Dumbest thing you have done on a paintball field

[LaW]

Well i was cleaning the porting on my all american barrel like 2 years ago and i tip the marker upside down and dry fire... no pballs come out good none in the breech... well i cover the top with my hand to clean the porting and bam hehe my hand hurt.... but not really it was just really numb.

dead mans walk that went wrong.. now i know the "true" meaning to being lit up.. wow most pain(t)full experiance of my paintball career

[personman]

Oh, heres another. Diddnt happen on a field, but it was really dumb. I was recording an action figure movie thing that wuz supposed to be funny, with chalk citys on my driveway and stuff, and little mcdonalds toys, and I was shooting the city with paintballs, and once I was out, I started dryfiring at my friend, who was holding the camera, and after the 5th dryfire, a ball came out and hit his @$$ from two feet away

2 summers ago, i was on a speedball field that had spool bunkers. at the 50 on both the left and right tape there was a giant spool (my favorite place off the break)

So I hit the left one, and straight ahead of me there is an opposing player....doesn't see me. I can't see him either, but I know he is there because fire is coming from there. I think, "If I can bunker that dude, I will have a wide open shot at everyone else from there!"

Now, this field has a no bunkering rule. You don't shoot them, you yell "LIVE OR DIE!"

So I charge this bunker....come around and yell "LIVE OR DIE!" only there is no one there!!!!!! The guy was one more bunker back!!!! Needless to say, I had my lunch handed to me....and the ref that was on that side saw the whole thing....he bout hit the ground laughing so hard.

Mine was in a tournament. It was the last game of the finals and if we win we get first place, if we lose we get third. I was playing back right and my front player was 1 bunker up on the right tape.

The front player on the opposite side moved into a bunker right in front of my front player. I saw him move and tried to get him on the run but I blasted my front player in the back!

Needless to say, we got third place.

I got a pretty good one:

The first tourney I went to was a 3-man novice. The second game we played, we cleared the field in about 30 seconds. Only we didn't know it was cleared. So, the three of us, stand there with our guns pointed at the other end of the field, keep yelling at each other, "ARE THERE ANY LEFT? HOW MANY DID YOU TAKE OUT?" Finally, after about 20 seconds, one of our players grabs and hangs the flag. All the spectators were looking at us like we were morons.

To top it off, we came in last at the tourney .

I will get XspyX to post one of his up about a CTF game, opps I mean elimination so it didn't matter. He tells the story good....Anyway, I was playing one day at a scenario game comming back from the shop to get an air fill. I just got my Emag and I jumped into the scenario game and this massive fire fight. I had it on "E" mode and this guy asked for cover fire. I was like ok, I popped up and was getting ready to give cover fire until I realized that when I started firing like 20 balls nothing happened except my warp feed spun. Oh yeah, I forgot to take my battery key out! Needless to say the other guy got out and was pissed at me... Opps!

LOL! I did the same thing 2 Saturdays ago! lol! Off the break I run to a standup on about the 30, and I have a real nice shot of a guy on my mirror, I start hitting the trigger...nothing! My battery key is in! Oops!

ENDO!

Fell into a creek

I was playing a couple of weekends ago and I was trecking down a frozen creek. My friend was taping the whole game and got me falling in as the ice broke. Luckily mags can be submersed in water. HAHA. Needless to say it was a cold day.

[XspyX]

Ok, and now for my story:

This was back in the day when we were semi-newbs. We were playing a team of mags and we had or tipps/spyders. We were pretty intimidated by them. Anyway the game starts and I run to a nice bunker. I am almost mid field and I can see the flag in the middle. All I had to do was grab that and the game was over. I lean out the right side and pop a few shots which gets some kids head down. Then I make a break for it. I run and grab the flag. Gave over right? Then I hear the ref yell: Red has grabbed the flag! TOO bad this is elimination! I felt pretty stupid and I got lit up to boot!

It was a fun day though

[cphilip]

Playing hyperball for the first time. I am the only man left on our side. Three kids have me pinched, two directly in front, and one off to the right of me. I am running out of paint. They will not move in. I decide to make a move on them and go out in a blaze of glory or surprise and stun them one. So I step out firing like mad in bursts alternating between each of them and as I start to run...but...I trip over the hard pipe inflating the Bunkers that I never saw. Never look down! Stumbling and Falling...falling...falling....as they recover from their surprise and start to light me up. I spill to the ground my hopper flies off, my maker grip stabs me in the side knocking half the breath out of me and as I hit the ground my mask dislodges and comes nearly off. Skin the heck out of my elbow. Game is over. For just one split second as I can charging out I saw their eyes get big. I had em! I know I did. Dang it. Then my moment of glory passed as I felt the pipe with my foot and it was turned to shame. They called me "Wild Man" for the rest of the day though.

Fun day realy. They didn't talk smack to me the rest of the day after they quit laughing.

shooting the ref 4 time within 2 hours of play that was awkward but the most embarrasing thing i can think of is when i was outta balls and had to reload and someone bunkered me. i was so freaked out that the half that was in my hopper fell on the floor and the ones still in the tube went flying and went everywhere.

[rios_creos]

when i first started reading this thread i didn't think i had any bad experiences. then i started thinking...

#1
first time at a real field, 5 vs 5. me and my friend have played before the rest on our team are newbs. the other team has all played a little bit. (spyders and what not) i take out 2 players, my friend takes out 2. we figure theres 1 left. we were right. but we didn't know where he was so i went to hang my flag and got shot in the arse right as i hung the flag. no points for me. my friend got shot in the hopper and the newbies on the team got scared and ran and the guy with the spyder compact killed our entire team. needless to say, people thought he had an angel because he was so good, but it was a java spyder compact 2 in 1.

# 2
second game of the day at a field, (we missed the first game of the day because we had to cut our springs to lower our velocity), all newbies but 4 people out of 20. 2 on my team including me, 2 on the other team. (they just had stock spyders). we were VERY pumped up and were about to kick mad newbie arse. we our entire team ran to go around the other team (this was a very large field with woods and everything in it bout 3 acres total of field) and i see the guy on my team directly in front of me jump up, i figure its a stick so i keep following and jumped right after him.
I LANDED IN THE HOLE HE JUMPED OVER AND FELL. the elbow on my gun broke and my hopper fell off and the paint fell everywhere. my team left me to go get bunkers.
the other team saw me lying there and a kid with a mag shot me like six times in the leg. it didn't hurt cause he was far away but still. i had to buy a new elbow and missed that whole game.
