i now know the game of paintball pretty good, with alot of information on alot of aspects of the game, but reading these stories makes me want to share my first experience of paintball to you all.
it was a very warm summer day, i had gotten my brass eagle out from under my bed, i couldnt sleep i was so excited, i had oiled it the other night and from what i saw it was in its best possible condition. my friend dustin should be over in a couple of hours, he also got a gun for christmas and he was also playing his first game today, he had a spyder compact java 2in1. I called thalen, my friend who was taking us to paintball central in north carolina to get paint and air. when we left with me dustin tyler thalen and tj i was feeling like i was at home, alot of people i knew where in a car with me and we were listening to tj and tyler and thalen all tell their war stories and how bad we would get shot up, i was then pretty nervous but ok i was still in a state of euphoria because of the thrill of playing some paintball! we got back home and started to load balls into our hopper, i was taking my time and they were walking off so i ran to catch up to them, i just about shot tyler running but it rushed by his head instead of hitting him(barrel plugs are a good thing, i wish i had one then) he spun around and punched me in the stomach, i was a little scared by his out of nowhere flare of temper but a joking smile crossed his face and he said, "holy crap you scared me!!!". we split up into teams me and dustin and thalen vs. tyler and tj. we were on the field first and i picked out a nice little 3 sided bunker and set up shop. dustin and thalen found there spot, and then a sudden silence encumbered the field, i was scared ****less, i was thinking of just running off the field but then i heard pap pap pap!! and another long string of paint, i was then overcome by adrenaline, i had to get out of the bunker, so i just came a little ways out to see what had happened, .....dustin was out, he had been nailed in the shoulder and in the mask. i was half hysterical, i tried to keep silent but i started to laugh as he walked by, he said "shut up, i will get ya next game!!" then said it didnt feel so bad and i was relieved but i went back into game mode for i could see tyler, he was stalking his way through the woods , i motioned to thalen that he was on one side of the field and thalen motioned to me that tj was on the other side. thalen set up for tj and i set up for tyler. after a while i saw him and took my first shot at another player, it went right and smashed into a tree, breaking bark and all that stuff, i thought my gun might have been hot, but i didnt care, all the better for me, he saw me then and shot the shots didnt come close, so i started to shoot again, this was great, the ball was going straight for him!!!oh no, suddenly the ball droped down rapidly and well i know you know what happend, but ,,,,,oh well it hit him in the crotch, my first hit , and directly in the crotch, it didnt bust though, so he rand away, i then say thalen and he can and told me he was about out of balls, so i handed him my guppie and he had 150 left, he told me that if i could run to a tree way far to the end of the field it would draw fire and we could figure out where tj and tyler were, so i ran, i heard balls wooshing by my face and legs, but i wasnt hit i made it to the tree and then i saw tyler, he was sneeking up on thalen, i yelled to thalen and started shooting at him, he was nailed in the left thigh right next to his knee, man i was thrilled, my first paintball kill, i say tj and told his position, he was ahead of me about 50 feet away behind a tree, thalen instantly started popping off shots so that i could move up i finally stopped thinking that at about 30 feet, it might start to be a little too close, i leaned out and saw tj, fired 3 shots and waited, thinking it was over i waited some more(newbie mistake) and suddenly he shot once with his pgp and just about hit me, man i was lucky, we started snapshooting at each other for about 1 minute, and i was the unlucky one and was plugged with a paintball right in the mask, man i had a fun time, the game ended with tj and thalen running out of paint. we sat at the starting area and talked about the game for a while and then loaded up to play one more game......man this is a great sport.
hope you didnt have to read too much, i now own an automag and my friend dustin own an autococker, but tj tyler and thalen still have the same guns they started with, and truly play the sport for the fun, not how fast you could shoot or anything like that, the are true old schoolers!!! thanks guys for a great first time.
