Paintball Options

[Geallor]

I was wondering if there are any paintball fanatics out there. Myself and Corrin are in a small tournament this weekend. Four man teams with Halo like scenarios. I'm hoping I do better than I do on Cassino.



Anyway:

Spyder AMG w/T-board

Ricochet Hopper

Crossfire 64/4500 tank

J & J 16" barrel

High Performance Air Valve



Corrin

Has a Spyder with E-trigger

Whisper Barrel

and modified bolt



It's Cassino for real!

This thread brings back some memories! I started playing in 1986! Most people had never heard of it. I lived in Ohio and the only other people we were in contact with were in California. I had the original Sheridan "paint marker gun". I remember the first "splatmaster" all plastic gun. Later I purchased the original fully-auto Tippman. It used a smaller caliber, .280 ball I think.

I may still have the premier issue of Paint Ball Games Magazine floating around here someplace. Tournaments were a rare thing at first and required much travel so we basically just tried to rally as many friends as we could and head out into the woods and various versions of capture the flag. Lot's of great stories. The neatest thing of what we did back in the day as compared to today, is that we limited everyone to a just a couple/few tubes of balls. (Huge gravity feeders were not around much yet). The limited ammo made stealth a mandatory skill, and strategy was so important.

Some of the best moments were times we would establish bases in the woods the evening before and the we'd start play at Midnight. Man your mind does some serious freaking out as you walk thru the woods in the pitch dark by yourself jst waiting for a ball to come wipping through the air at 320fps right into your goggles!!
Talk about nearly pissin' yourself.
