The best part of paintball for me is the buying a new gun and upgrading to make it better and higher performance.:)
The worst part about paintball is that it can be very expensive for some:mad:

I agree too.
The $$$ part is one of the biggest downsides. Ah well.

The price of everything is definitely the worst thing about paintball. All the good things beat the bad things though... by far. I have a job now and it's not too too bad....

the worst part is the recognitiont hat we dont get, people think paintball markers are child games and are toys. another bad thing that makes me mad are those punks who use markers as a way of vandalisim. but a good thing about paintball is the adrenaline rush u get when your off the break.

The Best part about paintball for me is running all the way to the 50 and haveing your body rushing insanely with adrenalin:D I've played football for 6 years at Middle Linebacker trying to strive for that rush but only Paintball can fill my needs!
The worst part about paintball is definatley the cash flow! I need more money lol:laugh:
Its all good though paintball domiantes all !!

i think the best thing is being able to play a 3 on 9 game and winning. especially when the kid that wins it for you takes out 3 ppl with no paint, that has to be one of the best things.
the worst thing is defeinetly the cash problem.... i dont really mind buying paint and stuff, its the things like jerseys and stuff that look cool, but you dont really need them you just want them but they cost so much. if all the new dye stuff was like 20 bucks cheaper, i would own like 4 sets, but nope, way to expensive.

Hmm, yes paintball is expensive... like stated above a million times... BTW, can paintball be considered a real/official sport?

Hopefully Xball will give pball a more "sporty" look instead of a game.

The best thing is that it's a sport ANYone can get good at. Fat, skinny, young, old, whatever.....the look on the 8 year old nerdy kid with glasses' face when he shoots out the bully that has tormented him for years is priceless. I had the opportunity to see it, I should know.
The downfall is of course, the price, which is already waaay too low, and as a result wil never be lower and will leave paintball inaccessible to so many people.

now that i think about it the best thing about paintball really is the price. just think about it, back about 10 years ago paint was double the cost it is today and markers were a lot more expensive for what u got. and even if we think the price is a little high it keeps some people that just want to use them to vandalize stuff away from paintball(though we still have this problem)

Yeah I can agree with you. I think these paintball company's are trying to give you the "Best Bang for the Buck"

The worst part about paintball is when your gun doesn't work and you can't figure out how to fix it. Hey, by the way does anyone know anything about Black Draguns?

Paintball costs nothing compared to alot of sports. Dirty Bikes, Snowmobile, Fourwheeling, Driving. Think how much most of them people spend on them. Most people spend more than most people spend on paintball.

A great thing about paintball is finaly getting your upgrade in the mail and putting it on your gun for the first time. then it's time to put on your jersey and your mask and pretend to snapshoot around couches and stuff:)

The best part is the adrenaline rush!!!
The worst part is people who take it to seriously and take the fun out of it for everyone with their whining and complaining etc...

I think the worst part is the addiction. Then comes money.

The best part of paintball is...The adrenaline rush you get, the idea that you are different and not in all the mainstream sports, and how people ask you all sorts of stuff about it when your one of the only people that play in your school...the worst part is the addiction, yes, i now play every weekend, and i dont know how i make it through the week without going insane from not playing, i dont know how i used to manage it when i played maybe 4-5 months between. also, people who vandalize and people who blindly judge it and condemn it.

ooooh, this is a good thread:)
Best-est-es
-Browsing the 'net saying "ooooh, I could get that someday.."
-yelling "CHECK HIM REF!!"
-Hearing the sound of the break of a 10-man game.
-Meeting someone who normally you would NEVER talk to, and talking to them for a hour then becoming good freinds with them just because you guys have paintball in common.
-Bunkering the guy who thinks he's the sh-t because he has every article of clothing that that-high-end-company makes.
-Having a good time at the field.
-Stuffing your face with taco bell after a whole day of play (me and my freind to that every single day after we go paintballing).
Worst-est-es
-The $$$
-Pros yelling "the ****ing dorito is on me! get the **** out of there! you're ****ing gone! yeah, get your pansy- *** in the dead box"
-Chris Lasoya
-Jeremy Salm
-the guys at the field that whoop-up and bunker all the newbs because those are the only people they can take out.
-When you think you have the best head-turning gun on the field, then that OTHER guy with that OTHER gun shows up :mad:
-When you need $450.00 to buy an '02 shocker while that price lasts, but you just spent $400.00 on a big fish tank last night.
-I really hate that last one.
that's all.

The best part of paintball is just the adrenalin rush you get off the break or when your going to bunker somebody, i love stuff like that.
The worst part of the sport is by far other peoples attitudes on the sport. A majority of the people out there who dont pb dont even think its a sport, they think its just pull the trigger and thats it, you shoot at each other while running around like maniacs, i know it shouldnt but it gets me very mad when i hear people thinking how paintball really is. Also the people who say pb is gey and they never even tried it before are pretty retarded too. Peoples ignorence on the sport is by far the worst part. And untill it becomes more known amongs peoples its always going to be that way.
best stuff-
-looks on spending that much money for a new gun
-10 man break out (all that paint:D)
-going to a paintball store for only 5 min and walking out 60 min later
-going to work after words (my manager first thought i was being abused :rolleyes:
bad-
-stupid lil kids with angels
-spending car money, lol
-my friends think im crazy (oh wate, thats a good thing)
-these dang posting boards (joking)
