Here we go, baby..

[V]

I didnt get my gun yet, my friend just called and said I could borrow one of their guns (Might be a Tippman 98, I know he has one, and he doesnt use it) and go with them. I have to run on the little 2 oz. tanks, they have an adaptor.
I threw on my regular socks, a pair of wool ones over them, and boots. then a pair of long underwear, shorts, sweat pants, then another pair of camo sweats over that.
then a black t-shirt, a long sleeved green long underwear, and my DX shirt. Im gonna put a camo sweatshirt over it when I get there. DX army, baby. haha

They're on their way, so Ill let everyone know how my first paintball games go, I'm probably gonna get schooled!

Hope you had fun ... and by the way, it must be F'ing Cold where you play. It was 80 degrees here today, just in my regular BDU pants and Raven Jersey, I was sweating like a pig.

Where do you live muck?

[PBSouLjAh]

omg why do you put on so much clothes? is it cuz ur afraid its gonna hurt or is it cuz its like negative degrees over there?!? dude...if ur just afraid of gettin shot...ur gonna be sweatin like crazy. and its not a very nice state of being. sweating, sticky, mask is foggy, foam on mask is nasty, smell of paintballs and sweat is not very pleasant either.

he's in florida, it's crazy here in ohio, it was 60 yesterday but today it's like 33

I'll vouch for that. It may snow tonight here in southern Ohio. Hope it gets cold, I'm playing tomorrow. I like playing in the cold so I can put a couple layers on and, uhhh, not get hot ;)

Sunny Central Florida, three seasons, Spring, Summer and December ... We seemed to have skipped spring this week and moved straight into Summer.

I wore that much cause it's frickin freezin out, and thats what made us stop. The other peoples C02's were acting up, and like 3 guns weren't working, not too mention we were all freezing.

Well, let me say, it wasn't a tippman.. it was a Sting Ray. Heh, big difference,eh? But I didnt think the stingray was that bad, its not like I've shot any better of a gun before.
The only problem was I had to use the 12 gram tanks with adaptors. I got like 10 shots per tank!
that sucked.

My first paintball hit was when my teammates were already gone, and the other team heard my c02 run out. I had to relaod but they attacked, and I got nailed in the hip. It didnt hurt, not even a little, as I expected.
So now that the first game jitters were gone... I started to do bett- no no, wait, I still sucked.

I got nailed in the side of the head trying to put a new tank in, and also Straight on in the mask.

I had tons of fun, even though the gun,tanks, and mask all sucked. I can't wait till I get my anti-fog mask (The fog was driving me crazy today!) my Spyder Compact, and 12 ounce tank.

All in all, really fun, but it would have been better to hit someone.
haha

All of you might as well be in the bahamas because I live in Canada eh! Nova Scotia to be exact. Right now there is about 2-3 feet of snow and like -10 degrees CELCIUS. not ferhienheit. I'm going paintballin tomorrow with my new ras intruder atx, diablo skull mask, 12oz tank, and new camos. This is going to be fun and cold. brrrr... aw well, it is worth it to go paintballing, yeehaw!!

I always wear a hooded sweatshirt when I play, it's a bit hot, but I got one word for you that think it's a bad idea. Bounces!! i go out and it's like I'm paint repellant :)
