Bunker Names - Field Codes

[SuiciDal Sn Y p ER]

Translating the paintball language.

This bunker shown below is commonly known as the Dorito


This bunker is called a beam. But many players like to call it a laydown


Here we have a pillar like bunker. It's basically a cylinder but people like to call it a "stand up, pipe, pole, can, etc"

Cut the pillar in half and you get a "keg"

If you lay this cylinder on its side it can be called a "steam roller, or hay bale"


Here we have a cone. I don't see what's wrong with calling it a cone but other players call it a spike.


Snake...i don't think there is any other name for it


here we have a X...pronounced "EX"..or "Ecks"


this is a brick...commonly known as...a brick


If you call it something else please feel free to share it with us :)

Now for the field... This is very simple


If there is a bunker on lets say...the 30 and the bunler happend to be a a cylinder or a standup. and...there happend to be a player in that bunker. you would say something like...

"There's one in the 30 standup"
or
"One in the 30 cylinder"

It all varys

And i learned this a while back. There is more to a snake than just snake. the part of the snake that extends out is called a "Knuckle" and the part that extends inward is called the "Elbow"

Awesome post. We call steamrollers 'bales' or 'hay bales'.

I've got a few zingers to add, careful, as we're a bit uncooth out here.

A Keg is the same diameter as a can, but half as tall (we call them barrels instead of cans, thus 1/2 barrel = a Keg )

Also, we have smaller cans, that are about 4' tall, and maybe 30" in diameter that we call nipples (stiff ones at that), I've also heard them called nubbs, or if you have chicks playing, we call 'em pumpkins.

Tombstones are just what they sound like, and usually come in two sizes.

Wedges are once again, just what they sound like.

An Octopus is really a tangle of two or three snakes, and a barrel or cone.

Blocks are just like bricks but bigger.

Bases are kinda shaped like the old time fuel oil tanks you see out behind Old Man Smither's house (name changed to protect the old and busted). We call them tanks around here, and have even substituted the real oil tank in their place once or twice.

Even reffed at a tourney once that had subbed in archery targets in the place of missing bunkers. (IE a turkey where a nub should have been, and a bear where a barrel should have been, which doubled as the flag station.)

That's about all I got.

lol, that's hilarious.

At a pev's tournament a couple months ago there was this GIGANTIC brick/block, it was ridiculously enormous... most people called it a house. Our team decided that was no fun, so for no apparent reason we named it something that probably isn't allowed on AO. :)

[SuiciDal Sn Y p ER]

did you call it something related to "johnson, or ding dong, or something like weener?"

[Intellimag]

You forgot about aztecs on X-ball fields :) Thats what we call em, I mean the little half-stand-ups that slant and have a flat top :).

[SuiciDal Sn Y p ER]

basically those steep pyramids with the top that looks like it got cut off

Anything on its side is a laydown.

We use the term crackpipe down here at proving grounds.

What is a rocket?

We also have subs, beer kegs, turrets, diamonds, goal posts, and a couple others.

Well, let's just say it can make certain people happy, starts with 'D,' and rhymes with... uh... pillow??

That's an awomse snake. It's the first I have ever seen that actually looked like a snake.
