paintball in the rain

[blackfish]

is it possible to play paintball in the rain?

[ahhh_the_madnes]

yes.... its also possible to play when massive ants are taking over the planet. But its not advisable.

aka

I wouldnt do it cause it might screw up my gauges or just the gun in general... And it would be difficult to see anything cause of all the drops on yur lense... my 2 cents

[fireblade]

Yeah, I've done it before during a light rain/heavy, thick fog. It was one of my hardest games ever, since we were playing on this steep hill and it was very muddy. It got kind of hard to breathe too, due to the air being extremely thick. Heh, I was the only person whos mask didnt fog up :)

[nlh]

Maybe you could wrap your marker in some type of cloth, etc., and play if you had goggles with a visor. (?)

[death]

uh well, keep the paint in the case dry, keep your hopper from water getting in, clean your gun after you get home, keep water from getting into your barrel, get some thermal lenses, get a fan. if your goggles had a visor. if you can do most of the above, the first three definately, then you're set for rain play.

Whatever you do don't get wet! Ever see The Return to OZ? Nuff said.

[REDCELT]

Yes- you fog up and get really wet, cold & muddy. 0 accuracy and when you squeegie your barrel water comes out instead of paint. lots of fun! Highly reccomend it!

[SpYdEr_RyDeR]

the paint would wash off anyways, you wouldnt know if the other person is hit or not

[ciaran.mooney]

Depends which paint you use, cheap paint is almost like water any way, good quality paint (though washable) wont come off in rain.

Rains all the time where i play, we have special paintballs that dodge the rain :D

[SpYdEr_RyDeR]

I love my gun too much to put it through that, i wouldnt want anything to mess up on it. In a way the good paint sucks, if you get hit in the goggles and later have to clean it, it just smeers, but just beacsue that i'm not going to stop using my pro-balls.

I played in the rain and 3 inches of mud today. It was a blast!

[ciaran.mooney]

3 inches of mud? Pft! Thats nothing, got stuck down my knees before now! That was annoying.

[UTLadiesMan]

I lost a shoe in one of the bunkers. Had to fish it out with a stick.

Ever read Dilbert? Remember the Elbonians? That's us in Tennessee right now. The only reason the mud isn't above our heads is because we're wearing GIANT Spice-Girl style boots that we bought cheap as props from "BattleField Earth"

sunday i played a tourney in the rain but it was drizzling during our game:D
a ton of idiots left their electros i.e. impys shockers dark angels
out in the rain (on a table) when it raining really hard :eek:

[SpYdEr_RyDeR]

angels are fully sealed from what i heard, someone was telling me you could shoot underwater.

[DasBaldDog]

Some of them are sealed but VERY VERY few. When I say VERY VERY few, I mean like 4 world wide. As for shooting underwater, nah. Pretty much impossible. The water would cause ALL kinds of problems.

I once experimented with submerging underwater with my gun triple wrapped as to make the space around it water proof. It was for a 24 hour scenario game, but I encountered little success. I did get it to work once, but mind you, it neither fired underwater, nor was touched by water at any point.

With all the rain we're getting in INDIANA, when we go out and play next week, we'd sink a good foot or 2 when running and lose our boots. BUT IT'D BE FUN AS HELL!

[SpYdEr_RyDeR]

Thats cool, my mom live in warsaw indiana. I wouldnt play in the rain either way though.

[FUBARFREAK]

i have played in thunder storms we take plastic wrap or a grabge bag and throw it over the marker if you think it will hurt it.:freak:
