    Post how old are most of you guys?

    I am just wondering because last time i went paintballing i saw like 4 little kids with mags and thought it was kind of wierd. (waste of a good gun lol) It seemed to me before I had my mag that only older guys like 20's and 30's had mags. What about you guys?


    Oh yea by the way i am 16.

    I'm 20..

    More and more I see these 10-12 year olds with Angels, Shockers, nice Automags/Autocockers, and what have you. Most of them are back field bunker huggers, and barely even fire their guns.

    Hey, it's never a waste of a gun if the guy knows how to use it. I've played with this little kid, had to be about 8, who had a spyder with a boomie, reg, and force II cyclone bolt (one of the best), had to have cost about $600 to put together, but he could PLAY. He knew when to go gung-ho and when to be stealthy, when to advance and when to retreat, when to hold 'em, when to fold em... Uh, sorry. At that point, he'd been playing longer than I had. I've also reffed a group of 9-year-olds, having a birthday party, who surrendered en masse when paintballs started hitting the back bunker they'd been hiding behind the entire game (which at that point was almost a minute). Seen a kid with an angel, revvy, nitro and all, while his dad had an M98. Seen adults who hide in groups of 4 behind back bunkers, wishing their kids, who are playing tape and point, had never convinced em to come, and also vice versa. Some just have a knack for the sport, others take it too damn seriously.

    But enough about the paintball public. I'm 19, been playing on-and-off for about 3 1/2 years, whenever I have the money (which is not now )

    im 20.

    regarding little kids with kick ass guns, there are some kids that actually move and go around and kick ass. but then you have kids that don't do jack. i once saw a kid about 10 that had a blue dark angel and called himself out cus he couldn't move =]

    Well im 17 , been playing off and on for two years,and i still have alot to learn, but im definitly getting better. As for newbies hidding in the back i dont know why they do that, moving up and keep moving is the best part of the game for me if anything im too aggresive.

    Im 15(be 16 in a little bit) ive been playing for a little over 4 years. My playing is slowing down a bit cause i have to get a truck and need all the money Ive got for it. Im planning on getting a 98 Dodge Dakota R/T its gonna be pretty cool. After then i can actually play more cause i can get places.

    I'm 17 and been playing for 3 full years. I used to used birthday and christmas money to buy gun crap and parents bought paint but I've been paying for my own for a while now. I don't care what gun any body else has really, I just play. I've seen pumps I'd rather have on my team than Angels so it just depends.
