It was an overcast day on ghost town. Abandoned buldings line a central street. At the far end a reinforced bunker lays down a hail of paint like a vertical sea with slots in it. Taking it head on is suicide, so I flank. I sprint from building to ruined building with my Phantom VSC, barely surviving each dash, feeling the paint spatter my feet and thunder off the plywood walls behind me. As I dive around the last gritty corner, skidding on my side, I see a black belching barrel tracking my slide from inside the impenetrable bunker.
Time slows down.
I am surprised as my phantom rises on its own accord, seeming to take control of my arm, and fires its single shot through the center of the six inch firing slit. Then came the most pitiful noise I have ever heard in my life. The player was so surprised at the hit that all he could do was give a little squeaky yelp and stagger off the field. I was chuckling so much behind my mask I could barely run up and surrender the remaining players in the bunker.

A true story.

I went to this speed ball field that was bran new at the time. My gun had blown its sealing cup and I forgot to bring my kit to fix it. So I rented a tippmann 98. I was a little upset how the gun would crock screw shots but heck at least it worked.

Anyhow me and a teammate came on to the other players flank side. I looked out to see a bunker with a very nice angle to hit the other teams flank very well and have almost prefect cover. I told him double trouble to the bunker just in front of him and he looked at me sort of :confused: I went to tell him what this meant and suddenly the other team saw us and started to fire at us. The bunker we were in was very poor and had numerous holes. I was surprised and fell flat on my back. In a panic in all of this I pulled the trigger and the ball sung out of control. It went up in the air then arced back down. Threw a small hole where the shooter was coming from, and it hit him right in the goggles! After the game this old man who was playing asked me how I got him and I told him how I did. He was thinking that was a bunch of bull that would happen to him. Sometimes a gun shooting bad can give advantage in some way and pulling it in panic.;)
