Anyone ever played "Civil War" style?

[punkncat]

I have heard of this before but wondered if anyone has tried it out?
You carry a bag of balls on your side.No hopper and drop a ball into the marker each shot.You have to reach into the bag EACH shot one ball at a time.I have even heard of a variation where people use a stick squeegie and push the ball into the barrel.

That would make you wish you had a more accurate gun, lol.

Yes! Some friends and I came up w/ Civil War style as an alternative one day when one guy's elbow broke. Its kinda grown on us and now we usually play 2-3 Civil War games a weekend :)

I havent tried it w/ a strait shot yet b/c my group doesnt all have them, sounds fun though.

Ya I have done it before as an end of day low paint or air thing. 3 Vollys with the ref yelling "Ready, aim, fire!" as you stand in a line. Then fire at will.

Yeah , thats what I am talking about.Getting in a line say 20 yards away from each other and open up.

sounds almost like stock class, lol

Done that also.

Also tried "pocket" ball,all you can hold in one pocket.(no loader)

"Pod ball",samething but w/ one pod of paint. (no loader)

And "Ammo Dump".You carry NO paint,you put full or half full pods at various bunkers around the field and then your on your own for paint.

I was playing pocket ball and my friend would always shoot 5 shots before he would put in another. I've also heard of a type where you get a lot of people and divide int to two lines about 75 feet apart. Each person puts one ball in and a ref yells "Ready, aim, fire!" The people who are still alive take a step forward while the people who got hit get out.

ok those videos are WAY too big just for 5 minutes.

60megs just for a video less than 5 minutes...time for some sizing down

i did it with some of my friends. it was so boring we dumped the idea 5 minutes later.

How about this. One team is just normal no hopper. Then the other side has a gatling gun, or in this case a fast gun or hoppers. Have 2 or 3 people vs. like 20. Who do you think will win?

[Torbo]

never played that way by choice......when your hopper goes ahead and breaks the feedneck off....then youre stuck
