so I got threatened with a hammer today...

[iambored]

If someone went at me on a paintball field with I'd shoot them, it's self defense. No one does anything stupid like that at a place that is already under constant media fire. If I couldn't shoot em I club em with somethin hard, like a chair, barrel, etc.

Has the guy showed up since? (I wouldn't show my face after my brother had to stop me from doing somethin stupid like that.)

When the ref is going over the rules, make sure they emphasize what to do to call yourself out, and review with hammer boy again if necessary.

When I get hit, I make sure that everyone on the field hears me hollar "The man's hit, let him out!!!" Gun goes shoulder height, barrel pointed skyward.

Only time I have been bonus balled was accidental when I was walking down the tape line and too close to the line of fire from a guy that was shooting at a guy in a bunker still playing...

That's the general thing we down here.

Once someone is hit, and we know it's a confirmed hit, the shooter or someone witnessing a break on another player will shout, 'Let him out!' and it gets the point accross.

What's wrong with shooting till they call themselves out? You don't know if any broke on them. The ref hasn't called them out, so in your mind, you haven't shot them out yet. Maybe all your shots bounced. Until the ref calls someone out, you have no other choice.

If they come at you, take it outside. If they want to be immature about being overshot because they don't have the sense to call themselves, give them a good workover. Don't lose the damn fight tho lol.

I have yet to play a field where everyone is honest enough to to stand with gun up and get off the field every time

I am sorry to say if I shoot you and you don't jump up and get off the x-ball field I don't have the time to wait or turn my side to you in hope that your honest and just taking your time to get off the field - you will be shot at until you raise the gun and get off , and I do don't get all mad when its done to me after all its x-ball move fast shoot fast and if you don't get out fast expect bonus shots it the nature of the game

if you can't handle it -play laser tag or air soft

Good point. Girls play this sport and do just fine. If you have to whine like a baby after getting bb'ed, you aren't mature enough to play.

It is sad after all it's just a game. In 100 years nobody is going to care if you won or lost. Why can't people just play for fun? Sounds to me like that kid needs to grow up.

Tell ya what, let me come play on your field and you do that crap to me, I wont need a hammer cause Im putting my foot up in your 4th point of contact.

You should respect the other players on the field, even if they are showing you none. The ability to control yourself is what makes you a man, not how many time you can over shoot someone.

IRONY.

Oh man, I lol'd.

[SCpoloRicker]

edit....keep it in FK, Second warning.

I suggested this a while back, namely reserving goofing off for FC and making a solid effort to be helpful and polite in PB talk. I'd support the idea again.
Count me in.

We're missing the important question, gentlemen.


Who abandoned a perfectly useful hammer?

[gus13]

well when he picked it up everyone started yelling and my wife (who was standing next to him) told him to drop it or she'd be kickin' his butt, and of course he dropped it, now whats really funny is this is the guy that did it;

he's supposed to be the Captain of his team!
oh and yeah I see him everyday cuz we work toegther, on the same job, so Ihave seen him since,and his story's already changed like 3 times. ie, he never picked up the hammer to begin with or he grabbed the hammer but it was "stuck in a board" (don't ask me I don't have a clue!) whatever was most conveniant for him at the time, but I didn't have to listen to it cuz I was put on a different job today, YAY RIBEYES!

For a guy to be that mad, you guys must have laid a few great ropes out there.
