I'm so excited, I've never played until today. Leaving in two hours, and I got everything ready. 4 quick questions if you don't mind!

1) I have a Thermal JT mask, there is a little dust on the lens. How should I remove the dust?

2) Is it alright if I clean the barrel with water ( obviously when disconnected 2 the gun ) and then a towel tru it to dry it )?

3) If a ball does break, hopefully it won't, what should I do? ( PMI EXT Pro G3 )?

4) Can someone provide me with some tips to dominate today?

Thanks, hopefully someone can answer these! I'm so excited :)! Thanks in advance.

Well best of luck to you today.

1.For the lenses, just use a moist paper towel to clean it off and a dry one to dry it and you should be fine.

2. Water is perfectly fine to use for cleaning barrels.

3. If the ball breaks and you have a squegee try to clean it out. If not just turn your gun upside-down (so the paintballs are no longer feeding) and shoot it a few times. This should expell any excess paint in your barrel and breach.

4. lets see, tips...

Don't be afraid to get hit. Be aggressive especially if the other guys are new too, because that will be the single determining factor on who wins. Play close and tight (arms in head down) to your bunker (barricade) but not too close-- stay back far enough to give you a line of sight on your opponents but close enough to keep you from getting hit, and if they do start shooting at you where you are able to tuck in to keep from getting hit. Never stay in one spot for too long, keep moving up and advancing.

Thats just off the top of my head, but remember it's just a game so have fun! :)

be a team player and listen to senior players. If they have been playing a while they ask them what you should do and if it seems reasonable follow through. and dont be afraid to come out from your bunker or move up. If you dont know what somthing is ask the person politely and you will get a polite responce. Try and learn as much as you can and have fun.

Hey guys, just got back :)! THanks for the tips!

Well, I went 2 and 3 ( Shot 2 people, got hit 3 times ). Definetly didn't hurt as much as I expected, didn't hurt at all really, except one time

I didn't play scared at all, I rushed and in fact supported my team , for example, providing cover fire for someone to move.

We played woods ball, and one time I ran to hide behind a tree, and I saw one person moving to an open area with high grass. So I ran to catch him off guard, but when I got their, I didn't see him. I turned around, nothing, then turned back around to where the open area is, and he was sittin right there, 2 shots from like 10 feet away ( bunker? ). That hurt the most probably, but I was laughing :laugh:

Other than that, I had a blast! Couldn't have had more fun ( except baseball :) )! I play on going back to the field again Sunday.

Thanks for your tips, and thanks "have fun" responses :)!

Glad you had fun!

I remember the first couple times I played. I NEVER hit anybody. Now I'm getting average of two to three people out per game (I play speedball, not woods :eyes: ), so in time, I'm sure you'll be the one bunkering the newbies. :)

Man, oh man. Baseball over paintball? I play baseball a lot, and I'm pretty good at it, but nothing is more fun then paintball....The first times I went I never got anyone. My first time I got one guy, now I'm getting way more then 1 kill a game.

I can see where you guys are coming from, but I've been playing baseball my whole life. Right now, the high school team ( legion during summer ) is more important than paintball, even though paintball may be a little funner, baseball is still better :)

Keep working at it, and in the long run you'll be great, and paintball is your sport i guess :)

nawh i gave up on baseball a while ago. skating is my sport, and paintball. i tried basketball a few years back then noticed that i sucked at shooting, passing, dribbling, .... so my position was "bench". i dropped basketball too :)

you just played your first game of paintabll? u registered 6 months ago...weird

Woods Sniper

07-17-2003, 08:20 PM

There's some that register before they play, belive it or not. Ones that think woods is the bomb, and that they're snipers.... but once they play they prefer speedball, and play front instead of "sniper"....

07-17-2003, 08:26 PM

r u making fun of people that play in the woods and call themselves snipers?? cuz i think their name would be woods sniper

Yep, registered during the winter. Never got around to playing because of school baseball and school in general, adn weekends I was busy. now that summers here, Im playing like twice a week. Weird, i kno :)

but 2xs, where do you live and what is this legion thing you speak of? cause i've heard of that when i played american teams( i'm canadian)

American Legion is like a summer thing you do after your regular High School team is done. Usually you play other HS teams by you, but you can enter yourselves in tournaments. It's pretty much a team that is handpicked , at least for me, by the school / a coach outside the school and play games together, but a lot of scouts recruit in the JV / V levels by me. Im in NJ.
