Ultimate Force Paint Ballers .

[Sir James]

I went paintballing today in Seaham , first time ever and had heard a few horror stories of one or two of the members of this forum

It was outdoor with four different courses and was a cross between Beirut and the wild west

A safety talk was given by a young boy who kept calling me dude

Then we met the opposition ................:eyesdown

Black suits you, makes you look years younger

 

[STUBBS]

baggy boiler suits make you look shorter as well, like giant romper suits

 

[Sir James]

A lethal cross of Sumo and Ninja

Therewas plenty of

But we didn't

Apparently it's called making yourself a smaller target

PS......................It don't hert so much when your hit from behind

We got teamed up against a bunch of TA guys when we went. Cheating b&st%rds took it way to serious, refusing to die and wiping the paint off when they were hit.. I also learnt that it's not a good idea to go paintballing when it's really cold; the paintballs didn't always split - it was like getting hit with solid shot ...ouch!

I used to be in a team many years back. When we played the TA we wiped the floor with them. The organizers made us lose the last game so that we didn't whitewash them!!!!!

Went paintballing near Knutsford with the kids for a birthday party last year. I had the hangover from hell after a bit of a bender the night before, which was down to my neighbour's cheap plonk. (Suppose I could have drunk less of it ) We were a team of 8, Ian and I the only "adults" with 6 spotty adolescents doing Rambo impersonations . Our opposition were an office team, containing 3 reasonably attractive women, but of course, you couldn't tell which was which in the boiler suit and helmet combo.
First game was a "raise the flag", where you have to pull a string to raise the flag on a small stockade, and keep it there for one minute. The kids voted me to be the flag man, and they would provide covering fire. This would have been fine, if they hadn't been crap at avoiding being shot themselves! I had got to the flag, was lying on the floor behind the stockade holding the string, and looking through a gap in the planks, when the opposition realised there was only me left. With 15 seconds to go, a couple of them rushed the stockade, from my prone position I could only see legs, but managed to get both of them in the thigh area. The screams told me one of them was a woman, and I wouldn't be on her list of favourites for the day. (Should I have offered to kiss it better?)
Later on, there was a game in a spread of trees, which lasted ages. No one was moving, and the trees were gradually turning orange. I had found that the pellets took a good swing to the right and down, and had wasted a few shots proving this on someone who thought I couldn't hit them. When they moved slightly, the next shot hit what must have been a "him", right in the nads! He dropped like a rock, I felt quite guilty for a second or two!
As with all things, my comeupance came later, when I was ambushed by their team and hit around seven times, two of the bruises lasting for a week.
After the game, one of the women on the other team commented that they knew which one I was, by my eyes. They were a trifle bloodshot, but I didn't realise it was that obvious through the goggles. "Oh yes," she said " we nicknamed you Darth Maul!"

Did you let the hens out first?

Got hit full on in the mouth from close range when the crap visor supplied had worked it's way up a fraction. Split both lips, blood and red paint all over the place. Feck me, did it hurt, looked like I'd been shot in the face with a shotgun

On one of the afternoon games a group of sales people turned up from a local IT company and they had 2 ex forces lads with them Then one of the marshalls told us my team of 10 to 13 yr olds would be playing them

The game starts and it sounds like Zulu Dawn with all the screaming , these lads were also to serious and shot the smallest lad at point blank Marshalls removed the 2 men and made them wait at the tea hut When the kids went back for a snack the marshalls checked out the youngest for any serious damage but the spare hotdog put him right You should have herd the verbil abuse they 2 sales men gave the 10 yr old , however the hole group of kids turned on them and i couldn't stop laughing until the men started threatening the kids due to being humiliated infront of their work colleuges The marshalls told them to leave or he was ringing the police and would be informing his work about his conduct Then the kids started again with the micky taking and it was worse than before , hope i can remember some of their one liners

Oh and your right , it was freezing and the paintballs don't won't to burst
Here's the hotdog muncher :eyesdown
