Paintball

BigSi:
Probably going to play tactical scenario paintball. Just bought a Tippmann A-5 with flatline barrel and six position car stock, running on air as it hard to find somebody to fill C02 bottles.

Just trying to find some woodland, to play in.
 :D  :D  :D  :D

Bulli:
Most sites will fill your bottles for ya.

Buy some gloves...if you havent already, those hands are very vunerable. Buy some knee and elbow pads as they help when you are diving around.
A5 is a good marker, flatline gives it a lot of accurate range.

Main thing have fun...and anyone who tries to pretend they havent been hit...pagger them, they soon give up!!

ditch the NBC suit they are too warm.... way too warm.

BigSi:
I cut the charcoal lining out of the NBC suit, so its quite light (not good for protection thou!), I’ve got some camo glove too somewhere…..notice the theme I’m going with!

Went to a few paintball sites here in Cornwall, but apparently a law was brought in about six months ago, stating that sites can not fill C02 bottles for external use (something about insurance?).  :roll:  :roll:

If you only want a little CO2 then make friends with a pub landlord, and old teacher used to run the schools welder on pub gas.


Getting your own gear, someones serious. Personally i've never got to that level, the best i've had is when one of the oposition droped their gun (we were all using hired) through a hatch by mistake which left me playing rambo with someone elses ammunition :twisted:

Learn from the mistake of a friend of mine which is not to smoke granade a door way and then charge through it firing forwards. I was in front of him but crouched very low and there were 2 others on each side of the door. His chest was a sight at the end of the day and he nevr got a hit on use in return.

shaun and co:
odd as it sounds pub co2 is the wrong sort! it is co2 gas and you need co2 liquid or youll only get a few shots off. havent heard about this law change- i still fill bottles for use off site and my insurance company dont have a problem with it. there are a few solutions though if you are still stuck.
Tippmanns are the most reliable marker on the market when it comes to them being dumped in a muddy puddle and still working- i remember an old promo video where they drove a tank over one picked it up and shot somebody with it!
Main thing though is to have some fun and shoot them more than they shoot you!!!
