Why are fat people so good at paintball?

[WickeDKlowN]

I'm 15(almost) 5'9" 200lbs. Shoot fast as hell, and I'm pretty damn accurate. Not the best runner tho. If have to, I can, but I don't normally like run that much.

My only prob is I have a small tank(PMI 48/3K) so I can't lay as much paint as I would like to.

its obviously because we get exited when people start naming bunkers after food.

we're allways joking with our back-men about taking a can of pringles in one pod pstrap thing and a sub-sandwhich in another and a coke in the other.But its funny some-times.

Hahaha its the bounces man... I get more bounces than anyone on the field... except more fat people.

but when I'm at the 50 I'll shoot your ***... ofcourse that takes till 10 minutes into the game for em to get there...

nah actually I'm starting to play front more even though I'm 5'10" and like 140-150lb 14years old. I can make it to the 50 if I want to... haha anyway I'm gonna go be a front player now... the fatass mofo who runs to the 50.

No offense but I think you just probably are not that good, for a big person like myself has problems in paintball, especially in the smaller bunkers and the "lightning" fast moves we make.

ive been playing like 7 years... I played the Pan Am circuit for 4 years on AMA's. I consitter myself pretty decent.

My point is that I find fat people more NATURALLY good at paintball. Doesnt mean every fat guy can beat every skinny guy. I'm 6'5" 210 (kind of thin):)

you get the idea

the best player at our local field is huskie... he skools everyone

There are two ways to look at this,
1. I was never that good at any other sports but with paintball It seems I am a natural
2. We the fat are just that damn good!

I got to see magking1971 play speedball at the AO Oregon event. First off he is not fat. Now I always was natural at most sports but I am definetely paintball challenged. I watched magking from the dead box and was amazed by his style of speedball play. He doesn't just stay in back laying on the paint but neither do the sprinting and sliding thing. Instead he chooses to move at the right times and moves up on people at a slow and indignant trot! It really pissed me off as I was always out and he was making it look so darn easy!!!

This one guy at a local field was pretty big, and he kicked some major arsh..

Also the first time my dad went (who's kind of fat, but not to fat) kicked some arse to.. He was like playing front n shiz, and then he lit up this skinny guy, lol.. And this was his first time, haha I thought it was funny..

Damn, im tired

LOL Yeah that is it.....

[Collegeboy]

Come to think of it I do get a lot of bounces. Even off my hopper. So the fatness spreads to all parts of my equipment too. Forget spidy sense, or any other lame "super" power, just eat and extra Big Mac and go ahead super size those fries. Then you will be great at paintball.

Do that! That was really fun. Your field is in eastern Washington correct? Give us plenty of notice so we can plan for the trek! This time, however, I don't want all the AO members shooting me out I want to actually get some of them first! If you can guarantee me that I'll be the prince of speedball players at the event I'll come out for sure.
