Anybody into painball ?

XAGSV8 · 02-10-2005, 11:26 PM

Work paid for it a couple of weeks ago and it was the best fun I have ever had. Sounds morbid but hearing the screams of the people I work with when I shot them at close range was so funny. In four hours I only got shot 7 times. Funniest thing on monday though was everybody walking around like zombies, not from being shot but the excercise involved. Now everybody is thinking of making a team up to play touraments.

Here is a little flash game I found, my best is 198. It looks very similar to one of the area's at the local paint ball.

I used to be bigtime into paintball.. we went heaps.. at least once a month, if not twice.. for about a year or two..

We took it heaps serious though.. was lots of fun.. camo netting, playing sniper games etc..

My mate works at Paintball Australia sometimes (casual).. we're gunna try get back into it soon if he can hook us up to make it a bit cheaper (going lots ends up being expensive.. but it's addictive!)

Did it once, mad fun. Even when you're playing against ex-commandos.

The best was when we had to defend a hill, 4 of us behind a fallen tree taking on wave after wave of guys coming out of the valley. We held out for a while but 4 vs 10 doesn't work very well!

Yeah played a couple of times, it's a helluva lotta fun! It's a bit expensive, but worth it.

My Husband played a couple of weeks ago. He took a bit of a battering. Got himself a few nasty bruises and even drew a bit of blood, but I suppose that is half the fun of it all. Had a great time though.

It's funny how you start out the first day, nail someone, stop and say "oh I say, are you allright old chap?"

By the end of the day you're screaming "die, motherf@&ker!" as you shoot people in the kneecaps and smile as they fall. And that's your own team...

gozza · 03-10-2005, 12:26 PM

well i live in bris
i'm keen as mustard for a forum day
who wants to give it a go....or who thinks its a pointless time waster

Stevo · 03-10-2005, 12:28 PM

Yeah, i used to play it regularly.
First few times i was too scared to get shot, and felt kinda bad about getting a real good shot on someone.

After that i was hunting them down and making them beg for mercy. If they didnt surrender i would shoot to kill.

There was talk about an eseries paintball day a while ago wasnt there? We need to get something happening!

gozza · 03-10-2005, 12:35 PM

Hahahah so true!!

I LOVE paintball. Been 3 or 4 times. It kills you that night, once the adrenaline stops and the aches kick in, but it's SO much fun.

A forum day would be awesome.

ratter · 03-10-2005, 06:36 PM

I've played once or twice ;)

We had a paintball team which we used to compete for a few years, travelling to QLD, NSW, ACT and SA (Vic based), we used to train every 2nd sunday.

It wasn't uncommon for each player on a 5 man team to shoot 400-600 paintballs in a 10 minute game on a speed ball feild.

Excelent fun

max^power · 03-10-2005, 06:41 PM

convinced me to give it a go. how big do the teams need to be?

ford v holden would be a great team match :evil_laug

If you are playing bush feilds, could have 20 or more a side, depending on how much area there is, but you don't to play large bush feilds with out enough players, not much action

One last thing, you can't legally play in Vic unless you have a shooters permit

GTFORDMAN · 04-10-2005, 01:47 PM

ive been once in bisbane at night, i kept gett'n shot in the damn neck i think somthing like 5 or 6 times! the next day it looked like id been to a bucks night, it was supposed to be all fun but a few times it almost went from paintball to boxing - and that was within my own team!, but still it was the best fun i had in a long time (once every thing settled down)

chief · 04-10-2005, 08:33 PM

Been to paintball heaps of times.
In the game listed in Post 1 I scored 1525, killed 64 soldiers and was on level 3.

phoon · 04-10-2005, 08:54 PM

I hope you mean paintball, not painball. Paintball is a blast, Im cringing and Ive broken into a cold sweat at the thought of painball.

Feathers · 04-10-2005, 09:19 PM

** Sorry, double post.**

Feathers · 04-10-2005, 09:32 PM

This is the place I've been to in Sydney. Awesome bush fields.
Plus when you book a group, you get a BBQ lunch as well, and there are/were vouchers given to the organisers.

I haved played several tournaments at action paintball and they have great fields and if I can remember rightly normally have great rental equipment.

Venomous · 05-10-2005, 08:11 PM

Yeah i wanna have a go sometime soonish with some mates from school. After one on the gold coast or near it. Also say for a beginner how many paintballs would u need for say a 2/3 hour game. Sounds like a lot of fun. Yea so anyone know any cheap playing fields near the Gold Coast?

According to thursday herald sun, this law has now been changed and apparantly the field in carrum downs will be made open to the public again in 2006
