I dont, but plan to try it sometime.

 

[AceChilla]

I played it once, I liked it but it's to expensive.

 

[WillJ]

I've played it twice, and I loved it. But for some reason I haven't gotten around to playing it again.

 

[MummyMan]

played it once and it was awesome, but its really expensive and i don't have that kind of money. and i'd rather snowboard

 

[DvR]

Never played it, but I'd really like to try sometime..

 

[SuperBeaverInc.]

I have never played paintball, but it looks like fun

 

[silver 2039]

No i have'nt but I want to try it.

 

[Civrules]

I would like to try it. I think it's a pretty cool game.

BTW, whats with the radioactive monkeys?

 

[Mano3]

Played once and had fun! It really taught me what supressive fire is like and how little cover there really is in the forest.

Coincidentally, I'll be playing for the first time this monday night. A couple of colleagues from the UK at my work have organised an evening out of it.

Oh man I used to love paintball so much. One year when I was in college I was doing a cop-op job AND working part time on the weekend. I was making money faster then I could spend it and I was playing paintball ALL the time.

However now that I've moved into the real world I've found that it seems like a hell of a lot of money to shoot paint around. That and arthritis in my hip makes the crouching and squating movements painfull and difficult. I haven't played in probably 3 or 4 years now.

My marker is a "Spyder" (the original full size model and not that compact ones). I like it because you can put a butt plate on the 8 inch CO2 tank and it works as a very comfortable method of bracing the gun for longer range shots. Harder to fire from the jip in closed in spaces though I find.

I have a Spart Parts barrel on it - can't remember the exact size but it's long and cost me quite a ridiculous amount of money at the time (somewher in the $200 range).

I believe that i have an aftermarket venturi bolt in it as well but I can't remember if I DID buy it or only planned too. (and my gear is still all at my parent's house).

Man I used to love paintball. I've never played any game/sport that made me feel so ALIVE.

I play every once in a while. My marker is an older PMI pirranha with various upgrades that I have had for quite some time.

BTW I own in paintball. None of you can touch my skills.

How much does decent equipment cost?

 

[KaNick]

Decent marker for beginner ~ 200$. Mask ~ 20$. Co2 tank 20 - 50$. 1000 rounds of paint ~ 40$. 200 round hopper (clip) ~ 20$ for a basic hopper (recomended for beginner). Camo isn't nescesary but can come in handy.

I played it a couple times. I bought a gun but I dunno if it's good or whatever and it has a crap load of accesories. I went to a paintball store and told him to get me a good setup. I only played like 5 times though, it's fun but it isn't fun enough to invest time in except maybe once a year.

my gun:
Angel Speed Demon

Accesories:
A whole bunch, but dunno what they are!

 

[blackthorn]

I would love to try it. I just do'nt have the time and money to do so. I do have friends that play.

With the training I have it would be really fun.

 

[Esckey]

I paintball as much as possible. Which isn't all that often cause people are always busy with school or work or they just don't have the money. I don't own any gun but if I did it would be this really big rifle pretty sure it was a poison

 

[ComradeDavo]

I have played paintball about 3 times, enjoyed it alot, and now I tend to airsoft quite a bit because my friends have gotten into it and it's quite fun.

(airsoft is bb guns).
