Just wonderin' if there are many paintballers on the board. If so, do you like speed ball, woods, and what type of gun do you have?

I just moved to Virginia from Coloradoa couple months ago and as much as I dislike this state the paintball fields are very good! My Etek3 is finally getting some good use, and I have to say, if anyone is thinking of picking up the sport and buying your own equipment an Etek 3 is probably the best gun you can get for the money.

Used to paintball. I like woodsball and I used a 98 Custom. So expensive though. Then I discovered airsoft and airsoft instead of paintball these days. Wish there were more airsoft players around though with AEGs.

I own two paintball guns. Both nice ones. But it's too expensive to do that often!

My issue with airsoft is that the bb's or whatever you call them dont go that far and it relies too much on the person to admit they are hit, and people are not that honest. People cheat in paintball, dont get me wrong, but its much more unforgiving if someone takes exception and decides to light you up. Its usually a hard painful lesson.

I used to play when I was in highschool with a mixture of woods and speedball. Last gun I bought was a 2003 Autococker which was a really really nice gun but now the Autococker and Tippman 98 (non-custom) just sit at my parents house collecting dust.

I've done it a few times, and I really like it. I don't have my own gun though. I usually only play woodsball with friends, as speedball is just a waste of paint to me.

It's a jolly good time. A local paintball company used to sponsor this event out in the boonies on milti-acre woodland, complete with bunkers, sniping posts, and lost of camouflage amenities. It was roughly 70 vs 70 people and it got really intense.

It doesn't shoot very well though, it chops balls excessively. I have to do some work to it or something.

I would if I had enough money to support in on a regular basis. When it comes down having around $40-50 a month I would rather purchase a video game or an album that will last me hundreds of hours to one paintball outing that will last me only four. When I did play though I normally played Speedball as that was all my field offered, though I would much rather play woodsball. I currently own a WGP 2004 Sniper II Pump marker with a homebrewed 14 round stick feed.

I go once or twice a year, so I just rent a gun, it's pretty fun though. I just hate getting shot from really close up (10 feet and under), it stings quite a bit.

Only if you live in America. That orange tip law is stupid anyways, just gives false security.

Indeed it does. But if a superficial law such as that shuts some people up, then I'm all for it.

Nope. I always wanted to probably 8 years ago. Me and some now ex-friends were supposed to all buy some cheap guns and stuff but I was the only one who got one. Still have it. It came with a nice cheap PC paintball game. It was like realistic fps for paintball. They should make something like that modern warfare 2 but with Paintball. They could probably come up with some insane things. Anyway, what yeah no the Furthest I went was buying a magazine about paintball lol. But I will be hoping that Greg Hasting Paintball 2 game is worth getting.

Isn't the bipod getting in the way? Never heard of any airsoft gun with any sort of recoil that needed to be managed... I wouldn't like trying to run through a bush with that thing, I'd spend the next 5 minutes being shot to hum death? I guess you like the looks of it, which I do too tho hehe. I personally play paintball, I bought a gun last year (Tippmann 98 Custom ACT) which is really great and didn't cost all that much (Around 200$) I recently bought a coil line and a longer barrel and I'm having a blast playing from time to time with my friends in the woods. If you don't go to a field, paintball is pretty cheap, you bunch up and buy some 2000 balls box for 40$ and you're set for the day.
