Paintball anyone?
Does anyone here play paintball? I've been playing paintball now for about 10 years and love it. I love speedball and shoot a 2003 Bob Long Intimidator Z series and a 2001 Dark AutoCocker. What kinda paintball guns do you guys have and if so what style paintball you like to play?

I play on occation - got a Bob Long Millenium. Nothing special. The boys and I enjoy finding some private land (read: w/o tresspassing & w/o other people in the area) and play a variety of games... we really just like to shoot at each other!

Yeah, the fields are pretty expensive to play on. Out here in Los Angeles though land is at a premium and people would get all up in arms if we just walked on public land and started playing. I just started using my Bob Long Intimidator and man do you go through the paint! I went throungh a full case in half a day!

i have not played paintball yet, but have practiced with sim-rounds when doing SWAT or MOUT training. they are basically 9mm or .223 rounds that shoot a plastic projectile with paint in side and they bring the sting!

Alpena?! 
225 miles would be a record commute to play... may have to make a golf/fish/whatever & paintball weekend trip of it!

Thanks King, I look forward to meeting Wezol. Yeah Combatcop my friend is in the Marines and gave me a 9mm round with the paint tip your talking about. I guess it uses just the primer to fire the round. I haven't used it yet. They use to make this painball gun years ago and it looked like an UZI but it used shotgun shells and small caliber paint! My dad reloads shotgun shells just need to find some small caliber paint! LOL j/k

I paint with my buddies. I have a Tippmann Pro-carbine. It has an ACI subzero expansion chamber, 16" Smart Parts Teflon coated, cross drilled barrel, and a VL electronic loader. Its nothing fancy, but is a good all around marker. We have a little spot a few miles from my house (only half a mile as the crow flies....you can tell you are in the boonies 
). It has a stream, thick woods, open field, and an area with a lot of fallen trees for some good close combat stuff. We dont normally have set games we play, but we have been known to hit up some capture the flag and escape. I havent played in about two years though. Im sure I am rusty.

Excellent - our golf games are alike! Perhaps sneaking the paintball guns on the course is in order - I can see the mayhem now... trying to drive a golf cart, swing my beer and sqeeze off a few rounds at your cart...

lol thanks for the compliment Triton. I like your idea about the annual FTE paintball wars, that would be awesome. We could find a bunch of land and go muddin and then play paintball on that land
