Strange Occurrences or pure BS

I watched as a paintball deflect off my lens and gog a ref.

Another testament to the crappy quality of the BE revvys.

About 2 years ago I was playing airball and had a down the barrel shot happen to me ... now at first I was "...hmmm couldnt be a ball break...I wasnt shooting at the time" But I wasnt going to think to hard on it I was in the middle of a game.( Funny how the logic isnt that great when your cranked up in game mode)I swabbed it out and went about the game.
So ...not more than 1 min later from the same side of the bunker (playing a stand up) and shooting the same player...I get another strange spray of paint from my barrel...wich didnt have any of MY paint going through it at the time!! 2 nd Down the barrel shot...by the same guy...in the same game.

Another one is when I used to play at Mare Island (RIP) and during the winter months the field would flood 1/2 way up one side. Almost no one would go play then so it was small groups...wich allowed for some playing around with shots without being to concerened about be shot out.
Thre was a game in wich it was 6 on 6 and I ran as far up the waterline tape as I could ...sloshing around and making as much noise as it seemed possible.
I got into my bunker and looked at a pallet bunker about 25ft ahead of me to see if I could move up. Well ...there was another player in the bunker already..who saw me enter my spot and he started unloading on me . Our bunkers were not mirrored they were slightly off set ...but both were on the water line so I started shooting low on his bunker (there was a small gap where I could see his foot sticking out) All of a sudden I break a ball in my barrel and the paint starts flying all over the place ... I was new at the time so I never had a swab of anything to clean out on the field...thus I just kept railing on the trigger until the paint cleared out the barrel.
Well..I started watching the ball skip off the lake of water next to me and noticed some were skipping into the the other guys bunker. Well ...I took about 10 more shots and ...I see the guy raise his marker up over the bunker and yell "HIT". He then marched over to my bunker and was laughing when He said ..." Man... I leaned out the opposite side of the bunker to see who was on the other tape line..all of a sudden I feel 2 hits on my back. I thought You bunkered me so I turn around and no one is there. I looked around for a secnd and saw your paint skipping off the water into my bunker!!!"

I was playing on the speedball field at Carpet Bob's in American Canyon (Vallejo,ca) back in the days when we wore JT gogs only with no mask. I turned my head to yell out the other teams positions when a ball hit my front tooth and the whole mess went into my mouth. I turned and spit it out (it tasted incredibly horrible) and proceeded to ask the ref for a paint check which of course resulted in a "he's clean" Is that considered a form of wiping?

While playing in a tourney in Utah in '93, a member of the opposing team pulled the flag and ran away from me around a large bush.I cranked off a couple of shots and ran after him. Lo and behold when i rounded the bush there he was standing holding the flag in the air...eliminated. somehow one of those shots made a 90 degree turn and nailed him.

At the same tounrey, some guy's valve blew on his 20 oz. and it rocketed straight up about 100 to 150 feet. Around 200 hundred people watched as the tank plummeted downward at a Ferrari, missing it by 5 ft. It was funny to us but I think the owner of the car was dropping a serious load.

Sorry that this isn't about paintball, but I just have to share. OK so I was playing a little texes holdem the other day right. So I got an 8h and 9d, so that is not bad so I bet and end up losing. Next hand I get an 8d and 9c, so I bet again and lose. Next hand I get a 8s and a 9h I bet and won, after that hand I fliped my cards and told them I got the same hand in different suits for the past three time, so I make a joke and say if I get the same thing agian I will kick you. Sure enough the next hand I got a 8c and a 9s, and I start kicking my friend. He thought I was just joking and thinks I bluff so I bet and I had a staight draw needed one 1 card and 2 were coming. So I bluffed and went all in and he called me. I ended up having nothing and he had a pair of 2s. I flipped my cards and everybody was in shock that I had a 8c and a 9s.

So I play the next day after telling other people my story, and they laugh. I delt out the cards and I got a 8s and a 9h. So I folded in shock and amazemnet and showed them my hand. They thought I rigged the deck to make a joke, so I explained I didn't and how it was imposible because I did a scramble shuffle.

I ended up winning $90 that night, but I just had to share my crazy game of poker that no one believes execpt for the people that played with me both days.

I get balls shot down my barrel on about a weekly basis(literaly) but I don't know what my best story is, I have seen alot. Probably when a guy did a superman to a dorito and went right under it and ended at another bunker so that it looked intentional.

I got a good one, once when I was playing my friend shot a paintball in my barrel, I thought I chopped at first but it wasn't the right color paint. the whole inside of my barrel was covered too. Also happened to my brother by the samme guy as well.

Even though this sound un likely this happenes to everyone all the time. Just read this thread and that is all there is . I don't even know how many times I have goten shot down my barrel. Think of when when pop out to shoot what is exposed? Your barrel and hopper and part of you gun and your head so what dets hot the most? THis thing I just listed. Even though you think it went sraight down your barrel it probally didn't it most likely hit an edge and broke then tumbled through your barrel. Sorry to be a pooper on your parade I have just had enough of everyone telly the same story. Now if you look at my story it is different than everyones.

At Shatnerball this past year, I was in a hut that was by the insertion point of Shatner's team. I was shooting out the window at the guys about 50 yards away in another hut. There was a guy behind me shooting out the window as well, and at the same time we noticed a guy run into the hut we were shooting at, and we both laid down fire.

We started talking, and as we were I noticed an orange paintball heading straight for my face. I quickly jerked my head to the left, and as I did I heard a THWACK sound, and I noticed the guy that was behind me got hit right inbetweeen the eyes.

Talk about a Matrix move.

Did the one in a million barrel shot to someone.Went down his barrel and hit the ball in the breach.It splattered paint back up into his hopper and out of the P/F.If we weren't using different color paint and shell combos,we probably wouldn't have believed it.

I have had the exact same thing happen to me.
I was snap shooting against this guy on the Violators.One time we popped out and shot at each other at the same time a few shots.Went back in , and the next time I came out I had yellow and pink paint blowing out the barrel.My paint was yellow , his was pink.Completly blew our minds.

When I saw someone get shot in the barrel the ball did not break. it just went in and got stuck. the guy took off his barrel and pushed it out with a squeegie. that's what was so wierd about it.

I also gogged a player with a stuffed animal taped to his waist, who was throwing paintballs instead of shooting them...perhaps an fellow A.O.er?
