The Dumbest thing you've ever done

[mAgSrulE771]

I hope we can get a sticky..hehe...well, I wanna know the dumbest thing you've EVER done in your history of paintball, newbie or pro.I'll start us off....

The dumbest thing I've ever done in paintball is when I was playing my first real game of paintball. I had no gun, just a mask, and i was following my friend who had a stingray around, "scouting" for him. Well, we were both behind a tree, and I asked for some cover fire so I could move up and find him, but right before I moved, I saw him, and I was ver,very quiet, I saw his barrel pointing straight at me, and I think he didn't see me, I'm not sure, I swallowed very,very hard, and whispered to my friend, "He's right in front of us, right in front, oh my gosh, don't shoot at him, just let him run off!" My friend had other plans. He wanted me to run out as bait, so he could get a clear shot, and me having no gun, I was really scared, but i slowly stood up, and peeked out, he still didn't see us. I yelled, "Please don't shoot me!!!!!" And started walking toward him, he said, "What?", and I walked slowly towards him, closer, closer.....Then my life flashed before my eyes, or actually, it was a paintball, BA, BAM BAMA BAM!!!!!!!! My chest and neck and arms were swolen for about a week after that, and now I have learned to always play WITH a gun.

[DontKillWhitey]

Theres one of these in the general pball talk i think. But anyway, when i first got my mag i didnt kno about the wire nubben thing u put in the barrel so i broke allota balls and double shot a couple times my first day with it.

[SpyderPalmer]

I was playing at indoor arena around my house, I thought my hopper had been shot so i decided to look and see if it had, I couldn't see any marks but continued. As I was looking, I didn't realize that the gun was in plain view of the opposition. They took aim and my gun was shot 3 more times. I learned never to do that again.

[pb69]

OMG, one time this newb at my field got hit, and he walked down to the other side of the field and got shot twenty more times, he was so retarded.

[chrishaolin]

we were playing this past weekend and i brought a bunch of friends who were playing for their first time. during the first game, one of my friends who had never played before walked into someone from the other team. he froze and began running away and for some strange reason just dove on the ground, not even behind any cover -- just on the ground. the kid from the other team started laughing hysterically at him and proceeded to light him up.

[mInImAg169]

lol

[ThaFiend]

Well it was a game of 20 on 20 and I was the last person left on my team, but there were still 17 people left on the OpFor, so I hauled some major butt down the field, zig-zaggin liek a mad man and I reach this really big bunker...... so I switch my boo-yaah onto turbo (the field didn't allow full auto...... b a s t a r d s) and jumped out but I didn't realize that they were all like 25 feet away so before I could even fire once I was shot in the chest at least twice by each person and a few times in the gogs..... yeah man that sucked ***.

[FalconMan]

First game i played outdoors i was inside a castle and i got nailed in the back of my hands and back like by 10 shots because some guy came around the back of us.

[Ded]

one time during a capture the flag game me and 'ole chris had taken cover in some tall grass about 25 yards away from the flag which was mounted on a stick in the ground. The only thing standing between us and the flag was one guy on top of a twenty foot pile of mulch. I decided that i would run the distraction and make a kamikaze run out into the open and try to keep the guy's head down with overwhelming fire while chris ran for the flag. Well i counted to three and then screamed a lot and ran out, past the flag and started shooting like crazy at the guy's hopper. Well, i kept his head down but i didn't keep the head down of our group's designated "maniac paint slinger" AKA Mark Erdmann who had been hiding beside the other guy and neither of us knew he was even there. Anyway i got shot in the leg with a marbalizer but it didn't bust so i dove in some tall grass. meanwhile chris hadn't moved a single inch from his hiding spot which made my run a total bust. i decided to yell to chris "GO FOR IT" then i stood up in my spot and started shooting like crazy at both of them. Needless to say before i even got 3 rounds off i had already been shot three times in the top of the head and the overwhelming pain made me call myself out(later i found out the damn things hadn't even busted on me, now that's some thick *** paint right there). While i made this second kamikaze move, chris decided to finally run for the flag. He got it and we won the game YIPPEEEE!! anyway, my head was bruised for about 2 weeks and though it may have seemed stupid that is a day i will never forget and i'm happy, in the longrun, that i did it. It was fun as hell.

[Ded]

ok, i just thought of this. one time i got into a shootout with my own teamate, it was on the same day as the kamikaze incident above. me and 'ole Brian(Dedagain) got into a shootout in some brush on the edge of the woods. the elbow on my gun was red and apparently made him think i was the guy on the other team with the red shutter. anyway, neither of us hit each other and we finally figured out we were on the same team and stopped shooting. it's a good thing we stopped shooting too because when i got up to go walk over to him and laugh about the whole thing i saw Cody Burnett lying in a ditch, he thought i was the guy on his team with the red shutter so before he could say anything i shot him in the back, hehehe...

[Letchworth40]

what about that time you shot me in the leg in the staging area. That was pretty stupid too. And it hurt like a mofo.

I just thought of another thing! after a game i threw Michael into a "blazing inferno". He was badly burned. :laugh: :laugh:

[Ded]

yes, it was a leaf fire and my hand hurt for a week!!! and that staging area thing was a LONG TIME AGO DAMNIT!!!!

-Michael runs into other room crying...

[mInImAg169]

I once ran into the middle of a field. You can guess what happened.

[mInImAg169]

Today when we were playing I lit up a guy my friend bunkered....Hehe......the ref was PISSED!

[Azrael]

My hopper actually broke off at the feed neck in the middle of a firefight. I got really pissed since it was brand freakin new. I mean i just got it the other day. Anyways i got so pissed i just picked up a bunch of paint in my hand an ran out from behind the bunker as people started to run at my bunker and just threw the paint with my hand. :|

[Thor the Mighty]

dear loard! that same thing happened to me! i just started throwing paint as hard as i could but i got out very fast since i was playing advanced class

[mInImAg169]

Do you guys use co2?

[Puddleglum]

Played paintball with a Daisey Slingshot. Ouch.

[mInImAg169]

Did you chrono?

[Denwad]

I stuffed 5 paintballs in the same barrel once, muzzel loader style, tended have a good shot-gun spread :laugh:

I also shot a Barrel Plug into a plywood target, It broke in too, the target did!:eek:

[mInImAg169]

I know this is off topic, but how do Germans know English?

[TheZephyr]

Okay, there was this one time that i was holed up behind a bunker, trying to snap shoot this guy out, but he was damn good, and I couldn't get him goin out the side. So to solve this problem, I screwed off my hopper, and shot him over the top. I saw the tape line was clear, so I sprinted waay upfield and got into a beatiful bunker on the right tape line. Of course by then, I had realized that I left my hopper behind, and had about two shots left. :(

[mInImAg169]

That REALLY sux!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kashik]

this kid at my local field got shot in the mask. ducked behind cover, whiped the shot, poked back up and got shot in the mask again. He took his mask off, and looked at it, then walked about 200 feet to the neutral area without his mask on. Couldn't stop laughing as the ref was yellin and makin fun of him.

ya, the field i play at is really cool

[Denwad]

:rolleyes: ignorant people, NO MASK?!?

No, I am an American who lives in Bitburg Housing Area, in Germany! But I know my German, speak it quite fluently, **** in writing it! :|

(Edit) Some Germans know English better than some on my base, they have English classes too!:laugh:

[mInImAg169]

thats pretty tite..........but back to the topic...........

[Bigstud44647]

I was playing speedball at this field and I asked this guy on my team if there was somebody behind a spool at mid-field and he said no. I moved up to the spindle and had a good angle on this guy so i got him out. Then when I was trying to shoot at this other guy when I got shot in the hopper through a hole in the middle of the spindle (gun hits didn't count). I didn't think anything of it and kept shooting at the one guy and I kept getting hit in the hopper really hard. Finally I decided to look through the hole to see if I could see who was shooting at me when I got nailed in the goggles. Here there was a guy on the other side of the spool and he had his barrel through the hole. My friend with me was in the dead zone watching it the whole time and he was busting up laughing. It ended up that about all of the balls in my hopper busted (about 50). When we were walking back to the staging area me and my friend were talking about how we were surprised that my hopper didn't break and the kid that was on the other side of the spool was behind us and he was like "oh yeah kept shooting your hopper because I was trying to break it." I wanted to kick his butt.

[mInImAg169]

How about ordering, like buying stuff for yer gun? The dumbest thing I ever ordered was an x-camber when I had a nitro tank, really stupid, and I sold my barrel, leving me barrel- less.

[TheZephyr]

Omg, Stud that's great :agree:

Ok at the woods field last week and I was the first line of assault. I jump behind a pile of sandbags to get out of the open. After about five minutes, I shot out two guys, and all of a sudden, I hear firing from the OTHER side of the bunker, at first, I think its just someone's loud gun, but I kept hearing it and it dawned on me. There was a guy on the other side of the bunker! He must have heard me at the same exact time, because we both jumped up and lit up each other.

[mInImAg169]

HAHA!!! tHAT musta sucked.

has anyone ever won a game throwing paintballs?

[monkpaint]

I remember awhile back I was playing speedball.MY hopper busted and a waterfall of paintballs spilled out.I didnt feel like feeding my gun every 4 balls,besides i had a major ball break in my bolt so it was shooting very crappy and didnt have a squegee handy.So i picked up some paintballs and was on my way threw 1 of them at a guy in the bunker right in front of mine because he wasnt looking at me.Unfortunately I just stood there looking at him with my hand full of paintballs,next thing ya know I had 3 bruizes on my chest.

[mInImAg169]

hahaha......................lol

[haro]

I bought a pt extreme incase my spyder ever jammed. I was playing and it jammed, but I forgot that I had my pt and this guy jumped up right infront of me and started nailing the crapppe out of me.

[mInImAg169]

least you didnt get hit in the balls, or did you?

[mInImAg169]

Has anyone felt dumb about buying a brass eagle?

[Toughguy]

I have only played like three times but i did somthing really stupid my second time. We were playing king of the hill at my local feild and i had found a good spot to hid in so that i could watch the woods and see players coming around to flank me. Well sure enough some did and i twisted around for a goos dhot and pulled on the trigger. Nothing Happend!!!. I had forgotten to turn off my SAFTEY. I got nailed in the hand and all up my gun. Ouch!

[TheZephyr]

I bought Brass Eagle paint on time, it was breaking midair, so i was shooting a stream of gold paint. Then we dropped it on the ground to test the shell, and it broke.

[Ebonclaw]

I tricked out a Stingray II. Dumb enough for ya?

[TheZephyr]

:laugh:

This one time, it was just me and a friend with a tl+ left against about five guys, and we both have pt extremes. We were getting ready to go kamikaze, but i had no ammo, so i swapped my Xtra for his Extreme, he loaded up the Xtra and we both ran down the field yelling BESERKER! and lighting people up with our akimbo guns (he had a tl+ and my Xtra i had the double Pt's). We bunkered all the guys with skill drive through style, and the newbs surrendered.

[Ebonclaw]

I loaned my brand new Shutter to a newbie who had only used a Jackal. He was blown away and liked it so much....he picked paint off the ground to keep shooting it.....until the sand jammed it up.

[TheZephyr]

ACK! No ground paint! Clean and oil your gun and its back to normal, I've helped newbs aplenty clear their guns of ground paint. But why is it so hard for newbs to resist balls on the ground?

in that case you must not have a very god barrel plug. i mean my God man, the plug is supposed to stop paintballs not fly out and break people's legs and such.

[Friday]

The first day I went paintballing I hid behind a van. When I went up to look through the windows (no glasses in the windows though) I saw someone on the other team. Remembering what the ref said about close quarter, around the corner confrontations I didn't want to seriously hurt the other guy at point blank range and should demand a surrender. So I pointed my gun (but not aiming) around the corner and yelled "Surrender!" He just ran and bunkered me. Why the heck did I ask for a surrender when I clearly didn't have the upper hand? :|

[Kamikaze_PBalla]

Last weekend i was at PBC in NC we started a game and i ran mid field to my bunker. i saw to tippmann stock barrels sticking out of a bunker about 20 foot away from me so i proceeded to run to bunker these two newbs i went to take a shot and it lobbed out of the barrel turns out i had 10psi in my tank. Oooouch Man that hurt


On another interesting note tippmann stock barrels look alot like boomers and alot of angel owners have boomers least the two i went to bunker did!!!!!!!!:bawling: :cry:

[Creeper]

I left a bag of about 400 balls at our flag station so I could have ammo for the next game (didn't bring my pods). I came back, and it was stolen.

There was a field with bunkers made only of metal drums. I slid into one, knocked it over (they weren't secured down), and was shot by about 5 different people.

I placed an extra piece of tape where my sear catches my bolt, so my gun went into full auto. I panicked, turned my gun, and unloaded about 50 balls onto the side of my house before I could unscrew the CO2.

[Shifty Capone]

Haha i have a good one, the first time i ever went paintballin, it was with a church group, and anyways me and a friend of mine were walking on the tape and we see a kid too involved with going up the middle, so he didnt see us and my friend said," im gonna charge at em, if i dont get you get em" so he gets up and runs yelling and screaming and TRYING to shoot but his safety was on and he got shot a couple times
hahahah that was a fun day

[wwhooper]

Ok, the first time I played our team had me using a rental, another guy using a rental, a guy with an inpulse, and a guy with a wal-mart gun. The guy with the impulse was apparently new to the field and didn't know the bunkers well at all (it's the weirdest speed ball field I ever played on), so he couldn't command us very well. so, we didn't even come up with a plan. just our luck the other team had a guy with an EM-1 and fired as fast as it would at start. All 3 of us newbies went to the same, closest bunks (it just happend to be the worst one we could choose on that side) and all huddled in. The guy with the impulse got a good angle on the em-1 dude, but as soon as he fired, his gun screwed up and he called out!!!!!! well, they started try in to shootus by aiming up and we all paniced and poushed. I ended up falling out of the bunker and got shot 2 time from about 15 feet in my ribs, and then I was walking downhill on my way out and accidently started picking up speed, SO THEY THOUGHT I WAS IN!!!!!!!! I got hit 2 more time on the opposite side of my rib cage and then finally got out of bounds. Stupid, huh?

[JEDARAPA2]

A few weeks ago I was at the airball field. The game started and one of our guys got out n the break. It was 5 of us vs. 2 guys w/ electro cockers and the field manager. The game progressed, they were getting eliminations left and right, and before I know it I'm the last on my team, so I ditch my bunker and run out in the open. I am still ususre why, but I did, and it was fun. I got the manager out, but in that same instant I took a s.load of hits in the arm, and that was the end. I highly reccomend a attempt at this sometime just for the hell of it.

[Havoc45]

One time I was playing some 1 on 1 rec ball. (Thick woodlands with trails) Anyways I just started paintball and was walking through a big open trail semi-casual. (I was suprised didnt get shot there) I walked to the end of the trail and was ducked behind a old refrigerator. My friend was about 5 yards behind me. His guns fps was cranked up and I was sticked 3 times in the ribs. Hit hurt so bad.

Oh yeah, in another game I played, a player didnt have gun so he used a squad buster, it... wasnt pretty.

[PMI_Guy]

i was moving to bunker some body, and i wasent watching, and i ran into a tree. lol. :paranoid:

[mInImAg169]

whoa........retard....j/k lol

[Thor the Mighty]

i posted this in the other forum but hey!

its a tie between:trying to bunker someone with my saftey on and my gun uncocked

and: thinking the game is over, standing up, brushing myself off and getting lit up!

[Twisted Angel]

this is something that a friend did that was stupid.

we were going to the field to play 1 on 1 but 2 guys came up and we went 2 on 2 in speedball aginst 2 other guys and won, but I was out of air. Instead of going back to the field house and geting a N2 fill, I said I would play him any way, recocking the gun every time. So the game started, he went to the dumbist bunker on the field, because it blocks off half the field!! I moved all the way up to the bunker in frount of him while he shot at the bunker that I had faked like I got into. I stood up and could see his marker and arms but he couldn't see me because he cept standing up in the same spot, LOL!! I just smerked and shot his hand. He was fu**ing pissed!!

ok......so it wasn't telling something stupid about someone else as much as it is bragging........oh well

[acid_spyder]

My friend was telling me about how he took this one guy to the field for the first time and he seen this one guy on the other team and he took off after him shooting like crazy he got nailed like 10 times and didnt even hit the guy. wat an idiot

[Micewheelz72]

This is one of the stupides things ive been involved with.:
My friend just switched form 12grams to a 14oz tank. He got it at wlmart and came to a game the next day. In the middle of the game you hear "TIME OUT!! Hey guys, how do you turn the tank on??" we all laughed then he said "But i thought it came filled!" OMG it was funny!
This very smae friend is going to waste 800$ on a palmer nasty when we keep telling him to get an intimadator. But he says "CAn that gun shoot 2 at a time? Well, the nasty can!" we reply wiht, it can shoot more than 6 at a time. and he says "O yeah, the nasty is double barreled!" We say "Yeah, twice the paint, weight and gas wasted. which equals twice the money!" becuz he sucks really bad.
and he's still convinced to get it!

[Cerberust]

Ya, my mistake was inviting certain friends of my friends to my house to play with rentals.

friend1 - shoots her own teammates in the back purposely for fun.

friend2 - runs around without a shirt on clucking like a chicken.

friend3 - doesnt move the entire game and ends the first person out each time.

friend 4 - gets shot, takes off his helmet and walks to the BACK of the woods, almost gets shot.

friend 5 - shot the house, causing my angry dad to tell us to come inside for the day.

[choas killer]

i was using my be talon b/c my rebel ran out of co2 so i had to use it:mad: then the bolt on it broke so i throw it at the other guy b/c he woulnt stop shooting me and he learned his lesson not to shoot a guy with a broken talon or he might get hurt again:eyes:

[tippymann]

The stupidest thing I have done (not voluntarily) was I was making my way down a hill and my feet slipped and I fell onto a jagged stump and knocked my head hard enough to bounce my goggles off. I was in a daze, looked up at the guy I was chasing, and TWAP! The tree right next to me is marked with an orange Proball. That scared me. I called time and fixed myself up, and he grabbed the flag, and my friend and I chased him down and he got shot in the back by my teammate.

Another thing that was funny is the same friend that almost shot me in the face was getting shot at and jumped into a trench covered by a tree that we hadn't finished. Even though he was ducking into it, his whole back was showing over the tree. Naturally, I hear "WHAT THE ****?!" And he jumps out as fast as he can and finds cover.

One more: The same friend again, we started right by eachother two times. The first time I was aiming at him to start, and I heard GO and shot him in the leg with three shots. (Brass Eagle) Next time, I was aiming at him and he didn't see me, and I unloaded about 5 or 10 on him, and each one missed, but one hit a twig right in front of his face and scared him half to death. (Proballs)
