    Tippmann 98C

    It was...awesome. Even though my team did horrible and I got shot within 2 minutes in the head. The flanked us enough to get behind us. Good times.

      Ahhh the join of child hood-

      Age: 14? 13?
      Gun: Spyder Shutter- The old red ones w/ a bottom line!!! i had a good one!!!
      Location: Home-made Field- Waukesha, Wi
      What I did:
      Well, the "Speedball field we had there was set up to be like a speedball field sort of, but we really didnt know aobut that kind of PB at that time. We all had like Tippys, and some of us had some ol' skool Spyders n stuff.. Well, my sisters boyfriend at the time loved paintball and i urged him to take me out there!!! I can remember my first game really well. It started out yelling Go, Go, Go... paint blasting, i get behind my bunker, and as a n00b i was totally afraid to get shot, but i wanted to get it over with. I was playing with my knee so far out, i got shot right in the side of the knee. I was like, ahh that didnt hurt at all... im so cool!!!

      But, like after that i was so scared to play Paintball... like, if it was 2 on 1 or 1vs 1 i would try and shoot myself... hhahahah!!! i was so scared of getting shot!!! i was probably the worst one ever...

      Now, i dont care if i get shot and i run open field and do run throughs all the time, not thinking twice if i got shot or not. Hell... i probably play on all the time sorry refss....

          I ran around in the woods with a buddy's Talon scared to death and got shot in the mouthpiece of his Brass Eagle mask. Yum.

              This was back before paintballs, in my day we shot marbles at each other. You had to be tough and rugged, try to wipe a marble hit noobxur. Me and Dan Quayle invented the first matrix and patented the crip walk back then, good ole days. We wore stainless steel masks with bars on the front, you learned not to get shot back then. I could only carry 2 pods because marbles weigh alot. Anyways, it was the annual rock n sock paintball tourney in Detroit, 10 man event. It was my team and Henry Fords team in the finals. I shot at least 3/8 of their team off of the break, and finished up the other half while making a run through inside a bunker. My team looked pretty cool the entire game though, so I gave them all high fives. That was a pretty exciting day, boy has paintball changed.

                  My friends birthday party. Awesome field, massive redwood trees, on a hillside. Somehow in my very first round I managed to creep my way all the way down the hill to the other team's base. I was 8' from the first of three defenders who were all looking up the field as I was standing there lining up my shot on their side. I shoot....and nothing! The closest guy turns and gogs me.

                  Turns out that just before crossing a creek halfway down the field my hopper fell of my marker! I wasn't used to the weight so I didn't notice. Totally blew the chance to take out 3+ guys and get the flag in my very first game!

                    well, I'm not pro..considering I only played ONE time...which was my first time :)

                    Played full tournmant of 8 games of 5 man, Spent the whole time in the rear can, seeing as not only my first game first time I also fired a paintball gun, and got shot at with others firing paintball guns. Don't think I actually shot anyone .... Got shot too many times to list. Though my very first hit I took in the side of the head right above my ear. that hurt something pretty dang bad (thank you to Cannon-Fodder of Team POG). But, I had a great time and can't wait to play again!! :)

                    Thank you!

                      I went with a friend that had a walmart gun sadly. He got me into playing. I had these free coupons to go and play (free field fee) The first time I played it I got hooked. Adrenaline pumping though my veins. I needed more , so I starting coming regally. First it was every other week and for a few hours. I had a crap load of fun. I played rec for about 1 1/2 years then air ball and x ball for the next year. I love paintball :)

                          It was 1993. Three friends of mine and I went out to one of the parks in our area with a lot of wooded area and campgrounds. Yes, I know that's illegal and yes, I know that's not that safe. I was 17 at the time, so that didn't occur to me much then. At least it was fall, so there really wasn't anyone in the park at the time anyway. We donned our camoflauge and set about stalking each other. We all had olive drab colored Splatmaster Rapides, which were quite possibly the most inaccurate weapon devised by mankind. One of the guys we went with had a Stingray (if memory serves me correctly), which meant that since he wasn't recocking every shot he was the stuff. He also had one of the early versions of a grenade...I don't know...something like one of those Tippmann Squadbusters (that didn't work all that well either).

                          Anyway, we spent several hours hiding in and out of the trees, stalking each other, getting some good kills and ducking out of sight whenever a Ranger vehicle would come by. We never got caught, but I did get hooked into this great sport for life. It's funny now, but I think back on those crappy inaccurate Splatmasters and think of how much fun that was. I couldn't shoot 30 bps then, but it didn't really matter.

                              Home on leave just after boot camp. My younger brother had been playing a woods game called "paintball" with his friends. He asked me if I'd like to go play paintball at this paintball field near here. Yah, it sounds like fun so I agreed. At the time I knew nothing about paintball. We got there and had a pretty good time most of the day until the unthinkable happened. I was crawling up the right tapeline. The very most edge of the wooded field field when all of a sudden I got shot from the right. I 'm flat on the ground, but I imediatly raise my marker and yell I'm out like the the refs told us to do in the morning. In that same spilt second I wondering why I got hit from the right? cheating? I don't really know what happened next. The team that we were against had these autococker things and had alot of playing time under there belts. I was shot by 3 of them guys relentlessly on the ground at very close range. I remember screaming to stop, I'm out and trying to get away. I took multiple direct hits to the jewels and well everywere else as I tried to get away! I couldn't get away. They just kept on shooting! I ended up just rolling down the hill till I was out of range and draged myself to the dead box. At this point I was just bleeding like a stuck pig front and back! "Where was the refs", I wondered? I remember there was a guy in the dead box with me who gave me the best advice ever. I was so PO'ed, hurt and could barely stand. I asked him what one needs to fight off those autococker guys. He then told me, "thoughs guys are dicks you should buy a mag". It was like the sky opened up with a burst of light from the heavens! A realization like no other! Since I got my first mag I've never been punked like that ever again, Refs are way better and I still have a special dislike for Cockers.

                                What I did: Was at Mare Island Paintball in 1997, using their rental semis. My friend and I (it was both of our first times playing) went out, not knowing what to expect. We decided to stick together. We stayed near the back of the woods fields, sitting behind a big piece of plywood. I couldn't see anyone, so I peeked my head over the top. Still couldn't see anything so I kept my head over the top. All of a sudden, POP, my vision turns green. I walk off the field, not having shot a single shot, and my friend meets me in the staging area about 30 seconds later...with a green mark on his lens.
