many times. 6 point blank, is still gross overshooting in my book.

now how much sence does that make. "he was banned from pan am" the 12 balls in the head head didnt happen at a pan am event. it happened at the msts masters of the mountain. i was there. and if u think 6 balls is over shooting then i dont recomend playing against anybody better than rookie

I heard about that but wasnt aware he was banned for life?? Bizarro, but still, after watching the jawwbraker 1 episode, just the way he talks creeps me out...

im pretty sure he wasnt banned for life from anything. certly not the msts.

I got bunkered like that once by someone that I clearly hit before he even left his bunker, but he kept shooting anyway, so I just kind of was sitting there dumb founded when he proceeded to run at me and then I got shot all over the back of my head and neck. After that I went w/ Tyger's idea and laid the guy out and broke two of my fingers in the process. After that was over I later was arrested and charged w/ assault and was banned from the field for a year while the guy who played on and shot me didn't even get so much as a dirty look, either way two wrongs don't make a right and if it ever happens to me again I will handle it differently, but people need to stop playing like that or more guys or girls will get arrested for doing what I did.

I remember back in the days before wings (ear protection flaps) on masks, I saw a dude get shot in the temple with a paintball (that's right, not six but one). He dropped right there and his eyes rolled back in his head. He was out for a good couple minutes. That's was one of the few real "oh ****" moments I've ever seen on the paintball field. Never seen anyone else come close to going out since then, espcially with how protective masks are these days.

That sucks. seems a little excessive though, unless he ended up needing reconstructive surgery. Good thing they aren't that strict in the NHL.
