Are the "Glory Days" gone?

[BigEvil]

If you had the chance to play a paintball game in the late eighties, you remember an entirely different world.

WOW I am feeling old right now. Thanks for helping to bring on a flashback of Skirmish circa 1989 - although I do miss those old style PGP games with 50 people running around the woods aimlessly for 45mins.

Sorry, I only had a chance to play in the *early* 80's

[Maggot6]

I wasn't even alive, or thought of being alive in the late eighties....

[NewMagMan21]

I was just born in the late eighties...*sigh*...ah well...I think that living in such a small town kind of gave me a taste of the 80's experience...All my friends running around with their pumps...5 bps was unheard of...no actual field even heard of to us...Then that changed... ...

[Jeffy-CanCon]

I think you are confusing "glory days" with "pioneer days". The former would imply a peak of popularity, or technical development. For paintball, both are still rising. We may no longer see the same level of innovation, because all the basics seem to have been done, already. And the corporate organisation of modern paintball will reduce the likelihood that we will ever see personailities like Tom, Bud & Glenn, ever again.

Damn, I was born in 1987. Hey, did any worthwile guns come out in that year? I'd like to own one, that'd be cool. Woot, I get to buy cigars in a couple of months... legally. Oh yeah, and vote...

You is old to Eh?

Yup. When I starting playing paintball we didn't even have paintguns, had to throw them at each other.

[Magglerock]

Yup. When I starting playing paintball we didn't even have paintguns, had to throw them at each other.

Well back in my day we didn't have "paintball markers" or "paintballs". We had to make jars from clay and fill them with pigment dye squeezed from poisonous berries and we'd throw them at each other. They would shatter on your head and give you a concussion, or you'd slip and and get cut on shards of dirty clay and get an infection, or the poisonous berry-dye would get in your eyes and blind you, or you'd swallow some and fall into a coma, AND WE LIKED IT! And we'd run around blind, stumbling through a concusion and poison-induced coma running fevers from open, infected wounds oozing puss and AND WE LIKED IT!

And we thought that mags weren't as accurate because of their "bayonette-fit barrels" and that they couldn't shoot as far due to their "blow forward design", and when anyone tried to debate us using "science", we strung him up from a tree!

Ah, the good ol' days.

[wombo102]

i agree with new magman21, the good ole days were back when i just started and all of us had spyders and tippmans and we considered the guy with the electric spyder a god, and then i got my angel



and completely off topic but how do hitech and beemer have sigs?

[AGDlover]

It was allready found at IAO this year Mags took down cocker thus mags rule them lol Cockers are great guns and personaly are at an equal level performance wise IMO. If you got a gun that shoots paintballs it cool with me.
